Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) by Sean R — 18 Dec 2017

Really wanted to like this and had high hopes. I even dragged my girlfriend to the cinema and hoped that she would be interested in Star wars after seeing it. Just a mediocre rip-off of A new hope. Poorly written lead characters.

The plot focuses a lot on Rei which is overpowered and has a really bland personality. She is just uninteresting and boring to follow. Finn is a useless sidekick that ruins the mood and tension with to much slapstick.

I get the feeling that a lot of people don't like the movie but pretend they do because its a female lead character. It was nice to see Han Solo, Chewie and Leia though. Obvious cash grab and highly overrated unlike the Rogue One which I think is underrated.
