Luke Skywalker, where were you buddy?

Rating: 5/10 (31 December 2015)

If you haven't seen any movies of the Star Wars saga, you probably are going to like it. It has beautiful places, costumes and special effects. Thumbs up for the overall costumes which have been very well revamped, especially the Storm Troopers.
If you did watch the previous episodes (especially IV, V & VI) and are a Star Wars enthusiast, you might be a bit disappointed. At least I was.
I see lots of arguments about whether this movie is a re-make or not.
But the bad part about this movie is actually maybe not the plot. But rather the cadence of the movie / the depth of the story. A lot of scenes happen way to fast where they actually should've taken more time for to actually appreciate the scenes more and to get more depth out of the story. Where other scenes happen way too slowly where there's actually no interest, or fake depth. Which gives an overall feel of a shallow story with no attachment to any of the characters. Which drives to the following :
Luke Skywalker, where were you buddy? we waited for you the entire movie
Rey (main character) is British Luke and Leia in one single person.
Finn is young black Han Solo with as best new buddy, Han Solo.
Kylo Ren, wining teen wannabe Darth Vader which reveals his real face way way way to soon. In the beginning he was cool and mysterious. His mask, saber-laser and outfit are awesome. But after revealing his face he was just this wining teen that can't even beat rookie Finn or Rey in a saber laser fight. And god, the scene where he killed Han Solo is an epic fail / bad acting / bad rip-off transformation of Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker's epic scene.
Maz Kanata, female Yoda?
Poe Dameron, Luke, Han & Lando morfen-time?!
Lor San Tekka - Obi Wan, is that you?
Captain Phasma - Like Boba Fet, you are very cool but pretty damn useless
The first 10 minutes is maybe the most original part of the film. The rest is mostly a modern powered on steroids mashup of the original franchise with reinvented wannabe characters.
Nice try but, I get it Disney : Let's bring the new generation to get into liking the franchise by doing some sort of interlude between the old films and what's going to come. A kind of mix which would supposedly appeal the old generation and the new ones.
Last but not least, yet another freaking Death Star to destroy, which is destroyed in the exact same way as the ones before. Come on, was it so difficult to design a new spaceship or plot to destroy it? Didn't the First Order learn anything from the Empire?
No way this movie is 8.6
