ReviewStarWarsTheForceAwakens

SincethelastreleaseofStarWarsin2005,nothingonthebigscreenhasbeenmadeforstar
wars(SomewouldarguenogoodStarWarsmoviehasbeensince1983).However,TheForce
Awakenshasreversedthattrendandofferedanamazingmovieonparwiththeoriginaltrilogy,
andfarbetterthantheprequels.

Oneofthebestthingaboutthemoviewastheacting.Whileyoucanargueaboutwhetherornot
thecharactersweregood,theywerecertainlywellacted.Forexample,KyloRenwasportrayed
byAdamDriver,andwasoneofthebestofthenewadditions.Additionally,Poewasagood
character,althoughhisrolewasunfortunatelyminimized.

Anothergoodthingaboutthemoviewastheminimaspecialeffects.Whileitstilllookedvery
good,itavoidedmuchoftheCGIthatcontributedtohowbadthePrequelswere.EvenBB8,
thedroidthethataccompaniedthemaincharacterswasamodel,notCGI.Thiscontributed
greatlytothemovieandhowgooditwas.

However,themoviedidhavesomeflaws.ThemostnotableofthesewasthefactthatRey,the
equivalentofLuke,isfarmoreskilledthansheshouldbewiththeforce.Duringthemovie,she

receivednotraining,butstillshouldtheabilitytofightKyloRenatrainedSithapprentice.This
isseverelyoverpoweringher,andmakesherstorylinesomewhatuninteresting.

Overall,themoviewasprettygood,butnotperfect,soIwouldrateitabout8outof10.
