A viable popcorn flick

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2015)

If you are a Star Wars fan familiar with the first 3 films and had liked them, AND did not appreciate the 3 prequels then you may appreciate the comments below.
This movie is wonderfully produced with an incredible score and great acting by Daisy Ridley. Many things fall short which I don't think will affect the bottom line and $$ because Star Wars is a brand name, a solid franchise and most parents will be taking their kids to see this movie for pure entertainment.
For the rest of us expecting more meaning and depth out of this film, well, I was not able to find it. The plot chosen seems like a safe bet rather than anything innovative and creative. Past concepts and materials were recycled and the guest appearance the old cast members were dull, the chemistry between did not carry well in my opinion to the big screen and over all the story was just boring. Not as boring as the 3 prequels though, so there you have it.
Beautifully shot, great CGI, incredible score and that's about it.
Moving right along.
