A great return to the Star Wars universe

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2015)

The film entertained me from beginning to end. Although not perfect I feel I can forgive the misgivings that I have. The new characters all fit in well. The moments of humour were well placed. There were a couple of lightsaber moments that I thought were too graphic. My concern before seeing the film was that the story would be too unoriginal. And it is. I was surprised by how much it repeats what has been done before. Personally I forgive it because I feel it sets it up for the movies to follow. I was hoping the film would not finish where it did. It is an annoying ending. But one that makes me want to know what is going to happen next. Hopefully the story will now move on from what has gone before.
