STAH WAHS FOSE AWAIKINS IS A MASTAPEECE
***WARNING CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS***
The newest addition to the Star Wars Saga, episode VII The Force Awakens directed by J.J. Abrams is a piece of art. Of course it has its flaws like any other movie. The movie Is far too similar to episode IV, A New Hope. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, nor is it a good thing. Many people were hoping for a brand new story like no other, but it does complement the original trilogy well. Kylo Ren is the main antagonist of this movie, and his main goal is to "Finish What [Darth Vader] Started" and he does so to an extent. Basically until the star killer space station is destroyed. Which is one of the main reasons it is too similar to episode IV. The good guys are established, bad guys are established, then the plot is established and accomplished. Which as a formula is very good, but it could have been executed much better. But the cinematography was executed excellently. The shots and special effects are a perfect mix of CGI and real world effects.
The return of ex-protagonists Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Now General Leia (Carrie Fisher) and even Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) provides much fan service and great plot structure. There are many other easter eggs pointing to the previous films which I think work great in the plot of this movie. Along with new characters Rey, and Finn (Daisy Ridley and John Boyega respectively) are a perfect mix of main protagonists for the new film. Now let me address the elephant in the room, the Death of Han Solo. There are very many mixed feelings about this event, but it is for the greater good of the plot. He is killed by his son, Ben Solo, better known as Kylo Ren, a knight of Ren. Although it saddened many hardcore fans of Solo and starwars in general, it paves a straight path towards an outstanding plot.
You never get bored when watching this movie, whether or not you are a star wars fan. The action sequences were lined up with perfection and would always keep you on the edge of your seat.
The movie is excellent, it is a movie I would watch many more times to come. So much that in fact that after watching the force awakens, I went home re-watched the previous films in chronological order and then went back to the theater and re watched the Force Awakens just because I wanted to.
I would rate this movie a solid 8.5/10
The movie was excellent but I believe the cons of character like Luke, and Captain Phasma getting little screen time affected the overall rating and the similarity to episode IV.
