Rehashed story, plot holes, unrelatable actors, JJ Abrams; wouldn't see again. The constant barrage of flashy lights and loud noises attempts to distract from faults.

Plain and simply awful. Not much else to say rather than it's a cheap copy of the old movies.

The worst Star Wars movie by FAR. It makes zero sense politically. It's obvious they just wanted to copy the original trilogy. No originality what so ever. Complete disaster.

Was better than II and III though.… Expand

This is film making byThis film is going to have the same effect as The Phantom Menace - beloved for 5 minutes before reality sinks in. It's amazing that with such strong imagery it still manages to be the least SW feeling film of all. This is film making by committee with the end result coming across as poor fan fiction. JJ Abrams' take on Star Trek as a light-hearted action flick was wrong, but worked because it didn't have legacy storyline to carry and it was already predefined to a degree. The same trick has not worked here, with no regard for the impact of prior events. Essentially, this is just a soft reboot which does not seem to hold the galaxy in the balance. I never gave Lucas any credit for the prequels - and as little as possible for the originals - but TFA proves he understood the scale of the universe and how to convey it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After boycotting the cinema being woefully unimpressed by the trailer also after the destruction of the last Star Trek film I didn't think it could get worse, so I decided to give the rental a shot. But after watching 50 minutes, maybe I can stuggle to continue if my brain can remain intact if my remaining braincells haven't imploded.

The scriptwriters have made a rat's arse out of this film. Why is this film's dialogue so offensively childish? When I was 12, I was reading Ian Flemming and Stephen King, and most 12 year olds I know today have a Harry Potter collection. So why is this film made for 6 year olds assuming that they are made out of the internet's text speech generation of today. They understand you if you give them a role model. But I suppose it wasn't made for them, it was made for every other language as well and there wasn't any specific age group. This dialogue often included OMG OMG ain't it cool, it was until you told me it wasn't. Why are you holding my hand, no take hold of my hand. Pass the tool, what tool, not that tool, I dunno what tool. I can do it, yes I can do it. We will see, we will see. A desert scavenger scrub has no need for an elegant posh accent despite of what force powers they haven't become, and that jersey accent on the other resistance fighter?

Aside from the above mind numbing dialogue everywhere. It was full of really blatant errors. Why does a stroomtrooper have a mid life crisis, don't they have a chip monitoring their behaviour fitted with a killswitch preventing re-education. Why has their education included history, when isn't that was has caused him to rebel, I gree their training included combat and a base language? Why is a tie fighter auto locked, I suppose they don't trust their stormtroopers to use the disengage. The tie fighter doesn't have countermeasures, because it's lazer quest the space torpedoes. A droid does not need coddling it is a piece of metal, not a pet. The tremour put a worm in, because no sinkhole farts not even in space, maybe that was building, I didn't find out. A stroomtrooper's armour would have been fitted with a hydration system for desert warfare, not wear a leather jacket in dark fatigue instead. If your gonna share a drink with an alien cow, then you have probably got your foot in your mouth. After witnessing somebody smash up two robbers and then have your own ass kicked, why are you going to grab their hand? The knee jerk reaction from combat training when under enemy fire is to get the F out of there separately, because a double target is easier to hit. But turning off a spaceship in mid flight? Kylo smashing computers and graffiting his walls I mean seriously force grab the underling ripping the information from his brain like Vader would have done. Ask Hans about cryo stasis that is the normal protocol for tentacle monsters. There was no need for lengthy conversation if you are going to try and rob the ship. The emperor or master? We will see, we will see, of course we will see we are watching a f'ing movie. And then my brain imploded. There is probably another list if only I can remember that information from off my other braincells.

This film needed credible dialogue, presenting a more thoughtful story taking some time to dive into more detail in better preparing its backgrounds. Instead of rusing from one scene into the next adding a lot of nostagila where some of it was recycled into fan fiction, but so much of it was repeated, infact many scenes seemed like a copy and paste from their previous models.… Expand

This movie might appeal to your average hyper liberal feminist, but not to a long time star wars fan. What Disney has done is unforgivable and I will talk trash about this big budget cash grab whenever I am able. Lucas is as much to blame for selling it to megacorporate Disney. Even the most awful star wars fan fiction I've ever read blows this Disney turd right out of the water. It ISN'T Star Wars plain and simple.

Anybody who says different is either paid to say so or a total idiot. It was a total replay of the first (episode 4), but with poor acting, directing, editing, music, everything was just garbage. If you want to see Star Wars done well, watch Clone Wars. I know, it's a cartoon, but it is leagues better than this pandering crap. Affirmative action put each minority in place, but nobody cared about acting. or story, or anything. Carrie Fisher looks like she's had 1 too many facelifts. The only bright spot was Harrison Ford, as wonderful as ever. The villain was a joke (part 50 shades, part brat-a whiny product of corporate feminism). The heroine was a product of corporate feminism (not real feminism, but where emotions and condescending **** replace discipline, training and experience). It stunk so bad, I would pay again to have the memory of it washed away. 1 lousy lightsaber fight, and it sucked-how is a girl who has never held a lightsaber supposed to convincingly duel? Gah! I hated it soooo much.… Expand

It took me maybe 1/3rd into the film to get a smidgen of a Star Wars vibe. Ever wonder what Star Wars would look like fast paced & gritty with hard color grading, editing, & angle shots? You know, like Star Wars fan-films you see online? Force Awakens is filmed in JJ Abrams style. Lucas would use mostly flat & face shots. Yes that is a very static way of filming, but it is also a very classic way. It lets you focus on the richness of the scene. Everything was so stream in Force Awakens that it felt like a cheap 3D amusement park ride.

But how were the characters? Rey? Daisy Ridley is wonderful, but sadly she's written as a Mary Sue. Literally every action she does is: showing up the boys. & I mean every. single. action. There are at least 28 moments..... in the film where they directly show this to you, then do a camera wink nod - she can take care of herself. But I love her charisma and my "only hope" is to see her in other things besides Disney Star Wars.

Ohh Finn. The new Jar Jar Binks. Ohh wait, Jar Jar actually had a strong character arch & came from a creative well designed species with incredible indigenous technology. What was Finn? A former Storm Trooper who gets sad one of his unit dies, then has no problem murdering his poor fellow troopers to go AWOL. What's more? They remove Boyega's beautiful Chav accent & make him talk like....a "typical" American. Yes they go out. Even giving him cringe lines like "Droid Plz" "H3ll No", & everything trope you can imagine. He was a clown buffoon & was literally saved by Rey every scene they are together. What's more, his fake US accent is horrible and sounds HORSE while yelling (which he does a lot). If you thought Anakin and Padme were awkward in the prequels, baby you ain't seen nothing yet. I had to look away, close my eyes, etc many times during this. It was that cringe worthy. Wow. Do Boyega and Daisy have good chemistry irl? Absolutely! But it's lost when you change accents. Typical Hollywood fare, changing accent for zero reason. It doesn't work. It's not convincing to native speakers of the accent. Stop.

Onto design The new Stormtroopers look horrendous, okay. We have to see so much of them, and it's these goofy gigantic duckfaces. They also seem to be composed of pure eggshell white non-reflective bristol board.

....George Lucas exercised a level of Quality Control over Lucasfilm that is now gone. JJ was given Kasdan, Williams, & Struzan. Keys to the kingdom. But what does he do? He does what he SAYS he did. Sat there like a giddy fan-boy, letting them "do their magic". Lucas certainly did not. He micromanaged them. The results are obvious.

TFA John Williams score: mediocre

TFA Drew Struzan poster: mediocre

TFA Lawrence Kasdan script: rehash

Experiment made! And the results are...guess what! It really was Lucas' genius that pulled together his 6 films. Lucas even added all of the good elements to Empire Strikes Back. Yes, George Lucas.

