Not much more than a badly disguised version of the first movie (ep IV)

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2015)

JJ did a great job. Especial effects look great. This movie takes you back to the style of the first 3 movies. Less digital, more realistic. I liked that a lot.
The problem is the story.
When you watch the movie you already seen all of that in the first movie of George Lucas (ep IV). They remix the characters, the landscape change, but what happens in the story is basically all very alike the first movie.
There is no new ideas on how to continue the story, so they scrambled and gave it again.
Another problem is the lack of dept of the characters. Princess Leia wasn't amazing in the first movies, but really has nothing special to bring in this movie.
The new pretty face of the movie does an awesome job, but the story doesn't help her, and makes her do some not believable things for those how know the SW universe.
Is still a good movie to watch, but again, not something that gets the SW fans satisfied.
If only the story was as good as the special effects...
PS. The new dark lord. Bad, really bad. PS2. A good thing: You would never say this is a Disney movie!
