I've seen this before

No specific spoilers below, but some vague hints to the point that anyone familiar with the Star Wars franchise may get a rough idea of where things go in the movie.
I liked it better the first time I saw it and it was called "Star Wars: A New Hope".
Seriously, take a few elements from "Empire" and "Jedi", throw them in blender with all of Episode IV, and you get "The Force Awakens". The impact of all the big reveals and surprise moments becomes much less meaningful once you realize that you've been down the same path before, and so you know exactly where it is going. Mr. Abrams really needs to learn that just repeating all the steps previously taken in a successful franchise does not make a good movie, it just makes for unoriginal repetition. He did it with "Into Darkness", and has now done it again with "The Force Awakens".
