Entertaining

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2015)

I'm not a big fan of the old E4-6 movies and i don't hate E1-3 as much as most do. Except of E1 all SW movies including E7 are on the same level for me.
After all the great reviews i was a little bit disappointed. Yeah its an OK or good movie but nothing mind-blowing or special or new. Even the recycled Avatar story is more complex and inventive than E7. The things you will get in cinema watching E7 are action (especially second half), entertainment, jokes (some witty some lame) and a lot of nostalgia. What you will miss is originality and any kind of risk taking on any level (writing, directing etc...). The biggest and and maybe only new thing is a female leading character and that would have been a shocker in the '90s but after Hunger Games and countless other new movies with adequate female contribution it's basically standard but still refreshing. There are some logic holes (errors) but they don't interfere much with your viewing experience or even destroy it (like Jurassic World did).
So after all i enjoyed E7 especially the first part before they arrive at the resistance base. The second part was very one dimensional and lost some drive even if action was at maximum the movie stopped catching me sometimes. I would have given the first Part 8 points but the second part is only 4 for me so i'll make it 6. E7 won't make my top20 this year but it was an entertaining experience that i would recommend especially if you are a fan of E4-6.
Yeah and BB-8 is so cute ....
