Good start, some annoying and highly ridiculous scenes

Rating: 1/10 (24 December 2015)

After years of anticipation, the reboot is finally here.
Except, it isn't really a reboot, just a rehash of star wars episode IV.
Good Things:
The new cast were brilliant, their acting was fantastic and they had lots of chemistry together. Kylo Ren, was also done very well. Initially, he just seems like a Darth Vader rip-off, but then we learn he is just a teenager, imitating Darth Vader, not actually being anything too good.The pacing was all right, and there was the right amount of comedy added with Chewbacca etc. The camera angles were done brilliantly, all the locations were beautiful, and some shots were phenomenal, like the Starkiller beam destroying the planets of the Republic.Death of Han Solo was very dramatic. Great scene overall.
Bad Things:
The plot is just recycled from episode IV. I'll write some major plot details and you'll see that you cannot tell which movie I am speaking about:
-The stormtroopers are on the hunt for a useful bit of information, and to let it escape, it is hidden within a droid. -The droid manages to go in a desert planet, where it is taken in by a poor person who lives in the middle of nowhere with dreams of leaving the planet and going on an adventure. -The Empire tests a new weapon they have, capable of destroying planets. -The Empire then targets the planet in which the Rebel Alliance stays,and a group of X-wings go in the weapon and destroy it via a weak spot just before it manages to destroy the planet. -The desert person's mentor is killed in a fight with a sit lord, whom he had a special relationship to.
See? You cant tell the difference, can you? I despise the Star killer base and everything to do with it.If the original star wars trilogy had not existed, then this film would be amazing, but that is not the case... Furthermore, the final duel is horrible, and ridiculously stupid. Rey didn't even know of the existence of Jedi/Sith, and two minutes later, she is using experienced force techniques and beating the living crap out of a sit lord who has had years of training and has destroyed the previous Jedi order single-handedly? What the hell?!?!?
Overral, it is still a good movie, but nothing exceptional. It surpasses the prequel trilogy, which get around a 5/10, but does not surpass the original trilogy, although t definitely has the potential to.
