I just saw "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."The reviews are correct. It's good. Really good. It's so good, in fact, that I think it's second only to "The Empire Strikes Back," which pretty much everyone agrees is the best of the bunch.
Here's my spoiler-free, definitive ranking of "Star Wars" movies from best to worst:
- "Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back"
- "Episode VII: The Force Awakens"
- "Episode IV: A New Hope"
- "Episode VI: Return of the Jedi"
- "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"
- "Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
- "Episode II: Attack of the Clones"
Some people will say I ranked "The Force Awakens" so high because I just saw it and I'm geeked out. I disagree. I walked out of all three prequel movies hating each one. This is different. Yes, it follows almost the same formula as "A New Hope." But I'm OK with that. I was never bored. And I think it sets things up nicely for what is sure to be another epic two movies.
