The Force Awakens is an expertly made film. Im going to have to watch it multiple times at the cinema.

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2015)

Star Wars:The Force Awakens is a fresh but familiar return to one of the most beloved cinema epics in history. The baton has been officially passed on to the new generation of characters because they steal the show.
Daisy Ridley as Rey is the perfect casting choice. She is both believable and entertaining. I feel like I'm watching a real person instead of a made up character. Jon Boyega and Oscars Isaac's characters have some of the best chemistry I've ever seen. They are funny, lovable and you find yourself rooting for the characters.
The original cast make a return but are not just there for nostalgic purposes but are actual characters. The banter between Han and Chewie is like meeting up with an old friend.
Now the plot may be quite familiar with it taking inspiration from a mix of the original trilogy but isn't this what we wanted? When the prequels came out people complained about them being too dissimilar to the originals and now people are complaining about episode VII being too similar. JJ Abrams wanted to be safe when creating a new star wars story lone so he used familiar plot points. However, what people seem to be missing is that the characters and where the film makers can go with them are a lot more interesting. They are actual people that we can empathize with and therefore the emotional aspects of this film and later films will hit harder.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is beautifully constructed with amazing camera work, stunning music and sounds and above all, incredible actors playing interesting characters. It may not be the perfect movie, but I have a feeling that episode VIII will be. JJ Abrams has done an amazing job at bringing the Star Wars universe back to life and I commend him for it
