I saw it last week, it was pretty good and I immediately watched the force awakens the next day to compare it to. The force awakens was garbage, even worse than any of the prequels were (I like the prequels for the most part though, unlike most).
I hope I never have to see 'Finn' again on a screen, he is such a bitch character. Actually I'd like to see him get cut in half by a lightsaber. An over dramatic white knighting little bitch. I was happy to see Rey refer to him as a friend when he clearly wants a piece of that.
Rey was a decent character though, and better than the female lead in R1 I thought. Usually I hate female leads portraying atypical behaviour and 'girl power' but the actress did a good job and played her role confidently. Would definitely hit. The male characters were pathetic though, with Han Solo even being killed off and bad guy looking like a high school nerd sans pimples. Seriously the guy was an ashton kutcher looking fella with dick lips. No homo.
The male leads in both films are shite, in fact I can't remember any of their names except the two in TFA. Actually, the characters in general were garbage; how do I know this? Because I can't fucking remember them even a week later.
I did however love the action scenes, the special effects were excellent. The plot was pretty good in R1 as well, despite a highly forgettable cast. I'd give it a 6/10 overall. I also like that a shit ton of the 'good guys' died, actually all of them pretty much. Thank god, I cant stand the stereotypical and unrealistic path movies take with this good and evil bullshit.
IF directors and writers actually gave a shit about developing meaningful characters rather than displaying aural and visual feasts in high definition, then MAYBE Hollywood would have a chance of returning to it's former glory.
