New cast is strong in a decent Star Wars outing

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2015)

Force Awakens is a nice start for the Disney-era of Star Wars. Its not the greatest Star Wars movie ever made, but they put together a very solid nucleus of young actors to build the new trilogy on.
Daisy Ridley and John Boyega are the best parts about the movie. Their performances and chemistry are very fun to watch. You really root for these 2.
I also like Adam Driver's performance as the conflicted Kylo Ren. He is a tortured soul, and that comes across very well.
I liked what we saw from Oscar Isaac as well, though i hope we get more of him in future entries.
The plot kinda recycles old school Star Wars plot lines, but that isn't so bad. This is a good start for Disney.
