The Force Awakens but with a hangover. It's acting weird!

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2016)

Well, I've waited a bit to make any comments on this film, I thought I'd let my head cool off first, digest what I saw in the movie, before I go on ranting and complaining about what was presented to us. Maybe I got this wrong, maybe I was not supposed to watch a film which would be a logical follow up to the storyline of Episode 6. On the other hand, there are some other issues here, not depending on the movie but very important when it comes to how the movie will impact the viewer and it what way.
I watched the Episode 4 back in 1977 when it was first released. I was just 13 years old. I still remember, I left the theater in awe! Everybody back then had no idea what was coming to them! Spaceships, robots, laser blasters, storm-troopers, warp travel etc, all presented on the big screen with such realism, for 2 hours one felt like being in a different world, one wanted to join that world! No one really commented on the acting and the plot. Those were totally irrelevant to the feelings viewers have experienced. Well, now we are in 2016. We use so much technology, not even George Lucas back then would have imagined. We have stuff that was not available even in the Empire it self back in the 70s. Our point of view has changed. Furthermore, through out the years we have watched so many great movies, with such good plots and visual effects, we are no longer easy to be satisfied and exactly here is the problem of Episode 7.
The producers should have given more attention to other details rather than realistic visual effects and fast pace action. Seen that, done that in the past. The plot is very shallow. Some times it does not make sense. - SPOILERS FOLLOW - What was the need to have Solo being killed by his son?
Why did Princes Leia even exist on this episode? I mean, she is doing nothing at all except for trying to stand up straight! Really! Do not misunderstand me: Yes she should be in the movie, but with a much bigger role and importance.
What happened with the Republic? I assume the Republic was in all OK and functioning, so how on earth has it allowed the First Order to grow so strong?
How come, the republic forces are the so called ..resistance?
The Death Planet: Ridiculous! Bad idea in every aspect. OK... let's say I'm wrong and indeed the first order could have such project build in secrecy, let's leave that and just ask this: Can the rays sent to destroy planets travel in hyperspace? Since the planet it self does not travel in space, like the death stars, I have to assume that the rays somehow can travel way faster than light, otherwise it would take for ever to reach their targets, don't you think?
The bad guys: Who? Oh, them, Kylo Ren and his boss the Supreme Leader.
Ren is nothing else than a bipolar punk with daddy issues! His training sucks! Come on... he got beaten by a girl who's only training was what ever she's picked up in the dessert fighting thugs!
My favorite, the Supreme Leader -THIS IS ...GOLUM ON STEROIDS! I'm sure, there is no other explanation! Precious!
Last point, the girl. Luke's daughter, Rey. She is the force it self, there is no other explanation. She picked up the light-saber and that was it! Boom...there you go ..A JEDI! What took Luke many years to master, she did in a few seconds! WOW! Take that Yoda!
Well, I could go on and on but you must already be bored by now, so I finish my review in an optimistic mood. Episode 7 has set the stage for some great news stories in the follow. I hope the next episodes will be made with more attention to the detail and more respect to the fans of the franchise.
In one sentence my over all review is this: Disney made a movie where the script was written by Donald Duck, it was directed by Mickey Mouse and the villain was Goofy!
