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. However, if you're able to turn your brain off and just enjoy the mindless ride of explosions and blaster shots, you might enjoy it. It's quite clear that this movie was made for the lowest common denominator, and thus is why the movie is doing so well. Overall, it's very lazy and intellectually boring. At least the prequels explored new territory in terms of story and lore this movie did not. "The Force Awakens," on the other hand, just sloppily cuts and pastes together different parts of the already existing Star Wars Expanded Universe (which is excellent, by the way) and Lucas' mythos in the Original Trilogy. "Star Wars" used to be a space opera with regal dialogue, fantastic musical themes, and a plot sticking to the traditional mythology of "the hero's journey" while being innovative in exciting new ways. "The Force Awakens," on the other hand, just sloppily cuts Very unoriginal and uninspired. Disney and Jar Jar Abrams ruined Star Wars! … Expand I paid $6 for matinee but probably won't watch it again. Stormtrooper guy Finn was out of place in the movie. Villain was weak and Kylo Ren could have been better if he never removed his mask! 7. Lame end with Luke and Rey stare at each other with no words spoken that sucked. He did poor job acting and looked like he did not even want to be in the movie! 5. Harrison Ford was a major letdown as Han Solo. Lame how Rey could fight better with a light saber and use force powers with no Jedi training! 4. Fake in that Rey could pilot the Falcon and fix it better than Solo with zero training or experience! 3. Complete rehash of Star Wars A New Hope Episode IV. I liked the new BB robot droid he was cool. Special effects and see new characters and old. I just saw it after reading all the negative reviews. 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.
