The Force Awakens was definitely enjoyable. I loved the new characters (and the old) and I loved the use of practical effects. All of the actors did a phenomenal job and you can tell everyone really cared about this franchise.
However.... The copy and pasting of most of A New Hope's plot points was a bit too much. It made the film too predictable in some parts. I loved how Rey was a strong female heroine but there were times it she felt a bit.... too perfect? Her ability to use a lightsaber and mind tricks when she JUST realized she could access the force was pretty unbelievable. And although Kylo Ren obviously hadn't finished his training and wasn't the perfect Sith, there still should've been no way she beat him so easily. I also wish we had gotten to see more of Captain Phasma and Poe Dameron.
