Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) by Keeperslaw — 18 Dec 2015

An absolute joy from the moment the iconic text crawl emblazons the screen, the energy flows through the entire audience, much like the Force itself would. Without spoiling a single aspect of the film, it gets back to it's original formula, an adventure, from beginning to end.

The score is more subtle than John Williams signature to this franchise, but the good kind of subtle, and gives you a fusion between sounds the beat through every second of Star Wars that we hold dear, blended with song that let's you know you're watching an Abbram's picture.

The writing it's amazing, and executed well by our newest additions to the franchise, and our old favourites. The action and visuals astound! Now, it isn't a perfect film, as some of the minor characters haven't been expanded upon in this outing, but you get the sense that this is just the beginning.

It's funny, heartwarming, and tear-jerking. This makes up for the most recent entries, of course I'm talking about the prequels. You really get the sense that everyone on-board gave their heart and soul to give us one of the most exciting entries in the Star Wars mythos.

I can't wait until Episode VIII arrives.
