Nothing new to see here

Rating: 4/10 (24 April 2016)

After all the hype, when I finally got to see it I was very disappointed. I felt the plot was just the same as from the earlier films with minor changes. The storm troopers still cannot shoot well, characters run around doing stupid things, until it's time to finish the film when lo and behold there are masters of the force.
My main gripe is that the whole plot is based on a very 1970's view of the future and has not been updated. Even now we have better technologies than some in the film and combat is still person to person, no use of drones or robots.
There were some redeeming features, good use of special effects without it getting in the way of the film and a plot twist that surprised me.
