There really isn't much wrong here (although it's hard to disagree with < a href='http://ift.tt/2g1B25m'>Imagine a future. Where women are *still* treated as sex objects) but I also found there wasn't anything truly spectacular or delivering any real emotional weight. That could just be a result of all the positive reviews creating an unreasonable level of expectations. For me, it feels more like this is just what I expect good mainstream films to be (is this even mainstream?) and everything else is so bad our acceptance levels have declined.
I do think this is better than the original and will stand the test of time just as well. It's perhaps too long and there was a whole fourth act I wasn't expecting. It wouldn't have been possible but I do think it would have been better if Ford hadn't been included in any of the publicity, the inevitably of his late appearance is distracting. It also feels like Jared Leto has wandered in from another film (again) and his first scenes seem to add very little. But it's good (better than good really) and it could have been terrible and destroyed the legacy and for that we should be grateful.
