It felt like a prequel movie with more action and a very similar plot to EP:4.
Some parts I didn't like: Finn. How does a man raised to kill without mercy suddenly become the funniest guy in the galaxy (especially in life or death moments)? I had a feeling there would be a forced romance, and there was. I didn't really like the Supreme Leader or whatever his name was. The lightsaber fight was awful. It was so dark you couldn't see any emotion in the characters faces. And they zoomed in way too much. I liked the shock baton storm trooper much better. The plot was so copied from EP:4 that they even had a random old guy get killed in the beginning. The way they explained Luke made no sense. After he saved the galaxy, he tried to teach Kylo Ren, and since that didn't work, he ragequit the galaxy? A lot of the dialogue was corny and predictable, as was Scavenger Scum's force "awakenings" against Kylo Ren.
Kylo Ren was easily the best part about the movie. He wasn't just some Sith Lord jobber (sorry Dart Maul), he actually was interesting because he was trying to fill granddad's shoes. Kylo even mimicked his helmet, which was a nice touch. Scavenger scum was ok.
