    I was disappointed. The plot was almost identical as the first Star Wars. You have your mandatory death star... Oh it is about 100 times bigger but it has the same vulnerability and is attacked in the same manner. The fighter craft on both sides remain the same after 30 odd years. Harrison Ford ages well in looks and humour... the wookie... well is a wookie nothing changed there.

    You have cameo appearances of C3PO... difference? A red arm? Pointed out but pointless to the story. The new droid BB-8 is cute on the rollerball but R2D2 is dusted off for a couple of minute cameo. Much to do was made in the media as to how non-sexy Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa was in this movie... I'd like to see most women age better after 30 years... she looked fine to me and acted well.

    The main stars are Daisy Ridley as Rey and John Boyega as Finn and they acted their parts well... Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker is MIA... he gets a 20 second cameo shot at the end BUT he rates star status... really? I wonder how much he got paid for that short scene where I don't think he even moved.

    No... I was disappointed... the movie was little more than shoot'em fight scenes... 5 mins or so of dialog... more shoot'em ups... repeat, repeat, repeat.

    This is the highest grossing film of all time... the fans deserved better. Just as fans of Jurassic Park deserved better when they went to see Jurassic World... another rip off of the better movie.
