The Force is Strong With This Film

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2016)

It is exactly what I longed for. It brings a breath of fresh air for the Star Wars universe (one can only watch George Lucas's horribly edited original trilogy so many times). I love the diversity in this movie. It wasn't until this film that I noticed all the previous Star Wars movies' main protagonists are white guys. It's about time the main character of Star Wars is a bad*** woman. It's humor is well done. There's an obvious chemistry between the cast members. It is an absolute joy to hear the new John Williams' soundtrack. The special effects are freaking gorgeous. It's a perfect blend of both practical and CG effects. Kylo Ren, even if you hate him later in the movie, you can't deny that he's as intimidating as well as interesting. The acting of Kylo Ren feels like it's what Anikan in Revenge of the Sith should have been. The emotions and fights feel real. Nothing is over-the-top and ridiculous. It's tense and keeps your heart hammering for the characters. If you haven't seen it, please do. May the Force be with you.