In Conclusion...Star Wars Episode 7 The Force Awakens is THE worst SW film by far. I rank it below every prequel & guess what. Lucas said it is "not his story". meaning Not Canon. The closest thing we can get to his treatments are the EU material that yes, still did go across his desk to get approval.

So please. Don't insult me this fan service JJ fest. Blips. Tiny references. Blowing up Coruscant. Death Star 3 (destroyed in the most passionless way imaginable) With Lucas there exploration, freshness, richness. Now we know why he left the project. Those people didn't understand. It's about Imagination. Wonder. Pushing Boundaries.

Never again will we have wild NEW RISKS like a muppet kungfu master..giant gangster worm who chains up women in bikinis..forest kingdom of man eating bears..pod-racing..arena fight..kamino..courosaunt Any of that. It's just ripoff the originals time. Even Geonosis, also a desert planet, was completely fresh under Lucas' s supervision.

Tarkin > Hux

Emperor > Snoke

Boba Fett > Phasma

Vader > Kylo Ren

Darth Maul, General Grievous, Count Dooku too all of these prequel villains far surpassed those two bit unoriginal variations in TFA.

Sadly with Kathleen Kennedy ... quality control lack extends to everything. SW Battlefront, Novels, Comics, everything. She's not an artist & doesn't have Lucas' mind for approving design. and remember, this is Disney, so NO SPACE BATTLES.

*sigh* it looks like Star Wars is over. I did not enjoy this film one bit. I was bored by the nothing because there was nothing. I followed this film for an entire year. What we're given is an MCU level film. A film that is not re-watchable or even cohesive. I have no desire to own the Blu-ray or watch it again. Why would I? For what? It's a forgettable movie with nothing creative or interesting. Nothing to feed the imagination. It's Hollywood.

You made me appreciate George Lucas that much more.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How this movie is getting so much praise is beyond me. Oh it's got Han and Leia and Chewie and Luke? Oooo must be 10/10 woo!

It's basically a parody of Star Wars a New Hope, at one point I thought "Am I watching an Austin Powers reboot?" the "First Order" Empire was so inept it was bordering on three stooges stupidity with them not giving two **** about anything.

Oh something crash landed on your planet base THOUGH YOUR SHIELDS no less and no one cares or investigates or even makes a remark about it.

Oh somehow out planet base shields are down and NO ONE MENTIONS IT OR EVEN TRIES TO TURN THE DAMN SHIELDS BACK ON!!!

Oh there is a force user loose in the base, shesh better not alert anyone or put anyone on guard or even how about sending out some storm troopers with those light saber blocking electro weapons... nope nothing.

Hey how about locking a door so Han, Chewie and Finn at least have to blast it open or even hack it open or even fight to get into the base!!! NOPE! Nothing, no cameras, no security, no nothing.

And that's all just the last scene, I could go on and on and on about everything in this movie like how the Xwing pilots have no problem sniping storm troopers to free Han, Chewie, Finn (the three amigos as it were) but miss the giant imperial shuttle that's parked right out back.

Or how Finn, who was a storm trooper janitor, knows important information about the imperial base. Or how the imperials have THE REST OF THE DAMN MAP TO WHERE LUKE IS!!!! But can't be bothered to send even 1 damn probe droid! I mean seriously?!

Ugh... I could go on for another 10000000 words on why this movie is awful and not worth money to see or your time, but I would basically just be pointing out more of the same.

OH OH OH!!! Don't get me started on a magical 2 seater tie fighter with back lasers and missiles!!! TIE FIGHTERS ARE A SINGLE SEATER SPACE CRAFT WITH FORWARD FIRING LASERS ONLY! Holy **** I still can't believe they couldn't come up with anything better than, hey lets just pretend Tie Fighters have this stuff cause we need them to be able to escape. Hey JJ, how about they just take idk, a Tie Bomber... oh pry cause you didn't actually read up on any Star Wars lore... oh...

0/10 for the love of all that is good with the Force do not pay to see this movie!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From the opening of the movie there is a clear lack of magic. This is not a movie worth traveling to the cinema and shelling out hard earned money for. Its forced, wooden, rushed and completely lacks any emotion or details to meld it all together. Its a typical JJ Abrams disaster. Too much flash too little substance. Every second feels like a fake movie set. It lacks the soul of the original 3. Its just never there. All of the ships are flying too fast and turning too tight. All the air to air combat is just Xwings and Tie fighters. The length they went to to introduce any differential to the "resistance" Xwings was to give them different colored decal accents. Its laughable. They lead you to believe that the Fempire takes all their stormtroopers as children, so of course Finn is a poor African child stolen from his family.

Another death star? Really JJ you did not foresee you would be lamb basted for this abomination? The acting of the original characters is nothing short of disturbing. Carrie fishers face and teeth are all jacked up and not moving right and her voice is trashed from I am presuming cigarettes. She looks like a thousand miles of dirt road and whatever they did to try and prop her up as presentable borders on CGI. People there is a reason you don't see Carrie Fisher in movies. Shes not an actor. Shes a burnout that got one lucky break.

Many camera shots are tight and wide. Lots of planet surface looks that probably saved some money. Very little of anything involves space. No space battles. One over the top clash of odd tie fighters and xwings. Sorry anyone with a brain, Awings, Bwings, Ywings, Tie Interceptor, Tie Bomber Etc. No where to be found. They need them in the movies but just pretend Xwings do everything. All the blasters have been messed with and many shoot and sound like Star Trek.

The CGI creatures on board the falcon are clearly the jump the shark moment. That entire scene on the falcon makes me want to vomit. Nobody can find these ships and people in the vast galaxy yet they find them no problem on a ship he should not be on board in an area they have no idea that hes there.

The movie is one string of things happening that are loosely stuck together. You are watching a movie that plays out like a story board. Too much unexplained, everything has been done before, better than this.

I simply do not like anything JJ Abrams does. Its as simple as that. I hate the current modern Star Trek movies they just defecate out.

Han = Obi
Luke = Yoda
Leia = Is just Carrie Fisher after 3 strokes
Rey = luke allowed to dress as a girl on Tatooine/Jaku
Poe = Red 4,5,6,7 cuz hes just that good at what he does "YYYAAAAAAHOOOOOOO"
Finn = A bad acting guy trying to escape the movie from the first moment we see him. We too wish he escaped.… Expand

