Star Wars: The Force Awakens

The whole theatre burst into spontaneous cheers several times, and the whole theatre completely went silent - people literally stopped chewing their popcorn - on numerous occasions.
Like you've probably already heard, the movie REALLY is a phenomenal throwback to the original trilogy, with an extra oomph and insane amounts of creativity and new found inspiration that will take the franchise to a whole new level.
The characters are three-dimensional, it's nowhere near as strictly black and white, good vs. evil like in most of the previous movies, and Adam Driver as Kylo Ren is the best example of that. Hands down, the best villian to appear in the Star Wars franchise other than Darth Vader.
Daisy Ridley & John Boyega are thrilling to watch, the old cast members, popping in during the movie were just as fun to watch.
J.J. Abrams and the writers somehow managed to create a plot that was very confined in space and time, yet they effortlessly captured the grand universe that is Star Wars with some pretty great throwbacks to the old trilogy plot-wise. Some might argue that it's lack of creativity and unnecessary repetition, but I thought it was a wonderful homage. It flowed naturally and there really was no dull moment.
Absolutely phenomenal. :)

My head is still exploding having just watched The Force Awakens in 3D IMAX. Absolutely awesome - one of the best cinema-going experiences I've ever had. Definitely the best Star Wars film in three decades, and maybe the best one ever. You'll laugh, cry and want to leap in the air. The new cast are all great, but when Han Solo and Chewie arrive it's like your childhood comes crashing into the present. Harrison Ford is one of the best things in this film.

Critics have complained that this film borrows too much from episode IV. I think it is more homage for the fans and doesn't bother me one iota. It may not be perfect but man is it FUN. It's a wonderful throwback to the original trilogy that recaptures the humour and fun so lacking from the prequels. Star Wars is back!

Disney have clearly learned from Marvel's successes and are doing some major world building here leaving many questions unanswered. Comic book movies are often rebooted and no-one complains but many other movies are considered sacrosanct. What JJ Abrams has done here is to produce BOTH a sequel and a reboot. It's inspired, and helpfully sets up a world of stories to explore in future movies.

This is just the beginning. Welcome to the Star Wars Cinematic Universe....

The Hope is Back! The Love is Back! The Faith is Back! The Anger is Back! The Shock is back! The Families are Back! Our collective childhood's and preteens and teenage is back. And finally, The Force is Back!.... To take us to a new and remarkable future!

Words can't describe how i'm feeling after seeing this movie, but i'll try it. Well, 10 years waiting for a new Star Wars movie, 33 waiting for a sequel of the original trilogy, what could we expect ? new characters ? the classic characters ? John Williams music ? beautiful visual effects ? a reboot/remake/sequel or what ?
YES ! there's all of it in Force Awakens. The feeling of nostalgia for the classic faces such as Solo, Chewie and Leia, and all that stuff we always loved such as that piece of junk called Millenium Falcon, there are a lot of references from the classic ones.
But, what i was really expecting was the fresh faces and the story and direction of J.J. Abrams, and god...... it was... PERFECT. The idea of bringing the classic characters to this story was great, but presenting us with these new characters was even better ! There's so much charisma and chemistry in those ones, Ridley, Boyega, Isaac, even the new droid BB-8 is such a lovely character, Maz Kanata, portrayed by the amazing Lupita Nyong'o, works as a new version of our Master Yoda.
About the new empire called as the First Order, i had my little regards, the main villain, Kylo Ren, is a good one, but can evolve much more on the next films, Captain Phasma, the chromed stormtrooper has some similarities with the classic bounty hunter Boba Fett, also can evolve much more, General Hux is a crazy dictator, the whole First Order and it's supreme leader Snoke, it has so much mystery.
Well... my last words about this film are: Definitely the best film of 2015 and the best Star Wars film since Empire Strikes Back. GO SEE IT ! 10/10

Literally the best movie of the whole series. And I'm qualified to say that because I was obsessed with the original 3 in the 90s. #yolo, my dudes. I know, you'll never recover, but it IS freaking amazing. #maythe4th

First time I watched it, I thought they ripped of and recycled the first original movie. Then I rewatched the original, and after just seeing "The Force Awakens", the effects and creatures in "A New Hope" suddenly looked dated. Afterwards I re-watched "The Force Awakens" and very much enjoyed it.

This is a great movie, a trip of nostalgia with balanced characters and lovely cinematography. Kudos to JJ Abrams.

A phenomenal sequel to the original trilogy and an amazing show of loyalty to the original cast, crew and filming techniques used 40 years ago. A refreshing surprise after the sidetracking Sith trilogy. 10/10
