The Force Awakens - Review

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2015)

Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens is a much waited film by the Star Wars fans. The film brings back its old cast - Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fischer, and new cast like Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. Has the movie lived up to its hype and expectation? Oh yes it has.
Story: The story was pretty good as it has several elements that will take the viewers back to the original trilogy. The characters had the right blend of emotions, and also the vintage characters from the original trilogy were used well. However, there were certain areas where the film could get a bit draggy, but it can be forgiven
Direction: JJ Abrams has definitely taken this legendary franchise to the next level with Force Awakens. His direction truly has been amazing and not just focused on explosions and mind capturing visuals.
Cast: It is great to see Han Solo, Leia and Chewie back on the big screen once again. Daisy Ridley has done a fine job too. Kylo Ren did a good job, given his role.
Music: John Williams' famous Star Wars intro tune is always lifelong.
Overall, the film is a must watch and will surely please all the fans of the franchise.
