Superb

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2015)

I am a Star Wars fan, especially of episodes 4, 5 & 6, but I am not an aficionado by any stretch of the imagination. That being said, I rate The Force Awakens 9 of 10 stars. The first 1/2 of the movie, when new characters were introduced and developed, was 10/10, the second half, which was a bit slower and a lot more like the older Star Wars movies (similar story line, etc.) I give 8/10. The special effects I thought were exceptional throughout the movie. The new young talent, particularly Finn and Rey were outstanding. Han Solo's and Chewbacca's roles were almost perfect. Definitely a movie I will watch again soon, and will buy on blu-ray when it comes out.
