1.Lazy writing 2.blatant copy of Original trilogy
Jar-Jar Abrams had George Lucas scripts and stories from Expanded Universe,but he and Disney took an easy path that led to the "Dark side" No creativity,no message,no spirituality,no experimental approach to this amazing universe made this movie not what i wanted to be. Only thing i liked was Han Solo-Kylo's relationship that sets tone Star Wars always had-family drama.Other Characters were disappointing,even Rey who should have been girl-Luke,but instead of complex character we have got Mary-Sue baddass. Master Jedi in disguise who without training defeats trained Sith and Luke's former apprentice,uses mind trick that only Jedi masters can use.Another Death Star plot was huge slap to my face.I literally Facepalmed myself during that moment.This movie made me realise how great prequels are even though execution of this film is better than prequels. Experimental and innovative work of George Lucas that condenses major philosophies,religions,spirituality,psychology into one Epic Saga started with episode I(yes!!) and ended with Episode VI.If Episode VIII will be same parody of Original trilogies,we may say that Star Wars is officially ruined.

Star Wars became popcorn flick and that is sad
Very good compared to the past
The force awakens was a very enjoyable movie for the average star wars fan. New viewers of the series will also probably enjoy the movie. The movie critics if the world that look for something new and innovating will hate this movie. This movie is a close replica of the first star wars movie in a couple ways. If you were to summarize The Force Awakens and A New Hope at the same time you would recognize how similar they are. Now for star wars fans that isn't the worst thing in the world because it is refreshing to see new faces and things from the old movies that all is star wars fans love. The only disappointing result of this movie is the company making the best and most complex character of the movie a big cry baby everywhere you see him. Even in the Disney World park Kylo Ren throws fits. It's truly disappointing to see the downplay of such an interesting character.
After Many Years of Waiting, This is the Star Wars Film you are Looking For...
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens is directed by former Star Trek director J.J. Abrams and focuses around a scavenger (Daisy Ridley), a runaway stormtrooper (John Boyega) and the former war hero Han Solo (Harrison Ford) as they search for the key to destroying the newly-formed First Order, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). Overall, I am a huge Star Wars fan who knows quite a thing or two about the franchise (not to brag). When I first found out about this film being under production, I was very excited, yet nervous as Star Wars films have had their bad days. Now, after two years of reflecting on the film, I think I am finally ready to get my opinion out there.
Pros: When watching this movie for the first time, I noticed that the cinematography in this was very different from the Prequel Trilogy. It gave you this feeling that every second screamed adventure and did not feel so contained and dull like the Prequel Trilogy. For example, this movie contains a lot of quick pan overs that were frequently used during the more exciting scenes. Yet, this movie knows when to stop using those when, for example, there is character development going on, which is another huge plus in this movie. The chemistry between all of these characters is great and, as a viewer, I did not dislike any character in the movie and enjoyed everyone in it. I especially enjoyed the main villain in this movie, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), whomst I feel is very underrated as a villain in this universe. The character himself is not your tipical Star Wars villain like Darth Vader or Darth Revan, but is torn between doing good or being a servant to Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis). Otherwise, I enjoyed every single character, whether it be Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron, Max Kanata or Kylo Ren, who is a fresh breath of air for Star Wars antagonists themselves.
Cons: This film, although an enjoyable one, does suffer from a few plot flaws. Many people have been bashing the movie's plot for being a total rehash of the original Star Wars. Although the plot was somewhat of a rehash, it wasn't a bust for me at all, although I felt that it did take it to far at points. The prime example of this is Starkiller Base. This is probably one of the laziest things I have seen in a Star Wars film as it feels like a plot point that doesn't quite fit into the story itself, which focuses around finding Luke Skywalker. In other words, it does not have that feeling of importance that the Death Star had in the original Star Wars as that was a huge focus for that plot. Overall, Starkiller Base is just another lazy attempt at making yet another super weapon and is of little significance to the story. Although people may have found other cons to this movie, I personally did not find anything really worth pointing out in this review that is terrible. I think everything else was well done in this movie, whether it be the CGI or the battles, and it surely did entertain me as a whole.
Final Verdict: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens definitely brought audiences back to a galaxy far, far away in a safe, yet great way that was very much faithful to the original Star Wars trilogy. I have to say that J.J Abrams did a great job with this movie and, although making some mistakes like Starkiller Base, was solid overall and I do suggest seeing it before Star Wars Episod VIII: The Last Jedi comes out later this year.
