Well it was good. Ranked 3rd on the Star wars movies. and one of the best action/Sci-Fi movies in the last 5 or so years ;) crushing records from the first day .

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 2015)

The movie is not the best star wars movie ever ,, so people should just chill out a little .. to me it is the 3rd best star war movie so far after "The Empire Strikes Back" and "A New Hope",
The prequels still have the best light-saber duels, Which is the branded unique signature for "star wars" but here the light-saber duels did not rise to the occasion, as i really expected more jumps and acrobatic moves to add more Action, But !! The Force Awakens appears magical with its use of practical effects, explosions all around the galaxy ,, and all the new creatures and the new BB-8 robot .. yet again "no Jar Jar Binks" :D and to make another note which i really loved is they kept the simple effect "power point like" of moving between scenes .. that was classic and still is ;)
To the new villains :: Still Darth Vader and the Emperor are the best and the most vicious ones .. but here maybe we haven't seen enough !! two movies are to be made so .. fingers crossed for more crazy evil characters.
now for the soundtracks >> Honestly !! haven't heard any "meaning they were not memorable" .. the classic theme song of Star wars was there and that was it for me .
So we said no Jar Jar Binks "poop gag funny", but the movie had more than a handful of witty, laugh-out-loud funny scenes which i really liked and engaged well with, whether it came from Han Solo or Finn.
Finally for the casting .. first i salute Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher for coming back and giving us the satisfaction of at least completing the story of our Original Heroes in the movie .. then there are Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac which were good but again if we keep comparing them to the originals it would be unjust to them and to our heroes and we'll arrive to no where, but i liked John Boyega's face and funny act it was fresh ;) . Then to Adam Driver which was good but again nowhere near Darth Vader (not forgetting to mention the connection with Han solo was good but kinda unoriginal idea).
And I'v read in some reviews that "It is a remake" .. will it is not .. yes the idea of destroying a new "bigger" Death Star is there and maybe just a couple of the other ideas (no spoilers) but In my opinion and based on what i saw it is follow up to the original story which to be continued and it is so understandable and easily linked to the previous 6 movies with even a much better graphics.
So over all , I enjoyed it and i really loved it and i can't wait for the next one to come out (as i'v heard it is a new trilogy) and Hoping the won't need 3 years to make it.
