What could have been

Rating: 2/10 (21 December 2015)

First of all, the new cast were good. But, this film I found to be horrible! And I am a big fan of the original trilogy.
I loved that JJ used 35mm, and lots of practical effects. Overall, this film is very rushed and too chaotic. Leaves way too many things in question, and doesn't develop ideas or emotions very well.
They just jump all over the place. Film makers please wake up! There needs to be an arc, and a natural flow. This movie had a bunch of crap just thrown together. It seemed like more than 3 movies worth of material thrown together in one.
Lack of originality as well! Gosh, I had high hopes for this but they ended up with something that was only 1 star better than the prequels.
I won't be going to see another one of these Star Wars movies. I beg of you, slow things down and develop ideas and emotions. It will be more magical and last.
PS. Just because you can put in something from a technical perspective, doesn't mean you should. Leave some things out! I would have cut down this movie so much and focused way more on Rey and BB-8.