The whole movie reeks of fanservice, hence the old actors who barely do anything and Han gets killed, for **** sake. The acting is barely noticeable, Rey can't act. The new actors don't have any charisma compared to the Original Trilogy - hell, even the Prequel Trilogy actors had some.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Congratulations Disney. You turned an Epic Saga into a poor franchise...
Rip-off... First I want to make clear that I'm a fan of the Star Wars Saga, movies and Expanded Universe alike. Have seen the Original Trilogy and the Prequels countless times and read more than 50 EU books (like many others have done as well of course). This "review" is not against anyone who like the movie but against the movie.
The first letdown was when Disney announced that the Expanded Universe is not Canon anymore and the Sequel Trilogy will be based on an "original" plot. No matter how much I disliked this fact I hopped that they could have still made up an interesting and original plot.
Unfortunately this is not the case... They have messed up the Expanded Universe and tried to make it fit in the plot of Episode IV. In the EU, Han and Leia have a son (Jacen Solo) whose Master is Luke (who else could it be?) and finally Jacen falls to the Dark Side and becomes something like Darth Vader. Luke Skywalker leaves everything behind and searches the Galaxy to answer what made Jacen become a Sith (Second Galactic Civil War, "Legacy of the Force" and "Fate of the Jedi" series).
So they kept this as a base, tried to make it fit in the plot of Episode IV and then named it "The Force Awakens".
- A droid has important information and is lost on a desert planet (they just renamed the droid from R2-D2 to BB-8 and the planet from Tatooine to Jakku)
- A person with Jedi powers with no knowledge of it gets the droid (Luke became Rey)
- The Imperials err.... sorry, the First Order has created a Super-weapon they call Starkiller base which is just a bigger Death Star!
- The bad guys take the good girl to the planet-sized space/battle station and the good guys go for the rescue
- As we all know from Episodes IV and VI the Death Stars had a weak point, so the new Imps were loyal to this and created the Starkiller base with a weak point as well! =)
- The weak point can be hit only if someone lowers the shields from the inside!
- On the Death Star, damn... I mean the Starkiller base the father figure is killed by the son figure, just like Obi-Wan was killed by Darth Vader...
On top of that there are many plot holes. Only Disney could make Rey, who just learned to use the force, overpower Kylo Ren who's supposed to have been an apprentice to Luke Skywalker and now of Snoke (seriously, Jar Jar Bings is a more serious name than Snoke...)
Episode I and II were far from perfect but AT LEAST had an original plot. The Prequels took the Saga another step forward. On the other hand, The Force Awakens (I refuse to call it Episode VII and they did well to omit it from the title) is a bad copy of Episode IV, a re-imagination of the original without a soul. It's a disrespectful spit on the face of the Star Wars Saga. A blasphemy.

I dare to say that Luke will die on Episode IX just like Yoda on VI and that Rey is Kylo Ren's sister and will kill him and redeem him on Episode IX too.

Congratulations Disney. You turned an Epic Saga into a poor franchise...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Movie is just a rewrite of the originals. Its basically a feminist remake with a bunch of plot holes. There's hardly any introduction, to sum it up its says "Luke isn't in this movie, and now an edgy cult order rules the galaxy." The new girl literally does whatever she wants with no training. She even tells Han Solo how to fly his freaking ship. Which she even stole it as well with 0 effort because there's no security at all on it (no wonder why Han Solo lost his ship in the first place to random bandits) How an insult like this to Han Solo is even allowed to exist is beyond me. So the girl is the "chosen one" except apparently with no flaws. Kylo Ren is just another conflicted Vader who is at the whim of the top dog. They couldn't even do a big dramatic reveal that hes the son of Solo. Its told in a freaking mission briefing, wow how dramatic. No other movie in existence has messed even that up. So they're all brought together and forced into action over an important message a droid has which is held by discount R2-D2. The character names aren't even good, Finn, Rey and Snoke? I mean you use a name that is close to Snooki for the discount emperor? By this point you already know where everything is going, no need to comment further. The movie is an offensive feminist plagiarizing remake of the originals. 0/10… Expand

However the battle on physical world was always in the backstage whenStar Wars was a movie about younglings and wayward people's ascention to enlightenment and achievements throught many obstacles that could easily destroyed them all. However the battle on physical world was always in the backstage when compared to the battles in the main characters. And with these battles you could see how people can be broken and constituted towards enlightenment. New Disney saga completely lacking of the meanşngfull and harsh journey the protogenists, it also destroys the meaning of revolving point of star wars galaxy "force". As George Lucas tried to add his view and concept of God in his moveis Disney completely removed it, like they removed the initiation process of teenagers (expecially boys) in favour of growing and allconsuming voice of aimless feminists materialized in that externally strong (she uses force as if it is her toy) but mentally absent character. Rey can do things without having any kind of backlash or weight to them. This makes the biggest marvels of Disney CGI and the biggest techs in Star wars galaxy as if they were helium filled balloons. And when you see they were destroyed, you won't get any sense of a climactic achievement but just a stressed relief that "this nightmare of weak plotpoint has finally concluded".

There were strong women characters in Star Wars Saga, and it could be a good way to portray a woman as mai protoganist but as I said above implementation of it was an absolute disaster(There were examples like Kreia from RPG game of Kotor II but it is enouther topic) . If we could not conclude by the standards of our physical senses as a human female, like if Rey was an alien, noone could say nothing about her gender. she shows less gender quality than all of the droids in star wars francise.
I don't know if George Lucas needed money or not but I hope he will use the money he got by selling Star Wars to Disney in good faith and hopefully to charity because this mess is not gonna help anybody except Disney for grabbing the money in peoples pocket with useless junks.… Expand

10/10 for unintentional laughs

No really, the movie is an Episode 4 ripoff, it's got feminist propaganda all over it (girls always succeed or help while guys always fail, are cowards, or villains) and it is an all around pointless excuse for a cash grab from gullible fans.

But I haven't laughed this hard in...perhaps forever.

Not at the jokes, they're predictable, terrible and overdone, but at every other scene.

Just this: 90s into the movie, we're in a fight scene. The action slows down and some sad music starts playing and I started thinking "no....you're not real". "You're not really gonna play me that incredibly done to death 'War is Bad mmkay, be sad, War bad'" when I haven't met a single character, I have zero attachment to your movie, you're just shoving lasers in my face for a minute then you play a sad tune. "It can't be that, no way".

Then Finn sat in front of a dying Stormtrooper. And he got a huge slap to the face that left bloody finger trails. And I laughed. I exploded laughing actually, and I didn't stop laughing at every line, every character, every scene, everything that was meant to be taken seriously.

This movie is so vulgar, heavy-handed, and ridiculously simplistic that I couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculous weight signs I was getting. It was like some girl at a bar wanting to show that she's interested in you, so instead of looking at you for a second or two, she pulles a megaphone out her dress and yells HEY YOU YOU'RE PRETTY HOT YOU KNOW?!

Every scene is an unmatched hamfistedry, to a point that I seriously consider watching this drunk to record a laugh track.… Expand

I grew up having my dad show me the movies he loved as a kid, I grew up with episodes 1, 2 and 3, but I highly respect the originals and think they are the best (although I think the third is quite good)

When I show Star Wars to my kids I'm going to act like Disney's movies don't exist, because to me they don't. This is what happens when people want to revive something that was good and squeeze every last drop of pulp out of it. Maybe George Lucas could have pulled it off, but Disney massacred it.

The movie starts off good, the jet pilot guy is cool and likable. The black guy is also cool. Then from there it takes a nosedive. The villains aren't explained at all, and the new Vader turns out to be a teen with emo problems. This guy couldn't even wipe Darth Vader's shoes. Few things are as iconical and intimidating as Vader's breathing through his mask. There is no creativity in the movie, nothing new is introduced. It's a nostalgia trip and a bad one at that.

Really the whole movie doesn't 'feel' like Star Wars. Maybe it's the camera angles or the CGI,I don't know, but it is extremely obvious the series has a new director. I could go on and on, but the worst part of all is when a freaking girl who has never used a lightsaber before beats a fully trained sith lord in a duel. That's f*cking insane. Plus she exhibits force capabilities that take jedi's years of rigorous training to learn.

Disney just has no respect for the greatness of Star Wars and is only in this for the cash grab. But by far the worst part of this movies was those snarky little 'jokes' You know the dumb jokes that make the nerds in the movie theater bust out laughing? Yeah they are everywhere in this movie. The originals were CHARMING, they didn't have to say these cheesy lines to get a laugh, they were just naturally witty and entertaining.

Well that's all I have, to me this movie doesn't exist. The great series started and ended with George Lucas.… Expand

Just the fact that users gave a lower score on this than the critics should tell you something. With great movies, it's usually the opposite. I expected user score to be 9.5 - 10. There's hardly anyone who dislikes Star Wars as a franchise. But this movie was really nothing compared to the hype and pretty awesome trailer I must say.

