Star Wars Episode VII: A New Hope!

Rating: 3/10 (19 December 2015)

What a joke! J.J Abrams said in many interviews that he was going to focus on the story of StarWars by making it great. Yeah, sure J.J whatever. Instead the powers that be gave us a recycled and updated version of A New Hope! Another death star that was easily destroyable? Are they serious? Another Skywalker family member that is conflicted with the dark/light side of things? A father/son relationship? same locations as episode 4 & 5! What the heck are we watching here?
This movie is parody of Star Wars and nothing more. The Technology and everything else since The Return of The Jedi didn't seem to change much either. Its totally something I cant buy into because things from the last episode would have change dramatically since the Rebels destroyed the Empire entirely. Instead everything is practically the same. The storm troopers look pretty much the same, vehicles with a little bit of touch up, Han is even wearing the same clothes, rebels still the same, etc, etc, etc
The acting was okay. The actress that played the character Rey did a good enough job along with some of the others. However, Leia and Han did not seem to have the edge in this one. They both seemed too bland. Kylo Ren was NOT a bad ass either! He seemed to be a very immature and whiny boy when things didn't go his way. His true identity and roots were revealed way too soon!
Im sure Episode VIII will be called "Rise of The First Order" similar to "Empire Strikes Back" There seems to be a pattern here. The next episode/remake/reboot will no doubt follow the same formula as the Empire Strikes back.
