I can gladly say that it exceeded my expectations!

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2015)

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is directed by J.J. Abrams and is the continuation of the original Star Wars films that were released back in the 1970s and 80s. The film takes place 30 years after Return of the Jedi and tells the story of a war between the dark and menacing First Order, against a small group of Resistance fighters.
The Force Awakens is my most anticipated movie of the year and of all time. I've been anticipating this movie ever since it got rumored. So I'm pleased to say that it is everything I wanted it to be. This was surprisingly for me the first time seeing a Star Wars film on the big screen. I got chills when the opening scroll started rolling. I was in awe with John Williams' score throughout the entire film. The acting was great and J.J. Abrams directing was excellent. Abrams used a lot of wide shots to show the action sequences, which was a smart thing to do. That is something that the prequels were lacking and a lot of action/adventure movies today. It was fun seeing the old cast back and all the little tit bits to the original films were fun as well. The new cast was amazing. The chemistry between to old and the new cast was so much fun. I also wasn't expecting the movie to be that funny. Although I've been praising this movie quite a lot. It isn't a perfect movie. My main issues rely on the fact that they use another type of death star. You'd think they would've found a more significant super weapon by now. My other issue I have with the film is this scene that takes place in the middle of the film. The scene includes these two giant CGI space-slug type creatures. They just felt artificial. I'm not going to deny that the scene was entertaining, it just didn't felt needed.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens isn't a perfect film. It has it's share of flaws, but it's the most fun I've had at the movies in a very long time.
