The Star Wars Movie We've Been Waiting For

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2015)

Let me ask you this, after you watched Return of the Jedi...way back when...were you hoping that there would be another SEQUEL? A bunch of us did, but George Lucas gave us PREQUELS. Now don't get me wrong, the prequels have their flaws but do add to more depth to the Star Wars universe and got better towards the end. But The Force Awakens continues the legendary tale forward. We all wondered what might have happened after the empire was defeated...well now we know--sort of--I'm sure more will be revealed in the next sequel. But right now this movie is IT! This is the Star Wars sequel we've been waiting for! Less fancy CGI than the prequels, more action and even some comedy, and a good balance of nostalgia combined with the additon of new characters and moving the story forward. This movie respects the fans of the old Star Wars while forging ahead to create more new fans. It's awesome, best movie this Christmas season...so don't just sit there reading reviews...GO AND SEE IT!
