**SPOILERS**
not really, but sort of. I really don't want to ruin it for anybody. There's a lot i liked but overall I have to be honest, I'm disappointed. Paying homage to the original trilogy is one thing, but this was a bit much. Every plot twist seemed to be recycled from ep 4-5-6. Some scenes were just overkill. It had its moments, but a whole lot of lost opportunities for real drama, real connections with the audience. Some stuff just flat out bugged me, the mask coming off so early, Carrie Fisher's acting.... Luke not giving the movie the warm shot of nostalgia we all deserved? Well at least he had a beard.
I know, it is what it is, its Disney, its Abrams, its a new generation, i am aging and crusty. But it certainly failed to strike a chord with the original SW fan in me, and i'd be surprised if it did for any of the kids out there. A cool sci-fi action flick. Did you know "Point Break" is also coming out next year? Sigh.
