Loved it. But most of it was nostalgia boner.

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2015)

the Force Awakens looks and feels more or less like a remake of the first original Star Wars. In a cinematic sense it was amazing, airborne fights were never this exciting in a star wars movie, light saber fights were never this cruel and threatening. It was an amazing experience overall. But the plot lacked so much, the story is more or less the same old star wars story; with a big weapon, pending doom and a last minute getaway. They could have incorporated the extended universe but has chosen to stay with the old gimmicks. I understand this if the movie was targeted to the new Star Wars fans, but with all the references to the old movies it feels like a fan service for the dedicated audience. Kylo Ren was a major plus. His youth, power and anger are all on the screen at all times. His conflict in mind with Han and Rey was brilliantly displayed (if not too obviously). I'm waiting to see how Rey's character is going to grow in the next movies, I have hopes that this series will be amazing.