Personally, I really enjoyed how sleepy and lightly nauseated I felt after the first 20 minutes of struggling to immerse myself. After one gives up, a luminescent glow descends upon your being, you won't care if you died right there in the theater. I recommend reading Goethe's "The Sorrows of Young Werther" for similar experiences.

All of this talk of Jar Jar Abrams not having the capacity or vision to create such movies, is totally without foundation. He has the lineage of a great AAA movie creator, he moved freely from writer to actor to composer to SFX/VFX to director; ALL without relying on nepotism. A true nexus and catch-all of talent, Jar Jar Abrams was the perfect choice to direct this masterpiece. His decision to delegate all editing to the same marketing division of Ford that developed the iconic "Focus" and "Focus Trend", was a featherstroke of genius. It played out in the solid pacing that always left me asking questions like: **** was that - that **** from 'Girls' - are you ****ing serious?, I'm going back to sleep..."… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm glad I waited till it came out on DVD. I knew it would stink, good reviews from critics are so meaningless these days. The writing is soooo bad. Half of its childish and the other half is all these explanatory statements to try and cover for all the crazy coincidences that drive the plot.

Also, Kylo Ren is an aweful villain. He seems like he should be a character in the Office or some other cringe type comedy. He can't even win a light saber fight with a first timer? Really? It got hilariously bad at the end when the main character is learning the force on the run. Hadn't done it her whole life and then Kylo's concerned she's going to figure it all out before they can catch her. And I guess she did - she scrunches up her face, says "oh yeah, the force", and flys right over him winning the day!

My god, how do they invest this much money with scripts this bad!? I guess with enough advertising and complacent critics.… Expand

"Sad but true. When the opening credits filled the screen (Episode VII... blah blah) I was already grinding my teeth because the plot sounded idiotic. Then the huge star destroyer filled the screen. The fun bit is that the star destroyer had some sort of antenna or whatever at the front and it looked liked the ship was showing the middle finger towards the viewers.

I have to congratulate the film makers as that was pretty much how the film worked from that point forward.

1) A droid has important information that must be delivered to the good guys (Episode IV, anyone?)

2) so the bad guys hunt for the droid on a desert planet (IV)

3) Storm troopers raid a village, killing everyone (IV)

4) A girl is captured by the bad guys and the good guys rush to the base to the rescue. (IV)

5) The girl and the boy have a friend zone relationship through the film (Ep IV, Luke & Leia, wouldn't be surprised to learn that they are siblings in Episode IX)

6) The stormtroopers, elite soldiers of the bad guys, still can't hit a barn door. On the other hand, the good guys always hit, even when they use a weapon for the first time in their life

7) Supreme Leader Snoke = Emperor with a silly name

8) The bad guys have a magnificent new weapon that can destroy planets (Ep IV)

9) They use it to destroy a planet loyal to the rebels (IV)

10) The weapon has shields that can be destroyed by going down on the planet and disabling the shield generator (VI)

11) The epic villain wears a mask that distorts his voice (IV) and sadly, looks better with the mask on than without it.

12) The good guys can only destroy the weapon with an attack by X-Wings on the exact target (IV)

13) The X-Wings have to fly in a tight trench in order to reach their target (IV)

The screen writers had absolutely no new ideas to show for their money. A bunch of monkeys could have written better dialogue. A 1st grader could have made a plot that had less holes in it. The special effects were pretty much of the same quality as in the first Star Wars movie that was released 1977. I'd expect something way better in 2015."… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Why bother with this Movie.
Good
1.Started amazing villain looks badass
2.Good Effects
Bad
1. Pacing sucks and does not give time for character development. I know nothing about the characters because there was no character development in this movie.
2. Logic in this movie does not exist. Somehow a garbage salvager is more brave than someone trained from birth to be a soldier. Somehow that garbage salvager can repair the Millennium Falcon better than someone whom has several decades of experience with the ship. Ill tell you what next time I have car troubles Ill go to the salvage yard rather than a mechanic, because that makes perfect sense. Somehow it takes 3 movies for Anakin to control the force as good as he does as Darth Vader. 1.5 movies for Luke Skywalker to be able to lift a rock and five freaking minutes for the main character to do a JEDI MIND TRICK. The reason not everyone is a Jedi is because very few are able to use the force and among those that can in order to control the force it takes years of training it is earned. Rey does not earn her skills its as though she magically has the ability to control the force. Being strong and the force and controlling the force are two different things entirely.
3. Somehow a Sith Apprentice trained by Luke and a Dark Lord cant seem to win against a 5 min beginner force wielder that pulls Jedi Mind tricks out of her ass and a storm trooper.
4. Kylo Ren started strong in the beginning and became a whiny crying **** with daddy issues midway through the movie.
5. Story had no depth they recycled Episode 4 and couldnt think of a better plot than to increase the size of a death star to the size of a planet with the same **** WEAKNESS. This borderlines on retardation.
6. Phasma was nowhere to be seen and is so inept that when she is asked as to how someone went AWOL her excuse was he was supposed to show up at this location at this time.
7. The writers do not know a thing about suspense. Everything was obvious. The way they revealed the identity of Kylo Ren was a joke. The fact that Han Solo was going to die was obvious from the start of the scene.
8. The Sith Lord looks like Gollum. I kept waiting for him to utter my precious every scene they show him.

This movie was **** and the writers and direct should feel like **** They scrapped George Lucas script in favor of this trash and while George Lucas is not a good writer he could still be more imaginative than the retards that wrote this pile of fecal matter.… Expand

Spoilers below.

Finn looks like a character from Guardians of the Galaxy, joking all the time, breaking the tension that never was there to begin with.
He doesn't bring us the point of view of a real stormtrooper. He simply doesn't carry the weight of being an ex-soldier haunted by the terrible things he said he saw.

So, what did he see? The first mission in which he participated was that from the beginning. This rookie, who worked in sanitation and couldn't even pilot a TIE fighter was participating in a mission to recover secret information about the last Jedi.
At first he seemed to care about the comrade who died in front of him... But no, he was just a coward. He had absolutely no problem with killing his former colleagues later. Being an ex-stormtrooper doesn't add anything to his development. And what a wasted opportunity of making a better rivalry with Phasma.

He was also joking too much for someone who spent his entire life under severe discipline and didn't even had a name moments before.
There were other guys trying to be funny in this movie already, Poe and Han (even Kylo Ren with his tantrums and funny face). They could have made Finn more interesting, but no. It's not enough to have BB-8 as comic relief.

What is his role in this story then? He isn't a real ex-villain. He isn't a pilot. He isn't a jedi, he wasn't fighting for what is right, nor for money or for his dreams..... just being reckless for a girl he barely knew.... Wait... That's it!

His only purpose in this movie (and maybe in the entire new trilogy) is being Rey's romantic interest and making her look better by being her useless protector.

We can't even ignore him because he is one of the main characters. We are supposed to adore him for how charismatic he is.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am generally disappointed with this film.

Even though it had excellent production standards, the story lacked any real imagination. Remember that moment when Darth Vader told Luke Skywalker that he is Luke's father in the second film? This film has none of that. The angle of the storm trooper becoming a "good guy" had promise, however in the film it seemed contrived and is so socially correct that it is painful to watch. It could have been really good if they made a more mature rated film.

I suspect that Disney is just dragging out the series to milk more money out of the Star Wars franchise and I won't be watching any of the other films when they are released. In fact, I think that it is time to boycott anything that is a sequel of something else so that people can start making worthwhile films again.… Expand

MrCommonSenseDec 31, 2015

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me start by saying that JJ Abrams is quite possibly the biggest hack on the planet with the release of this movie.

70% in this movie was taken from the original trilogy. One of the main characters, A force sensitive girl. Is stuck on a desert planet in the middle of nowhere and her family is killed by the empire. Leaving her with no reason to stay on the planet.

