Action, Adventure, Violence, Nostaligic Science Fiction story.

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2015)

I'm not going to give a synopsis but a review of what I saw. This movie is a continuation of the others but in the future where Han Solo and Princess Leia are now seniors. The focus of the movie is finding Luke Skywalker. I did find in a couple of places I was teary-eyed but some of it was totally corny. There was too much violence in the film for children but they are being taken to see it. I like the two new additions of the young female and the Storm trooper gone rogue. Both were great in their parts but I hated Adam Driver and felt he was totally miscast for his part. He gave me the creeps and he didn't fit who he was supposed to be by looks alone. Obviously his uniform made him look extremely tall since he is only an actual inch taller than Harrison Ford. The movie was entertaining and nostalgic but that is the best I can say for it. Most are looking forward to the next movie to see where it is being taken. I hope Driver's part is considered dead because I don't like that character and wouldn't want to see it again in the next movie. People wanted to see a new Star Wars movie, so it's been highly over-rated. The fact that it is rated higher than Martian says it all. It's being rated by the fact it's a Star Wars movie and not its real quality. It was entertaining and a good movie but not as good as the ratings here are showing. It did it's job to reopen the series of movies, but to rate it so high because it is connected to the old series of movies now is not using good judgment and realizing it is a nice movie but not academy award material other than maybe special effects. It had a lot of that taking away from the fact there wasn't much of a story line.
