Pretty good but not groundbreaking

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2015)

I've seen every starwars movie while it was in the cinemas and from the special edition releases onward, I've seen each one at a midnight opening screening. This one was no different.
I The Force Awakens, but it but it didn't really blow me away. I'd made a point of avoiding spoilers before seeing it but I still found a lot of it to be pretty predictable. Some parts of the plot seemed a little confusing too I thought. I couldn't really explain why I thought that without spoilers.
Anyway, I enjoyed it. Watching it again might make it grow on me more. After one viewing, not my favourite film in the series but a worthy addition.