The empire has somehow turned a planet into a rip off of a death star, and the rebel forces attack and of course destroy it. (But not before they fly through a trench of course).

The main bad guy is a cheap rip off of darth vader, mask and all. And he fails in every possible way to be an interesting or even remotely worthwhile character. It is revealed early on that he is an anorexic snow white emo pretty boy with the depth and complexity of a mud puddle and maturity of a five year old with the temper tantrums to match.

This utter loser literally does nothing the entire movie but throw temper tantrums and whine about being a useless piece of crap. Oh, And they made him han and leia's son and he ends up killing han in a truly **** way. You know, Just to give him a reason to exist. Because who cares about being original?

Is this **** starting to sound familiar? A masked villain dressed in black? A large round object capable of destroying an entire solar system? A force sensitive child left alone on a desert planet? Seriously? You get tasked with bringing the most beloved film franchise in history back and you do a garbage unoriginal half assed re imagining of the original? JJ Abrams, You freaking SUCK.

Now onto a list of OTHER reasons why this movie is lame.

1. Light saber combat is slow and painfully awkward. These fools act like they are swinging 20 pound sledgehammers instead of beams of pure energy.

2. They bring in main characters and pretty much just have them stand there for the duration of their screen time. It's like the idiots forgot to actually write them into the script. princess leia just stands there and only moves like three times the entire time she's on screen.

3. We all know that the force takes a lifetime to truly master, Right? Well the main jedi chick pretty much masters the force in a day despite never before being exposed to jedi teachings or anything. Even managing to pull the jedi mind trick out of her ass and reading the mind of han's worthless coward of a son at one point. Skills that are supposed to take years to learn. Luke spent three movies learning how to use the force and this little girl does it in 30 minutes. Right.

4. I hope you don't like serious movies because this movie tries to make a joke like every ten minutes it seems. Star wars isn't a comedy you idiots!

This movie is nothing but special effects and recycled characters and plots made exclusively to take your money and leave no lasting impression. This trilogy is already shaping up to be the death of star wars as a series. No depth. No complexity. Not even worthwhile characters or even an ounce of character development. Abrams is the M Night Shyamalan of scifi without a doubt. A complete and total hack with no real skill who gets work because his name is famous.… Expand

MORE LIKE THE ULTIMATE ANTI-REMAKE: take everything cool about the original and destroy it in the most fan-servicey, patronizing, vapid and moronic way, establishing a cast of despicable, irrational and hollow characters that pander to an audience of bratty, knowitall, SJW millennial stereotype.
-
Luke's tribulations and development? replaced (read: destroyed) by Rey who knows every language (from robot to wookie) is good at everything, is unbeatable, has no weaknesses, has no flaws, has no past, has no acting skills and is completely unrelatable ...but is a woman in a misguidedly politically correct movie —so she gets a pass. Han Solo the cocky renegade with an attitude and badass pilot skills? replaced by Poe at the beginning as a seemingly retro-Han Solo successor, who crashes and dies in the first 15 minutes, but inexplicably shows up in the end, indicating he flaked and quit the most important mission in the entire movie to go chill somewhere until later.
-
The funny looking tiny green alien everyone loves for being the ultimate wise sage? replaced by Moz, the new yellow yoda with a vagina, hepatitis-yellow skin and dual anuses for eye-sockets who alerts everyone when Solo arrives at a cantina full of bounty hunters and a shady crowd (thousand-year old my arce) who also claims Chewbacca as her boyfriend, because interspecies lovin' is OK in this misguidedly 'progressive' movie (despite the absolute sexlessness and lack of chemistry amonst all actors). Kylo Ren, a bratty tantrum-trowing wannabe goth poseur, undisciplined and irrational a-hole with zero tactical skills (except Neo's I-can-stop-bullets-with-my-mind (but won't use the force for sh1te over the course of this movie) and also SATAN SABER) who gets nearly owned by Finn and destroyed by Rey in her first day knowing about the force and the very first instance wielding a saber. This dude removes his helmet as soon as he starts interrogating a female prisoner in a humiliating attempt to be liked or something (Imagine Darth Vader removing his helmet the first time he met Leia in Episode IV). Kylo is everything Darth Vader wasn't and apparently knew nothing about grandpa who killed Palpatine, saved the galaxy and redeemed himself to live as a ghost next to yoda and Obi Wan; he could actually be right there by his side to slap some sense into him.
-
And then we have new characters like Snoke as the new emperor, except this time a silly CG gollum caricature giant who turns out to be a bizarrely oversized hologram just because he looks …more evil? more menacing? who's he trying to intimidate? his pupil? Then we have Finn, the utterly dumb, useless, compulsive liar who is magically capable of light-sabering around despite being a janitor for the starkiller, who magically knows the single most important weakness of the single most important weapon the first order possesses …but dude is black and this movie is all about multi-race pandering —so he gets a pass. Phasma, the first female storm trooper who does absolutely nothing in the entire movie except being a woman and chickening out to commit the highest treason by selling out the first order in a matter of seconds and being responsible for the death of all her friends, coworkers and literally millions starkiller dwellers.
-
Finally we have the senile-squad. Luke cashing the easiest paycheck ever for simply frowning and looking flabbergasted for a few seconds. Leia reprising Leia, except instead of being a strong female badass is now a useless sexagenarian repeating her roll as a rebel, with the same clothes, for the same resistance that overthrew the empire and thus became the status quo/government ruling over the galaxy for the past 30 years. A shameful worthless parent who abandoned her son for no reason whatsoever. Solo as Solo, except now a laughable geriatric caricature of himself who was a war-hero by the end of the episode VI, but went back to smuggling because nothing makes sense in this turd of a movie. Best thing he did was die penetrated by his emo kid. Solo also utters the single most patronizing line in the entire script: "Women always figure out the truth" (you know, because this movie is so politically correct, somebody had to assert that women are naturally wise and know everything, and who better than previously badboy womanizer Han Solo).
-
TL;DR The force awakens featured the most boring, unimaginative, unrelatable, unlikeable and badly written characters not only of any Star Wars film but any science fiction or fantasy film ever. Everything about it reeked of fan-service and worst of all: Jar Jar Abrams raped and plundered A New Hope et al while managing to be a bland, cheap and shlocky copy in it's self-referential writing and fan boyish direction. This movie is so bad, the prequels are suddenly better!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WORST STAR WARS EVER!

Star Wars got old and killed like one of its former heroes, and that was the ONLY enlightening insight within this patchwork of a failed remake attempt. Especially this particular death scene was so badly executed and foreseeable, that I didn't even give a cent about it.
It's Han Solo. In fact, he was actually already dead after about 2 minutes into his first appearance, because it's just an old Harrison Ford satirizing his former character in a Saturday Night Live style.

The plot and the characters in general are shallow, their motivation probably "clouded by the dark side" which is lazy writing, IMO.
Imagine the Infinite-Monkey-Theorem just without any results whatsoever: "And they all typed happily ever after".
The acting is bad, simply bad compared to the original trilogy.

The dialogues are filled with stupid reference jokes and endless citations of former trademark lines of the old trilogy.
The first time I actually heard face palms in a theater! (Yes, you can hear them if they accumulate)
Every character feels like the comic relief, EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER (!), not one serious character except maybe for Max von Sydow, but he dies very early and quickly.

The evil master of the First Order is almost an exact visual copy of Grendel from Zemeckis' Beowulf, I AM NOT KIDDING YOU!

Even when a planet gets blown up (which happens two times), it evokes no emotion whatsoever! I have never before witnessed such anti-climactic climaxes, it is totally beyond me.

