Star Wars The Force Awoken Review

Rating: 2/10 (8 January 2016)

I have just watched the film after weeks or being too nervous .
After the 30 minutes of franchise related adverts ,the trailers started .A constant flow of good vs evil franchise films starting with London has Fallen ,Captain America ,Civil War, Star Trek ,X- men .
Seriously this constant flow of formulaic drivel has become laughable .Time to try something different perhaps .
The new characters in the film all seemed very light weight ,there was no real character development at all for Finn . I didn't appreciate the way that every significant character seemed to just bump into each other regardless of where they landed .
The discovery of the LightSabre was also a very questionable scene .
Another criticism was the situation between Leia ,Han and their son now choosing to work for the evil Empire . They seemed to accept the situation a little too easily for my liking .
The acting of Domhnall Gleeson was pantomime camp .
The scene where Rey discovers her powers and then uses then was atrocious .
The scene showing the death of Han was over thought and you could see the outcome from a mile off .
The obsession with Death Star Super weapons was boring and the usual split action scene of space battle / significant character battle really has become an over used cliché .
I never enjoyed one scene in the whole film .
I am truly broken hearted ,and what the hell was that final scene of Rey holding a light sabre and Luke facing her .It was nothing more than a scene devised for an 80s style flyover scene reminiscent of Clash of the Titans (original).
My rating 2/10
