Spoiler Alert - Disney and Abrams have Spoiled Star Wars

Rating: 1/10 (31 January 2016)

The dark side wins! This movie was so disappointing, so void of meaningful content, so vapid and so vacant of emotional connection...the force compelled me to create an IMDb account and give in to my true feelings online.
It must be stated that I had no expectations going into this movie. I realized that matching the depth of the original trilogy, filled with some of the greatest and most lovable heroes, and possibly the best villain ever created, was next to impossible. The original 3 represents one of the greatest 'good vs evil stories, AND one of the greatest 'triumph over insurmountable odds' stories, AND it was coupled with one of the greatest 'good turned bad turned good redemption' stories. How could anything live up to such enormous standards?
Well....they didn't even try. If Disney had advertised this movie as a franchise re-boot, there would be nothing to complain about, and it would simply be judged on its own merit (see opening statement). The real problem is....I was led to believe this was Episode 7...and naturally a continuation in time from Episode 6. Opportunity was ripe with all the things we could experience after decades had passed since the Empire fell, and sadly it still is, because absolutely nothing new of value was offered in this film.
I was going to go into great detail about all the plot holes, terrible casting/acting, awful script, pathetic attempts to ingratiate a new generation of fans to this drivel, and the complete rip off of the orig trilogy (with a few subtle details changed)....however, it makes me angry to think this deeply about the movie.
Suffice it to say....wannabe Darth is Han's sniveling son, Kylo. He wears a mask because he thinks the ghost of darth communicates the dark side to him through his burned skull that Kylo keeps in his apartment...(ummmm darth is no loner evil). Then Kylo kills Han...the only character with any depth worth watching in this movie!! Oh and...Anyone can beat a sith lord using a light-saber they have never heard of (let alone touched), and anyone can use jedi mind tricks without training if they belong to Luke's family. Oh and....the new emperor (named Snood or Groot or something) is some pathetic cgi alien who stole a projector from the wizard of oz and uses it to communicate with everyone to look menacing
That's the whole movie folks. AVOID!
