Really disappointed...second 1/2 of film was boring and predictable

Rating: 1/10 (19 December 2015)

I'm a huge sci-fi fan...star wars, star trek, anything sci-fi.
I really enjoyed the first 1/2 of the film. Good story, new characters, new droid, new sabers and storm trooper weapons, paced and told very well...all very interesting and cool.
But the second 1/2 was miserable. The story was completely predictable and was definitely a larger scaled telling of episode 4...another death star OK it's really big, but destroyed the same way I was bored during the attack. Leader Snoke was not interesting or intimidating in the least. Kylo Ren shouldn't have removed his mask except for the exchange with his father. He was very intimidating with the mask and voice, but just a kid without it and not scary. BTW he felt Dad's presence when he wasn't even on the death star, yet he couldn't detect him only few hundred feet away that seemed unrealistic. Rey's character was very well done, except there's no way she should have even had the slightest chance of fighting Kylo Ren. I mean come on she just realized she had some slight awareness of the force moments before, yet she defeats him?? Let's get real...Luke spent weeks or possibly months of intensive training with Yoda, yet Vader kicked his ass. That whole scene was not plausible.
I liked the Han Solo death scene, very good. I had planned on seeing this movie twice but I'll wait for episode 8, it was very disappointing ugh..still a fan but very much let down with the story...
