It's a remake, but a fun remake

Rating: 6/10 (21 April 2016)

*CONTAINS SPOILERS* As any star wars fan, or anyone in general, I was pretty hype for this movie. Once I saw it, I was severely disappointed. If you saw the original, then you saw this. The bad guy (Kylo Ren) was basically a pretentious teenager with severe family problems. The emperor is Snope, which doesn't even sound relatively menacing at all. As for the "romance" between Finn and Ray, it's basically this... He gets friend zoned and makes any attempt he can to try to get her to like him. Of course, this leading to the final fight, which made Kylo Ren look worse. He could barely beat someone who had almost 0 training with a light saber.
Good things about this movie: Not only was the CGI definitely good, but the acting was mostly good. The backdrops felt absolutely huge and looked stunning. Of course, the music was good. It was a fun throwback to the original star wars movie of 1977 and hit home for lots of people.
Final thoughts: As much as I personally was disappointed in this movie, it is really fun and definitely deserves watching.
