Pretty much what I expected

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2015)

I've familiarized myself with JJ.Abrams' style of directing in the previous years and wasn't thrilled when I heard he'll be directing this movie. I also wasn't thrilled when I heard the rights for Star wars were sold to Disney. Still it's better than nothing, right? Right...anyway, the lack of George Lucas is very obvious. Say what you want about him, but that man is special, he brought something unique that was even in the prequels. That special ingredient is missing in this movie. It feels...generic. It feels exactly like a copy made by students, made with great love, but who would never reach the greatness of the master. Is it a bad movie? Certainly no. It has more than enough to keep you entertained. But I kept waiting for the moment when the real fun will begin. That moment didn't happen. Perhaps it's going to happen in the next movies. But I wanted so much more from this.
