The light saber temper tantrums, the side punching, the conversations with Darth Vader's helmet, Kylo Ren is the perfect balance of emotional kid and pure bad-ass. We learn more about Kylo Ren's back story and personality in this one film than we do about Darth Vader in almost all of the original trilogy. As for Kylo Ren, aka Ben Solo, it was awesome to see such a complex character that has so many layers as the villain.

Part of what made these two characters so great was the on screen chemistry between them, something that the prequels failed to deliver with Anakin and Padme. Finn is equally as believable a character as Rey, and John Boyega's performance was spot on as well. It was fascinating to see a little inside the life of a storm trooper, something we never really saw in any of the previous films. The majority of the comic relief in this film comes from Finn, an ex storm trooper who encounters Rey in the desert after he crashes while trying to escape the First Order.

No other actor could have done a better job. Part of what made Rey such a believable, effective character was the spectacular acting performance by Daisy Ridley. But only towards the end of the film do we realize how powerful she truly is, and I am very excited to see what's in store for her in episodes 8 and 9. As the movie progresses, we see Rey begin to discover her powers with the force and how to use them. Rey has clearly endured many hardships throughout her life and yet somehow, she remains hopeful about her future and maintains a strong optimistic attitude. The story centers around Rey, an independent, resourceful scavenger on the planet Jakku. While it was great to see the original three back in action, and Harrison Ford gave another brilliant performance as Han Solo, the ones that really stole the show were the new characters.

For me, by far the best part of The Force Awakens were the characters. That being said, the action flows together perfectly and somehow manages to never feel rushed. The movie is very fast paced, with very few slow moments. Wildly entertaining, at no point during the film did I feel removed from the action, or that I was waiting for the next scene to happen. It is full of gorgeous visuals, memorable characters, and genuinely funny lines but above all, it truly felt like how a Star Wars movie should feel. It's the Star Wars film that we've been waiting for for 30 years, the film that the prequels failed to deliver. Star Wars The Force Awakens is a beautiful film.
