Huge disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (22 December 2015)

***IT CONTAINS SPOILERS*** I had high expectations of this new Star Wars movie and I got very disappointed. This movie is a huge fiasco. It brings absolutely nothing new, it lacks imagination, the plot is idiotic, the dialogues are idiotic, the story is a copy cat of Episode IV and an extremely poor one at that: secret information hidden in a droid on a desert planet, the resistance badly needs it and so does the First Order (poorly resembling the Empire); the resistance wants to destroy a new Death Star, just that this one is bigger. And so on.
There is no character development. The new protagonists are so empty of any meaning that you can't relate to them in any way. Very poor acting skills by the new main leads Daisy Ridley (Rey), John Boyega (Finn), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron) and Adam Driver (Kylo Ren). The reunion of Han Solo and Leia is so dry and cold as if indeed they are two people with nothing in common than a poor movie script.
They kill off Han Solo BEFORE they build any tension that would make any impact on the audience other than frustration that Harrison Ford leaves the movie. We don't know anything about the conflict between father and son, we don't get to experience the father's struggle to bring his son back, there is absolutely nothing to cause a genuine sense of loss and pain when Han Solo is killed.
The Republic planets are destroyed by the new Death Star and again we feel nothing for it since we did not get any change at all to develop any feeling for the Republic. We only know there is a Republic. So we don't care they get killed.
Why do we have the resistance ?! We already have the Republic. Also the First Order is not a dominating power like the Empire so that you would need a resistance to fight it.
Why is there a hidden map that takes you to Luke Skywalker ? If Luke wanted to disappear, why did he leave a map behind ? or who spied on him and found his location and then produced a hidden treasure map to point his location ? It doesn't make sense. It's just a very poorly written story.
Then PHLEASE !! why do we need the desert planet Jakku that looks identical to Tatooine, sand people and all ? It must be because the writers of the script lack imagination and they copied Episode IV.
The first entrance of the villain Kylo Ren is so ridiculous, he is like a teenager in a Halloween suit. I thought it was a joke. There is no comparison to Darth Vader possible. Darth Vader's entrance was so naturally imposing; Kylo Ren is pathetic. Darth Vader's generals were trembling in fear of him; Kylo Ren gets bullied by his, especially Hux antagonizes him openly and trashes him right in front of the Supreme Leader. Another general disobeys his orders to continue the fight and runs in fear from the bridge. Kylo Ren is indeed puny. In his childish fits of anger all he manages to achieve is vandalize some electronics around the battleship.
Han Solo and Chewbacca appear out of nowhere. At least the writers should have created some reasonable explanation as to why Han Solo and Chewbacca managed to find themselves on the Millennium Falcon immediately as it clears off the planet atmosphere.
And how comes a person who is not a force sensitive - Finn - uses a light-saber AND fights a supposedly well trained Sith lord - Kylo Ren - whom we've seen in the earlier scenes using the Force ! And how comes Rey, who is not trained in the Force, fights and defeats the Sith ? It doesn't matter that "the Force runs strong in her family", she is just not trained to fight. Her fighting skills and use of the Force just come for free out of nowhere.
And what is that rathtar monster doing on Han Solo's ship !? It seems that it's only purpose is to eat the bad guys 'cause the writer needs to get rid of them, otherwise to Finn the rathtar only offers a joy-ride around the ship. Can't eat the main character.
And of the wonderfully diverse Star Wars galaxy all we get to see is a bit of sand, a bit of forest and a bit of sea and they all look so much Earth like.
It seems that J.J.Abrams mocks the Star Wars fans. This movie is so wrong in so many ways, it's a shame it made so much money in the box office. I am rating it 1 because I can't give it 0.
