The Force has indeed (Re-)Awakened for Star Wars. The haters are liars.

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2016)

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a fabulous film and is a good dose of escapism from mundane everyday life, just like The Original Trilogy was. We can forget all our problems when seeing this movie. The Force Awakens sparks a joy for the child in all of us which many of us have been waiting for since The Empire strikes Back or Return of the Jedi. There couldn't have been a story more worthy of the subtitle 'Episode VII'.
I will say that though the film is derivative of the other Star Wars films at times, it uses the tropes to the benefit of the story rather than detract from it, like the whole Trade Negotiations rubbish that plagued the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. J.J. Abrams reinvigorates the assaulted franchise and gives us some of the most powerful moments ever seen in the saga.
Don't give in to the trolling of the 'prequel fanboys'. They're just upset that somebody did a much stronger job than Lucas could have managed on his own. They couldn't tell a good movie apart from Transformers 3 & 4, or any Michael Bay movie for that matter. We are entitled to our own opinion and mustn't succumb to these 'emotion vampires' that do their best and ultimately fail to make a difference in the end.
The Force Awakens is a refreshingly fun film that as a form of escape in this day and age plagued by terrorism, cyber-terrorism, LGBT discrimination and racism. Star Wars is a welcoming series that isn't conformed by anything in our world ; it's a self-realising ecstasy that will always be there for us like an old friend.
Edit: While I do still love this film I do not dismiss the fact that some people did not like the film very much. What I do dismiss is their dismissal of anyone liking it or disliking it unsubjectively. We're our own persons and not 'sheeple'. The Force Awakens is just a film, and let's agree to disagree and not spit venom at each other for it, okay? I know that it's not totally original but it didn't need to be. I loved this movie for what it IS, not for what it isn't. There; I've said what I needed to be addressed.
