A fun film, but gets worse the more you think abot it

Rating: 6/10 (17 April 2020)

TFA is an ok film. Personally, I do not hate it, like many do. When I first watched the movie i genuinely loved it. Unfortunately, this is one of those movies that gets worse the more you think about it.
Rey is not an interesting character. Not because she is a mary-sue or because she is a woman or anything like that. It's just that I do not find her character very interesting. She is not in the story because she chose to be in it, but because other characters drag her into it. She does not even have a proper arc. I honestly find the side characters and the villans far more interesting than her. Kylo Ren had a lot of potential and so did Finn.
The plot is not exactly a retread of a new hope, but it does borrow a lot of story elements. There are some ideas that could lead to some good stories, but the main plot is way to similar to A New Hope. Again, this movie is enjoyable if you shut of your brain when watching it, but I wish we had a more unique story that did not rely on the original trilogy.
