Worse than Episodes l-lll

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2015)

I spent the money to go to the IMAX 3D showing opening weekend and I waiting outside the AMC theater for an hour and a half. I love this type of atmosphere at the theater and I was so excited for this film to be released. I figured that if this movie had the original characters, an unlimited budget, and years to write a unique script, it should be great! I could not have been more disappointed...
The plot is literally the same as "A New Hope", zero character development, plot holes everywhere, my favorite character (Han Solo) is killed off , and the Jedi Knight/Sith lord that is presented as a bad ass in the first scene can't defeat a Stormtrooper and an untrained jedi in a light saber duel?! The X-wing vs Death Star scenario is repeated once again...snooze... This film would be a fine choice for a Thursday night at home on Netflix but not a billion dollar blockbuster.
JJ Abrams and Disney should be given credit though. The previews were great. This movie was sold on advertising and nostalgia but sadly has little to no substance...
