This film was a huge disappointment to me. Here's why:
1) CHARACTERS
Rey - An obvious Mary Sue. Mary Sue characters are BORING. There's a reason they are so passionately argued against by lovers of great storytelling.
Finn - Paper thin. He has zero depth. Maybe one of the most boring Star Wars main characters of all time.
Kylo Ren - A sissy. He was not a compelling villain in any sense of the term. I liked Darth Maul better and he had barely more than 10 mins of screen time in The Phantom Menace.
2) STORY
Completely Unoriginal - I felt like they cut and pasted the story elements from the first three films to make this script.
3) PLOT
What's the Plot? - They're trying to find Luke. Honestly, I can't even remember why now. Then they have to destroy another death star. :YAWN:
It makes me sad that this film is doing so well at the box office. I hate to see mediocrity so well rewarded.
