Aussie boy's thoughts
Although J.J. Abrams settles the Force back between an overly familiar construction, he does it in such a striking way to give the fans a breath of classic refreshment. The fact that it seems to be a lazy reboot of A New Hope is bringing everyone a fair amount of disappointment. However, every little to large element is completely fresh.
The Force Awakens introduces a brilliant new selection of appealing heroes and villains enrolled by Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver. Each of their performances are simply perfect and involve absolutely no flaw. There’s also the satisfying return of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, forming the conclusion that the characters, new and old, are strikingly unforgettable.
The direction is perfect, making almost every single moment an excellent piece of action-packed cinema. The special effects are also perfect, adding to the visual exhilaration and fast excitement. On the other hand, the writing is just fine. Alike every other Star Wars flick, not every scene is certain to compel you. A lot of the dialogue can also grow quite dull.
An underrated but understandable component in the writing that’s letting down a lot of fans is the structure of the writing. To be more specific, it does seem to be a remake of some previous Star Wars films. Thankfully, the refreshment makes it worth the adventure. If it weren’t mainly for the new characters, the seventh film in the beloved franchise would’ve been a total failure.
