Script review - "The Force Awakens" by JJ Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan

I liked this a lot less as a read than as a film - so much of it's pleasures as a film for me came from seeing how they brought back Leia, Luke, Han, Chewis, C3PO, R2, the Falcon. That's not as good on screen.

Kylo Ren is a strong character as is Rey. The stuff around them is good. Finn has an interesting-ish journey. Poe feels like a nothing.

The First Order being villainous and activated again feels like reheating food - which I guess a lot of this was. It was a good film - I'm just becoming more aware of its faults.
