Episode VII: A New New Hope

Rating: 3/10 (31 December 2015)

As a pop-corn movie, it's not that bad. The acting is good, there is action, beautiful pictures,...
But as an episode of the Saga, supposed to follow the Return of the Jedi...Are you kidding us? So we defeat the Empire, built the Republic, and.....no, forget it. 30 years later, the good guys are still in little hidden bases, bad guys are still powerful (Where is that damn new republic? There are only First Order ships in this galaxy???), and -yes they're original- building another Death Ray to destroy Good Guy's planets. Waw, impressive story.
We got the feeling it is just a new version of Episode IV, for the new Generation (with "Hunger Games-like" heroes, Young and rebel, with better special effects. But no thrills. Seriously, who was afraid of the "wannabe Darth Vador"? One good idea was the stormtrooper part. Finally, we are thinking about exploring the psychology of those soldiers who were insignificant since 4 movies. We see a stormtrooper feeling bad, holding his dead partners hand, judging his acts. That was a good idea. At the beginning. Because once the sensitive renegade went to the "Good" side, he has no problem with killing all his former partners...What? Way to ruin a brilliant idea (the "are they all so evil, actually? Did they choose their camp?").
Let's just hope the Episode VIII won't start with a big battle on a frozen planet with "First Order Walkers"...
