This is what we needed!

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 2015)

Star Wars: The force awakens is what fans deserved. J.J. Abrams did and amazing work. Pays homage to the originals and kind of mocks the prequels, which I loved.
Stunning visual effects, amazing character development and chemistry between them, practical effects were on point, camera movements, Star Wars atmosphere, all those things blew my mind. Only thing that wasn't so great was the lazy plot and CGI characters that didn't really fit in among all those practical creatures.
The movie has this beautiful look that reminds me of the original trilogy but is also something new that I've never seen before. Scenery and backgrounds look like they are real and it makes you feel that you are a part of this adventure too. Visual and sound effects brought out the memories. They were just like in Originals but updated with today's technology. Character development was brilliant. Characters were not black and white. They had depth and were growing as characters throughout the movie. The new actors, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, were the best part about this movie. They did an excellent work. Camera movements were interesting. Instead of every Star wars movie, where the camera wasn't moving and the shots were boring and stationary, here we had interesting angles and immaculate movement. The movie pays a lot of homage to the Originals and has a lot brilliant references. The old characters (Han, Chewie, Leia, Luke, R2-D2 and C-3PO)were great and every scene with them. Now, the movie had it's flaws (every movie does). There are two major characters that were CGI/motion capture that didn't really fit in (Andy Serkis and Lupita Nyong'o). They were not horrible but not what you would expect from Andy Serkis who is known for his excellent motion captured performances. The plot is almost the same as New hope and Empire strikes back, but it is not a "remake" as some of the people say. A lot happens in the movie that is far different form anything we've already seen. What it seems to me is that this movie has made a great start of an awesome trilogy.
I personally loved this movie and can't wait to go see it again. Title crawl made me cry of joy and something made me cry of sadness. This movie and its greatness belongs to the originals and it makes prequels even more of a garbage. Every true Star wars fan will go see it and will love it by the time episode 8 and 9 come out. To anyone who hasn't seen it I hope you enjoy and have a great time!
