Disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (18 December 2015)

Star Wars The Force Awakens 3/10 I was, unfortunately, very disappointed with the new JJ Abrams directed Star Wars.
As a 2015 Disney kids movie it was OK, as a movie in general it was so-so, as a Star Wars movie, it was bad.
Story is basically retelling of A New Hope, but with a female lead and very weak antagonist. And trust me, weak Kylo Ren as a character is. Childish, prone to tantrums and unsure of himself. Everything the Sith were not. He gets into a single sabre duel and manages to lose, to someone with zero training. He is also "drawn to the Light." WHAT?! No one is drawn to the light, Light requires disicpline and dedication, you are drawn to the Darkside. Drivers acting was good, the character is just fundamentally flawed.
New lead couple aren't great, but they aren't bad either. Lead character Rey is by far the most capable being in the universe ever. Not only can she fly Millennium Falcon just by looking at it, only Han was supposed to know how to do that, she flies it better than him and also knows how to fix it better than Chewie. Just because she can. She is also able, with no instruction or training, to use Jedi mind tricks and not only overpower but also defeat in sabre duel the Master of Knights of Ren, movies main foe, Kylo Ren. One tough lady.
Force Awakens suffers from incoherence, possibly due to numerous rewrites.
Chewbacca is by far the best part of Force Awakens and Ford does well as Han Solo.
Last note; I really hate it when they have stuff in the trailers which is NOT in the movie. False marketing by definition.
Leader of the bad guys is Supreme Leader Snoke. He looks like a badly done Gollum from LOTR.
Force Awakens has a bad plot full of holes, and practically no character development.