The composition is bad most of the time. It feels like watching a home video or something made for TV. I have no idea how an experienced director can realize something like this with film.
For example it has the very first Star Wars opening scene that does not work at all. Not one bit. And sadly, it's just the first of many, many compositions in this movie which do not work.

Even the Soundtrack has almost nothing of Star Wars in it: Every time you start to recognize the original score it suddenly turns into something totally indistinctive, like someone humming the first two notes of the Imperial March, not knowing how to continue and instead switching over to Bye Bye Birdie ( In case you don't know it, indulge yourself on youtube)
And no better way to sum it up: The Force Awakens makes you cringe as Ann-Margret's vocals do in this song, and once seen, it can not be unseen!… Expand

Star Wars died at the moment when Lucas decided to sell them to the white slavers. Force Awakens is just pointless ripoff of previous movies. This is basically a Disney channel type of movie, with a Star Wars logo.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a Star Wars movie made for non-Star Wars fans. Here is why:

- The movie is simplified to the maximum. Gone are all those details from the saga that made the universe rich and credible. All combat space ships are a renewed version of X-wings and Tie Fighters. Gone are the Y-wing bombers, the fast A-wings or the Tie interceptors. Only the Millenium Falcon remains. This is because even amateurs who never watched a Star Wars movie know what it is.

- There is a basic "non-written rule" in the Star Wars universe that has been broken in this movie. And this is, I believe, what made all old-school Star Wars fans angry. The fact that a stupid untrained teenager can just take a lightsaber and use it like he is allowed too. Long gone are those padawans that worked hard for years with discipline, learning from their jedi mentors. Now everybody can just pick up a lightsaber and be the hero of the day. And this is the message that Disney wants to give to the new generation of kids.

- The villain is a joke. Not only mediocre, but a real joke. Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Vader, the Emperor... All of them had their charisma. Even Grievous is a better villain than this pimplehead teenager with personality issues. Congratulations Disney, you made the first Star Wars emo villain.

- Did I mention that this villain has super crazy powers? He can stop laser shots with his mind!! Incredible. Not even Vader or the Emperor were able to do such a thing. But, oh, wait. When it comes to using the lightsaber, this other teenagers can easily kick his ass, even if they never touched a saber. Imagine Darth Maul being kicked in the ass by a jedi noob? Darth Vader? The emperor? Come on, even Sebulba would have kicked some Kyle o Ren ass.

- The only essence that was left in Star Wars VII was Han Solo. The only one. And what did they do? Make him die. In a moment that is very reminiscent of that famous "I am your father" scene. Seriously, Disney?

- The whole script is a cheap copy of Star Wars Episode IV, which is, in any way possible, infinitely better than this movie.

Thanks Disney for ruining a franchise. Chapeau. Hope the dollars are worth it.… Expand

especially Kylo Ren. A three year old girl doesn't cry as much as that whiny emo dumbo eared imitation Darth Vader.

Numerous characters seemed to be added for toy sales, because they served nothing to the movie. Captain Phasma was supposedly a main character, but she only had a handful of lines in a 2.5hr movie.

As if butchering Star Trek and turning it into a Hollywood flashy flashy bang bang wasn't enough to keep Mr Abrams content, he has now decided to move onto the Star Wars franchise. My initial thought was he would be far more suited to this, given that Star Wars has always been for the, how shall we say, simpletons of the sci-fi world as opposed to the thinking man's Star Trek, however it now seems Mr Abrams purpose in media is actually to destroy beloved franchises and alienate its fans.

For a start the two protagonists are insufferably dull (the casting throughout is quite awful but let's focus on these two). They have absolutely no personality or life to them, boring boring boring! I have no idea how this can manage to occur when they've likely spent millions of dollars on casting alone, it's baffling. They are so bad they are a detriment to the film, many scenes are made particularly painful or eye rolling due to them.

But even taking these two out of the equation, the movie itself is just "been there, done that". There is nothing new, it's more like an (unecessary and inferior) homage than anything else, created by film graduates who've been given a blank check to go wild.

It's a pointless addition to the Star Wars universe, I would actually rather sit and watch the prequels than this shapeless pile of trash held together by lens flares and blowing the bank on aesthetics.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this, you'll thank me for the few hours of life you saved to do something entertaining.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before seeing it, I was very disappointed to hear how Abrams rehashed a bunch of nostalgic stuff and basically followed plotlines from the older movies. Another **** Deathstar plot? Why? Is this all Star Wars is about? A handful of fighters heroically blowing up a big ball?

So I went in to the theater expecting to be disappointed but not terribly so. I actually ended up leaving the theater hating the movie more than I could imagine and basically feeling like SW as it currently stands is pretty much dead to me. To sum it up, almost everything about the movie was just incompetent or flat out stupid.

Let's go back to the Death Star 3 / "Starkiller Base" - OK so apparently this thing which would have taken hundreds of millions if not billions of workers to build (the scale of which is not even remotely hinted at in the movie - the most troops we ever see was in a relatively small Nazi-esque rally later on), operates on the concept that it sucks up all a star's energy into itself and unleashes it in a super-awesome barrage of red lasers that individually target planets.

A lot of Star Wars appeal came from the fact it was very believable. It looked realistic, at least to me - there was nothing that looks like "UFO" or alien concept art from the 50s. There was some cheesy stuff for sure, but gun props were made from real guns, there was at least some pseudo-engineering going on with the ships, etc. Even "The Force" was somewhat believable (before Lucas went with the whole midichlorians thing).

This is just flat out stupid. So this machine sucks all the energy from a star before it is considered fully charged. Nevermind that stars vary greatly in individual size. It allll has to get vacuumed up. Now Abrams also likes to go ahead and ignore the fact that concentrating this huge amount of mass in a much smaller area would probably stand a good chance of hitting the schwarzschild radius of the material and invoking a black hole, or at last drastically changing the gravity on the "Death Star 3" into flattening everyone immediately. But it doesn't, because here at Disney (TM), using our imaginations and ignoring science is fun.

Then of course it has a huge weakness exposed at the surface for easy attack. And the rebels don't know about it this time because they deciphered the blueprints for the base - but because a 'janitorial' Stormtrooper also apparently happens to be a high-level engineer and knows all the weak spots and stuff. That's just kickin' rad for the rebels.

Then there's the issue with that particular stormtrooper. His story could have been so much more intriguing. Like others have said, he basically decides not to be a stormtrooper anymore in about 20 seconds. Someone that was supposedly brainwashed since a child into being a stormtrooper all his life and we are expected to believe he could just all the sudden decide that killing people is bad. Nevermind the fact that he ends up killing quite a few of his stromtrooper bros pretty mercilessly and doesn't seem to mind. This could have been one of the absolute best parts of the movie and this plot line should have been fully fleshed out and the process of going from trooper to rebel should have taken a decent portion of the movie.

And of course Disney made sure to let us know the fight where Finn turns was his first "battle" and he never killed anyone of course, no prior murderings for this future role model! He was also just a "sanitation" stormtrooper so it's like he wasn't even bad at all. Also, he was abducted from a young age so he had no choice in being a cold killer. Yep, you can't help but love Finn! What a great guy. I'll just go ahead and skip over all the absolutely retarded scenes of Finn using a lightsaber and the fact Finn's dialogue is nothing like it should be from an actual soldier who was brainwashed all his life. Finn's speech is full of all sorts of great pop-culture idiosyncrasies and expressions. Despite that, I had no problems with the actor himself.

Moving on and going back to that believability thing - in the original movies, all the bad guy officers and generals tended to look the part. For one, they were usually older than their 20s. In this movie, pretty much every bridge officer or command officer is basically a hipster that just got done trading in his fedora for that cool Imperial hat. It's just dumb.

