unoriginal, predictable, stolen too many elements from the old films

Rating: 1/10 (25 January 2016)

although a very easy film to watch as a star wars fan; it was all too similar to the previous movies lacking any creativity or imagination when it came to the storyline thus making it hugely predictable. The reason why its so popular is because it is similar to the popular trilogy; people nowadays just want to watch something they are familiar with I guess. What's worse is that the main villain looks like some CGI guy from Lord Of The Rings and the subordinate villain didn't strike any fear or authority like Darth Vader or the Emperor did from the original trilogy. This movie actually made me appreciate George Lucas even more for his creativity on the Episodes IV-VI because this new movie lacked that completely.
Coming on to positives; I thought Daisy Ridley played her character really well and no doubt outclassed the others, the action sequences were good and just in general; the nostalgic feeling of watching a Star Wars film was in itself a reason for giving it some stars.
