Likes : MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU !!!!! First of all im gonna be honest im a huge star wars fan always have been since the age of 8 when i first watch the original star wars movie, although the first three film phantom menace,attack of the clone & revenge of the sith were to over driven with to much c.g.i, im happy to say that they didn't repeat that same mistake with force awakens.
The acting is pretty solid special from Daisy Ridley playing the character Rey, her performance complete stole the lime light of the film, which is great as she reveals some interest things with her character as the story progresses.
John Boyega also dose a great job with this character Finn, although i was expecting more from his character it didn't feel as if he was the main focus of the film which is a shame.Oscar Isaac portraying the best fighter pilot which his character really dosent shows off he just come across as the best as you will see in this film. Adam Driver come's off pretty well as Kylo Ren with some pretty revealing story subplot of who he actually is in the film, which leads to a pretty bold move from disney put this one scene in the film which actually shocked me but felt to soon to happen this early in the new trilogy of film's (those that have watched the film will know what i mean).
It was good to see the old favourite characters like Han sole (Harrison Ford) , Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) R2-D2 (Kenny Baker) Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) return for a few short scenes, some scene were funny.
As for the film visual effect vast improvement over what was done with 1,2,3 films of stars using more prop effect & less c.g.i which yes this film dose have but not over bearing which actually helps the film.
Dislikes : Sadly this film wasnt all that great, dont get me wrong the acting was great, the visual effect are great, its leads to the next film well, but this film was lacking in so many way's in storyline.
This is what a feared from disney when they brought the franchise, it didn't feel like star wars, its like that take the essence of what star wars was out of it just made the film in a different direction.
What i mean by that is instead of following where return of jedi left off it skips a go 40 years on which comes off really bad in the story, it felt rushed there wasn't much character development happening.
Special with Kylo Ren his character felt rush nn the writing for the character, he supposed to be the villain of the film he just dont come off on screen with that villain presence like darth vader did, he come off as this weaker version which didn't sell the character at all. i feel more could have been done John Boyega character than the way it was done in the film, there was a missed opportunity for a character development. Which sadly the only person hold up the film was Daisy Ridley with her performance, i feel this film could have been done better it just felt like disney milking the franchise instead of it being a wow factor film it could of been.
Overall : Great acting, great visual effect story is a bit meh!!! not the greatest star wars film but still entertaining