I am almost out of review space and I barely got going. Can't even touch on Kylo Ren's pussification or how huge of a mistake bringing back Carrie Fisher was, or Rey's apparently sudden expert level sabering skills. Why and how was the Falcon stolen? Phasma seemed a well-portrayed and an intriguing character but was pretty much ignored. Why and how did Solo get this apparently pretty large freighter when he was apparently completely in-love with the Falcon?

This didn't feel like Star Wars in the least. The fans are kind of propping it up right now but in time people will realize how much this one sucks.… Expand

Ignored all of those collected works (from which it ought to have pulled inspiration) and instead created A New Hope again with a less plausible explanation of how we got here. I get it. I do. The books explain that the New Republic largely de-militarized and thus left the Resistence a rag-tag team of fringe fighters unequiped to identify the bigger badder death star being constructed... somewhere... and with... resources? But look. It's been 25 years since the battle of Jakku. Even if we are putting the galactic civil war on par with World War One and could therefore explain the second rise of a defeated super power in two decades, the rest of the galaxy would never, WOULD NEVER, plausibly have demilitarized as quickly as to have left a handful of ships in the hand of resistence fighters and gathered around only one system (which the starkiller promptly destroys). Never would a literal planet have had the opportunity to be constructed with all eyes on military development (especially that coming from the First Order being a remnant of the Empire). Even in WW2, historians agree the signs were all there that Germany was mounting a war time economy. Also, the other world powers were similarly still well equipped for combat arguably, even better equipped given the war time technologies like planes and radar and all that. To premise a film on blindly missing the remains of an evil war power constructing the exact same super weapon, but bigger, than before with an actual weaker flaw (just fly in and shoot some things no mega specific one in a million shot required) is insane. To see this come from Disney is inexcusable. They had the resources. They had the material. And what sucks the most is they had the actors (Rey and Finn and Kylo are all amazing). I'm writing this after the Last Jedi has come out because I had hoped that there would be some explanation. Like the StarForge (a device that could have arguably created the Starkiller base and fleet of star destroyers) could have been introduced and we could have all said oh, sure, that makes sense but no. We have this explanation that people just ignored them as the First Order became the dominant military force in the galaxy less than a century after one of the most wide spread conflicts in galactic history. I don't buy it. I wanted to like star wars. Hell I wanted to love star wars but this new series is an ambling, soulless imitation of Lucas's vision. I wish these movies had never been made and it makes me reconsider the Disney brand as a whole. There's do and do not, Disney tried. Disney Failed.… Expand

Terrible movie: unoriginal, uninspired and undeniably awful. JJ Abrams is a hack. Kathleen Kennedy should be ashamed. Lawrence Kasdan no longer knows how to write a screenplay. Bad move pushing George Lucas and Michael Arndt from this project.

The power of the Star Wars franchise is so absolute that it continues to let film makers get away with murder. I mean, I get it. The first couple movies were awesome and the lightsaber is pretty much the coolest weapon that's ever been. ButThe power of the Star Wars franchise is so absolute that it continues to let film makers get away with murder. I mean, I get it. The first couple movies were awesome and the lightsaber is pretty much the coolest weapon that's ever been. But how much more are you going to take before it all comes crashing down under the sheer pressure of reality?

The murder for which these pesky, living insults to creativity must answer to, is that of their own franchise. I understand the laziness starts to settle in deep when most of your revenue comes from toys sale, and I realize the glee one must feel with reaching a new target audience after minimal effort (you didn't really think that Rey was a PC equality statement, did you?), but at some point some of these people will remember why they came into this industry in the first place. Maybe after they've spent enough dirty money to get bored with a high standard of living, maybe when they take a second after getting loaded on d'Ambonnay poured onto their stupid Riedel bar-set pieces, I hope they realize they traded a shot at eternal artistic expression in turn for some shallow immediate pay offs. In true synergy with this title by the way - shallow.

The real irony of this once great franchise is that its owners and creators have all become what their stories advert against - tools of the Dark Side. In this analogy, the Dark Side represents profit maximization, the most twisted of its forms being the short-term one. I mean, we all know George Lucas went insane midway through the writing for "Return of the Jedi", probably waking up in a cold sweat with Palpatine's voice screaming in his head during his first withdrawal episode. This was ultimately confirmed with those abominations labeled as "the Prequels" that only purpose was to make the fans' minds juggle when re-watching the originals, in an attempt to forget that the overall quality of the whole thing had just been chopped down a few good pegs. But after this once great film maker decided to cash it in (and hopefully spend at least some of it making amends for his sins) the general consensus was that this would turn a new page. Dead wrong. The profit maximization runs deep within, their fears and angers all leading to the Dark Side, with no redemption in sight.

The entire movie plot moves through coincidence. There is no character development. No connection to the protagonists. The tension is non-existent to the point of the actual characters in the movie making jokes about it (Just use the Force, right?). By the end of this movie you're cringing at how fragile the villains look. Dialogue is so forced and direct that I'm willing to bet their preview audiences were children. There is barely any scope, any feeling of vastness and of how rich this universe is (the prequels actually did this better, which is unbelievable). The story is insulting, both to the viewers intelligence and to decades of lore that got destroyed in another toy commercial.

But the worst thing about this movie, and which confirms that we truly can not trust any system of rating available to a wide range of people (like this website), for how dosed off and content with shallow entertainment most of us are, is how this is being labeled as a space opera. This is not a space opera. It is a bland action flick that happens to be branded as a Star Wars movie. But the feeling of Star Wars is not present. There is no magic left (or Force, for that matter). All that's left now is to determine how long will the mass hysteria last for this disaster to get its deserved recognition.

Incredible to say, but I think the prequels may have been better. If you like all the Clone Wars garbage on TV, then you may like this film. One of the biggest disappointments, instead of coming up with an original story or any story, this film suffers from lack of character development, poor direction, no tension in any scenes. This film was about as good as Indy 4. When I IMDB'd J.J., I saw that all his film are garbage. He was the wrong director for this job. He's not even a director. If anything a director of being mediocre. Shame on everyone involved in this project. The prequels set the bar so low, it wouldn't take a lot of thought to make this better. Somehow you managed to make this suck. How much time did they actually spend on thinking about the script and story? One week? The only thing I liked about this film was the opening crawl.… Expand

The real tragedy here is the missed opportunity to take the original trilogy to a new path with a fresh perspective. Instead it uses too many nostalgia elements with the same ANH story arc with a couple of miscasts (Adam Driver? Really?) to bring you something that you already saw. The film score is as poor and lazy as the plot, probably the worst of all SW movies This is a sad backwards step.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For Quite some time if not years i've been looking forward for this. Never and I really mean never was I more disapointed after seeing a movie of which I expected so much. I dunno where it went wrong perhaps Disney should have never been involved in making a SW movie also the director JJ abrams messed up pretty bad. It's an entire rip off of the 4th episode i kinda felt like they copy pasted the entire movie xD really for A star wars fan I really left the theatres with a feeling of WTF did I just witnessed?
The movie had no depth , no stable storyline just a dozen pieces being thrown in a mixxer and I guess they were like lets see what pops out.. Kylo Ren is in my opinion the most disapointing character what kind of Sissy dude did they take for this ? They might as well could have used ''king geoffrey (GOT) haha Ren looked like a queer crying baby. they should have used an actor with actual bad ass face impressions someone like jai Courtney or Cam Gigandet. This all being said Disney & JJ abrams keep your ideas and stay out of the SW business .. This Fan will endure sleepless nights of disapointment… Expand

