Star Wars Episode VII : Mediocrity Awakens(Commences?)

Rating: 5/10 (18 December 2015)

I'm 15 and love Star Wars. But this movie, it's a disappointment...and it's sad to see such a blatantly mediocre film get such praise. Mind you I went into this movie with lowered expectations just to make sure my expectations weren't to high....
Guess what? It was still mediocre.
This is my first review, so let me sum up the bad in a list :

The pacing is absolute garbage. Easily the worst and most notable part of the movie. The impact of multiple events in the movie, most of which i can't name - are completely meaningless when the movie demands to be played at what seems like 25% sped up.

The acting. The acting in this movie, is stereotypical boring, cheesy, bland, and sometimes even bad acting. The new cast is filled with actors who for the life of them can't think of a realistic or unique way to depict emotions, other than veterans like Harrison of course. It's actually sad because the main villain, kylo ren, reminds me of the main villain of the Avatar *TV* show, Zuko, who is actually a pretty good character. But the acting of Kylo Ren's actor, feels more like the Avatar Movie...based on the show.........oh boy.

The plot. The plot in this movie isn't bad because, as many already speculated before release, it's more or less a "rehash" of Episode 4, but rather because of how bad even the unique plot lines are. Not to spoil things, but let's put it this way, the un-unique plots feel like "seriously, we're doing this again?", and the new plots feel to rushed, and while sound good on paper, are bad in execution due to the acting.

The only good thing about this movie is SOME of the jokes, and Harrison Ford. Even Carrie Fisher was wasted.
