I thought this was episode 7, not episode 4

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2015)

I really wanted to like this movie, and it was honestly visually pleasing, but the story was just a remake of episode 4! I was very disappointed to see the same story with just a few very tiny twists to it. This movie essentially has a death star that the rebels need to blow up. The actors themselves did a great job in the own parts, but the story just ruined it for me. Also, Captain Phasma did nothing in the movie! If you watched the trailer, you have seen all of the exciting scenes with her! There were a lot of fight scenes in this movie, which are pretty entertaining. The only exception to this was the final fight scene. Rey had learned she has the power of the force for maybe 20 minutes and she has already figured out she can control peoples minds and grab lightsabers with the force. I feel that Kylo could have done a lot more in this movie make him at least seem more bad a**. I will still watch the next star wars to come out, but I don't understand how it is getting phenomenal reviews when the story was such a ripoff, I guess the visual component and all of the nostalgia is getting the high reviews. I wanted a star wars story that was new, somehow unique, but this movie was almost an exact duplicate of the original trilogy, but there are different names.
