I wish I hadn't seen it

Rating: 5/10 (5 January 2016)

'A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing.' - George Lucas
The above quote sums up The Force Awakens for me. Like many others I was really looking forward to seeing this and went to the midnight screening. About halfway through I got bored and by the end I was really disappointed. The many faults with this movie have been covered in other reviews so I won't repeat them. I would just like to apologise to George Lucas. Before the I saw The Force Awakens I was happy he was not involved. Now I realise Lucas losing creative control is probably the worst thing that could have happened to Star Wars.
