... I saw this movie at the theater and thought the story was good, doing a great tie between the "a Star Wars story" and the Star Wars series.
There were some aspects that kept the movie from being "great", but I can't put my figure on it.
However, it was enough to get me to purchase the movie when it was released in digital format -- If for no other reason I own all movies in the Star Wars universe ... not any animated one but all the motion pic(s).
I would recommend it for anyone who considers themselves a Star Wars fan!
We enjoyed the film. A hybrid film, that takes a classic Asian legend adds a healthy dose of mythology and combines with a fantasy⦠throw in a taboo love interest and you have a good way to spend two hours. It isn't for everyone but it was a good movie for the wife and I!
If you choose not to catch it at the theater... see it at home, if for no other reason than to say you did!
I found this to be a nice reboot of the Jack Ryan series - Reintroducing us to the personal history while modernizing the story.
Yes, there was a lull but the payoff for the viewer's patients is worth it. I believe there will be at least another movie and it can easily be much better now that "groundwork" is laid.
Definitely recommend this movie for both new Jack Ryan fans and old alike.
