The Legacy of Star Wars

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2015)

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is an excellent continuation of the classic Star Wars films we have grown up loving. The film is very character driven and this time follows the characters Finn (John Boyega) and Rey (Daisy Ridley) as well as the classic characters of Star Wars. All of the acting is superb! It showcases the perfect blend of new and old cast to tell a great well rounded story. Unlike most blockbusters these days, there was meaning behind the awesome action shown in the movie. The villain of the film: Kylo Ren, portrayed by Adam Driver, was menacing but at the same time very believable.
The new story combined with modern special effects really helped to pull the audience into the world of Star Wars. The movie did have a lot in common with the original storyline of Star Wars but in many ways this did not matter as the film was for the new and old generation of fans and movie goers alike. Overall, the film is a solid 8 out of 10 in my opinion because it has re-ignited the Star Wars we all know and love.
