An exciting, funny, epic adventure that looks good, sounds good, and has a good cast. Not sure what movie the critics were watching instead.

Awful, but held my two-year-old’s attention for ten minutes.

First of all, it looks and feels authentic. Second, the lack of background/context for the characters makes their occasional irrationality frustrating to reason about. Finally, the movie’s genius is in taking what would be considered understandable beliefs/behavior/actions and pushing them to the next level, which begets questionable morality and good drama.

Mediocre action movie. Lazy plot conflict driven by miscommunication.

Classic character-driven card-player cinema.

Too much.

Clever/insane.

Classic stop-action.

I’m glad this was made, and it was well produced, but the main story conflict isn’t particularly good.

Satisfactory.  Funny to think how derided the Ewoks were, in light of later Lucas transgressions.
