Ignore the negative reviews. Star Wars is back

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2015)

I'm shocked by all the negative reviews on here. After watching the movie, I can assure you that this hate is unwarranted and blown out of proportion. 2015 has been a bit of a sore thumb for me with movies, there were a few that Iliked, but really not that many. This was such a breath of fresh air. Let me address the hate that the negative reviews are complaining about:
Same plot as episode IV - There is some homage to the first movie, it's definitely there, but the people saying this is just one big reboot are HIGHLY exaggerating things. There still new content, and honestly don't think the story will play out exactly like old movies once we hit episode VIII, this was kind of meant to be a revival of the franchise after the prequels damage.
Stormtroopers of different gender or race - Honestly I hate the whole forced diversity thing people add now in movies and shows. None of this felt forced, honestly I never thought it would be that uncommon if there was a female or black skinned stormtrooper. Never once did I feel they were trying to be "modern".
There is a lot more complaints I'm hearing, but really, these people are just trying to be negative, a lot of the them are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for them. Anyways, let's talk about all the good in this film. A lot of the things the prequels got wrong by have been fixed here, and yes, Jar Jar is not on this film. The acting is done very well, there aren't any moments were you'll go "wow, that was bad". The new special effects and set are a great combination of the old style with modern special effects that make this movie look stunning, they avoid the overuse of CGI that the prequels had. The characters have to be one of the highest point of the movie, we have old characters; Han, Chewie, Luke, and Leia, and it's great to see all their faces again. Then we have new characters; Rey, Finn, Poe, and the main at antagonist of the movie Kylo Ren; each character is fun and I would like to see more of them. I was worried that Kylo Ren might be a copy and paste of Darth Vadar, he thankfully wasn't, there are a few similarities but he is unique. Finn and Rey are both quite entertaining and never feel shoved in. I never felt that any of the other characters were one dimensional or were ripped off from somewhere else. Most of all, this film has heart, I know it might sound a bit corny but you could tell that the creators actually cared and wanted this to be a good movie. Is this film perfect? No, no film really is. But I have no major complaints about it either. I would love to talk more about it, but I don't want to spoil anything, I find this to be especially true with Star Wars movies and this one is no exception. It's the kind of thing you need to know as little as possible about to enjoy it more. Go see it, it's completely worth your time.
