Steineded How sad is this?

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

tkbludis Star Wars the force awakens is probably the most anticipated film of all time. And it was amazing! A lot of people criticize the force awakens for being a retread of a new hope. But that doesn't mean it's a bad film all Star Wars movies are similar to each other. The new characters in this film are great. And I loved the return of Han, Leia, and Luke. Even though Luke was there for only 10 seconds. The movie also had a cool villain, Kylo Ren. He's a conflicted villain with an awesome character arc. The scene where he kills Han Solo was pretty emotional too. So the force awakens is a great film and it revived the franchise.

Evan Wessman (CinematicInceptions) I was a little hesitant to write this review. After all, it's not as if I'd be likely to say anything that hasn't already been said. I suppose I might be able to contribute something by commenting on Force Awakens in a post- Last Jedi context. I didn't think that this deserved all of the praise that it initially got. It was all of what we like about Star Wars in moderate amounts, but nothing spectacular. The Force was used almost shamelessly as a plot device here, which is at least one thing I think you can say that the Last Jedi did better since the Force is actually a point of conflict and debate. Overall, I would summarize it with this: Force Awakens didn't do anything especially wrong, but didn't have anything exceptionally good about it, while Last Jedi had some major flaws alongside some of the most amazing moments in any Star Wars movie.I'm trying to think of more things to say about this movie that won't sound totally redundant. I'm excited to dish out ten bucks to see Episode 9, but not for the anthologies. All things considered, Force Awakens did what it needed to and ensured that this generation of kids will also be obsessed with Star Wars. Overall Rating: 7.8/10

adw-95701 JJ Abrams has as many original ideas in his so-called brain as Donald trump has good economic or political ideas. terrible, really. The fact that they hired him to reboot Star Wars explains what the intention was. no new ideas, just make money on the cheap i.e. cheap actors paid as little as possible because they are not worth a cent and the script lifted from the old episodes. Can't think of much redeeming in the new Star Wars. The rebels that had won and restored the republic are now rebels again. Explanation? The same as the orphan ho who flies spaceships but is so poor she needs to steal scraps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dormesher-21565 Star Wars Force Awakens ReviewThis movie sees the returns of the my favourite franchise after years of waiting since the last film Revenge of the Sith and what a return to Star Wars it is this movie is brilliant and a great accomplishment in film making what JJ Abrams has achieved isn't just a great return to Star Wars but also a great return how they used to make films with real props and real on set locations and not everything is all about CGI.However this movie isn't perfect it does have is issues the big one being it is very similar to A New Hope with their basically being another Death Star in the form of Killer Base for them to destroy which makes it feel like the film makers played it safe and didn't try anything new unlike The Last Jedi which took the franchise in a bold and interesting direction. However, let's get to things that I love about this movie the acting in this movie is amazing especially Harrison Ford playing Han Solo one last time is just perfect and a great way to bring back an old character from the original trilogy and seeing the rest of the old cast is great like Carrie Fisher playing Princess Leia and R2 and C3PO coming back aswell it was very nostalgic for me as a fan of the original growing up. But it's not just the old characters that are great the new characters this film introduces are really interesting and really well written characters my favourites being Kylo Ren and Poe Dameron these two characters are great additions to this saga and both have brilliant stories and character moment. Kylo Ren is the most interesting villain that Star Wars has had since Darth Vader in my opinion the story of how he his always trying to prove himself not just to Snoke but to the memory of Vader is really interesting and makes a very complex villain also the twist about him being Han Solo and Leia son was a great twist and one I didn't see coming love the fact that his name Ben Solo harkening back to Ben Kenobi from the original trilogy and someone who was such a massive part of all their lives nice that he was remembered.Another character that was very interesting was Rey the main hero in this film and the new trilogy in this film she being called out by the force and the mystery behind who she is and how she can do it is handled very well in this one and her relationship with Han Solo in this was very well portrayed seemed as if Han had found someone he saw potential in and could pass everything on to after he lost Kylo Ren to the Dark Side. Rey also had some great moments in the film her fight with Ren at the end of the film was really well handled and looked more like a Lightsaber Duel from the old films rather than being choreographed like in the prequels im glad they went back to that style. Also the little moments in that fight scene are really what make it different from another in the franchise for example when Kylo Ren keeps punching his wounds to make himself more angry which in turn will make him more powerful because dark side works on anger was such a unique take on a lightsabre duel and something we have never seen on the big screen before only in some books.This movie is also surprisingly funny which is different for a Star Wars movie normally the humour doesn't work i.e Jar Jar Binks in the prequels but this movie balances the humour really well and adds to the characters in the movie it also uses its humour in its nostalgic moments for example when Rey says to Han that Millennium Falcon is the ship that made the Kessel Run in 14 Parsecs and he shouts 12 I got a big kick out of that being fan of the old films.The effects in this movie are incredible and the design of the creatures are wonderful and makes it feel more like the original trilogy I personally love the design of Mass Kanata great design and such a unique character.There is also a moment in this movie that is emotional something that for me hasn't really been a think in Star Wars. However the death of Han Solo was really well handled and really emotional especially the way Chewbecca reacts to losing his best friend was the best scene in the movie.The Ending to this movie is such a great cliff-hanger we finally see Luke Skywalker and Rey goes to pass him his Lightsaber and it cuts the music playing in this scene his just perfection and finally seeing Luke after all this time was nostalgic.Verdict 9/10 not a perfect star wars like the original 3 but very well done and seeing star wars come back after so long was such a great event and this starts a new era for the this Saga on that personally love and enjoy
