J. J. Abrams skillfully balance the old with the new!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2015)

We've been waiting for this moment for a lifetime and it has finally arrived. Did it live up to the hype? The answer is it truly depends. If you went into the show expecting to experience a film that revolutionizes the whole industry with its magical wonder, excitement and beautiful story you will be sorely disappointed. That is what the original trilogy did. You can't go back and to the same universe with the same characters and the same themes and expect to some how be blown away again like the originals don't exist.
With that being said if you went hoping to all things you hold dear that it would surpass the prequels you have absolutely nothing to fear. Of course that's not a hard thing to do, but thankfully it is true. This movie is better than all three combined. If you went into this movie hoping to return to the world you fell in love with a long time ago in a Galaxy far far away you will be very pleased with this movie. If you went into this movie hoping for an entertaining movie you will be happy with this movie.
So all in all, don't get ahead of yourself. Calm down and enjoy the film because "we're home"
