Sigh, I've seen this movie before, 38 years ago.

Rating: 1/10 (18 December 2015)

Well JJ has yet again made of mockery of a great franchise. It's like they've spliced pieces of the OT and chucked it in a food processor. Kylo Ren is the most pathetic Sith Lord ever (and you thought dooku was bad) he comes across as a petulant child with a big stick and kills his dad (Harrison ford finally getting his wish to kill off Han since he first played him) the main cast were good (besides Mark Hamill's 2 min non speaking role right at the end in which he looked like the beegees) biggest beef was with the secondary cast, they all looked mid 30s and hardly stood up to the older more experienced looking commanders admirals etc in the OT. Most the action sequences were good because we all knew that's what jar jar Abrams was gonna do, some of the CGI characters looked woeful especially gollum the supreme leader (Andy Serkis) or Snoke the stupidest name since Sheev Palpatine. My other gripe was the pathetically obvious use of Nazi-ish visuals that are so over the top they might as well gave them all Hitler moustaches. So if you thought jar jar Abrams would be the saviour of Star Wars and return it to its former glory you're sorely mistaken. I never thought anyone could out "Michael bay" Michael bay then JJ is surely a contender.
