Not completely terrible, but not fantastic.

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2015)

I see all of the reviews about everybody so upset over TFA , but honestly was it that bad? Did it let down my expectations? Yes. However, I also don't regret seeing it. This movie from the start had me hooked, but as it kept going it seemed at points it was dragging along. Im just like everyone else who tried so hard to not read anything about this before i saw it because i didn't want to ruin it for myself. This movie is very predictable and at points boring. I will admit i did figure that it would be Fin in the final battle as the Jedi, not Rey. That was the only surprise to me. We all knew that Kylo was the son of 1 of the main 3 from the original trilogy, i knew right when Han yelled Ben, Kylo was going to kill him. I think that the way Kylo was handled was a complete waste of a bad a** mask, but also it shows the weaker side of the sith, which is something we haven't really seen before. At times the humor felt pushed, and corny. Han & Chewy are hilarious (as usual), and when Kylo was told a droid stole a fighter, his response made me laugh. My biggest peeve about the entire movie throughout i was watching it was no light-saber battles. However after the movie i thought about it for awhile and episode III there was a lot, which honestly was too much. No light-saber battles throughout the film really put the emphasis on Kylo and Rey's battle to be epic and feel monumental. Which it succeeded in my mind. Overall a good quality movie and i will definitely watch it again in the future.
