Next Attempt, try with Shakespeare

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2015)

J.J. Abrams has made a spectacular film. The force Awakens is fun, entertaining, nostalgic, and, in the end, Star Wars. But just a kind of remake for the new generation.
I really miss a good dose of Machiavellian conspiracies, betrayals, anger, revenge, dramatic love, emotional feelings, good characters that are bad and evil ones that are not so much.
I would have liked to see how Kylo Ren accepted the dark side (why he wears a mask, btw?). I would have liked to see, for example, a childhood in common between Kylo and Rey, where Kylo (presumably the heir to the great and brilliant Force) was surpassed by the orphan Rey in every jedi way, and that provokes him to love her and hate her, and take him to the dark side. I do not know ... something. A STORY after all.
Ep. VIII, maybe? OK, next time family issues are involved I highly recommend the SW writers to drink from the creative fountains of Shakespeare.
