The good

-The visuals. I thought the movie looked good from a visual standpoint.

-The girl. I thought she had potential. She can be a good character going forward

Daisy Ridley killed it as Rey. She was awesome.

The Bad

-The plot. Did they just rehash the original? Were they trying to make it obvious? All the way till the last scene in blowing up the new Death Star (or whatever it was called).

-The black dude. As good as I thought the girl was, he provided nothing though. It got to a point where I just didn't want him to speak anymore (cue the racist remarks). His dialogue with the girl was cringe-worthy from the get-go. Too many one liners and hokey jokes.

-Harrison Ford. It's obvious he hasn't done anything in a while. His acting was just bad IMO.

I can understand some of the gripes about the plot; it wasn't wholly original. However, what they did was intentional. It brought people back to the "Star Wars" they knew and loved. Made the fans feel comfortable. But it was different enough to not be a complete rehash. It is undeniable that this FELT like a "Star Wars" movie compared to those prequel films. And as far as Death Stars go, yeah, it's kind of lame...but let's not act like the military doesn't keep making the same weapons just making them bigger and more modern. I mean, how boring is it that they still use planes and aircraft carriers? Don't they know we saw all of that back in the '40s...

Boyega definitely took a little getting used to, but he did improve as the film went on. Didn't mind him nearly as much on my second viewing.

Ford was probably done with this character back in 1983. Didn't he want to be killed off back then? He got better at being Han as the movie went on.

The Ugly
-Princess Leia, the years have not been kind to you sweetheart . It's hard to act when your face can't show any expressions due to plastic surgery. Harrison Ford probably had a contingency before coming back that he would not have a kissing scene with her again.

-The Villain. At first you think this guy has potential. A second coming of Vader? Not exactly, but he seemed worthy.....SEEMED being the key word. My god, how they completely fricked that up. Did they think having a whiny little teenage brat as a villain would work? What a little cry baby bitch that guy was. I can't think of a worse villain in a major movie.

Time is not kind to anyone. Fisher, I believe, has had some mental issues. Medication can frick a person up. It was hard to watch her scenes, but can you imagine the outcry had she not been brought back?

The gripe about Kylo Ren just makes me think you're a little stupid and need things to be painted for you in black and white.
