Remake of New Hope

Rating: 4/10 (23 December 2015)

Had high hopes for this film , but sadly let down from the start. It's basically a remake of original Star Wars and a poor version at best. The script was probably wrote in 2 weeks in between watching neighbors. I don't blame the actors but Mr JJ is rapidly going down in my books. I loved Cloverfield and Star Trek but lost some faith with Into Darkness , now Force Awakens is also poor this guy better take a long look at himself, if selected to do the other 2 Star Wars.
The movie is a series of predictable events and there's little to draw you in no clever ideas or wonder about the direction of the story line. One silver lining is Rey , I like her character , she's strong and purposefully. she deliveries in her development of her new found powers and full of wonder in what is happening to her. The rest is weak and does not hold water more leaks than the titanic.
Should you watch it ? yes .... If only for A New Hope that the next installment will Strike Back with A Return to what Star Wars was loved for character ... interaction BUT that seems A Long time ago in a galaxy far away.....
