Star Wars: The Force Awakens

3/5 and I am being generous. Acting good, plot wobbly.

Actually, I feel I am being mean because I loved Finn, Ray and Pilot Boy, but, to quote a friend, I liked this film a lot more when it was called A New Hope.

Some more spoilery thoughts about The Force Awakens

Yes, I am a bitter old Star Wars fan who read the books. And I don’t mind that they decanonised the Expanded Universe, mostly because of a variety of things that happened in it that I refuse to acknowledge.

That being said ( (spoilers for the EU and for the Force Awakens) )
