Losing Star Wars soul

Rating: 5/10 (23 December 2015)

The movie is a partial success, as the true lovers of the Star Wars saga were disappointed, while made an incredible amount of applause from crowds. Cons: Personally, I was greatly disoriented with the film, as I expected a true continuance of the great story, with its remarkable atmosphere and its soul, that I could not find in the new work. There were a lot of ridiculous moments that made me ironically laugh while shedding tears saying goodbye to the real Star Wars. The first part of the movie, I reckon, was majorly OK, though I just wanted to get out of the theater when I saw the main antagonists face (I do not want to show disrespect or offend anybody anyhow), the dark side couldn't choose somebody more convincing? Then again, their general seems to be a teenager with no authority. They didn't make me afraid of them, more likely they made me sorry for them. How was Ray supposed to beat a trained sith lord not even wielding a lightsaber before that, I mean, EVER, not saying anything about Finn, who managed to give Kylo Ren an injury? The lightsaber of Ren was violated into something terrible. The new "Emperor" - no comment, absolutely. The plot is weak. A new death star weapon? Well, just a bit more bigger. What can we expect in the 8th episode? A new super-mega- weapon that will be even bigger than the last one? In terms of the plot, excluding the first half, The VII is a copy of the previous classics. There are a lot of week spots in the storyline, great many of them, too much to speak of, making the movie a violation of the original series. What about the pros of the film? Wonderful graphics, interesting scenery and great effects. My favorite part of the movie, though the movie not being a favorite, is the scene where a star destroyer buried in sand is shown full-scale. That is probably the only positive experience i can extract from a vast majority of cons. General resume - week plot, good effects, ridiculous characters, a death of one of the main heroes of time in vain, and 2 more episodes. Star Wars fans revolt!