I honestly didn't think it was possible to be more disappointed in a Star Wars movie than the prequels. Star Wars has always been about the characters, and J. J. Abrams manages to butcher every new character and kill off the only memorable one.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Please tell me how this fiasco of a great movie saga was destroyed and obliterated so heavily by a tiny little man by the name of J J Abrams. A Mich mach of Episodes 4 and 6 repeatedly used over and over again... Death Star as a Death Planet ! Planet Jakku as a poor substitute for Tatooine !!! And let us not forget BB8 as a shallow replacement for the now Legendary R2-D2...Oh come on !!! As someone who saw all the previous Star War movies, and enjoyed some of them, my impression of Force Awakens is mostly negative. This is by far the least original movie in the Star Wars series. There are zero surprises or suspense in The Force Awakens. Every plot twist (if it can be even called that) is telegraphed with an unusual lack of subtlety. The Force Awakens simply has none of that. Instead it has the feeling of a made-for-TV Star Wars reunion special. A big problem for The Force Awakens are its villains. Kylo-Ren could not scare a 5-year old, the store-brand Voldemort (pardon me Supreme Leader Snoke) reminded me mostly of an elderly Ent, General Hux is is a drama queen in a 1950's flight-attendant hat, and Captain Phasma mostly has the role of an obedient and disciplined hostage. Darth Vader would **** each on one of those with his little finger while drinking his morning tea gazing in the distance. If you are looking for something scary in this movie, Carrie Fisher's acting is it. Anticipating whether she will be able to keep it together in her scenes provides some nervous suspense. The battle scenes are surprisingly short and taking place mostly on earth as far as I can tell. Space is simply not a big part of this movie. I could go on and, on but you get the gist. I watched each on the previous Star Wars movies at least 100 times and they remain one of my guilty-pleasures. I am thinking if I want to continue to watch the newly made Star Wars movies, but probably each one of them just once.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Speechless: Fears Confirmed, fans deserve better!

I have rated this a 0, for 1 reason: Fans deserve better!

I have read many comments, detailing in a far more literate way, and at far greater length the issues with this film. I waited at midnight to see this and whilst it could have been worse, with the support and budget this movie had it should have been WAY better.

If this was a stand alone movie you'd have a style over substance 5.5 flick like Jupiter Ascending, however you had a pre-built fan base, and lets face it LOTS OF DISNEY MONEY, to think tank a legacy deserving of the original.

Mr Abrams you should be ashamed, for this blatant, uninspired reboot, that puts action (ripping the best sequences out of episodes IV and V) ahead of a plausible story, combined with weak new characters, poor acting, and a complete failure to suspend disbelief!

4Q Mr Abrams, 4Q!… Expand

Welcome to Star Wars with: A bad whiny male lead who will be Han Solo 2 in the future! An even more whiny Kylo ren who will be Darth Vader 2 in the future! ( He even lost the same parts of his body asStar wars the feminism awakens!

Welcome to Star Wars with:

A bad whiny male lead who will be Han Solo 2 in the future!

An even more whiny Kylo ren who will be Darth Vader 2 in the future! ( He even lost the same parts of his body as Darth Vader...oh come on!)

Rey who is Lukine 2 in the future. She can beat a full trained Sith warrior even without the force, but the power of feminism.

Because a black guy is not strong enough. It must be the strong white femina girl!

A pilot who died and who was not dead in the end (Oh come on....!)

So much things which are completely brainless. (Why Finn and Rey are crying about Han´s death. They only knew him for an hour....)

And i predict this for the second movie:

Luke will die in the first 30 minutes like Obi Wan. Rey will be the sister of Kylo. ( Do not ask me how, this is Star Wars there is no logic there)

Finn will learn how to pilot an X Wing and will become the greatest pilot of the alliance. And the leader of the Alliance, because Leia will die too.

And we will hear the sentence " I am your sister" Oh god please no -.-

PS: Kylo will look like Darth Vader only with a new armor.

And the white pure feminist female lead will purge the Kylo (snape) and build up the new Jedi order under the one and only truth. The feminist matriarchy.

Oh god no -.-… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TL;DR This is a 'meh" movie which does not deserve the scores it is receiving.

The Resistance! Thank god you've come! Glad to see the scores dropping to somewhat realistic levels.

If you like nonsensical coincidence driven plots, illogical yet bland crowd pleasing story , a complete lack of context for any events or characters, an avalanche of nonstop soulless references and... "jokes", total disrespect for source lore, obvious plot devices that slap you in the face with their obviousness so hard that they are obvious and dare I say it, tropes... Then you will love this movie.

There's really nothing more I can say about this nostalgia-fest of a film that hasn't been said already, but I felt like I had to do my part in combating the undeserved, ludicrous, and insane scores of 10's and 9's this movie is receiving.

In fact, as a life long lurker, this is the first review I've ever done of anything, but the injustice of a "meh at best" movie receiving critical acclaim simply because its Star Wars and Abrams directed forced me to join this discussion. Don't let hype and nostalgia blind you, tell the truth.

List of criticisms begins, quickly becomes a bit ranty;

NO who, what, when, where, why, or how about anything at all. It's a general comment.

20% dialogue / 80% boom boom and flashbacks and zoomed in faces going "gngh!".

No background information about the state of the galaxy, political climate, the Order, the New Republic,
the main characters, or anything else.

Coincidences! R2 turns on, why? Millennium Falcon is right there, ready for escape, why? Luke's Lightsaber, why? Fin crashes right next to Rey's hometown from orbit, how? There's more but point made.

Rey is the most magically great at everything, better than boyz, "#badassgirl" I have ever seen. Offensive to anyone who doesn't like to be blatantly pandered to. Her nonsensical mastery of force techniques
devalues what and how the Force functions and the extreme dedication and effort required to be a Jedi.
We all deserve female characters who resemble reality instead of a pandering strawman.

Finn has a complete 180 character reversal because nonsense. Symptom of a bad movie.

Boy band villain is the most groan worthy dark jedi imaginable. His tantrums are not evil or "scary" as the
movie tried to bash you over the head with... just petulant. Boring, weak, emasculated, bleh.

Five planets were destroyed, trillions of people were killed, and it was barely referenced. The entire scene in which that happens runs five minutes then immediately become another action scene. Also...
who, what, where, when, how!

Snoke is a stupid name, why does he choose do use a giant hologram (cause its so cwl) and why did he send his "untrained" apprentice to do all this if he is so useless!

How did the Order get the resources to build star killer base? The Empire could build the Death Star because they had the resources of an entire galaxy at their disposal! How did a terrorist organization not
only match that feat but surpass it five times over?

The Han spoiler was so obvious from so far that it lost all its emotional gravity.

Phasma did nothing. Don't tell me "Well, Boba Fett also did nothing at first!". True, that's why they didn't put him on the poster.

There's more of course but.... In closing, this movie was insulting to anyone with a brain. Lucas was accused of writing the prequel films for children. I make the same accusation against Abrams, except he was writing for the masses.

The only great thing this movie will do for the franchise is pump money into Expanded Universe games and books, which is where the magic has always lived anyways. Let's just hope that Disney embraces that fact instead of truly killing the source of Star Wars fandom... (loljkwerdoomedxxx)… Expand

That's why i am so disappointed with this movie, it's not good Star wars movie it's not even good movie period

My main problem with it is
- galaxy far far away doesn't seem to be so far far away after all, hate all you like on prequel trilogy but at least the 3 movies have this going on for them beautiful places beautiful costumes lots of different species
- Rebellion which consist of 10 x-wings because i haven't seen anything more, makes me wonder why First Order is so scared of them
- this secret super weapon is laughable, who builds a weapon which can fire twice??? looking how dark it got when they were charging it second time, not to mention what would happen with the star - white dwarf , go supernova , black hole??
-forget about training it's enough to have the Force u can mind control and beat anyone as shown by Rey, the last fight was just boring prequels had better
This is definitely the worst SW movie… Expand
