Rife with plot holes often interpreted as teasers for VIII and IX or references to comics, books and other media, which I thought the new characters were portrayed by the actors as well as the writers would allow, and therein lies the issue with this movie.

Review force awakens movie#
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a great movie while you eat it, but no so much when you digest it. Even the stormtroopers had a hard time taking him seriously (I love when they get out in the middle of Ren's tantrum). He came off as a whiny brat rather than an actual threat. Kylo Ren, on the other hand, is a pretty weak villain. Finn and Rey make a likeable team thanks to the chemistry between John Boyega and Daisy Ridley, but I would have liked to see more Poe Dameron. At least the movie is beautiful to look at and the actors are great (Lupita Nyongo and Max Von Sydow are criminally wasted though). Not to mention Abrams and Kasdan went overboard with the fan pandering references. How did Han and Leia's son became a sith? How did Luke's Skywalker's lightsaber end up in a box in a random cantina? (they literally say "a question for another time" for that one) Why is a map to his location lost in the middle of nowhere? Apparently we're just supposed to roll with those issues without questioning them. Abrams did a great job directing the hell out of a lazy script, which is basically a remake of A New Hope with lots of contrivances it never bothers to explain. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Accordingly, while no movie is perfect, it gets a 10 from me.

Episode VII is certainly a great indicator for things to come, leaving you craving more with its phenomenal ending and, even still, it provides a triumphant, hugely satisfying adventure on its own, realising my hopes as a fan, and surpassing them. And here we are, launched back into two and a half hours of sheer brilliance, with all of the magic, wit and fun which made the original trilogy what it was. How I’ve missed the magic of this galaxy, far, far away.

The Force Awakens is a sequel worth waiting 30 years for (and it is, make no mistake, the best Star Wars movie since at least 1983), with a stellar cast (Ridley and Driver shine, but every new and old face alike command the screen and so obviously want to be there, and that brings the whole thing to life) incredible direction and smart writing and stunning aliens, visuals, and great characters- all of which are so fresh and unique with the perfect blend of old and new it injects life into this universe sometimes just by aesthetic, with Chewie, Han and C390 still bringing the laugh, while new additions like BB-8 cement themselves as worthy, the quirky droid destined to be a fan favourite and loved as only two droids ever have been. But for everything that didn’t quite sit right- of which there aren’t many- there were a plethora of other things which Abrams and his crew perfectly hit the target with. All due respect and admiration to George Lucas for creating the Star Wars universe, but JJ Abrams truly seems to understand what made the originals so damn good better than Lucas himself- intrigue. In short, The Force Awakens is an enormous triumph, a return to the ways of the original trilogy, and, specifically, what made them so loved, and so good. All “This will begin to make things right.” So speaks Max Von Sydow in the first words of The Force Awakens and how appropriate that is. “This will begin to make things right.” So speaks Max Von Sydow in the first words of The Force Awakens and how appropriate that is.
