Great film despite the little flaws

Rating: 7/10 (7 January 2016)

First of all let me say that the reviews of 1 to 3 are people being way too critical; there is no point in all these little nit picks making your opinion so bad without even mentioning the good parts of the film. As always with reviews there will be slight spoilers but I'll try to keep them few and far in between.
The film for me was overall great, I felt slightly disappointed with some of it but all in all I enjoyed most of the film. The hero is a great character with depth and good acting and hopefully she performs even better in the next films. The only bad thing to say about her is that she learns to use the force way too quickly. Even if it is called The Force Awakens, I can't see something like the force being understood so quickly where others took years to even lift objects she uses advances techniques most Jedi didn't use. She can fight well enough with a lightsaber because of her history with her weapon whilst scavenging so her fighting was acceptable. The other 'good guy' had training even if he was just a glorifies bin man.
The evil guy was too angst ridden for my liking, he was too emotional and not really all that evil, I let this slide because he is so emotional torn between Darth Vader and his father and Luke's teachings. He was obviously quite powerful since he was able to torture his victims using the force in their heads. As for the final fight the guy was beaten simply because he was hit by a bowcaster. If one of those things can blow back a storm trooper 10 metres and instantly kill them yet only leaves Ren with a wound that seems to remind him how he can get over his pain, emotionally or physically.
The special effects were all very good and it was refreshing to see a film use a lot of location filming instead of all the green screen I'm used to by now. The fight scenes seemed well thought of and the seemingly bad choreography I think was to make up for the lack of experience and training however the space and sky battles were impressive.
After thinking of how to review this film my opinion definitely improved so I'd say those first watchers that have a bad opinion, either watch it again or really think about what about it you don't like.
