Is there another Death Star-like base? Yeah, but I don't mind it. After the (first two) prequels, I believe it was the right choice to give us something familiar before going off to do something very different. Even when that happens, people STILL like to complain. The Force Awakens is full of fantastic effects, rich character personalities and development, and a great introduction to a great new future. Expand

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens

Even though being of 136 minutes, there hardly is a minute where you will wander off the movie; this is JJ Abrams at its best after Star Trek: Into Darkness. The sense of urgency is the key to this masterpiece where all the characters (whether it be new or familiar ones) with all the throwbacks and some perfectly mesmerizing scenes that can only be imagined in a fanboy's dream is executed with all the devotion.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just saw The Last Jedi. It retroactively RUINS The Force Awakens. No explanation is given for Rey's powers in TLJ and she only becomes more powerful. I wrote the below before TLJ. But now the whole new trilogy has been made into garbage. Thanks Rian Johnson for destroying Star Wars.

Both TFA and Rogue One are great movies. I give The Force Awakens a 10 and Rogue One a 9, only because TFA enjoys the benefit of Han Solo. Harrison Ford does a fantastic job. 25 years ago, if anyone had told me one of the very best Star Wars films, in which Han Solo would figure prominently, would be released in 2015, I would have suggested they lay off the sauce. For me, One element that makes this film work so well is the instinctive empathy and compassion of Rey, it permeates everything she does even while she is at the same time as hard as nails, and the moral determination of Finn. Finn for all his bumbling machismo, is someone you admire for his unerring and moral compass. Even Solo, wizened by years, is driven to his own best moment by compassion. And it is all delivered in the context of a thrill ride of an action movie that never stops. There's nothing message-like about it. It is baked into the characters and drama. They all embody the light side by their actions more than Obi Wan ever did by talking about it.

Even though in trying to measure objectively I place this behind The Empire Strikes Back, I have actually enjoyed it personally more than any other Star Wars film - maybe because its very existence seems so improbable, maybe because it is heartening in late middle age to see Han Solo roughing up aliens and pirates in his mid-70s, maybe because Daisy Ridley is just such an excellent actress, or maybe because I know this is just the start and that there are at least 5 more films to come. It is like the Star Wars universe was dead and gone and has now been brought gloriously back to life. I've seen The Force Awakens twice. The first time in 2D. Second time in 3D. My recommendation. See it in 3D! There was one moment when the tip of a star destroyer hovering in space seemed to be about to bump my nose!

Han Solo and Rey dominate. They carry TFA on their shoulders. Han kicks azz - I cannot express how great it was to see him back in action and featured so prominently. He's fantastic as old dude busting people up. Ford said he has no sentimentality for the character, but he burst the audiences hearts. Daisy is perfect. Whoever cast her deserves a bonus, and Daisy deserves to be a major star. Most importantly the characters interplay excellently. Rey's major moment brought tears to my eyes. The audience cheered. It was perfection.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Force Awakens is a good start to a new Star Wars trivia. I love the beautiful landscapes like Jakku and Takodana that remind me of the sets from A New Hope. I loved seeing the return of our favorite characters like Han Solo and Leia and seeing a new generation of heroes like Rey and Finn. I felt like there was a little too much humor (sometimes bad) that took away from the seriousness of Star Wars but there were very good moments like when Kylo killed Han (made me cry) and the final battle between Rey and Kylo. The music, as always, was amazing. Overall I would give it a 8.2. Expand

SW 7 is like a a super model, it's fun and pretty, but it lacks some meat. And seriously, i could stop here.

The story is inexistent, we have a so called new republic, but, what is it? 3 planets and a Fleet of a dozen spaceship. A group of extremist, hiding in an unknown sector, called 'the fisrt order' with a Supreme leader named 'Snoke'.
A group of rebels, named 'The resistance' who fight the first order and are leaded by Leia.

None of the characters are really detailled, they don't have motive, they don't have past or trauma.
None of the groups are detailled, we know the Resistance fight the first Order, but we don't knwo why. In SW4, we didn't knew all the backstory at first, but we had a lot more information. We knew their was an evil Empire that ruled the galaxy, that a group of rebels try to resist and the protagoist were well introduced. Luke is a yound adult who dream of becoming a pilot, he trained whenever he can. He has a motive to fight and follow obiwan, the Empire has killed all of his family (he also discover he is a Jedi). Han, obiwan, dark vador, leia, they all were finely introduced, even if we didn't know much of their past.

