JJ Abrams needs awakening, not the force

Rating: 6/10 (23 January 2016)

Only JJ Abrams can make a light saber fight scene look sh**. With the tech available now days, you can do amazing fight scenes. I loved the light saber- the close up vibrations, the intense subtle flaring around edges, and the noise accompanying it were good. But look who is holding it. A little-thin man, Kylo Ren, for whom the light saber is too big. And what does he use his light saber mostly for? Destroying ship controls. His voice is impressive ,though.
I missed the starting scene. Damn the traffic.
I saw it when Rey pops into the frame with her face covered. This frame is in trailer too. JJ Abram is a good story teller. He develops character well. And that is exactly what he did with Rey. Depicting her life at Jakku, throwing a moral dilemma here and there. Take Finn also. And first half survives just because of this. The pace starts to drop midway. JJ Abrams tries to be cheeky and funny. I don't know about funny ,but dialogs were cheeky. All the time, it felt as if the movie is missing something. Besides, I am not a fan of old Harrison Ford and Princess Leia.
Here's the summary: some plans stolen from enemy by Rebels. One person from light and dark side crossover. Finn and Ren. Ren hunts and destroys all in search of the plans. Some truths are learned along the way, and there is a deadly weapon that needs to be destroyed. Rey, the main protagonist, with help from rebel friends win the day. Luke Skywalker pops in at last because another movie can be made in future.
Reading all the commentaries before watching it raised my expectation from the force awakens. Almost everywhere it said ,this is the best of the seven films. How wrong they were and not for the first or last time? I am sure many of star wars universe fans feel the same way.
In my reviews, I always mention my favorite scene. Thinking about it, it would be the fighter,Poe who was captured and tortured at the beginning, rescuing people on some planet, forgot the name, and Finn cheering him. This sums it up.
