Not a Reboot nor a Remake - this is a Masterpiece!!

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2015)

The first film I ever saw was Star Wars, in 1977, I was 7 years old, my dad hated it , he didn't get it - this was before the multiplex , at a time when at the end of the film, you could stay in your seat and watch it again, a time when you had to queue round the block to actually get into the cinema, suffice to say it was a long time ago ,,,,,,,
Having been spoilt by my first exposure to cinema and all the memories it generated you could say Star Wars is immensely personal to me, which is why I felt my childhood had been raped when I watched the prequel movies and why I was hoping this series would put it right.....I wanted to see the Phantom Menace twice at the cinema because I HAD to make sure it was as bad as I thought it was on first viewing..........
Well , in short - they will, TFA is in my opinion simply the most tightly written, humorous , dramatic , fast paced action story that the Star Wars universe has ever produced.
There are no plot holes as people keep saying, just items not revealed until the next installments
It is not a remake, nor a reboot it is a NEW CONTINUATION of the story of a family line that are tied into a myth, and a story of how generations of a family in many ways repeat and in many ways differ - this is the basis of most drama ever written.
Sure it has some elements from the past films - but it's STAR WARS - it should have , it will have a big Death Star like weapon, it will have some light saber fights, it will have some spaceships and it will likely have a highly conflicted villain with a more than plausible back story that we will find out in depth later!
It seems people have nothing better to do than deride this movie and good luck to them.
STAR WARS is and should be about escaping to a familiar place that makes you better and Disney AND JJ ABRAMS have done exactly that
For the first time in 30 years , I am going to see a STAR WARS movie twice on consecutive days, I am going to do that because this film is everything it should have been, is better than all the other STAR WARS movies made so far , it is a joyful, sorrowful in places and wonderful reminder of what cinema is all about - it is quite frankly a MASTERPIECE.