In the 7, i seriously don't know why Rey left Jakku, she could have found a hideout, and start over somewhere else on the planet. Finn want to flee, why? He is brainwashed and trained since his childhood, why do he want to flee? and why do he change his mind and start fighting back when he knew there is no hope to win ? Poe is useless, he has no past, no motive, he abandoned BB-8 and his mission in a heartbeat, is that a rebel hero ?
Kylo Ren is an angry child, he obey Snoke because. And why do he want to be the heir of dark vador ? Why can't he use the force when he fight? He's powerful but easily beaten by a coward and a young untrained force user... Is that an antagonist for a movie ? He is ridiculous ! He could have been so much better.

How, and why do they change the way light speed work? Seriously, you can go out of light speed near a planet now ? So, why didn't they used cargos full of explosives to destroy the starkiller, just send them waves after waves piloted by droids. Problem solved. And to destroy the other spaceship, just use the x-wings as a light speed missile. Ah, and the plan to find Luke... Seriously, a f*****g map with a 'road'... If you only have a part of that map, you can easily find that planet with another map of the galaxy. And even, if you don't have the exact planet, you can just send multiple team to search in the blank zone. I could go on, and on, but it need to stop, as this trilogy.

Ehhhh, I do love the new Characters that are introduced. In fact, the first half of this film is actually pretty fantastic the way it introduces all these new characters. And I Do think it was a great decision, and a very safe one, to basically do a sort of soft re-bootesc sequel to the original Star Wars film. But it lacks os much personality, it doesn't stand out, it is awfully bland. And on repeat watches, its clear to see that it's just trying its hardest to please the fans. Which is fine, but idk, the shots are awfully bland, cinematography is visually stock standard. Its okay. Not great. But okay. Also it does underuse a lot of the new characters, particular Poe. I kinda think, the best way to look at this starting point, is basically just an intro. Its alright, its passable, but hopefully as the album or series progresses it becomes much more dynamic and interesting. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SKIP TO THE END FOR REVIEW SUMMARY.

The Force Awakens has been touted as one of the best films in the Star Wars saga. Why? Because it's not the prequels. Unfortunately, it's just not that simple.

When it comes down to it, The Force Awakens is a complete rehash of Episode IV: A New Hope. A rebel gives something to a droid who travels across a desert planet and finds a Force-sensitive person. The person meets an old veteran of a previous war and they travel to the rebel base. They then destroy a planet-killing super weapon. The problem is, this time, the plot is held together by coincidences instead of purpose. The Force Awakens is well acted, with Harrison Ford as Han Solo being the standout. The main character, Rey, who has unimaginable power and is able to do anything throughout the entire film is not really interesting so former stormtrooper Finn and brash, angsty Kylo are left to pick up the slack.

Despite its flaws, Episode VII is an entertaining film -- it's just not necessarily one with a lot of depth. The visual effects are great and the soundtrack is, well...John Williams. Do I really need to say more? The problem with this film is J.J. Abrams played it much too safe and laid a poor foundation for The Last Jedi.

Overall, The Force Awakens is a fun film that suffers from a lack of originality and a retread of old material that relies a little too much on nostalgia.

Review was redone ahead of The Last Jedi.

I feel vindicated by The Last Jedi. Some had optimistically assumed that all of the open questions left by this film were by design, but it's now clear that the mystery box was empty all along.

This film is a remake of episode 4 and it isn't a real sequel.
Star Wars is George Lucas.
If there isn't George Lucas, there isn't Star Wars.

I am a fan of George's saga, not of Disney's saga.

Disney, you will not receive even a penny from me.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite the common complaint that the film mirrors A New Hope. This film also does many things right. Humanizing storm troopers was something unheard of in the main film series, and this movie pulled it off just right. Reintroducing elements from the original trilogy was handled well. Stopping a blaster shot in the air with the force was an incredible visual. The brutality of the light saber fight is also very realistic and entertaining. Overall plot left much to be desired.

Still, The Force Awakens is promising attempt, if you just divide it from its sequel. Not because a lot of original characters appear as a beautiful nostalgia moment, but because it has quite consisted plot and is full of mysteries, which, unfortunately, will never find their passion in the 8th installment.

I think the movie will hold up and bring a sense of nostalgia years to come (which will be like a nostalgia inception type deal) because of the stellar performance from most of the cast (Carrie Fisher's performance was a little stiff being the exception) and the visuals being true to the original three Star Wars films. I docked it a point because I felt like there were too many beats taken from 'A New Hope' but it didn't detract from my enjoying the film. With so many questions left on the table I can't wait to see the next entry in the saga. Expand

