The Force Is Strong With This One

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2017)

As a die-hard Star Wars fan, I felt this movie birthed a new version of Star Wars. It was NOT like the prequels, but then again, it was NOT like the original trilogy- it was a beautiful combination of everything we've seen of Star Wars (with a bit of modern humor). This start to an epic trilogy is well on its way to becoming emotionally gripping, excitingly intense, and elegantly original.
Not only does Star Wars: The Force Awakens bring a homecoming to the eager fans who grew up with the original trilogy, it applies to the fans of the prequel trilogy, and also to a new generation of Star Wars fans- this movie applies to everyone who has a lust for great movie-making and classic storytelling innovation. The people who made this new installment have a love for Star Wars as do many, many fans. If you think about it, it IS fans that made this movie. Regardless of who funds the movie (Disney), they did an amazing job of appealing to all ages.
I encourage all TRUE Star Wars fans to discard the worthless negative reviews and develop your own opinion. The rants of "it's just A New Hope again" or "What a weak plot line" are irrelevant in context with what actually happens in the movie.
