More Plot Holes than holes in a Cheese Factory in Switzerland!!!

Rating: 1/10 (20 December 2015)

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! NOT THAT ANYTHING I SAY HERE CAN REALLY SPOIL IT ANYWAY!!!!
Been a big fan of the originals I left the cinema disappointed, here's why.
Don't get me wrong there were some things about this film that were good but unfortunately there were a lot more things, the more important things, that I thought were terrible and ruined it for me.
Visually there is no question that it was a stunning film, however, the story and characters lacked all depth, something that every other star wars film had. The story for me was scatty, it didn't flow it just skipped from one thing to another with no real explanations or background information, things just seem to randomly happen like R2D2 suddenly waking up at the end and pulling part of a star map from his rear end, why, how? or Han Solo who could have literally been anywhere in the galaxy randomly capturing the millennium falcon as it just entered space.
The main bad guy Kylo Ren started off great but then later I just felt like he was a 14 year kid playing dress up. Darth Vader wore a mask to keep him alive because he was brunt, battered, arm and legless, there was no reason why Kylo Ren was wearing a mask apart from to dress up like Darth. In my opinion he should have never taken the mask off and if he did there should have been a scarred and battered ruined face underneath that gave him a real reason to wear it other than just to dress up like Darth.
There was way too much concentration on special effects and action and no where near enough story depth, explanation, information and character background. Too much time running around from random monsters, flying about in constant battles, way overly dramatic acting and unnecessarily long lingering camera shots and pointless, lazy, unnecessary filler scenes. Too big a budget, all spent on effects with an un-engaging very weak story.
This would have been much better as two films with much more story explanation, information and character development, a slower paced and more gradual build-up to the end rather than just all out cram as much CGI action in as you can style movie.
The fact that this movie has managed to score an 8.8 at the time of writing this review on IMDb also highlights to me the sheer level of corruption, dishonesty and general misleading false reviews paid for and written by the main stakeholders of this movie. I refuse to believe that the average intelligence of the human race has fallen so low that out of all the genuine reviews of this movie it's genuinely scored an 8.8.
I have no doubt that a portion of the budget for this film has been spent on writing disingenuous reviews and fixing ratings to increase the hype and generate more revenue, it's a sad state of affairs. You only have to read some of the reviews for yourself to see it, it's very blatantly obvious. This is the only reason why I've given it a 1 to attempt to balance the un-proportional number of fake 10's otherwise it would probably be a 2 or 3.
Because of a mistake with my ticket bookings I ended up watching this movie for free with premium seats, I almost went and asked for my money back anyway to pay for the 2 1/2 hours of my life I'll never get back. This may sound a bit harsh but it reminded me of Transformers 4 and I had to stop watching that before the end it was so bad.
I could go on and on about how bad this movie was and all the problems with it but, you get the idea.
