It stands on it's own 2 feet

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2016)

I felt I should write something, I had not watched any trailers or read up on this film before watching it this morning as I wanted to judge for myself if this could go up against the others. I've been thinking about the film since I've come out and must say, it does do a great job. It's created a narrative without having to rely on established characters, gave good foundations to the characters it's created and tied it to the main storyline almost perfectly. It isn't perfect, much like Episode 7 isn't, But it creates a story you can believe and characters you can root for. It's also quite a powerful storyline and I think this gives it the strength it needs to of been able to stand up against such a fan base of the originals. It's a part of the family, it just doesn't need to shout about it, if you get my meaning. 8/10, nicely done
