Awful - Just Plain Awful ( Contains Spoilers )

Rating: 2/10 (31 December 2015)

I agree with the many posters here who gave this a low rating! As one who saw the original Star Wars in 1977, I am truly disappointed with this remake. And lets be honest it is a remake any way you look at it. Nothing original in this movie - same plot as episode IV. Couldn't they have come up with something better? The bad guy is another Darth Vader look alike with an evil looking mask who happens to be Luke's nephew (spoiler alert). But does he really need that mask? Why does he wear a mask anyways because in part of the movie he takes it off and breathes just fine without it?
Amazingly the heroine in the movie is able to fight just as good as a Jedi Master with a light sabre without any sort of previous Jedi training. Wtf? I thought they had to go to Jedi school and spend years to master the force before they are able to hold their own against a trained Seth Master?? Then there is the planet destroyer that oddly enough looks very familiar to the original Death Star in ep IV. Couldn't they have come up with something more different?
The storyline and plot just seems to me to be put together without too much thought. Nor does it adhere to any of the rules and guidelines of the original "Star Wars" universe. JJ Abrams has truly butchered this franchise with this awful remake. Save your money and wait till it comes on Netflix. And judging by the reviews here it shouldn't take too long.
