Made for longtime fans

Rating: 6/10 (23 April 2018)

Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out in 2015. Directed by J.J Abrams(the director who previously revived Star Trek franchise), it's set three decades after Empire's defeat, and follows two major characters who are caught up in search for franchise's main character, Luke Skywalker.
The film, I think, has a few strengths and more weaknesses. One of the strongest sides of it are visuals, stylish direction, and soundtrack. It really payed good homage to the very first film, if only we assume that it's strength. I really don't know. Probably it's a strength. For the fans.
However, the writing was bad. It was lacking fresh blood. Some of the characters were very similar to older ones, and the plot was also non-original and boring. It seems that only purpose of this film was being plausible and nostalgic to longtime fans. Some scenes were nice and filled with action, but without a decent story, they are meaningless.
To sum up, probably it's enjoyable for dedicated fans overall, but I wouldn't recommend it to the rest of the people, other than kids. If you appreciate good writing and story like I do, you will be disappointed.
