@#$@# got spoiled by a video review from Cinemassacre. it starts with "spoiler" warning text and then immediately one of the guys spoils something, like in the first 5 seconds of the video.

Anthony Lane, clumsy.
It is not for that reason, however, that I salute your courage in going to see “The Force Awakens.” Something more urgent than metaphysics is at issue, namely this: paying to watch a new “Star Wars” movie, in the wake of its predecessors—“The Phantom Menace,” “Attack of the Clones,” and “Revenge of the Sith”—is like returning to a restaurant that gave you severe food poisoning on your last three visits. So, be of good cheer. “The Force Awakens” will neither nourish nor sate, but it is palatable and fresh, and it won’t lay you low for days to come. Worshippers of the older films will have every right to feel cosseted and spoiled, as random exclamations—“Weapon fully charged in thirty seconds!”, “It’ll take a miracle to save us now!”, “Let’s hit that oscillator with everything we’ve got!”—echo through the cinema like the barks of excited dogs. Heretics and infidels, like myself, will be gratified to have avoided a more parlous fate. Please forgive us if we snort into our sodas when Han Solo remarks, “The Dark Side, the Jedi—it’s true. All of it.” Actually, Han, it’s not. It’s baloney. But it’s fun to behold, for now. And how long is it until the next chunk, a spin-off titled “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” crash-lands at a movie theatre near you? One year. The Force is with us forever, whether we like it or not.

Hmmm. I still think the trench run from ANH is one of the most amazing chase sequences ever put to film. Top five easy, top three or two quite possibly. TFA didn't have that going for it but it's still a great movie

Sorry: Tessek the Quarren
What the "remix" reviews are missing, for me, is the overwhelming (in every sense of the world) sensation I got that this world had kept on existing just as it was since 1983, with the characters living on, messing their lives up, time passing just as in the real world, and only now did we somehow manage to find our way back to it, a return to neverland, more or less, tinged with the pathos of loss, of having grown up in the meantime, and yet it was there all along. We just didn't have access to it. It's a different kind of enchantment from the first trilogy precisely because it builds on that feeling of time and a world lost, but it does remember the importance of enchantment and captures it correctly.
Great post.

Feel the same way with Crystal Skull?
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 21 December 2015 23:26 (eight years ago) link
I rewatched Crystal Skull over the Thanksgiving holiday and it was decent! It has more jokes related to historical setting than the other Indiana Jones films (atomic bomb test, Grease-style diner fight) and the end is more of an effects-laden send-off, but there are some really good set pieces when they're springing traps and navigating ruins.
John Hurt and Karen Allen are great, Shia LaBeouf a lot less so.
