This movie was a total build up from the start and it just did not delivery anything. I can only compare this movie to the feeling of purchasing something you can barely wait for on amazon and once the package arrives its an empty box. I'll give the good first. A lot of pew pew blaster action, good space dog fights, acting was very good (espically the villain Kylo Ren), graphics were great and the scenes did a decent job of making it feel star wars like. Now a few bad, horrible plot (bad story to the 10th power!), TONS of questions and no answers, very few light saber fights, and lightsaber fights were bad, slow action clearly showing the actors amateur skills handling a melee weapon. Okay minor plot spoilers coming up but nothing drastic since you find this out in classic opening crawl text. "The First Order" is an offspring of the Sith and is the new power, rebels are resisting The First Order lead by Leia, and Luke is nowhere to be found. Really Luke Skywalker the Jedi Master cannot be found? The explanation they give in the movie is total crap. This movie is set 30 years after Return Of The Jedi and after defeating the Empire in that movie the resistance have made no progress in restoring any type of order in the galaxy because The First Order is clearly in power. The movie starts off nearly identical to episode 4 A New Hope and seemed to xerox copy a few big plots from that movie and try to do it better (which they fail). Movie is a "C" however if you are looking for some blaster fights and space combat with no real star wars connection you might enjoy it however! Star Wars fans will be supremely disappointed!
