Star Wars The Force Awakens Movie Review

The Force is back. Big time. As the best Star Wars anything — film, TV show, video game, spinoff, what-have-you — in at least 32 years, Star Wars: The Force Awakens pumps new energy and life into a hallowed franchise in a way that both resurrects old pleasures and points in promising new directions. But whereas the fundamental touchstones of George Lucas' original creation remain, in director J.J. Abrams' hands there is a shift in tone that brings the material closer to the feel of a Steven Spielberg film. Specifically, into an Indiana Jones realm, which is mostly, but not entirely, to the good. Opening nearly everywhere in the world before Christmas, with China to follow in early January, Disney's debut as the new custodian of Lucas' baby looks to deliver nothing less than one of the two or three highest-grossing films of all time.
