Not the worst, not close to to best

Rating: 5/10 (19 December 2015)

Not the worst, not close to to best. I went to the theater hyped up as the trailer really gave me that old school Star Wars feeling. Little did I know this was to become my disappointment of the year by far.
First off I'd like to start with the great: The atmosphere was amazing. The sound, the visuals and the scenery was great. Han Solo, Chewie, Leia and Luke Skywalkers appearance.
The bad: Cheesy script. The occasional horrible acting. Finn. The constant and forced throwbacks to the first episodes was too much. The similarities between this movie and the earlier ones, a third "deathstar", a robot carrying something of utmost importance etc. Rey's instant ability to not only fire a blaster but out-skill Stormtrooper being trained since birth and her ability to force persuade, fetch light sabers and actually beat a Sith (who supposedly massacred a whole lot of aspiring Jedis) without greater hassle. Lack of credibility and feeling during X-wing battles, Poe destroying 10 Tie-fighters in 5 seconds does not make this movie any better.
The worst of this movie is Boyega's Finn. Absolutely horrible.
Left the cinema with a heavy heart, woke up the day after disliking this movie even more. I have no idea how it manages staying above 8 IMDb score.