Ignored all of those collected works (from which it ought to have pulled inspiration) and instead created A New Hope again with a less plausible explanation of how we got here. I get it. I do. The books explain that the New Republic largely de-militarized and thus left the Resistence a rag-tag team of fringe fighters unequiped to identify the bigger badder death star being constructed... somewhere... and with... resources? But look. It's been 25 years since the battle of Jakku. Even if we are putting the galactic civil war on par with World War One and could therefore explain the second rise of a defeated super power in two decades, the rest of the galaxy would never, WOULD NEVER, plausibly have demilitarized as quickly as to have left a handful of ships in the hand of resistence fighters and gathered around only one system (which the starkiller promptly destroys). Never would a literal planet have had the opportunity to be constructed with all eyes on military development (especially that coming from the First Order being a remnant of the Empire). Even in WW2, historians agree the signs were all there that Germany was mounting a war time economy. Also, the other world powers were similarly still well equipped for combat arguably, even better equipped given the war time technologies like planes and radar and all that. To premise a film on blindly missing the remains of an evil war power constructing the exact same super weapon, but bigger, than before with an actual weaker flaw (just fly in and shoot some things no mega specific one in a million shot required) is insane. To see this come from Disney is inexcusable. They had the resources. They had the material. And what sucks the most is they had the actors (Rey and Finn and Kylo are all amazing). I'm writing this after the Last Jedi has come out because I had hoped that there would be some explanation. Like the StarForge (a device that could have arguably created the Starkiller base and fleet of star destroyers) could have been introduced and we could have all said oh, sure, that makes sense but no. We have this explanation that people just ignored them as the First Order became the dominant military force in the galaxy less than a century after one of the most wide spread conflicts in galactic history. I don't buy it. I wanted to like star wars. Hell I wanted to love star wars but this new series is an ambling, soulless imitation of Lucas's vision. I wish these movies had never been made and it makes me reconsider the Disney brand as a whole. There's do and do not, Disney tried. Disney Failed. Expand

It ads nothing worthwhile to the canon and it’s an insult to the expanded universe. The force awakens stretched the lore in an unnatural kind of way only to make it like a new hope. It only ruined the achievements of the previous trilogy. Han, a war hero, leaves his family to become a smuggler again; Leia doesn’t get trained in the force and sits around in a basement again; Luke, instead of forming a new Jedi order, fails to train Kylo properly and let the order get destroyed by him, becoming then a hermit on some hidden planet. The empire2.0 is back and for some reason its stronger than the new republic and had the resources to build a bigger death star. And instead of a strong republic to fight the new thread we get some puny rebels. And why are they called resistance anyways? It’s also stupid that about 30 years after the formation of the new republic they lazily kill the senate just to get rid of politics. It feels to much like the original trilogy and the new fractions could easily be swapped by the rebels or empire because they are almost the same. It would be forgivable for a standalone film, but not a sequel. It hurts the entire trilogy by creating a scenario like we already have seen before. Expand

I don't understand the over inflated score this movie has. I believe people want so bad this movie to be good and they turn into zealots because of this.

On short, this movie is beautiful visually. The acting is the best so far in the series and natural. The pace is steady and funny moments are well balanced. The sound is above average, mainly because it tends to become predictable in toward the end. If a movie would be defined by only by those things, this SW would be a solid 9, maybe even 10.

But its not. A movie is a visual novel. And the story is terrible, so terrible that I felt bad how dumb and force it was. The characters lack depth, and the inner conflicts are pathetically expressed on screen. They exist just to showcase fan favorite concepts and to form a narrative that is a remake of episode 4. At this chapter this movie is bellow Hanna Barbara level.

I rewatched this recently, what a mess it is. So many narrative holes:

- Why is the New Republic's army called "The Resistance"?
- How did the small remnant of the Empire manage to build a weapon much bigger and more powerful than the Death Star?
- Who is Rey? How can she exhibit full Jedi powers just a few hours after learning that the Force exists?
- Why did Luke run and hide, but leave an obnxiously coy trail of breadcrumbs to help find him?
- Who is Max von Sydow and why does he have the all-important map?
- Why are both sides so hot and bothered to find Luke? Yes he's a powerful Jedi, but he's still just one man, hardly the key to winning the war
- What exactly happened with Luke's Jedi academy?
- So Han has been looking for the Falcon for years, and then ACCIDENTALLY stumbles into it literally minutes after Rey flies it off Tatooine?
- Who is Snoke? If he's an old and powerful Sith lord why have we never heard of him before?
- How did Maz Kanata get Luke's lightsaber? Why does she leave it in a place where any rando can walk in and take it?
- How did Poe survive the crash and escape the wreckage without leaving any tracks IN THE MIDDLE OF A DESERT? Why did he abandon Finn in doing so?
- Why does fanatical soldier Captain Phasma agree to lower the Starkiller's shields just because someone waved a blaster in her face? Why would she even have the knowledge/access to be able do that singlehandedly?
- Why does Daisy Ridley think "acting" means "making googly eyes and letting your mouth hang open"? Why did no one teach her otherwise?

In short, it's a terrible movie that leans 100% on fanservice and pandering to the cheap seats, but totally fails on its own terms. Even worse than the prequels IMO, at least they took some narrative risks and tried to expand the franchise, even if they mostly screwed it up. Disney is just cranking out safe Happy Meal corporate product, what a slap in the face to true fans of Star Wars.

