Truly disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (9 January 2016)

I had high expectations from The Force Awakens. Initially I thought that the decision to hand over the SW franchise to a new generation was great. The new faces, the feminist twist and even creating The Force Awakens as a remake of Episode IV were not necessarily bad ideas. They were poorly executed though. I question Disney's choice of movie makers because JJ Abrams did a terrible job with the story, cast, score and pretty much everything. And he has no excuses as I am sure that he had a lofty budget.
I also wonder if Lawrence Kasdan wrote the screenplay himself or outsourced it to a 4th grader from an underdeveloped country. It looks like a nauseatingly cheap comic strip with so many gaps in the plot that it almost makes me want my money back from AMC theaters.
The new actors are trying hard but are unconvincing, unattractive, and unable to portray chemistry between the characters. The score is painful.
I feel sorry for the kids who are supposed to be indoctrinated with this garbage. We grew up with better Stars Wars and probably better dreams. I gave it 3 stars because they brought back Han Solo and Chewbacca although even Harrison Ford cannot save this bad movie. The CGIs were decent too.
