I am NOT a hater, I just like good movies

Rating: 5/10 (17 December 2015)

I was told by a friend that I went to The Force Awakens with my mind already made up. I am not in the habit of going to midnight screenings to waste my hard earned money. I was so looking forward to this, I can't firm this up any harder.
So what went wrong (for me). Overly simplified titles, underwhelming intro, disappointing music. Lack of characterisation (I really wanted to hear Finn's story, the trailers had me intrigued).
Going into some detail, some of the fight sequences between the First Order and the rebels, were almost 'pantomimish'. The Baddie Kylo Ren, reminded me of a school bully rather than a Dark Lord. I didn't really care about the vast majority of the characters on screen. Rey went from a novice pilot to a master Falcon pilot within 5 minutes. The Stormtroopers blaster training hasn't improved in 30 years.
Positives, Han Solo made this worth watching. There was definitely good humour in the movie, CGI was goodish. I really could go on, but it just didn't click with me. If I wanted to watch a New Hope, I will watch a new hope.
The whole thing was just lazy, lazy, lazy movie making.
Guess what my mind is open for the next instalment.
