Finally a decent Star Wars movie

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2015)

Not quite what it was hyped to be (it was virtually impossible), but a decent movie nonetheless. It's basically a remix of elements from the classic saga, and with 3 movies worth of original material it feels a bit rushed, with each plot point resolving a bit too quickly and simplistically in order to make room for the next. It's basically the Jurassic World of Star Wars: identical plot and faster, larger everything. The best feature of the movie is that it does what everyone else should and pretends the prequels don't exist (it's also better for the plot to pretend that humanoid life span is longer and memory shorter). You think JJ's Star Trek relied too heavily on coincidence? Man you're in for a roller coaster of "what are the odds". Items and characters improbably converge from every corner of the galaxy with convenient timing. -DO NOT FEAR SPOILERS- Any plot twist spoils itself with blaring use of red flags anyway. NOTHING in this movie will surprise you. The only real spoiler of the movie: Kylo Ren is a wimp. Possibly the weakest Force User ever seen in the Star Wars Saga (the prequels feature younglings, but we're pretending they didn't happen) despite the movie spending the firs part hyping him up. Mark Hamill, for a voice actor, can surely say A LOT with his eyes.
