Decent, but lacks suspense

Rating: 6/10 (16 December 2016)

I didn't really expect much because of Force Awakens, I just wanted to see some lightsabers. Didn't even get much of that...
It's the same story as A New Hope... seriously. I was rolling my eyes, it's almost identical in plot. I wouldn't have minded that if they actually tried to make any characters, instead they just had bodies on the screen repeating the script. The acting was good and the production value is high, but I just didn't care about anyone. The robot had more character than the living beings.
Not sure why they hate developing characters in movies now, probably because the mindless masses like their special fx and things blowing up. I don't even remember most of the movie because I was so bored and dying to check my cellphone for messages. There's no suspense involved, and the cliché ending probably has people falling all over themselves to get a Darth Vader doll for Christmas.
I liked the FX, I liked the sets, but I don't even know any of the characters names. Don't care either, next star wars movie I'm waiting for Netflix.
