The Force Awakens : The Awakening we've all been waiting for.

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2015)

Let me preface by saying, Thank you JJ.
The Force Awakens is an incredible Star Wars movie because it follows the code that Lucas brought to its franchise (and then destroyed) and brings the incredible balance between the old and the new. More than a sequel, this movie is a homage, a love letter from a fan to the fans. It follow beautifully Return of the Jedi giving us clue about what happened for 30 years in that galaxy far far away without telling too much. But this movie is also about amazing new characters : Poe, Finn and Rey shine throughout the entire movie, and it's so refreshing to finally see real acting. Some might say that the scenario is exactly the same as A New Hope : No. The scenario is inspired but brand new. We have new characters, a new purpose, a grand new story mixing the original trilogy and our new characters, and a movie that brings tons of questions in mind leading to this entire new trilogy. The similarities are no such things as "a poor copy" of Star Wars, but a real homage for a new beginning - The so long awakening we have all been waiting for since 1999.
