A really great film, watch it !!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2016)

First off, I watched this film after watching all 6 of the previous films (guess I'm not the first) and avoided reviews of this one (again, not the first). I absolutely, wholeheartedly loved this film, it's fantastic, I want to see it again, NOW! Let's get down to the nitty gritty. Visually, wonderful, harks back to the first film (in 1977) and integrates todays CGI without making you feel as if you're watching a cartoon. The live action sequences are totally edge of the seat stuff, the change of scale stuff (seeing Rey mucking about inside a Star Destroyer, then panning out to see the thing crashed in the sand are truly awesome, no doubt. The characters are as well drawn out as they can be, it's a sci-fi-opera genre, don't forget. The new characters, Rey & Finn, well, you just root for them, don't you? Chewie & Han, you love them already. Princess Leia adds a new depth, although you feel you want to know more about what's gone on there. Our new baddies are 1: anguish, but acted much, much better than Haydn Christianson, 2:Wow, evil beyond contempt The story, music, acting, visuals kept me very much entertained & wanting for more. Guys and Gals, it's about time we faced up to it, this is a great film, one of the most successful in all time, it's especially good for the 40+s like me who saw the first films for the first time out. J.J.Adams has done a fantastic job, hands down, Kudos. I think what's going on here is, the older people (like myself, of the generation that saw the first films the first time in the 70's / 80's) saw what we always wanted, loved it, consumed it, oh! But the younger generation, bless, can't relate to it quite so much. My opinion is, it's a wonderful film, well worth watching & well worth watching again & again to see the nuances I missed. I enjoy, now, being able to talk to friends about it & revel in it. Summary, wonderful, enjoyed every minute. Bad points: Rubbish reviews. Grow up, people, if you can do better, go do it! This is a really good movie, well worth seeing, entertaining, you know what you're going to get & you actually get much, much more... For me, 7 euros is the best money I have spent in years. Not so bad, eh?
