Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) by Jon Z — 31 May 2018

Remember Star Wars, A New Hope? Me too. This movie is essentially a retelling of that story with newer effects and a different cast. So many parallels can be drawn between the two movies that if it didn't have the words Star Wars in the title, I would say it was a blatant rip off of the first film.

I am happy that it wasn't a complete failure, the movie is fun and action packed. Full of rich visuals and plenty of bang for your buck, its just nothing new. It adds little in the way of inventive story telling and is just okay.
