overrated rubbish

Rating: 2/10 (13 January 2016)

sorry but I cannot believe how overrated this movie is. As someone who grew up on the original trilogy, and then subsequently had to endure the complete tripe that was Episodes I-III, I would've thought that they would at least leave what was left of Star Wars intact and not contaminate or spoil it any further.
Boy was I wrong. This movie lacked any form of substance whatsoever. It's characters dull and 2-dimensional. It's plot line farcical. Full of clichés and with hints of comedy peppered in now and then to try to break up the monotony of an entirely predictable and rehashed script.
Giant killer weapon... tiny predictable flaw which takes less time to find out and devise a strategy for than making a cup of coffee. An absolutely ridiculous arch nemesis who can't even beat a little girl in a light sabre match, a girl which has never held or used a light sabre for that matter.
It's one grace was the almost cameo appearance of a legendary actor, Harrison Ford, who literally dwarfs the other amateurs within seconds of being on screen.
It's an absolute disgrace to the Saga and an abysmal movie which neither draws the viewer in, nor entertains them. I thought it was just me at first who was too cynical or too old to enjoy it anymore until I looked around and saw an entire cinema full of people who looked thoroughly disappointed. It wasn't until the ending credits that I began to hear the words that confirmed what I suspected.
