Feeling 9 years old again. (spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2015)

Yes. I get it some of the old fans are disappointed. The feel that to much things were to obvious. Fact is many of those fans didn't go to the first movie in 1977. The Force Awakens had one daunting task to begin with, bring back the magic. JJ Abrams delivered. The FA makes it painfully clear that although George Lucas came up with the best science fiction story ever didn't really get what made it good. Just because he could look at it from a healthy distance. If he would have all the technology of the 90ties available he would probably never had so much success. He is a creator great at imagining all of it. But all as not so good at portraying dialog and emotions. JJ Abrams was first fan. He could feel what made his heart beat faster. Therefore he could make the right decisions of what to put into the FA. I hear many complain about the plot but all of them are crazy about part 4,5 and 6. All of those plots are pretty thin and repetitive. If I would be really rude to those plots I could summarize them as: a battle between good and evil and at the end of the movie, good wins by destroying the death star. Everybody was fine with it. Of course good and bad also happened to be family but guess what that's also the case in 7. In fact this movie is the perfect sequel if you look at the pattern of 4 5 and 6. Each time a death star is destroyed the empire rebounds with a new bigger better and stronger weapon. It fits perfectly that the Republic opted for a death planet. Now everybody who complains about similarities in storyline do not include the possibilities that can evolve from the cast of characters and their backgrounds. The FA needed to serve the older fans but also the newbies. I think that 10 to 20 percent have not seen the part 4 5 and 6. For them nothing is familiar. Rey is awesome. She is a genuine believable strong female character. With a both muscular yet appealing physic. She displays the right kind of emotions. The fact that she learns to do the Force on her own isn't a bad thing for me. It fits her character. As a scavenger she is used to try and do things herself. She is not a Luke who was raised in the warmth of a family. It was for that reason that Luke was firstly a kid that was spoiled a bit and got through most of his time wining. Rey doesn't wine. She does what needs to be done on her own. Poe is basically the pilot that Han Solo was. Witty and full of himself. He has all the potential to be better than Han in terms of character. Finn is interesting because he is basically scared as can be but has the inner sense for justice and will fight for if it needs be. My gut feeling says that he has the force. What makes Kylo Ren so interesting is the level of instability. He is more mentally instable than most of the serial killers in any other movie. Which could lead to interesting developments in the sequels. Of course the sequels will have a more elaborate part for Luke who will most likely act as a mentor for Rey. JJ Abrams did an excellent job in reviving that good old feeling. I think now and only now the franchise is ready for more ingenious plot-twists. If he had done that now we would be lost in space ourselves.
