Absolutely gutted by the story

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2015)

The film had all the right ingredients and could have been so much better. The lead female character was great. To see most of the old characters, droids and vehicles was also great. I had a brief tear when I saw the Millennium Falcon.
What let it down was the story. Whoever was the writer, must have used "copy and paste" throughout and just altered names. I am really gutted after all the hype. Please make more of an effort for the next one. Don't copy the storyline and tweak a few things. You won't get away with it a second time!
The hype can only carry you along so far. It will no doubt do well at the box office but please come up with a story that has some originality in it for the next one.
The special effects were really good and not over the top with CGI.
