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

Like many Star Wars fans, I've waited so long for a worthy sequel to Return Of The Jedi. We all thought that the prequels released between 1999-2005 would fill that void, but as we all learnt, those films are better off where they belong, very much In the past...

With The Force Awakens, JJ Abrams and the entire team that worked on this film have absolutely nailed it! I can't even begin to imagine the amount of pressure they must have felt to get this movie right and to satisfy the fans of what has become one of the most iconic movie franchises In the world, but I believe they have done the Star Wars universe some much needed justice.

The film itself manages to combine a great sense of old with the new. Han, Leia and Luke return yes, but Its the addition of the new characters as well as the old guards presence, that really brings the film to life and really makes you care about all the characters, not just the characters we have known, and grown to love over so many years.

The 146 minutes of viewing time flew past and not only am I eager to go and watch the film again, but I cannot wait for the next installment and to see where the future of Star Wars takes us...
