Nothing new/Very predictable

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2015)

As a standalone film this is a 6-6.5 max.Since we know it's the first part of a trilogy then I'm giving it a 7.
Negatives: - predictable plot.too much stuff we've already seen in the original trilogy - Rey as a strong female character who somehow without any training whatsoever manages to perform mind tricks and engage(and win) in light saber fights with a much stronger opponent who was actually trained by the "Supreme Leader"and by Luke Skywalker.I have nothing against strong female characters but after Furiosa:Fury Road and the Female Ghostbusters this is a bit too much "in your face" for me. -the chance of Han Solo running into Rey and Finn by accident in such a vast Universe is 1500000000000000000000:1(them being in his stolen millennium falcon is even more improbable) -when they ask how the light saber ended up in that chest the answer is pretty much "no time for that sh*t right now f*ck you just take it" -there should have been a back story to Kylo Ren and why he hates his parents and worships Vader.We have no idea why he kills his father + a lot of other stuff that doesn't make any sense regarding Kylo and his struggle with the opposing sides of the force. -the use of cgi on 2-3 characters when all the others are not cgi. -no explanation why Finn is so special that he's the only Stormtrooper who wants to leave and be the good guy.
Positives: -the new cast was interesting and did a good job in my opinion -the humor was good for the most part -the villain is interesting and has depth though unfortunately that depth was not explored well if at all(that will hopefully happen in the sequels) -Harrison Ford -the visuals
The bottom line is that this movie was entertaining but left too many things unexplained.I really hope it's all part of the plan and that this was just a warm up for the sequels.
