New movie, same episode.

Rating: 6/10 (12 April 2016)

I love Star Wars and yes even the prequels. Each film stood out on it's own and had it's own identity. The Force Awakens however is missing it's identity. First off trying to figure out who the main characters are will waste your time. It may be on purpose but do not expect much of a story here. The film is largely a run and gun blow this and that up and get away over and over again. Don't get me wrong seeing Han Solo and the special effects were great of course but there should be a point to all of it. Unfortunately the story leaves you feeling lost and confused. There is way to much resemblance to the original Star Wars that makes you feel like they filled up half the plot with the original script. Overall you can tell the difference when George Lucas isn't behind the camera. I hope the future movies will elaborate on the characters and story because so far it just feels like Disney is looking to make a quick buck of the Star wars name after buying the rights from George Lucas.
