The only character I truly felt any empathy for was Chewie and that was probably because he was always my favorite character. Disney should stick with animated princess stories and leave SciFi for the big boys.
To each his or her own. I loved this Star Wars movie. May have to see it a third time before it leaves the Villages' theaters. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens*(2015) - Rotten Tomatoes

Director JJ Abrams was tough on his actors in this movies which may explain some lack of some of them seeming to enjoy their roles. A few of these actors are newcomers and that must be quite a challenge to meet expectations when cast in such a potential blockbuster which also has a huge fan base.
