To be fair to George Lucas, his last three entries into the saga attempted to do something new, which is clearly not the case with Episode 7. However those movies were crippled with dialogue that no actor, no matter how good, could make sound good. This is where Abrams and Kasdan have been able to elevate the series - with great dialogue and brisk storytelling.… Expand

I'd like to address some of the common criticisms levelled at this film:

2) "Rey is overpowered."
I would suggest this is an entirely chauvinistic complaint. Also, She doesn't beat Ren at the end, it's a no score draw.
3) "Kylo Ren is too weak."
Yes, he is, and that's why he's a good villain.
4) "It's trying to be politically correct."
If you have this opinion, it tells me all I need to know about you, and it immediately negates your right to be listened to.

On leaving the cinema having just seen this I felt mixed emotions.

It was thrilling to imagineOn leaving the cinema having just seen this I felt mixed emotions. Luke Skywalker was my hero as a kid and hearing that Mark Hammill would be reprising the iconic role was what got me back on board with Star Wars. It was thrilling to imagine the return of my all time favourite movie character. I imagined how powerful he must have become over the 30 year break between films and predicted scenes of Luke kicking serious butt as the most potent Jedi of all. I wanted to see Luke fulfill his potential. And as anyone who has seen the film will know.....that didn't quite happen. To say the least. And I was majorly gutted he didn't get a scene with Han - what a wasted opportunity I thought. The film scored a 6 or 7 for me.
Then, watching the movie a second time, the treatment of Luke made more sense. He was being portrayed as a mythical character, a legend and an enigma. Luke metaphorically stood above all the other characters in the film, he had become something other - worldly. By just giving him that single moment Abrams and Kasdan elevated the character. And as my initial disappointment wore off, it made me even more intrigued, even more in awe of him. A brave move I feel on the part of the film makers.… Expand

I'mThe head says 7, but the heart says 10. To be brutally honest there are aspects of the Force Awakens that irritated me - primarily, I felt that Rey's journey of learning the ways of the Force could have been handled much more gracefully. I'm actually not sure what JJ was thinking when he decided to have an untrained Rey do a Jedi mind trick on Daniel Craig. And it often steers just a little bit too close to Ep IV for comfort, particularly in the Resistance briefing room scene with the new Death Star. But I'm going to score this film based on the overall experience, and the emotions it left me with. And on that count, its an easy 10. It certainly pressed all the right buttons as far as I was concerned.… Expand

JJ Abrams has a gift for getting the most from his performers and its the performances that are the strong point of The Force Awakens - star making turns from the new leads, a wonderfully creative take on the traditional Star Wars villain by Adam Driver and triumphant returns from the O.T, cast. The story moves briskly but the emotional beats hit hard and the action is as good as you'll see.… Expand

I enjoyed this very much. The focus appears to have been to create an entertaining movie that can appeal to everyone, of all ages, genders, not just Star Wars fans, and it is a massive success on that respect.

Like, how can the Millenium Falcon fly in atmosphere, it has no aerodynamic qualities at all, no flaps or rudders, but no one ever complained about that? I cant actually believe people use this as a criticsm of this film. Starkiller is great, and while I'm on, I like Snoke as well. He's creepy and a good design. Voice by Serkis is good.

The story is amazing, it's quite obvious that J.J Abrams grew up with Star Wars and it shows in this film. A lot of effort was put in to make this as good as the films from the original trilogy from the practical effects and real sets you can see how much the crew and production team at Disney care about what they are bringing up to the table. To say that I loved this movie would be an understatement as this is the best film in Disney's line up for 2015 and to say the least, it's a masterpiece!… Expand

All the old cast does a great job and the use of practical FX are great. The only problem I have with this movie is StarKiller Base. Even though the name is awesome it's basically a third Death Star which is getting old. Also the Rathtars weren't that great but no movie is without flaws.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. STAR WARS LE REVEIL DE LA FORCE
Les Amis je veux le revoir avec vous encore!! Tellement c'est du génie!!!

-Un film de JJ.ABRAMS l'un de mes réalisateurs préférés !! Réalisateur de Star Trek; Star Trek Into Darkness; super 8; mission: impossible III; Lost, les disparus; le scénario de Frindge... JJ.ABRAMS est un passionné du temps, de l'espace et de lumière. Ses trois principes se retrouvent toujours dans toutes ces productions!

-POUR CONCLURE !! SANS SPOIL !!
Ce n'est pas un film FAN SERVICE Abrams à su prendre l'essence même de Star Wars pour en faire quelque chose de meilleurs donc que vous aimer ou pas Star Wars ce film est fait pour vous la prélogie n'ai pas une obligation d’être vu !!!!!!! ;)
Les base sont poser à quand le prochain ??? !!! ;

-Star Wars est pour moi une série de films qui a changé les standards du cinéma. Ils sont, a eux seuls révolutionner le monde de la science-fiction (au niveau cinéma). Il y a Jadice 38 ans (Star Wars, épisode IV :Un nouvel espoir) à révolutionner le cinéma en intégrant des triches ou technologies comme les monstrueux vaisseaux impériaux reproduit à échelle raisonnable qui accrocher par des câbles parcoure, devant un écran bleu. Mais cessons de parler du "PASSER", mais parlons du "PRÉSENT" avec cette STAR WARS 7

