From both an action standpoint and absolutely from a comedy standpoint, The Force Awakens features highpoints for the series. While the set pieces may not have the dramatic stakes of blowing up the original Death Star or Luke fighting Vader, that doesn’t make the Millennium Falcon ducking through an old Star Destroyer any less exhilarating. Also, Force Awakens features some of the funniest moments of the series, and that’s including A New Hope, and those moments come usually because Abrams is willing to embrace a slightly more modern sensibility like having Finn say a particular line that I feel is destined to become a popular tattoo among nerds.
You go into a movie thinking the main character is the good guy and then BAM–you had it all wrong.
MAI Review (2024): Phuong Anh Dao and Tran Thanh sparkle the brighest in this overdramatic movie.
One of 2023's biggest and dumbest creature features is making waves right now on streaming around the world.
Wow, funny is a word I didn't expect to associate with Force Awakens, but then again, maybe a non-George Lucas directed endeavor helps in the humor department. Or maybe Harrison Ford does too.
