Back to what star wars should be.

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2015)

OK, so i'm going to start by saying "its not perfect"!!
yes there are some similarities to the original trilogy, but they are absolute classics that are impassable as the greatest films ever, so no matter how good this film had been, it would never have been as good. But it is the proper star wars film that everyone wanted "the phantom menace" to be.
The new characters are brilliantly played and there is an immediate liking and caring towards them, the old faces are back and are just as good, there are funny moments and there are nostalgic moments a plenty also. the film flows well and some of the shots created by J.J Abrams are stunning. the plot has holes (but so did the originals if you are honest) but who cares!! the film "feels" amazing, and as i said, it is a proper Star Wars film.
I left the cinema with the buzz and thrill that I wanted and would have happily gone straight back in to watch it again. The main problem that any major (especially a Star Wars) film that gets huge hype has, its that it cant then live up to it, I was expecting and hoping for this to be much better than any of the "average" at best prequels, and it exceeded my hopes easily.
GO AND SEE IT, YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!
