    Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens

    I will give this movie a 6/10 in accordance to it being a Star Wars movie.

    Oh, such a disappointment. I literally had no expectation with this one. The movie was average at best. Let me explain.

    This is Star Wars and this one is supposedly in the future. Yet, there is no cool new droid, no amazing spacecraft, there is no spectacular planet with a jaw-dropping scenery, not many new aliens and technology wise, there is nothing new. Basically, no WOW factor.

    Now, about that "plot". The story is recycled. You've seen that movie 20 years ago with better actors. Some young female stranded on a crap planet discovers out of the blue she can control the force. A stranded droid on a deserted planet containing some hidden message for the Alliance. A weapon able to destroy planets... boring.

    The action : oh, how disappointed I was about the fighting. The lightsaber fights look like nothing more than teenagers having some silly fight with fake swords. Again... this is Disney. I was expecting Jedi stuff, I was served Nickelodeon stuff.

    I was expecting much more from Kylo Ren (this is not a spoiler... everybody knows that stuff) but he turned out to be nothing more than an angry teenager wannabe with daddy issues. The dude cannot even fight properly. A spoiled brat. But then, this is Disney. It sure does explain the 10 mins Disney advertisements prior to the screening. To my amazement, I laughed at the bad guy for he is a joke.

    All in all, this is a step up from the last 3 movies staring Nathalie Portman and the guy playing Anakin. The problem is, it's all déjà vu, and playing the nostalgia card just won't do it this time around. I'm not even going to discuss the ending, or if you can even call that an ending.
