Okay, but over-rated by most – Report card review with spoilers

Rating: 5/10 (9 January 2016)

I'm not a Star Wars, Star Trek or Star Search super-fan. I'm old school, and I tend to gravitate towards more complex indie films over Hollywood blockbusters. But I had to see this film because I did enjoy a few of the early SW films in the 70s and early 80s. So here's my take:
Special Effects: A-
Scenery and Set: A
Plot: C- (standard good vs. evil...yawn)
Feminist Action Hero: A
Best Use of a Cigarette Lighter as a thumbs up: A+ (and this was one of maybe three LOLs for me; I had hoped for more clever humor than the film delivered)
Kissing: F (no lip-lock between long-separated former lovers Han and Leia because everyone knows that people over 55 don't kiss, and no lip-lock between Rey and Finn because, well, the producers apparently weren't sure if people of different races could be shown kissing in a 2015 PG-13 Disney film -- sigh...)
