Something something Remake something

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2015)

OK..I have given this a high score and it should be less but damn I loved it.
I'm a big fan of the original star wars films (episodes 4/5/6) and absolutely hated episodes 1/2/3, er ma gawd they were terrible. Shame on you Lucas SHAME!! Now that being said I went into this movie hoping for an improvement to the devastation that we previously got hit with.
I was not disappointed.
Star Wars The Force Awakens is A New Hope remake. There's no getting away from that. Its Episode 4 redone all over. Which is the main bad point about the film. So story wise you can see whats coming, there isn't any real surprises. The thing is it's a remake that is extremely well done. It's done so well in every area. It is nostalgia overload too which I enjoyed. Goosebumps galore.
The cast were great, the new characters are great actors and highly likable. Within minutes you care about them and enjoy they're scenes (special mention to Oscar Isaac,probably the coolest pilot in the galaxy, want more of him in the next 2 please) Also a female heroine is a welcome change to 6 movies with male jedi/sith fighting it out (Loved Daisy Ridley). And John Boyega is the new Han which is something of a title to pick up but he did amazing.
The old favourites were excellent, Harrison Ford stole the movie with chewy.
Only negative I have about the cast is the bad guys really. Snoke was CGI and that sucked by the way. CGI always sucks. Heh Hollywood listen up CGI SUCKS! like watching a cartoon. Emperor was far superior in every scene even back in those rubbish episodes 1/2/3 (looking at you Lucas! SHAME!!) Kylo Ren was decent..liked his temper tantrums. Was compared to what Anakin Skywalker should have been but sadly we got Hayden Christensen's version which was really poor. Captain Phasma I can only guess will appear in future movies and play a more important part(fingers crossed). Also should mention the comedy in this film happened at the right times and was delivered perfectly..No cheese allowed. Well done J.J.Abrams, you showed Lucas how to do comedy (bloody Jar jar Binks, what were you thinking Lucas?! SHAME!!)
Look go see this film for an enjoyable Sci-Fi walk down memory lane. You go in with the right frame of mind and you'l walk out happy that you went.
And remember this..It's miles way better than episodes 1/2/3 SHAME ON YOU LUCAS SHAME!!!!!
