The Force Awakens sucks! *MAJOR SPOILERS*

[cura]

I started out liking the movie but hated it by the end. I was pretty disappointed with how the story unfolded and particularly how the movie ended. I remember Luke Skywalker speaking in one of the trailers so I thought that he would actually have something to say in the actual movie -- of course by the end of the movie I didn't think he was going to say a lot but was surprised that he didn't even utter a word... also related to his 'exile'... how exactly does he survive from from a day to day basis (i.e., food, shelter, social connections etc) -- is he meant to be meditating the whole time? Does he know what has transpired since his departure... I definitely think the story (including the characters) needed to be fleshed out more... 

I also thought the lightsaber sequence at the end was a huge disappointment... At least from the first scene of the movie, it appeared that Ren was quite powerful... however, it didn't make sense (and still doesn't) that he was so easily beaten by someone who has never used a lightsaber before. I understand he is injured but I'd rather they exclude the light saber sequence completely than show what looked like a couple of kids play fighting.... I really enjoy the light saber scenes in past movies and had high expectations for a great action sequence at the end (I can remember thinking to myself... maybe Luke will all of a sudden show up and we can see some proper action lol) but that didn't eventuate and so it left me feeling pretty disappointed. 

I did enjoy the first act of the film, and mostly liked the fan service to the previous movies, as well at the new Rey, Fin, Poe and the new droid so that's a positive... I also liked how the protagonist of the series only emerged in the final third of the film (although it seemed a little far fetched 'the force' came so easy to her...). It still wasn't enough to make up for everything else though lol
