A 41 year old Starwars fans thoughts

Rating: 6/10 (4 January 2016)

Let me start by saying I am a huge Starwars fan, I have been since I can remember. I even have Starwars tattoos on my body which I think says a lot to how much of a Starwars fan I am. Right on with the review (With no spoilers) I avoided all the hype and trailers as much as I can in the build up to this films release and watching the film it has good points and bad points.
The bad points: I am sure J.J. put a lot of hard work into getting this film done and you can tell his is a huge fan but I can't help but feel it is a very lazy approach and it technically a glorified over hyped remake of Starwars A New Hope. Which is such as shame as there is so much content in the Starwars universe to use for new ideas. Instead of repeating old story lines and same plots be it with different people. Basically if you think Star Trek 2 (Also a J.J. remake of Wrath of Khan) The force awakens is the same thing on Starwars A New Hope.
The whole film feels like a setup film for the next movie.
The good points: It an enjoyable movie and the special effects are extremely good without been over powering.
The way J.J. has tied the original cast in to hand over to the new cast has been carried out very well.
To sum up..
Overall this is an enjoyable movie with a weak plot but is worth seeing if you are a Starwars fan and I am sure it will do the thing of getting a new generation hooked so Disney can make a fortune on merchandise.
J.J. has put together a good Starwars movie with a nice handover to a new generation but I hope that J.J. does an original script for the next Starwars movie and not another rehash.
