Star Wars: The Force Awakens
CHASE ***1/2
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has finally arrived and it was worth the wait. While it’s not the best "Star Wars" movie (that award goes to "The Empire Strikes Back"), I do think it is a great addition to the series. One of the things I think the filmmakers did very well was captured the feel of the original films. The action scenes were fun, it had a great sense of humor and the character drama is done really well. It is a bit disappointing, however, that they borrowed a little bit too much from the original movie. That being said, my favorite aspect of the movie, by far, is that the new characters are fantastic! I honestly believe we will remember these characters as fondly as those from the original trilogy. They include Finn, who is super entertaining, BB-8, who is charming and funny and Kylo Ren, who is a great villain that doesn’t feel like the rehash of Darth Vader that many feared. My personal favorite character is the female lead, Rey. She is smart, interesting, and has great emotional depth. I’m really satisfied with this movie and I cannot wait to watch the next episode.
