''There's been an awakening. Have you felt it? The Dark side, and the Light''
A long time ago, we found out that Disney would be taking us back to a galaxy far far away. This was a worry for me as a huge Star Wars fan. After all, we have been disappointed before, so I sat down to watch this with trepidation.
I have to say what I found for the next couple of hours was a poor story mixed with some action sequences.
I think J.J. Abrams has done a stellar job of staying true the originals but he has been let down by the script, that feeling you should get from watching a Star Wars movie at times is absent.
Daisy Ridley who plays Rey is amazing throughout, and I can see a great career ahead of this young star. She brings a certain mime quality to her acting, reminiscent of a much older thespian. Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher really help to link this movie to its previous chapters. I think this was important and definitively assisted in the end product. Chewbacca was great, massively assisted by modern technology, which brings me nicely to the 'negative side of the force'. John Boyega as Finn was out of his depth and this did, in my opinion, show on screen at times. Also Kylo Ren as the ''Vader'' of this picture was a little soft, though by the end I felt this was intentional. Finishing on more of a positive note, Oscar Isaac (as Poe Dameron) was once again on top form.
The Force Awakens gets a 6 out of 10. May the force be with you.
