What were they thinking????

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2015)

The movie was wrong on so many levels, that it felt like watching a Rip-off of star wars episode 4.
The Flaws: 1. The cinematography was too movementy. Unlike the smoothness in the other ones.
2. No impactful soundtrack. I like JW, but this felt he missed out.
3. Lack of originality in the story. Death star... oops sorry death planet, done before and all. Hell! It makes the story lines of the games (like knights of the old republic 1-2, Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy - even shadow of the empire) and various novels feel like classic.
4. The fact that Rei defeated villain with no extensive(or even an hour) training.
5. R2D2's sudden awakening and conveniently having the rest of the map only at the climax.
6. The ending shot was way too fast. all the others had slow or no movement at all.
The Good: 1. Visual Quality. 2. Production and locations. 3. Visual effects 4. Action sequences 5. Acting
Overall, it was OK for one time viewing on the cinema. Fans before this one would be disappointed(and have been).
