As Original As 123 Fake Street

Rating: 2/10 (28 December 2015)

OK for those of you with little time to spare I'll sum everything up unoriginal + political + deus ex machina + CGI + romance + drama + piggybacking a popular franchise = Star Wars The Force Awakens.
The Characters:
"I am woman hear me roar" country girl: She is the main character and exactly as she sounds. An empowered independent female who doesn't need men to help her. Balls beware as she will use her plot armor and sword to castrate the characters you know and love to become an all powerful force god.
Moral black guy: Storm trooper who is morally opposed to killing except when it is other storm troopers. Ditches his family first chance he gets to join up with a band of criminals to smuggle illegal goods. 0/10 would stereotype again. Anyway in the most basic sense he is a jar jar character that is there to romance the "I am woman hear me roar" country girl.
Droid: R2D2 ripoff that rolls around as a metal ball. End.
Cameo: Han, Leia, Chewy, Death Star, and Luke as you have never seen them before.In short they do nothing to contribute to the story with the exception of Han who is used as a Obi Wan role leading the "I am woman hear me roar" country girl and black guy to their destiny.
Side character ace pilot: This guy get almost no screen time yet plays a key role in every major moment in the movie. That is all.
Darth Wannabe: Exactly as it sounds a dark side baby of a man child who wants to be the new Darth but can't.
Verdict: Kill it with an oil fire so as to remove the parts of the other films that it ruined as well. I didn't give it a straight up 1/10 because 2 or 3 of the jar jar moment scenes with the troopers were funny enough to get a chuckle. There is no originality in the film as it steals from the previous ones in every way possible (see Death Star cameo as Mega Death Star). An the degree of deus ex machina and PLOT convince is just insulting. An to top it off the two main characters of the most common movie archetype in recent years. This movie would be considered bad even if it was a low budget independent film. It really feels like a 16 year old girl was trying to write a fan fic after watching the last 3 movies.
