mhe! Was expecting more

Rating: 5/10 (24 December 2015)

I will not leave spoilers and I do encourage people to see it but don't expect much. The film is not original as it mainly copy/pasted the plot from episode 4, added a lot of human characters and minimized the alien population by a fourth or what we were used to.
There are some fun moments of course and I think this will bring star wars in the hearts of a new generation of fans (pre-teens mostly). But for those of us who have seen the originals, first and the prequels later(which by the way, may not be the best, but at least had more originality to them) this film was a bit of a let down (for me at least).
Go watch it, preferably with children, because their reactions will be far more exciting than the movie itself.
Thank you for trying JJ but you better have a giant intergalactic trick up your sleeve for the next two or you will be known as the guy who made Star Trek cool and barely tried on Star Wars.
