The force is strong with this one

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2015)

Episode VII picked up where Episode VI left off (pretty obvious :D) and it is like 20-30 years ago after the original trilogy. I was surprised that this movie did not rely much on CGI, but instead JJ Abrams relied mostly on practical effects which is awesome. Now to the characters: the original characters have returned like Leia, Han, and Chewbacca. Among them, Han pretty much changed. He is still cocky, yes, but he has matured since the original trilogy. Leia, well, she is a general now ha! (Not a surprised though) And Chewie is still the same. The characters are also good. John Boyega's Finn is likable and there is also Daisy Ridley's Rey. The two have great chemistry despite the fact that they are both unknown actors. Then there comes Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron. He is like the best big brother you never had. Kylo Ren is the most bad-ass of the cast and he is the villain. Wew. Judging the from the trailers alone, it looked like he was gonna be another Vader but surprised to say that he is not. He is more human than you think. And then there the dick space Nazi and other characters that I'm not gonna reveal because SPOILERS! The soundtrack and the sound effects will give you goosebumps because it's too nostalgic! grin emoticon The only gripe I have about this movie is the story and some elements of it. This film feels exactly like the original which is a plus and not.There are scenes that you know will happen because I feel it was copied from the original. Just wait and listen to Han's joke about the Death Star- like system.
