I don't know what it is, but it just seems like the soul of the Star Wars universe is missing. There is an emptiness that was only emphasized by killing off one of the main characters. It was almost like the director knew something was missing, and had to do this dramatic stunt just to make a surprise/shocking ending to add some sort of life to this shallow film.

It's an empty shell trying to galvanize itself to something greater. If the next movie somehow (miraculously) pulls all of this together (and possibly brings the deceased character back to life) they might be able to continue the series. Otherwise, it's just another MockingJay imo.

The good news is, at least there is a story. Is it important enough to extend the series by three or four more films? It all depends on the next movie. If they blow it in the next film, it's over. In fact, they may actually kill the entire franchise if they pull another "Force Awakens". I feel like I've lost interest in the whole franchise after watching this attempt.

This may seem a little harsh, but I just watched the film, and I am expressing my first impressions precisely. The new younger characters are okay, but not even close to the caliber of Ford, Hamill, Fisher. Maybe it's a problem with what this generation produces and accepts (like Hunger games et al). Shallow is the best way to describe it. And, second-rate seems to be good enough for some evidently.

When I went to the Cinema to watch The Force Awakens and I was really excited for the comeback of Star Wars films and the result was great one of if not my favourite film with Daisy Ridley as Rey being good. And return of Han Solo unfortunately he died Which was a shock when I watched it at the Cinema but overall great film With a great plot with the 1st Order and the Resistance I really liked Adam Driver as Kylo Ren. With his awesome mask and he was a different kind of character that you don't tend to see in Star wars at the end I thought the bit with Luke Skywalker and was a let down as I hoped to see more of Luke but it was a very good film to watch.

Star Wars is back and in the best way possible! The new and the old cast are amazing ! I loved every second of it! One of my personal favorite movies of all time! I am very excited for the future of Star Wars.Such a phenomenal movie! The Force Awakens is definitely on my top ten.The force is very strong with this one!

They needed to introduce the series. I thought they did a wonderful job with the cast and the effects and the acting was really good. Can't wait to see what they have for episode eight! A great movie with a lot of great surprises! Great acting! Great story! been a huge fan of the Star Wars movies since 1984. Watched them gazillions of times of the years. I never noticed The Force Awakens being a remake of A New Hope. The whole plot is the mystery of Luke Skywalker!!! The people who are complaining are just looking for something to complain about, look cool and be an attention hoar. Star Wars The Force Awakens was wonderful. ---Yidioo
