I don't really know what people are complaining about. Just for fans of the original... I haven't seen it and I absolutely loved this. Brilliant music, great actors, quite fantastic in my opinion.
I really don't know what to think of this, I'm completely overwhelmed. This must be the craziest film I've ever seen, it's an absolute rollercoaster. My rating is basically completely useless, one has to see it to have any kind of idea whether it's fantastic or absolutely terrible, and I still don't know.
I can't give a proper overall rating because there are so many different levels in this film. The basic idea is spot on and absolutely brilliant, but perhaps the technical execution, particularly of the Sci-fi stuff, doesn't work so well in the over-the-top satire style of the film. Or maybe it does? And also the jazz music? Why? Or why not? Or something?
I mean, watch it. Please. Don't take my word for anything, just watch it. Please.
You just don't introduce that many (some stupid) new technical things in the last episode of a Sci-fi saga like this (can't list them all, easily spottable for a fan). Some good things like Lando and the return to Tatooine at the end . Not bad, but easily the worst Star Wars. The Phantom Menace is a great film compared to this.
