Very good

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2016)

Nice plot, though perhaps a bit overly explosive. It showed disappointingly little of the Knights of Ren- even the trailers had more footage of them than the movie. It left few loose ends, though I find it a bit incredulous that the good guys are always successful in destroying superweapons in all the movies. Works well as a standalone film. I found the Rey-Ren duel at the end very satisfying. Solo's death was a bit weird, because I would not like for such a major character to die in the first film in the series. I also found Starkiller Base fascinating. Overly a suspenseful, exciting and captivating film, The Force Awakens will mostly not disappoint most film-goers.
