FUCK.
I laughed. I cried. I got genuine, bona-fide chills. I cheered. I wanted to leap in the air and hug every human, droid, and alien in the vicinity. STAR WARS isn't just back, but fully expanded and revitalized. It's a genuine spectacle with enough history and operatic energy to fill every STAR WARS fan with undiluted glee and vicious emotion.
I now believe in aliens, because JJ Abrams somehow convinced them to revive the essential spirit of the original STAR WARS trilogy. I don't know how you did it you crazy fuck, but somehow, this was everything that I wanted it to be and more.
Chewie, we're home.

first things first, BB-8 should be in every movie ever made. i understand that certain legal and logistical realities might make that difficult, but that's your problem. i'm sure disney's lawyers are perfectly reasonable people.
BB-8 is the best character in the whole fucking galaxy. omg what if he's a death star??? what if somewhere in space there's a GIANT BB-8 ADORABLE DEATH STAR??? save us, colin trevorrow, you're our only hope. honestly, i would have been much more on board with Ex Machina if it was a turing test with BB-8. i care about BB-8. i love BB-8. and that shit is *legal.* all those "if you can marry a man, what's to stop you from marrying a dog?"…

I've felt euphoria that I have never felt before. I laughed. I cried. I cheered. I have officially lived life. I will never forget this moment.
J.J. Abrams has created something truly special. Star Wars: The Force Awakens might just be the greatest theater experience I have ever had. I was on Cloud 9. Magic was happening before my eyes. J.J. Abrams, I cannot thank you enough.
Daisy Ridley...Daisy Ridley...DAISY RIDLEY! I am going to name my first-born daughter Rey. I am also going to marry Daisy Ridley. Don't try and stop me.
Finn is fucking man. The chemistry between him and Rey was phenomenal. You could tell John Boyega was so excited to be in this movie.

J.J. goes all fanboy and creates a Star Wars movie that appears to be ripped from a wet dream of a Jedi Sith Cosplay Fanatic. He gives us a fresh-face cast, brings back some old, and when I say old; I mean old; familiar faces, uses some practical effects, and tells a story that's quite Star Wars-esque. On paper, I should be dancing like a drunk Ewok, but I'm not quite ready to do the Jedi Boogie. Hell, I grew up on Star Wars. At least the original flicks. I'll gladly give the middle finger to the trilogy about Padmé Amidala's baby daddy's journey to the Dark Side. That's not my cup of tea. I have no clue why I…

"I know all about waiting. For my family. They'll be back, one day...."
This is when I broke down. The loss and aching emptiness. A world with no respect for beginnings and an environment with no evolution after the desolation of the past. A confused, sweltering galaxy held together by children of trauma, running away yet always trying to get conformed back into normalcy. The pinky, fading horizons lead to adventures of glowing hope; a fluid expanse of the laborous ruts of a post-war generation.
This is my Star Wars.

I want to start by saying this movie is absolutely awesome, it's easily among the top 3 Star Wars films ever made (in my opinion). The characters are good, likable and even somewhat personable, easy to relate to in some aspects. The visuals are outstanding, the CGI blends perfectly with the practical effects to create a stunning visual masterpiece that is worthy of the Star Wars name. The fights are absolutely awesome, and choreography for lightsaber duels is a good mixture of the slow pace of the OT and the fast pace of the PT. The First Order feels very much like the Empire from the EU, powerful and dangerous, a foe to be feared and rightly so.

Uuuund leider gibts Schwachstellen. Der Überfall auf das Dorf könnte besser inszeniert werden, das ist für Star Wars Niveau ein wenig wack. Warum Finn auf einmal so eskaliert ist auch nicht nachvollziehbar.
Just kidding, I love it! -

Awesome!!! Great characters, action and plenty of discovery for an old series. It is much better than the second trilogy films and a must see!

Exciting and sentimental, The Force Awakens adds some new flare to the Star Wars Saga, though where it falters is that it goes by too fast without being able to relate to these somewhat uninteresting new characters. Much of it feels like exposition and a set up for a trilogy, and a copycat of the original Star Wars. It doesn't always feel like classic Star Wars because of its fast paced nature, but its glorious moments and thrilling galactic visuals mostly make up for these faults. It leaves you wanting to see so much more.
