Rating: 5/10 (18 December 2015)

Try to compare the dynamics between Anakin Skywalker and Lord Sidious, with Kylo Ren. When Sidious tries to pull Anakin into the dark side using his love for Padme, the emotional breakup and destruction of Anakin himself into becoming a Sith apprentice, Darth Vader. Compare that to this Kylo Rens act. This new Kylo Ren is something taken from the Harry Pothead movies. He wasn't a convincing Sith.
Revenge of the Sith and the whole Order 66 had a different feeling. My heart was broken. Anakin, the chosen one marching into the Jedi temple slaughtering the young lings. Clone troopers turning on their Jedi commander killing them all. THAT had a Star Wars feeling. I didn't understand the light saber duel between Kylo Ren, a full fledged Sith having a hard time against Finn, a former storm-trooper wielding a weapon swinging it like a moron. Couldn't he just force-grip Finns neck and break it?
And when Leia understood that Han solo was killed by their son Kylo Ren, why does she hug Rey and not even give a glance to Chewbacca?
No, this new release was at best 5/10. I don't know who to blame. It wasn't as dark as it should be, Who to blame? Disney? JJ Abrams? I don't know. The trailers had a darker feeling behind it, this was just a ripoff from the old movies. Another Star destroyer that needs to be stopped by the rebels.
To be honest, most of people giving this movie good reviews haven't probably read any of the Star Wars books.
What is done is done, I hope the next two movies will be much darker.
