Disappointed.

Rating: 5/10 (19 December 2015)

There are other reviews with spoilers who have commented exactly why this movie is quite average - I will only generalize and summarize in this review. I liked the previous movies including 1, 2 and 3 more than this. There are several problems with this movie as other reviewers have mentioned. The new characters are not properly introduced and you are not likened to anyone in particular. There may be a story build up going on, but there is no compelling self contained story like in previous parts. The story build up itself and the relationships between the characters look "slapped together". There are few original things going on in the movie as well as mentioned by other reviewers. They have mixed and matched sub-parts/sub-plots, but involving similar type characters of previous movies together.
I had high hopes from JJ Abrams. This movie is not like the Star Trek movies. Those movies were very well made - great story lines and character presentation. Not so, for this first Star Wars installment from him.
