''The force is strong with this one''

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2015)

The Force Awakens was a blast to watch and an emotionally thrilling ride filled with adventure, story, characters and a lot of heart. The film has exceeded my expectations for the Star Wars film franchise. I expected a good movie but what i did not expect was a great one. I am casual Star Wars fan. I love the original trilogy, but i can also appreciate the prequels as well, though to a lower degree because when there are so few Star Wars films, you kinda have to. What this film does is it eliminates the overly complicated story-lines of that set up the prequel trilogy in favor of a much simpler old fashioned way of story telling reminiscent of the original. Which is a refreshing breath of air for Star Wars fans.
The film pays homage to what made the original so great. The wonder of an age long forgotten, a novelty of discovery and the age-old tale of good vs evil. Exciting battles and unlikely heroes seemingly destined for greatness. And the story with characters that feel much more natural and likable added with the much absent humor aspect thrown into the mix. The result is adventure that many will want to revisit time and time again. I left the movie theater satisfied with the ending and with hopeful expectations for its bright future.
