Unoriginal plot, characters, planets, space fighters, weapons, script ........ This movie makes the prequels look stunningly good.
You have already seen this movie before - in 1977! The original was enjoyable, this unfortunately is a predictable yawner. I actually fell asleep a various points because I knew that I wouldn't miss much.
It's tragic that this reboot has been wasted when both Rey and Finn pull off relatively good performances even if we have seen their characters before.
This is targeted at youth under 20. A re-introduction to Star Wars that will sadden and disappoint most die-hard fans.
If your over 20 years of age save your money and go see something else.
PS - Jurassic World suffers the same fate!
