Abrams needs to be prevented from ruining any more movie franchises!

Rating: 5/10 (23 April 2016)

I wanted to like this movie. I really did, but I just couldn't. It was lifeless in general, with a beyond weak main bad guy, and a heroine who was magical in her abilities far beyond anyone in the previous movies except the Emperor himself. The special effects were OK, but damn, the lens flares need to be stopped. JJ ruined the hyperspace effect just like he ruined warp drive in ST. I hope that like "The Empire Strikes Back", the next one is a lot better. Since JJ won't be directing, there is some hope. I doubt I will see it in the theater, I will probably borrow a friend's copy like I did with "E7-TFA".
All in all, a huge disappointment in so many ways, and this movie moves JJ into second place behind M. Night as directors whose movies I will never, ever see.
