Weak plot...

Rating: 3/10 (20 December 2015)

The Force Awakens is a good kids movie but it's not the redemption fans were waiting for. The story line is weak beyond belief. Abrahams has made a massive mistake with following up on a Solo-son story line to mirror Vader-Skywalker relationship. It will leave true Star Wars fans frowning with frustration. There are some nice little nods to the classic films which are overshadowed by a seriously weak script. The attempt at humour should of been avoided. Some moments were almost an homage to Benny Hill. My biggest gripe with the movie is that the characters representing the Darkside of the force seriously are poor in design, execution and presentation. The villain of the plot is no more than a hair dresser in a black leather outfit. Worst of all who is the that blue thing sitting on an oversized toilet? Where is the explanation??? Guys have we heard of a background story??? Fans will see the hairdresser facing off against our heroine Ray in a battle to the death. Ray doesn't need any training and takes out an apprentice of the Darkside without too much difficulty. How's this for a storyline...the Death Star was big but the Killer Death Star is BIGGER...yawn! Take tissues...it will have you in tears...tears of frustration!
