Lackluster

Rating: 5/10 (2 October 2017)

I was looking forward to a relaunch of the Star Wars franchise with episode 7 and I was interested in how Disney would go about it.
Unfortunately they played it very safe with the plot as it was pretty much a remake of episode 4.
Otherwise the story line was FULL of plot holes and some really cringe worthy dialogue. Beside the plot holes, the 'baddies' were you typical highly inept idiots we all came to expect, begging the question of how they even made it into a position of power in the first place.
If you are a fan of the franchise you will watch it just, because it is Star Wars and it has some decent scenes, but it leaves a lot to be desired.
Besides the rehashed story line, the inclusion of SJW elements to the franchise seemed forced.
Overall I found this to be the weakest episode in the franchise and a fairly poor showing. At least episode 1 (for all its flaws) had an original story line.
