An incredible adventure!

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2016)

This is absolutely the Star Wars film people, not just fans, have been waiting for all these years. Right from the beginning the thrill of Star Wars is palpable and the wonder of discovery returns. J.J. Abrams brings his talent for making the audience care very much for his characters and sets up not just a new trilogy, but a whole new generation of Star Wars that the prequel films could not muster. The magic of this world, the excitement of conflict and even the comedic moments between the endearing characters are all there.
Some people may take the film to task for calling back to particular moments from Star Wars: A New Hope, but what they are forgetting (or blatantly ignoring in true internet hyperbole style)is that this film really needed to bridge the enormous gap between the first trilogy, while making up for the terrible stain that is the prequel trilogy. Regardless, this is a fun, thrilling and emotionally beguiling film. This film and not Episodes I-III will be more memorable and truly loved so that Star Wars will remain a staple in human society for generations to come.
