The Force has truly Awakened!!!!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2016)

J.J. Abrams delivers a near-perfect film, which truly personifies everything that made Star Wars such an amazing saga. The film pays its homage to the originals through its story, which shares many similarities to the original Star Wars: A New Hope. However, Star Wars: The Force Awakens never gets caught up in the Star Wars nostalgia as it introduces a lot of new elements that really help distinguish the film. It proves to be by far the funniest Star Wars movie yet, as all the jokes seem natural and don't impede on the overall tone of the movie. The movie also features stunning visuals as practical effects make their triumphant return to the Star Wars franchise. However, the best quality of Star Wars: The Force Awakens lies within its characters. Thanks to some fantastic casting, as well as great writing, Star Wars introduces new characters that may prove to be just as iconic as the originals. In conclusion, Star War: The Force Awakens brings the franchise roaring back to life, perfectly mixing the old with the new.
