Powerful Force of nostalgia

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2015)

The fans have waited for over three years to see this movie. They were praying for the creators not to destroy their childhood passion, again. Fortunately that did not happen and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is the perfect return to the original trilogy with plenty of action, humour and very interesting and eye-absorbing new characters. There is no spirit of Jar-Jar Binks in any of them and we are thankful.
I will not delve deeper into the plot to discuss what is going on in the movie, because plenty of You have already seen it, or will see it and I do not want to destroy the fun of experiencing the story for yourself. The action is set 30 years after the events in the "Return of the Jedi". The Empire has fallen, but its idea survived and a new vengeful power rises: the First Order. They spread their influences, but are strongly opposed by the rebellion under the command of General Leia Organa.
This is an action-packed movie with so much humorous interactions and dialogues that it would be categorised as the 'comedy' in the 'genre' section. The most comic lines are from the new 'Star Wars' characters: Finn, played by John Boyega, Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron and Rey, played by the debuting Daisy Ridley. They all play their parts very well and I have nothing to suggest them at the moment.
Some people may have some problem with the great resemblance to the 'New Hope' plot line and they are right, but let's not forget that the recurring and 'as father as son' moments were in the franchise for as long I can remember. Take the movie as it is - the epic adventure, with the new characters and the old ones. Enjoy the ride again in the Millennium Falcon.
