Again, the Hype is with them.

Rating: 4/10 (19 December 2015)

There were times during this movie I had to smile at the familiarity of things. However, overall this flick was a let down. Not only is Luke, Leia and Han back, so is the entire script. If you saw Episode 4 then you have pretty much seen Episode 7.
New Hope (lifted from the synopsis on this web site): Luke Skywalker joins forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a wookiee and two droids to save the universe from the Empire's world- destroying battle-station, while also attempting to rescue Princess Leia from the evil Darth Vader.
Substitute Empire with First Order and literally you can lift the old names and replace them with the new formula names. Still, keep the old names because you can give them a mention. Aside from Darth, they are all there (which reminds me, Darth's bad guy replacement leaves much to be desired. The force seems very weak in that one).
Though I considered a rating of less than 5 I decided it IS Star Wars after all. Besides, maybe I missed its main point that History repeats itself? It sure did here. Solid (though stale) story and solid production that contains elements of what made Star Wars great. Solid 5, which is to say you will wish you saw it on DVD.
I prefer a review not give away the movie but I am really tempted to write a Spoiler review. I had so many issues with this movie.
