********** SPOILERS ALERT *********************
The first 15 minutes or so were good, mystery and intrigue aplenty and we were back in Tatooine.
I was starting to think that Disney have pulled it off ( how wrong I was) .
Then my interest suddenly began to wain, despite seeing new views of the Falcon, Han and Chewie, C3P0 and Leia.
I think it was the new characters including the boxy clunky looking stormtroopers, the worst and least convincing sith lord of all the films he was so laughable and even worse when he took his helmet off. Rey and the renegade stormtrooper were very poor too - they should be in Harry Potter films.
As the film began to unfold I kept on thinking 'this seems familiar' then I realised about 75% of the ideas of Ep IV are in this new film. By the time we got to Luke I had my coat and was just preying for the credits to roll….
Looking at reviews it seems to me that anyone under the age of 20 seems to think that Awakens is the greatest of all the SW films and that irritates me even more. I might send a warning shot across the bows and ask for a refund off Disney.
My rating for this film is 3/10 and the worst of the SW films, I'm devastated, but least I have my Blu Ray player.
