disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (6 January 2016)

Although an enjoyable movie, there were certain parts that didn't live up to my expectations. The movie is inconsistent with previous ones in terms of how hard is to train as a Jedi, and how hard is to master the light saber . It used to take years..., remember when Luke trained with Yoda, while now people just pick the light saber and are able to fight already? These characters all looked like a bunch of amateurs as compared to the "old" masters. Then it's the light saber duels... which are quite boring, mostly look like some medieval heavy fights, in which you move slow because your weapons weights 30 Kilos! I also expected for the bad guy to be more of a man honoring his grandfather, but somehow, Kylo Ren looks like he just landed here from the Twilight series and gets humiliated in the final scene. By the way, no force push, no lightning? Where are the dark force features? Remember how elegant was Dooku when he dismissed both Anakin and Obi Wan in a memorable fight? As a SW fan, I can only hope that for the next movies, both good and bad guys get some serious training from their masters and give us some real fights.
