Not that good...

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2015)

Without spoiling it for the people who haven't seen the film, I won't go into detail about what the story line is, but I will say there isn't much originality at all in this film. In fact, it's almost like watching a previous Star Wars movie , I won't say which one, but with worse writing and worse actors. The true star of this movie is Harrison Ford. Without him this movie would have been really boring. Some of the "Dark" people really needed to be "Darker" and less wimpy or giving in too easily. If you think about it, when did you ever see Darth Vader ever take any crap from anyone? Even from the Sith Lord? Films based on villainy need villainous characters that give you that feeling of darkness. Sure there were dark deeds done in the movie but when they were done, it just didn't give you that feel of an evil deed. Part of that has to do with the almost total lack of character building, which was done hastily. Even at the end of the movie, you have no idea who some of the new characters are. To be honest, the only thing that kept me from leaving the theater early was wanting to see the original star wars members cast in their roles again. The rest of the movie just didn't pull me in.
