A good movie

Of course, like anyone else, I was really curious about this new Star Wars installment, especially since the reviews were so positive. Unfortunately, I’m afraid I actually ended up with some mixed feelings about the damned thing. I mean, sure, it was a really fun blockbuster, no doubt about it, and it was much better than any of the prequels but, to be honest, it wasn’t really such a difficult goal to achieve. Basically, what above all really bothered me with this movie was how it shamelessly copied the whole plot of  'A New Hope'. Sure, they did change a few details which most of the time worked out fine but, as far as I was concerned, this movie felt more like a remake than something actually really new. On the other hand, it seems that the mainstream audience didn't really care since it became a massive box-office success like 'Jurassic World' which used exactly the same trick recycling the same story used in 'Jurassic Park'. Still, I have to admit it, they actually nailed it and it was especially awesome to see Harrison Ford playing again one of his most iconic characters. I think that it was also a good move to kill him off because he was so good that he was actually pretty much upstaging  the new characters. This way, they will hopefully get more attention in the following installments (well, that didn’t happen at all after all…). Since then, I did re-watch this movie and even though it is not bad at all, it might actually be the most overhyped movie ever released. Anyway, to conclude, even though it wasn’t really a complete home-run for me, I have to admit that it was still a solid Star Wars flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
