A Real Star Wars Movie

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2016)

I know this, among many other reviews, will just find themselves lost in translation with thousands of others. But that wont deter me from conveying how simply awesome this movie was. It was truly a Star Wars movie. To have just enough fresh material meshed so fluidly with the old stuff everyone loves is really a masterful feat.
I've read countless reviews that say this movie has lost all heart and doesn't feel like a Star Wars movie but I have to ask, how? From glorious dogfights to scene stealing droids to gritty lightsaber battles this movie has everything I want in a Star Wars movie. And more! There are some real moments of raw emotion too that I think the Prequels tried to instill but just couldn't.
The plot is simple, but not too simple. The new characters had perfect chemistry with the old. The effects were even more mind blowing than the trailers led to me believe. Please don't even bother reading a negative review and see this spectacle for yourself.
