Reviews

Normally I like to write reviews on IMDb to push up some ratings & give some merit for movies I like. Rarely I come here to show my disappointment for a particular movie and that's what The Force Awakens makes me feel.

They took up nearly 12 years to write out this?? I mean what we have not seen before about the father v/s son relationship, a 99% similar to death star planet destroying weapon, a young villain deciding whether to choose the dark side,a new Jedi learning her/his skills.. (within a few seconds she is controlling minds too lol!), a final battle 99% similar to the final battle that Luke does in Episode 4 New hope. Oh lord, many scenes and dialogues were as if copied from Episode 4.

Star wars was always about planets, worlds, surprising creatures, amazing battles, thrilling lightsaber confrontations, droids like R2D2 and C-3PO doing humour and completing missions not to forget the great visuals and special effects we had from Episode 5 , 6 and 1,2,3. Specially the great battle inside the volcano between Anakin & Obiwan.

Alas, The Force Awakens falls short in many ways. Nothing great comparing special effects, worlds, creatures, bots, poor Snoke vs Ray fight scene as if two teenagers fighting in the woods. Am I watching Twilight lol? Where's the intensity? Snoke appears a poor villain & sucks! Adding to that the father mother son sister relationship appearing like those Indian TV series melodrama. Hopefully movie belongs to Ray in some scenes. No humour between the droids. You cant compare with Revenge of the Sith and definitely not with the level of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

The Magic is gone. Even Star Trek movies appear much more exciting and innovative now. JJ why you gave your best to Star Trek and ruin the Star Wars franchise. How am gonna watch 2 similar movies in the same franchise (4 and 7)? 12 years to select such a boring script!!
