Boring

Rating: 3/10 (10 January 2016)

If you're going into this movie expecting the original trilogy, you will get exactly that. Not because the movie is original or well acted like the first three movies, but rather because the plot is identical. The movie had very few battle scenes, and one of those had a storm trooper fighting with some weird sword thing and the other had an inexperienced girl beating a supposedly powerful sith lord, Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren was much more like Anakin in Attack of the Clones than Vader in The Empire Strikes Back, so prequel fans (I know that's an oxymoron) can have something to enjoy too. I never thought I'd think these treacherous thoughts after midichlorians and Jar-Jar, but I kinda miss Lucas. Of the new characters, Poe is the only interesting one at all. Rey combines the blandness of Luke with the uselessness of Leia and Leia is pretty useless in this movie also. I only gave this movie a 4/10 because this movie was at least well made. In a year of disappointing sequels and reboots, The Force Awakens almost looks good.
