Disney took no risks and got no soul

Rating: 5/10 (29 December 2015)

I'm greatly disappointed with Star Wars 7. OK, they wanted the movie to pay tribute to the earlier ones, but there isn't a single new idea in the whole movie.
It starts with the rebels yet again fighting a superior force , the "first order". OK, it took three movies to dethrone the emperor and now we are back at the same point.
After ten minutes , it was impossible to ignore the similarities. Take a look at the parallels:
There is one good old guy who sacrifices himself: Obi Wan Kenobi at Stars Wars IV and Han Solo at this one.
There is the Emperor who corrupts Darth Vader in the series , and Snoke (?) who corrupts Han's son at this one.
There is the ultimate weapon that is destroyed in the very last moment: death star and this new "solar" weapon.
And the list goes on and on. I could define Star Wars 7 as a "pout pourri" of the precedent movies with Disney's usual and great standards, but that's just it and nothing more.
In short, Disney paid U$ 4 billion for Star Wars rights and want their money back, so they decided to take no risks, and the result was a movie which is enjoyable, average, forgettable and with no soul at all.
