It's plot lacks originality but the characters are magnificent

Rating: 6/10 (14 December 2016)

The new Star Wars movie continues reboots the Star Wars universe, but at some cost.
The plot, which is the weakest since the Star Wars Episode I, is badly executed imitation of A New Hope. A heroic figure who was abandoned by his/her parents in a deserted planet, who is unaware of his secret powers which he/she later uses to destroy a super weapon which can destroy planets. Sounds familiar? It almost seems that the producers were playing it safe, using an equation that has entertained fans a decade ago.
But, there is a but in this movie. The characters presented in the movie could be my newly favorites in the Star Wars universe. Compared to the original trilogy, these characters are more "human" and complex. I love how they present Kylo Ren as an individual struggling with his sense of self, not knowing his true position in the force. I can wait how this character will evolve in the following movies.
To conclude, The Force Awakens is a gutless movie (in the sense of plot) which introduces amazing characters that will be superior in the following films.
