Great movie but needs better leads

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2015)

This happens with all Star Wars movies. The two new main leads Daisey Ridley and John Boyega both were miscast. Daisey Ridley seems to just be not believable enough as the new lead actress in this saga. John Boyega is over-acting the whole time and they both really bring the overall satisfaction of the movie down a whole new level. Just like the prequels before them, with newcomers at the time Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman were both too young to be able to pull off the weight for the roles they were cast into. It's the same with these two new actors, they both were ridiculously miscast and their acting was pretty awful. However everything else in the movie did definitely deliver I would say. I think Adam Driver as the new villain Kylo Ren was the best new addition to the Star Wars Saga. I loved the movie but boy do they go wrong in the casting department. I know in the next movies they'll probably be a little bit better but for now they really need to hone in on their acting talents because it's pretty pretty shitty.
