A New Hope Remak...ish.. A New Hope for Movie Lovers

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2015)

First and the most important thing.. Ignore all the negative reviews from 40 years old geeks, nerds and fat-sos living a their parents basement.
This is a great restart for the Star Wars Saga. J.J. Abrams did a great job directing this movie. Everything that you would expect from a Star Wars movie, you can find it in the Force Awakens. I noticed a lot of negative reviews that I find absurd. This is NOT a remake of the first Star Wars movie. The directer intentionally made some scenes look exactly like the first Star Wars because he wanted to introduce the true Star Wars experience to the new generation of movie watchers. The plot looked similar but not identical. The movie offers the same experience of the first Star Wars back in 1977. To me, an old timer; I would agree that it brings back good memories. Nostalgic, yes thats the word. I wouldn't mind remaking (Not Remastering) the old Star Wars movies with adding great visuals, magnificent surround sound and great plot.
What to expect from a Star Wars movie? Here is the list :

Missing Jedi (check) - Two fellows of the dark side (check) - Space Junk Yards (check) - Child with a strong connection to the force (check) - Space Combat (check) - Father and Son messed up relationship (check) - Princess with casual looks (check) - Druids with feelings (check) - Indestructible Millennium Falcon (check) - Death Star (check) - Planets demise (check) - Excessive explosions (check) - Lightsaber duel (check) - Helpless Strom troopers (check) .. please fill me in if I forget something

I enjoyed this movie. You should watch it with 1 pound of butter popcorn. IMAX would be the best experience for this movie. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
I the reason I give this movie a 7/10 because of Kylo Ren. He does not have the same presence as Darth Vader did. I did not see him as man drawn to the dark side as much as I saw him a spoiled brat with anger issues. I can't believe a storm trooper with the force to live managed to face a Sith with a light saber and he managed to put a fight. I can't believe a Sith keep interrogating people by asking questions. You ARE a Sith, take what you want by FORCE. He stopped a laser bullet, but he can't defeat a little girl. He sensed Han Solo from miles, but failed to sense him from feet's. For crying out load, he looked ridiculous without his helmet.
Aside from the negatives, I recommend it and it is great.
