Hate Me If You Want To

Personally I do not think the new Star Wars movie is going to be all that great. To me, the trailer doesn't look that good. It looks cheesy and overdramatized, and if it is anything like episodes 1-3 (the new ones not the old) then they will not be very good.

Although the newer star wars movies have "better graphics" and probably have more action in them my favorites still remain episodes 4-6 (the older ones). I actually liked the graphics in the old movies. Though most of the time you could tell exactly how they got a certain effect in the movies those effects gave it a real look and gave it charm that the newer ones do not have.

Episode VII The Force Awakens looks like every other movie that has been coming out lately. The whole feel of the movie (based on the trailer of course) feels like another disaster strikes earth (though of course that is not the planet they are on) and the hero, or heroine as the case is for this movie, comes in and saves the world.

Which brings me to my next point (one in which I know others will disagree on) that this movie looks like another woman-is-stronger-than-man-and-can-do-anything-man-can-do kind of movie. Though I am all in favor of a woman being the main character of a movie I do not, however, like the way hollywood twists them into another symbol of infinite power. Put a woman as the main character of a movie and suddenly she becomes great at everything and she can't do any wrong and nothing is her fault. (Also a dangerous topic, I know).

Though I have not given very good points on the matter, I still don't think that the new Star Wars movie will be any good. Of course I want to see it, but the only reason right now for me to go see it is so I can say that I've seen it.

I am, however, excited to see the parts Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher play as well as some of the other actor from the very first Star Wars movies.
