Completely Average Sci-Fi

Rating: 5/10 (18 December 2015)

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a completely average sci-fi film. It's not a waste of money to see at the theater since it has huge action scenes made for the big screen but all these folks who are saying this is anything higher than a 6 out of 10 are just fooling themselves. Anytime a film does two things it is almost always over hyped. 1. over- saturate the market; toys, commercials, food branding etc. 2. bring back previous characters to help carry the story; the story isn't strong enough to survive on it's own so they need cameo's and nostalgic character plots to help bring the story along. The new Stars Wars is actually just like a new hope which tells me it only exists to maximize profit without any respect for the franchise. George Lucas must be trying to buy an island because this movie carries the same "meh" feeling the second trilogy accomplished. At this point the over-saturation of the new Star Wars is just becoming annoying and these stellar reviews will surely decrease as the weeks pass. The film is average and the hype is off the charts. With the market over- saturated with super heroes and reboots this star wars will fall somewhere in the oblivion of making a fast buck flick.
