I thought JJ did an awesome job on the movie. The story was very much like the original star wars but I don't care, a good story is a good story. Visually the movie was great. The new aspects of the story were interesting. All the actors did a great job. I can't wait for another one to come out.
Awesome. If you grew up loving Star Wars. There's no way you won't be enthralled and giddy all over again.
I really enjoyed this movie. It was well acted, well filmed, and I loved the new hero's as much as I enjoyed the heartwarming return of our old favourites. Naturally, the movie left us hanging with many questions which will of course be answered in future episodes - assuming this will be a trilogy? The Force Awakens had so many memorable moments - scenes full of action, drama, humour, warmth, and one scene in particular which I certainly did NOT see coming. I look forward to watching this movie again, and enjoying it even more. It's been a long time since I've been to a movie where the audience has broken out into applause at the end. The Force Awakens met expectations and definitely left us wanting for more. Can't wait for the next one!
wow fun i like it
Boring and non-original. The villain acts a hysterical starlet, the new death star general just went through puberty. Both cry at least once. One star is for Han Solo - he still rocks. The movie doesn't make any sense and is not entertaining at all. I will boycott the rest.
Boring!! Nothing new. Just like watching episode 4. Added a new annoying character.
Pretty good with a very diverse cast. The performances overall was excellent and Harrison Ford is definitely the heart of the movie.
LOVED IT...felt like a kid again...cheered when I saw familiar faces and throwbacks to the original movies. Loved the story lines with both new and old characters. JJ Abrams did awesome directing this. The 3D was great for a first viewing of this movie and I will likely go see it again...and again...and again...when does the next one come out?!?!?
The mystery feels like it's back - much like a new hope. It makes you wonder what will happen to characters, and where the end leaves you, as well. I enjoyed it, because it has you guessing, and it takes big bold moves that seems like would only be read in a fan's fantasy script. That's mostly what I liked about it - is that it takes it in a direction that's daring. Non-sappy-happy.
Attack of the Clones is my favourite Star Wars but this comes pretty close.
