Kinda of similar to the original series but still very well-done!

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2016)

I am one of those people who did a Star Wars Marathon for the first time in their life and then watch the Force Awakens.Of course I had high expectations going into this film which were fulfilled.However I still feel like it had some flaws which I am going to dive into straight in.
What I liked: To my mind,the movie was gripping from the very beginning and when it ended I was sitting at the edge of my seat waiting for more.More specifically,the setting was great since it started with the "classic" beginning " a long time ago,in a galaxy far far away" which I believe had a very nostalgic feeling to a lot of people.It was like going back to the very start of this franchise.The effects eventually improved a lot since the last ones and the fight scenes with the lightsabers looked even more fantastic.Another thing that I would like to point out are some of those TWISTS!! Hell yeah!I would not see most of them coming which made me really glad.
What I didn't like: On the other hand,the only negative thing that I have to say about this movie was its resemblance to the original ones.In other words,we are again introduced to this "new" weapon which turned out to be another Death Star but of prodigious dimensions.At that point,I felt like they were recycling an idea over and over again.That's the only negative thing that I found about this film.
Overall I really enjoyed this movie but I still felt like it lacked a bit in plot (in terms of coming up with a new concept).Still,I am inclined to believe that it deserves the hype it is getting because Star wars is an undying worldwide phenomenon that will forever be in our hearts.
