Deja vu

Rating: 5/10 (19 December 2015)

As I was born in mid-90s, the first movie from Star Wars franchise I've seen was "Phantom Menace". Alright, it wasn't the best film, but still I quite enjoyed it: space, cool cg, amazing lightsaber fight, Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor. Then I watched 2 and 3 movies and my reactions was: "Um... what?". Seriously, nobody can say that prequels were great.
Then I decided to see the the original trilogy and it was amazing! Absolutely fascinating, interesting and enjoyable. So, of course, even thought I am not a big fan, I was waiting for the 7th episode of this saga. And, man, I waited for something else.
First of all, just to be clear: movie isn't bad. Particularly i mean It was worth watching and was quite entertaining, funny and beautiful. But that's it.
And here goes the sense:
1) "Empire died, but now the is First Order". Alright. So nothing changed, right?
2) "There is new villain sith with black mask". Wait a second, I think I've seen it before...
3) "They built the weapon that can destroy planets". Hmm. So basically, it's new Death Star, but bigger?
4) "To destroy this weapon pilots of the Resistance should fly on the X-wings towards it and destroy the compressor (or whatever)". Yo, guys, I wanted to watch 7th episode, not 4th.
5) SPOILERS!!! ATTENTION!!! "Han Solo's son (Kylo Ren) kills his father on the bridge, because.... " Daf&c?! What with this guy? Why did he do that? And what the heck is with this bridge? Is it nostalgic sign for "Empire strikes back"??
And tooooooonns of things like this.
Seriously, if you watched original trilogy and can do primary school maths, after 40 minutes of movie you will know EXACTLY how it will end. (Especially, Han's death. I would be more surprised, if Ren decided to come back and live with his family happy ever after).
Thus, I was very disappointed. It's like Abrahms thought: "Well, nobody likes prequels, which were different from original trilogy. So I will make a movie exactly as the old one".
As a result: old plot, old characters, old problems, old places, old ABSENCE OF COOL LIGHTSABER FIGHTS... God... Now I have really bad feeling about next one.
