insulting

Rating: 4/10 (27 December 2015)

This is my first IMDb review I only did it for Star Wars. Man after seeing this movie I was insulted. I am a huge Star Wars fan so I was anticipating great things. Sadly this movie is bad for many reasons and nearly ruined Star Wars
Firstly there Is no soul to this film even the prequels had more heart. The characters are unlikable except Poe. For some reason Rey knows the force and is a lightsaber wielding bad ass without training. Finn is annoying Kylo is a whimpering buffoon after being set up as a excellent villain. The way he takes out Han is unforgivable and insulting. After seeing that I shook my head and said why? But the worst part of this film is when these kids take over the best parts of Star Wars and use them like their worthless toys. These include when they throw around Lukes lightsaber which is one of the most bad ass weapons in Sci Fi. No wonder Luke looks pi**ed at the end of the film. When they take over Han's ship, I felt sick in my stomach and wanted to leave the cinema. It's like taking your dad's keys to his car and driving it in this case Han wouldn't give that ship up. Also why is there a Nazi metaphor?
There are some positives though in the practical effects and the visuals. I thought the battles were good
In conclusion Abrams relies on too much of the OT and basically remakes it with many references and repetitive story lines. Just like Age of Ultron there are too many plot holes
At least Lucas had a vision for the prequels this movie lacks heart and vision which ultimately makes it unwatchable and boring setting up a huge clean up towards Episode 8. I understand this is a pilot in the new Disney franchise but it is poorly pulled off and unoriginal leaving me wondering why they sacked Lucas and Arndt
