A great film for all ages especially for those who love the originals.

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2015)

The original Star Wars trilogy had not been given a worthy follower due to George Lucas's Star Wars prequels failure to please audiences and a general failure for such a hyped and anticipated series of movies. The Force Awakens was given even more hype then the prequels and had great expectations to live up to because of th success of the originals and having to redeem the Star Wars franchise for the prequels.
I can say after seeing this film that it is no perfect movie, as no movie ever is, but boy does it live up to its expectations in such a huge way. J.J Abrams took the material he was given and absolutely nailed this film. The way he brought back the humour and adventure from the originals that the prequels lacked gave the audience one of the decades most exiting movies yet. Not only was the Humour and Adventure great in this film but the chemistry between Jon Boyagas Finn and Daisy Ridleys Rey was absolute eye candy following the wooden love story of Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portmans Anakin and Padme in the prequels. The two new characters were heavily criticized before the film but I believe they blew away all expectations as both characters felt right to be in a Star Wars film. The rest of the new introduced characters were also great inclusions in the film with characters like Kylo Ren, Poe Dameron and BB 8.
Despite all the great things about this film there are always going to be a few negatives to go with the huge amount of positives. My main issue with this film is it seems to much like the Original Star Wars movie. Some people would say that this is good and have this as a positive however I think that it takes points away from it solely on the film loosing a bit of originality. Also the new 'star base' is basically a new Death Star and after having two already I think that J.J could have thought of something new instead of bringing back a third Death Star.
All in all Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a great film and piece of storytelling and is going to be remembered as one of the good Star Wars films as it truly is a 'good' Star Wars film. What the film lacks in originality it makes up for in its action sequences, Characters and overall experience. I recommend this film to anyone and everyone and hope that everyone enjoys this film as much as I did.