-Dés sa scène d'introduction est imposer un grand respect, une excellente maîtrise de se qui nous a toujours fait plaisir dans Star Wars. [spoiler] Les robots [/spoiler] , les angles de vue qui nous font perdre l'orientation, les lumières, les déguisements, les planètes, les vaisseaux...(j'en passe tellement et des meilleurs)je n'oublie pas non plus l'UNIVERS. Nous retrouvons [spoiler] un semblable de R2D2 appelé BB8, [/spoiler] la encore les blagues sont si nombreuse... Il a été fait pour vraiment nous faire rire. Son design est tout à fait surprenant ce qui permet de lui faire faire des choses totalement improbables. Nous découvrons énormément [spoiler] de nouveaux monde, races, créature, mimique [/spoiler] En découle une histoire qui se dévoile lentement mais surement. L'intrigue est bien gardée, les personnages se dévoilent au fur et à mesure que les effets spéciaux se multiplient sans accro. Une Décadence de l'univers est remarquée. [spoiler] Nous passons d'un environnement chaud, désertique aux couleurs orangées où se désine tristesse et pauvreté ou notre regard se pose. À un environnement plus sombre (car on en apprend plus) mais vert et plein d'espoir. Pour terminer dans l'obscur blanc, froid et sans couleur car tout espoir disparaît lors du déroulement d'une bataille sans piter fait rage (remarquer le travail des lumières). Puis on retourne dans un environnement propre éclairé d'un ciel blanc (le blanc aurait la signification de terre pure) sur une île. [/spoiler] De multiples rebondissements qui ne m'ont pas choqué à la connaissance et l'analyse de toute la filmographie de ABRAMS. Mais suffisamment surprenante [spoiler] pour terminer par une scène tout à fait remarquable. Cette dernière scène ou nous voyons Luc et Rey sur une ile ou Rey tant sa main avec le sabre laser à Luc a ce moment le plan est filmé d'une prise de vue aérienne la terre ne bouge pas tandis ce que l'eau défile à l'écran ce qui indique que pour JJ le temps est liquide donc que le temps avance vite. J'imagine que le prochain épisode ne reprendra pas tout de suite après, mais quelques années plus tard....Entre nous tant mieux je ne veux pas la voire apprendre devenir jeudi George Lucas n'avait pas fait l'erreur donc ... Une 3D qui ne force pas seulement le respect, mais impose son nouveau standard Elle est tellement puissante !! (Coeur lège ne vous mettait pas au 1er rang). Alfonso Cuaron avec son "Gravity" vient d'être surpassé sur ce point. Des débordements d'image, une profondeur réglée au micron. Génère des batailles en vaisseaux Spatiaux digne des plus grands chefs d'oeuvre hollywoodiens. JE ME SUIS ÉCLATÉ !!!!! -Dans les défauts, car il y en a toujours
Je regrette que John Williams n'est était plus inspiré ;) Pour un prochain Star Wars je choisirai comme compositeur Michael Giachinno… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The latest installment of the "Skywalker Saga" has rather divided its viewers' opinions but as far as I am concerned, this movie brings my favourite franchise back to life in a wonderful way.
I must admit however that it is not a perfect movie. My biggest issues with it are the constant references to "A new hope" and obvious similarities regarding the plot. Furthermore, Supreme Leader Snoke and Maz Kanata do not look as good as the rest of the film, which was not really necessary.
Now to the pros: "The force awakens" stuns me with nearly every single shot, thanks to a very good mixture of practical effects and CGI. The costumes are splendid, the pacing very fast and John Williams' gorgeous music adds to the nostalgic atmosphere. The best thing about TFA is, without a doubt, its characters. Rey, Finn and BB-8 certainly build the heart of this movie. Their harmony is put so well on screen and I am intrigued, how their fates will evolve in Episodes 8 & 9. And of course, seeing Han Solo and Chewbacca regain possession of their Millennium Falcon, is simply breathtaking.
TFA leaves many questions and I am dying to see, how they will be answered.… Expand

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!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Force Awakens will be damaged in retrospective by the horrible The Last Jedi. Rian Johnson wanted to show with The Last Jedi how awesome and outstanding he is as a director and writer. Yes, he will go down in the history books, but not as an ingenious director, but as a director who has brought one of the most beloved franchise to fall. The genius of his subversive and with plotholes and stupid humor only so brimming film is that he has thus also damaged all previous films. If you've seen The Last Jedi, you'll never want to watch a Star Wars movie again. I hope Rian Johnson will NEVER come anywhere near a movie set, either as a director or as a writer. It would be a great relief for everyone! By the way: I liked The Force Awakens, it was a fine start for the new trilogy. Tragic, everything is ruined now!… Expand

I know a lot of people have complained about The Force Awakens, but I don't care. This film did everything I wanted it to do. Is there another Death Star-like base? Yeah, but I don't mind it.

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

That's a promise that is made early on the film and it delivers on that promise. We meet a whole bunch of interesting, three dimensional new characters with intriguing pasts and goals that the audience can easily be invested in. Some of the older cast members of the original trilogy reappear and prove that they have lost none of the charm that they had back in the late 70s-mid 80s. The plot is an homage to that of the original Star Wars film but distinguishes itself enough to be a refreshing adventure that older fans will geek out about and newer fans will fall in love with. A perfect example of how to bring a franchise back to its glory and introduce it to a brand new generation of moviegoers.… Expand
