Started strong, but ended weak

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2015)

As a non star wars fan, I enjoyed watching every part of the movie. It was fun, humorous, good acting (for the most part), cool action sequences, and overall visually stunning. However, the film was basically a rehash of a new hope. It had a pretty obvious plot, and it contained many plot holes. The biggest gripe I had about this movie was kylo Ren. Adam driver did an amazing job portraying him, and I loved his angry and intimidating personality, but what I don't understand is the reason as to why kylo ren desires to become powerful. I just don't see any purpose behind his motive. It just seems to be all forced in order to make a plot. Also, I was expecting Luke to have a decent screen time in this movie, but I was disappointed. He showed up during the end of the movie for a 30 second screen time and he doesn't even have any dialogue. The movie was good, but it could've been better.
