The best piece of fan service that i have seen.The new characters have kg of personality.

I'm going to put this whole review in spoiler tags.On one hand, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a slobberingly, passionately mirrored retelling of A New Hope sprinkled with bits of Empire and Jedi for good measure.
On the other hand, it's just a great, magical film.
Strong story, strong cast, strong dialogue, strong special effects. Die-hard fans will see some of the twists coming when some of those echoes of the past show up, but that doesn't make them less dramatic or meaningful.
Perhaps it's the 30 years of pent-up desire for a new, good Star Wars film, but it's a near-perfect Star Wars film. Sure, it has a few odd moments and not everything is fully-formed, but for some reason it's captivating, riveting and a hell of a lot of fun.
To call it entirely a remake or an echo isn't fair. JJ Abrams puts his own stamp on this film in a great way. New characters abound, and the plot definitely surprises you at times.
Clearly the film is setting things up for a new generation of characters, but they're characters you want to spend time with, just like the original.

Atavistic and hypocrite oratory as a tribute to old stars who have once indulged us. Senile abuse.Read more in French on La Saveur des goûts amers.

When they announced a new Star Trek movie I was very eager to see it - after the trailer I'd lost almost every interest.The truth lies somewhere in between :) Movie was better than I expected after seeing the trailer... some visually appealing scenes and some funny ones. Was enjoyable enough for me to watch it once. Not sure I'll watch it again.
BB-8 was absolutely cute and hilarious, though! :)

You could tell who for sure wasn't going to die based on ageism in casting of any new character. I felt like I was watching the 'selfie generation' version of Star Wars. Ok movie but I also don't see how it cost so much to make.aniforprez
Enjoyed it enough but the second half is just stuff happening? Like there's no logic or sense to half the stuff going on and there's just this sequence of events that plays out. Felt so idiotic. And it's literally just Fanservice: The Extravaganza. And Daisy Ridley is decent as Rey but nothing too great.7/10

I really enjoyed the movie. Some little parts concerned me like another Death Star,I hope to see Kylo Ren as a stronger vilain in the next episodes.
I really liked the use of more mechanic effects (or at least more convincing than generic CGI) than the prequels.
Now I just need to save some dollars to by the BB-8 droid.

This is the film I was really hoping for as a fan. I loved it from the opening till the end: I will watch it again really soon. The Force Awakens is a movie to enjoy over and over again for all generations of fans.Paravail
This movie completely redeems the franchise. Whatever damage the prequels did has been washed away a film that understands why Star Wars is so special to so many people.Argonath
I found it quite amusing actually and for me it would be the best Star Wars.Perhaps the only thing I didn't like is that both the girl and the boy know how to wield a lightsabre almost instantly.

"Hope is not lost today... it is found."Finally I was able to admire this highly anticipated feature film. Although, I wasn't waiting impatiently for this new episode, like so many millions of other Star Wars fans. I always have to think hard while trying to situate this Star Wars movie in the whole saga. All that prequel, sequel or semi-sequel mumbo jumbo isn't something I'm thrilled about. To be honest it annoys me immensely. When I was an 11-year-old boy I went to the theater, together with an uncle, to watch the very first Star Wars movie. Afterwards I came out of the theater totally flabbergasted. It just knocked me of my feet. This was, at that time, never seen in any previous movie and was quite impressive. Especially for a young boy like me. The following two sequels build further on these foundations and kept the magic around Star Wars alive.
The magic disappeared for me the moment Episode I (To be clear, not the very first movie, but the first movie in the complete saga) came out. Hopefully they won't release an episode situated even further in time, otherwise they have to renumber the whole shazam again. Don't get me wrong. Episode I wasn't bad looking! That would be a joke. I'm sure that 22 years after the first original film was made, the filming techniques and the creation of computer animations improved significantly. Not? So for me the package on its own was more stylish and impressive, but the content was soulless. I had such a "lets-think-up-yet-another-episode" feeling (and that feeling stayed the next two films). Commercially "The force Awakens" was a masterstroke. "Let's go back to the essence and the spirit of the first movie" the masterminds of Lucasfilm thought. Maybe "The Force" woke up in this film. In my eyes it's just a harmless pilot flame what's left.
R2D2, C3PO and Chewbacca stood the test of time well. The only ones who couldn't stop their aging process, are Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker. However, you can only see the latter for a few minutes. That's just to make sure there's room for some more sequels. And again, lets hope there won't be a prequel for this one, otherwise you can expect a Star Wars 4.2 and 5.2. However, I was wondering if the story, some events and the ultimate outcome hasn't been used before. Yes indeed. Just put the original film next to this version, and you'll soon find several analogies. And that even without a magnifying glass. It all looks well polished and stunning (the chase scene with Rey controlling the Millennium Falcon while being chased by two Tie Fighters, is breathtaking), but it had less impact on me as the very first film. I even knew when the famous phrase "May the force be with you" would be used. I think there's also a tiny, small "force" inside me!

I went in with very high expectations and the beginning was really cool but then the movie fell down. Remake of episode IV, no emotions, no hints about the past, horrible Lea, horrible Sith Lord and the Snooke guy is really a joke. Very Disney like! I really hope they deliver a far better sequel than this disappointing one.......MoutardedShroom
such a fun accumulation of recycled scenes and plotsShingwauk
I thought it was thrilling from beginning to end. It is fantasy and I have no need to over analyze the minutiae of the film. I say, just enjoy it.leodelgado01
I really loved this movie. Didn't think that Han Solo, Chewie and Leia slowed down the movie. Didn't think that Kylo Ren's family dinamics were forced at all, 'cause I got involved and even a bit emotional —and I thought he was amazing as a villain (and a character) —. I'm okay with the basic plot being A New Hope in some aspects, because it deserved it... see: this movie was so well made and had so much energy and great characters and great dialogue and everything that redoing some stuff from the original seems acceptable and even a good idea. If this movie was bad I'd be angry as Hell with it, but it isn't, so is fine.For me, of course, different people, different reactions.
