Great movie with a real Star Wars feel

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2016)

If you're in any way in love with the original trilogy and like me grew up on it, then I urge you to go see this movie!
Forget that the storyline and plot are VERY similar to A New Hope, enjoy the performances and appearances of previous much loved characters and embrace the amazing performances of the new blood set for stardom! Both Finn & Rey are brilliant!
I loved the revival of the Millennium Falcon and that Rey is so bada$$ and can take care of herself, I'm bored with the whole damsel in distress tripe. BB-8 is one of my favourite characters too, the whole struggle of whether to not tell Rey about Finn scene on board the Falcon was one of my highlights, including the "thumbs up".
The only downside for me was that Kylo Ren/Ben wasn't dark enough or formidable enough for a Star Wars villain, more like a stroppy teenager, but then Luke was a bit like that on Degaba with Yoda I guess...
