Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2015)

Its been 10 years since episode 3, and after waiting so long to see a Star Wars film that resembled episode 4.5.and 6 rather than the newer lot of ep. 1,2, and 3, as a Star Wars fan, my dream came true. The force has truly awaken with episode 7, and JJ Abraham as a fan boy of the series has steered the greatest film franchise ever back to its glory. I am going to try and keep this a spoiler free review because a lot did happen in episode 7, and I don't want to let the cat out of the bag for the true SW fans. But the nostigala feeling this film gave me was a high I wish I could chase forever. I was in awe seeing Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Chewie, and Lelia on the screen again. The film was paced so perfectly that the film was not even boring for a second, action, and drama was at its premium. The film almost finished at a blink of eye. While episode 7 is miles ahead of episode 1,2, and 3, its almost on par with episode 4.5 and 6. Which is bloody brilliant to say the least. But more on the analysis later.
Story wise (spoiler free hopefully) thirty years after defeating the Galactic Empire, Han Solo and his allies face a new threat from the evil Kylo Ren and his army of Stormtroopers. But the search for Luke Skywalker is also on who has been hiding for almost 20 years, and he is the last remaining Jedi.
Acting wise Harrison Ford as Han Solo was as charming as ever, and picked up were he left off with crazy, and superbly done brave antics. Peter Mayhew like Harrison Ford, is back at it with his lovable but also furious character Chewbacca, there chemistry together lights the screen up.John Bodega, as Fin is a character to look out for in the future SW films (he is a new addition), as his act is endearing, and he adds a good comic punch in the film.Oscar Isaac is good, but his character Poe didn't have much screen time, but one can tell he will be a main character in the future SW films. Adam Driver as the new villain Kylo Ren is a bit raw, but he is also very meaning on screen, and is a good follow up to Vader. But the actor who steals the show is Daisy Ridley as Rey, her vulnerable act is very heartening, but in the pre climax when she realizes her true powers, she overpowers everyone. Its a mind-blowing scene.
JJ Abraham has introduced new important character in the Star Wars film in the form of Fin, and Rey etc, as they are the main protagonists in the film, and he has must be applauded for coming up with such perfect characters that compliment the SW films perfectly. A great addition to SW family.The film was not CGI heavy at all but the VFX were superbly done, and even a Oscar can come it way for the well done visuals.The action was mind-blowing, and keeps one glued to there seats, especially the pre climax fight. The films pacing was brilliant, the film does not have a dull moment.JJ handled the characters of yore perfectly, and made sure the essence of Ep. 4,5 and 6 stayed in tact with them. He has proved his worth as a director of the SW films, and must be applauded. Episode 7 in short is perfect film for fans, I won't say much because I want to keep the film spoiler free, so I am not going into complete detail but I can almost guarantee fans will not be disappointed. Furthermore the films pre climax fight, and climax will leave you in awe, they are amazing scenes . The film will make you cry, laugh, and cheer for the proceedings that go on,on the screen. The scene where Han Solo, and Chewie are introduced again gave me goosebumps. The films only minus is the plot though very well done at times looks like a remake of ep 4, 5, and 6. The film lacked originality, and the background score of the old SW films was missed.
Overall fans can rejoice Star Wars is back, and episode 7 is almost near perfect, maybe even close to being a masterpiece for SW fans. So run to the theatres fans, but you don't need me to tell you that because most fans are watching the film as I write this. This film will break all box office record, and Avatar will seem like a joke a month from now, box office wise. Even if your not a fan, Episode 7 is the perfect Star Wars film to introduce yourself to the series (and get you addicted).Finally Star Wars is not a film for the fans of the series it a Religion, and the day the film releases its a holiday, so happy holiday to all fans!
4/5* or 8/10
