The Dukes of Hazzard was a gem that will always be remembered as a classic. It was a combo of fast action, well-timed comedy, good plot lines & extremely likeable characters. Every episode involved a car chase with the General Lee, which sadly today would have to have a different look because of the Confederate flag on the roof, even though Bo & Luke didn't show a hint of racism. The flag is just part of southern culture.

I think what made the show so successful was that it was relatable to everyone, even if you weren't a southerner or had never been to the south. It was about 2 good ole boys & their partner in crime Daisy sticking it to the man & always doing the right thing.

The show is about 3 strangers who are all subconsciously connected through their dreams. The characters are a mother who is looking for her lost child, whom she is told by the hospital doesn't exist, a man looking for his missing girlfriend & a detective trying to cure his catatonic mother.

The directing is great, it plays out like a movie. Fortuately it does not resemble Inception, except for the fact the the theme revolves around dreams & the subconscious. The acting is also good too, especially by one of the leads, Lizzy Brochere who plays Tess.

This seems like one of those shows that will be a long mini-series, or play out like an extended movie, because it's difficult to see how the plot can carry out more than 1 or 2 seasons without the mysteries being resolved. It's a unique plot and very entertaining to watch. The pilot already had a few twists!

While this film is an improvement on some of the prequil movies such as Attack of the Clones, which were a disappointment, it lacks the soul and character the original 3 had.

The plot was very vague and oversimplified and the character development was also lacking.However there were some great performances from Ridley and Boyega and of course Ford always delivers a good performance.

It felt a little too much like a "Disney" film, although it was nice to see Carrie Fisher & Harrison Ford again. The movie feels too much like a Star Trek film and this is where Abram's influence shows. It was a mistake not to allow Lucas to direct. The movie did have its positive aspects and had great action and special effects. I think most fans are relieved that the movie didn't suck.
