Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) by Astria C — 17 Dec 2017
My first reaction to this film was crushing disappointment. The first new Star Wars movie in ages, and it's THIS?! Upon rewatching, and re-rewatching, and re-re-rewatching, I've finally concluded that it's not a bad movie, or a bad Star Wars movie, and that my expectations were simply too high for what is, ultimately, only a nostalgia-fueled proof-of-concept. That's all it tried to be, and that's what it succeeded at.
Bonus point for the marketing trolling everyone into thinking Finn would be the Jedi, but I don't hold out much hope for future Abrams-headed Star Wars entries.
