Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) by Basquilly — 10 Feb 2016

The Force Awakens is Star Wars reborn. In fact, I am of the opinion that it surpasses any of its predecessors. With acting performances far superior to anything seen in the Star Wars movies to date, this movie improves upon all the flaws of the original trilogy, while learning from the mistakes of the prequels.

It loses minor marks due to the similarities that can be drawn between this movie and A New Hope, which may be seen as a not so subtle attempt to appeal to the nostalgia of it's audience, but it pulls it off with style, and has so much more to offer.

Anyone who is reviewing this film negatively had decided they wouldn't like it before they even entered the theatre. This film boasts some of the best characters in the universe, a story arch to rival that of both previous trilogies, and far superior cinematography, direction, editing and special effects.
