I am speechless!

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2015)

Going into this film I was hyped out of my mind. As I was driving towards the theater I had a hard time containing my excitement and from the opening scrolling text started till the end credits rolled I had goosebumps! It's safe to say I was thoroughly satisfied with the result.
It introduced great new characters, justified comic relief and a dark side that had both the imminent threat, in the form of Kylo Ren and also the looming shadow in the form of Supreme Leader Snoke. The main actors performed satisfyingly and at times they outshone even the veterans on set. Carrie Fisher, even though she is definitely needed for the film, I would have asked where her character was if she had not been present, her performance is a bit below par. As in the old films her lines seems a bit forced but it really is a minor detail I easily can let slide. Other than this there really are no negative remarks I can comment on, maybe I notice more the second or third viewing but it's nothing I want to focus on. The best thing about The Force Awakens is, as with all Star Wars movies, the clash between good and evil. Kylo Ren is believable as a character even though I felt like his actor, Adam Driver, didn't have the proper looks, he convinced me with his acting and I changed my mind towards the end. Finn and Rey had great chemistry and were believable characters.
One thing I hope will make a bigger appearance in the next installments is one of the things the prequels really exceeded in, and that is the grandness of the worlds, sure we see three different planets in this movie, with a cameo of one other system, but we really don't get any real information about the planets. What the prequels did good was to really flesh out the planets the characters visited, like get a better look at Tatooine, Coruscant and Mustafaar. I hope to see this more in the coming movies.
In the end there really is nothing more i can say than that i was very happy with this entry to the Star Wars saga.
