A Wonderful Return To A Galaxy We Missed Dearly!

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2017)

The Force Awakens promised a lot and delivered more for both a first time Star Wars viewer or a die hard fan of the series.
This movie had all the ingredients of success right from the get go. A captivating opening crawl, fresh characters who were well written and well acted, humor for all ages, relatable heroes and villains, nostalgia moments, and an awesome soundtrack by the incomparable John Williams.
It was the first time in over 30 years where we had character development in a Star Wars movie that actually made you care about the heroes you were watching.
JJ Abrams had a very tough job in his attempt to basically reboot the series and wipe the terrible impression left by the Prequels on even the most loyal fans. Not only did he succeed, but he actually managed to surpass expectations while providing a perfect balance between old and new, taking big risks with the movie's villain and integrating the new cast with the established heroes.
You will care about the characters, you will care about the story, and the ending will leave you craving more while answering some of the most burning questions fans were asking, and at the same time, creating new mysteries and questions to explore in the future.
We missed THIS Star Wars, it's great to be back! Thanks JJ, you did it justice!
