Great comeback!

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2015)

What a hype! And it actually payed off. This movie turned out to be absolutely worth the wait. There are some flaws of course, but not every movie can be like The Empire Strikes Back. I personally got exactly what I was expecting from this movie. Great, but still, not better than the original trilogy.
J.J. Abrams is directing this one and I had a lot of faith in him because I loved his Star Trek and Super 8 was pretty good too. I find it great that they decided to give young talents a chance. Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and J.J. Abrams himself. And they all did a great job! No matter about my first expectations, the closer the release was, the more hyped I was!
Now, more about the movie itself. The effects are great! Star Wars is back and it has never looked so good! The characters are very well fleshed out and you really care about them. The score is beautiful as always. John Williams is a genius! The script is also very good and dialogues aren't cringeworthy like they used to be in the prequels. The combination of the old and the new is perfect and there is just enough nostalgia, but not too much.
Some people say plot is just a rehash of A New Hope, but there is also some of The Empire Strikes Back, and I'm perfectly fine with that. The only problem I have is that I feel like Disney marvelised it a little, and few times I felt like I'm watching Guardians of the Galaxy, but there still was that classic Star Wars feel too and one more thing that was very well done is that one big reveal at the end. So emotional and the beautiful score, oh my god! The only problem is that it ends too soon, but it totally leaves you waiting to see more.
While this wasn't the best Star Wars movie, it's a great new start for the series and I'm looking forward to the sequels and spin-offs!
