"The Force Awakens" reveals surprising connections, begins a few bromances, solves mysteries while digging up others, and sets a strong tone for what comes next in "Star Wars" lore. USA Today said it was a wonderful first film for the new franchise: Abrams has taken everything that we adore about that first film, delicately mixed up a few elements, and churned out a reverent homage that's a heck of a lot of fun to watch. Someone who can see more clearly than even its creator what made it so special to so many people.
REVIEWS FORCE AWAKENS MOVIE
It's a movie made by someone who loves "Star Wars" deeply. The Associated Press said fans will rejoice: Don’t get me wrong! There are many “serious” moments, it just threads that needle like a "Star Wars" movie should. "The Force Awakens" does not take itself too seriously and this is a good thing. Uproxx thought it was well done - and funny: Spoiler alert: The word "good" will crop up throughout this review, because it's the most accurate adjective for this Disney-owned product launch. But far better than "not bad." Solidly, confidently good. The Chicago Tribune said it was a solid movie, though it didn’t blow the critic out of the water: I’ll just say this: If you loved "Star Wars" once, everything you loved is back.
WIRED was plot-heavy in its review, but ultimately decided the movie was well worth the wait: You’ll cheer, you’ll chuckle, you’ll gasp, you’ll be giddy and you’ll maybe-likely-even shed a tear, or possibly two.

The "Star Wars" movies build myths on top of myths on top of myths, creating a universe where future legends are always nipping at the heels of established ones. It doesn’t just know that it’s operating in the long shadow of a classic it hardwires that understanding into its own DNA, making legacy a prevailing theme. Club liked the way the movie referenced the preceding films: There are many callbacks and nods to the original trilogy. It’s a lot of feel good fun while setting the stage for the next films. You catch up, reminisce, and go out on another crazy adventure together. The seventh installment in the saga, taking place 30 years after the events of “Return of the Jedi,” is like a giant reunion party with a group of best friends you haven’t seen in ages. Tech Insider called it “nostalgic” - in a good way:
