The old and the new unite

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2015)

Although I never really was a Star Wars fan, I thoroughly enjoyed the original movies in the seventies and eighties. Now more than thirty years later, the original cast is back with some new ones, and it's fantastic!
Unlike many other action blockbuster movies out there, this one doesn't rely on the cheesy one-liners and overtly slapstick humour. The script and direction are spot on, and CGI is used sparingly, thank goodness.
The new characters Rey, Finn and BB-8 are an amazing addition to the franchise, unlike the prequels. And when the old iconic favorites, Chewbacca, Han Solo and Leia come back in, it's simply magical.
Old and new fans will relish this.