None of the plot follows logically the previous SW films, its obvious Disney is just rehashing the original trilogy to milk the franchise. Some solid character performances (Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren, etc).

Also if you know JJ Abrams and what he produces, you can imagine what this film is.
JJ Abrams takes amazing franchises, like the Star Trek franchise, and makes a visually impressive film (lots of boom boom, special effects, etc) hiding what is essentially crap in terms of substance (weak plot, weak writing, etc) and ruining franchises. This is a director essentially without creative drive. He shouldn't be a director. Some call him an "engineer" and not a creative, which I would agree with. He "engineers" great packages/films, he just doesnt create anything new.

In Force Awakens you have the superficial effects. Great lightsaber sounds, great lightsaber and blaster effects, great explosions, great flying sequences, etc. All better than anything Lucas made before. But hiding behind that is a crappy storyline that makes no sense, and essentially a huge spitting in the face of what Star Wars represent. It's hollywood at its finest: "Come come B movie crowd, pay for the ticket, buy the merchandise. Doesnt matter if we produce crap as long as it sells".

My only hope is the second and third film. That they somehow salvage this giant pile of *** *** and take a minimum of artistic risk.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star Wars the Force Awakens is amazing! Although the storyline is a bit like A New Hope and has some plot holes, it is the re-entrance to the franchise everyone needed. Rey is the main character and it took everyone by surprise when she became the jedi, not Finn. If you were hoping to see Luke Skywalker, get ready to be disappointed. Luke has no lines in the entire movie, but it is nice to really get to know the new characters. The entire movie has you sitting at the edge of your seats, waiting to see what happens next to our heroes. It is rated PG-13 due to the death of a certain character (I CRIED) and the intense battle scenes in general. But this is a very mild PG-13, and if you are a fan of the star wars trilogy, GO SEE IT. I gave this a 10/10 because this was not only the best possible thing that could have happened,but it was the first star wars movie I have ever seen in the cinema. And for those reasons, 10/10!

I would loved that some of the scenes didn't seem forced, but is something of the bad points on it, also it seems like some of the new IMPORTANT chaaracters do not have a path to follow or purpose to be involved on the storyline so we could say it's like they don't fit well. Despite this, those are problems that could be solved in the upcoming movies, so talking in long-terms this (and this new hole trilogy) can turn better than we are thinking. Expand

This movie has done what I thought would be impossible... It got me interested in Star Wars again. I had originally lost all interest in the franchise after watching the prequels.

I had originally lost all interest in the franchise after watching the prequels. This movie essentially copied many elements from "A New Hope", which in a sense makes it almost feel like a reboot for the series. This is basically Star Wars for a new generation of kids. Expand

An absolute abomination of a film, which not only doesn't give us anything remotely new & regurgitates things we've seen many times before, but also takes a big dump all over the Original trilogy in the process.

A woefully scary reflection of just how shallow & stupid Joe Casual has become, and how some folk gobble up anything with a brand name. Expand

Another killer to the original 3. Propaganda pushing trash. I really cant say much more. If you have any old core values from the times before this new age progressive ideology the world pushes now, you will despise this film.

In The Force Awakens, J.J. Abrams takes viewers back to the corner of the Star Wars galaxy that they left in 1983, with great new characters and thrilling action.

Abrams takes viewers back to the corner of the Star Wars galaxy that they left in 1983, with great new characters and thrilling action. It's familiar territory, for better or worse. More for the better, I think. The film is facing major criticism from some for being too similar to the original movie, but it doesn't bother me all that much. It does plenty of new things as well, and execution is key.

Rey is an immediately relatable protagonist, Kylo Ren is a more interesting villain than Darth Vader was in his first outing. Finn adds a layer to The Empire that wasn't there before. Returning characters are greatly utilized. I do hope the franchise goes in different directions with future sequels now that we're back into the swing of things, but The Force Awakens is still beautifully directed, full of heart, and so much fun to watch.

I'm a big Star Wars fan and watching this episode made me cringe inside every 10 minutes. Story is just revamped story from New Hope, The Big Baddie - Kylo Ren - is a wuss, not even possible to compare him to Darth Vader. Do not have big expectations after this one it's just another money grab. Star Wars saga ended after episode VI and Rouge One. Expand

Lazy writing on top of more lazy writing. The only reason this got the reception it did is because it carries the Star Wars name, which coincidentally happened to Phantom Menace too, and look how that movie is reviewed now.

I just watched it and I think the movie was quite mediocre... bad plot, bad dialogues, boring characters... the only good thing was the beauty of the main actress. It was at times even cringe worthy... such a pity what a dissapointment
