Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens Ratings & Reviews
- PhineasJuly 10, 2025Disney had such an amazing opportunity here, and this started off so well. Wasted potential everywhere. Finn should've been the Jedi.
- KumaylHemrajMay 5, 2025Amazing movie!!!!
- PapaHamzehApril 2, 2025This movie really showed the world the direction Disney was going to be taking their franchises, and I dont think enough of us really paid attention to the signs. They had the world by the balls, and we couldn't help it. The slop they made for the pings was pretty damned good slop. Rehashed story? Boring. Familiar bloodlines for villains, playing on the literal ashes of those villains? Snooze. Science fiction that manages to be so glaringly stupid that even people who are here for space wizards are left thinking "really"? MERCHANDISING, MERCHANDISING, MERCHANDISING...but again, and even harder. I give it three stars because, at least up till this point, Rey and Finn and Kylo are enough of a tease that we don't really know better. They are decent characters in their own right, and really could have set the franchise up for success, had they been given the opportunities to do so with a good script and cohesive direction from Disney execs and not JJ Abrams and the resulting mess. Instead, Disney was beginning to realize what 'nostalgia' could do for the profits, and the doom was upon us.
- Spaceman JoeJune 4, 2025If the rest of the sequel trilogy was amazing, this one would stand out as the one weak-ish link. But unfortunately it stands out as the one okay-ish link. I think people lump this together with the next two as “the worst Star Wars” and although this doesn’t live up to other OG Star Wars movies, it still is pretty solid I guess and better than the other two after it. It would’ve could’ve should’ve been fine enough setup for a great trilogy. But now it’s viewed as the start of the bottom of the barrel. Best thing about it: Kylo Ren. Worst thing about it: it’s a freaking new hope copy and paste completely!!! That’s the one thing I can’t really stand about it. But overall…. It’s ok…
- zombiemosesMay 17, 2025Love it. No notes.
- Eric BakkeOctober 9, 2024The "Force Awakens" perfectly captures the spirit of the original Star Wars trilogy with a mix of innovation and familiarity, while introducing compelling new characters and cutting edge special effects.
- ahughes89September 1, 2025I wish I could give this one quarter star.
- tellumAugust 22, 2025One of the few times in film where a reimagining was given the care and respect necessary to capture the previous feeling of specialness that the original movie gave. As we would later see, this was a miraculous occurrence.
- mickerdooJuly 31, 2025I grew up on 1-3 and didn't have the undying attachment to 4-6. So the harmony of great effects and casting really let me enjoy this.
- Mister ArnMay 17, 2025Remake of the first movie, using aged actors from that film. Weak imitation, only diehard fans will enjoy.
- wf625June 30, 2025I know the sequel trilogy gets hated on, but I don’t think it’s as bad as people says it’s still not as good as the original trilogy or the prequel trilogy
- cole_bonnellJune 28, 2025Back when all Star Wars fans were collectively hyped about something.
- Edward SchofieldMay 10, 2025Watchable but messy.
- mandersoMay 4, 2025Good remake of episode 3
