Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2015)

Here's my review of the latest installment in the STAR WARS saga, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens or Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Yes, Episode VII, even though Revenge of the Sith was supposed to be the last STAR WARS theatrically released movie. Where do you go from here? Disney buys Lucasfilm, announces new trilogy, Episode VII is released. This is a 2015 film directed, written and produced by J.J Abrams (who directed Star Trek '09, Star Trek Into Darkness and M:I-III).
Now, the plot of this movie is this: The Force Awakens is set approximately 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, where the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire have become the Resistance and the First Order, respectively, and follows new leads Finn, Rey, and Poe Dameron alongside characters returning from previous Star Wars films and what do you know? They have to fight Kylo Ren, who is the leader of the First Order.
What I thought of this movie? I really, really enjoyed this movie. I'm going to keep this short and sweet because this movie will be released on Friday, but the acting was amazing. Harrison Ford as Han Solo, he's still amazing as this character and I was impressed. Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia was wonderful in the part as always in the original trilogy. It was great seeing Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2 (once again played by Peter Mayhew, Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker). The new characters are played by newcomer Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac. I liked the characters of Poe, Finn and Rey, they were amazing characters.
Nothing feels forced in this movie at all. Not even the direction and tone. J.J. Abrams did a wonderful job directing this film. The script is fantastic. Michael Ardnt, Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan all did a good job putting the movie's screenplay together. The visual effects are just brilliant, like I said, nothing feels forced. Some of the effects are practical, but there is not a whole use of CGI, which I appreciated. The score composed once again by John Williams was very awesome and I still get excited whenever I hear the Star Wars theme.
The action is insane. This movie had a $200 million dollar budget and knew how to use it and bring it to life on screen. You have the cool space battles on new planets, stormtroopers, even a scene where the Millennium Falcon is being chased by the other ships. There is some comedy in here and it was great. The ending, I don't want to spoil, but you have to see the movie to see what it is.
I forgot to mention Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker. I was a little worried that he was going to turn over and join the Dark Side, but I was amazed that he didn't. He's in this movie, but not that much. I hope he gets more screen time in Episode VIII, coming out in 2017, and in Episode IX, coming in 2019. Again, this movie was amazing. A masterpiece. One of my best films and most anticipated movies of this year that people said would suck, was amazing.
This movie was excellent and I had fun with this movie. I can't wait to see this movie again. Everything was amazing, but I do have a few nitpicks, but overall, I enjoyed this movie.
I know it's going to be plenty of people who's going to criticize this movie when it comes out, but I don't care. I thought I never say something like this, but I hope this movie makes over a billion dollars.
My rating: 10/10 - Epictastic, a masterpiece and an excellent return to the Star Wars movie franchise.
The Force Awakens is a definitive return to the epic Star Wars saga and fans will be pleased, but some fans will hate this movie.
