A Total Let Down

Rating: 2/10 (19 December 2015)

This is not my original post but it says just about everything I felt about this movie:
Besides the fact that there are so many glaring plot holes in this new Star Wars episode: the Millennium Falcon being able to escape the mighty First Order starship, but getting caught by Han Solo's tractor beam, ships going around in space without even a radar to learn of approaching ships (I thought this was a 70s sci-fi thing only), planets populated by only a handful characters (the prequels at least stayed away from that, with the Republic shown as a giant metropolis and Naboo heavily populated. how exactly do they search for people on a planet the size of Earth?), characters just sitting around in medieval pubs gambling and drinking without any sort of new technology or at least portable computers, blown away planets being spotted by main characters from another planet who immediately realize what has happened (that line really hurt! why don't they bloody have a TV news channel in the gazillion century to learn that the Republic's Senate in the Hosnian star system has been attacked?) and so many more.
But what truly hurts this movie is that it's not a movie at all. I could get over all the plot holes if they had just given me something,something, but it was all just a bunch of repeated scenes from the previous movies: A greedy dealer buying spare parts on a desert planet check Desert planet from where main hero starts off check A trio of heroes check A member of the Skywalker/Solo family turned to the dark side check An evil leader staying in the shadows check A message hidden with a droid (sent on the desert planet) check Escape from an evil starship by team of heroes check Infiltration of evil base by team of heroes check Council of the Resistance check Another Death Star.
I mean, this was literally Star Wars from the 70s and 80s all over again. No change, except that the main character is now a baby girl instead of a man. Yeah, fem****t movies strike again. I can understand her using the Force, but pushing Kylo Ren with her shoulder!
And Kylo Ren, you all complained and complained about Hayden Christensen being vulnerable and his relationship with Natalie Portman's character being cheesy in the prequels, but Adam Driver is the definition of cheesiness. No matter what he does, no matter how he speaks I can't stop laughing every time I see his bubbly face. It's not his fault, it's just his face! He was born to play cheesy roles. Maybe this is what the producers went for, but he's not scary at all, I just want to squeeze his cheeks! He is 100% an actor destined for comedy roles. And that scene with Han Solo so obvious. I could see it a mile away. So overdone in films. So cheesy! And the dialogue was so cringe worthy Harisson Ford almost deserved what happened to him. That's no way to talk to your troubled kid, it was like he was trying to make Ben angry, to show him who's the boss! No "I forgive", no "Please", no "I'm sorry, it's my fault hat I've hurt you". Just: "Take off that mask, you don't need it. Come home!" that's about
I had such high expectations. I just wanted to see something, anything new. Something that would blow my mind. I can't believe this took so many years to be made. It's just sad really, I wasted 2 hours on... nothing. No feeling
