"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" delivers on all fronts in terms of the cast and the story. The cinematography is stellar and perfectly captures the huge scope that "Star Wars" is known for. Truly, there is no "breakout performance" because every actor in this film puts on a top notch performance. Rey, played by Daisy Ridley, is without a doubt, the best female character in this film as well as one of the best to debut on screen in 2015. She is a strong and likable presence who contributes alot to the story as a whole. Finn, played by John Boyega, is a sympathetic turncoat for the rebellion that brings laughs but also brings a lot of regret and tragedy to his character. BB-8 is practically the cutest little comic relief of the whole movie. Before seeing this movie, I feared that he would end up as the "Jar-Jar Binks" of the movie but luckily, he was cool as he was hilarious.
The original cast of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill were as great and as convincing as they were 30 plus years ago but my favorite of all characters has to be Adam Driver's Kylo Ren. He is just a scary-ass dude in a nutshell! I mean, he is so volatile and so overpowered in this film that it makes me wonder who would win in a battle between him and Darth Vader. Not only that, but he also turns out to be a sad character who, in a way, has the same motivations as Rey and Finn.
"The Force" has truly been awaken in this latest entry to the "Star Wars" franchise. It tells a tale that is easy to follow but also serves as a cinematic metaphor for discovering your destiny, and finding you true calling in the unpredictable game of life. It's funny, suspenseful, nostalgic, tear-jerking and action-packed! This is a film I am definitely gonna watch again and again while its in theaters! "Stars Wars: the Force Awakens" gets a 5 out of 5!
Excellent review! I loved it too!!!!
