For a movie that is really not intended to be family friendly and fun, I think it captures the dark and gritty rebellion against a fascist government pretty good actually. I liked it very much and can't wait to see part 2.
Also, to say it is nothing new is a bit too much, as there are very few movies or screenplays at large that do something completely new. I think this movie actually goes against many mainstream plots and arcs. Yes it is about a "saviour"/"rebel leader", but there are many movies that have this present across all genres. I think it is a bit harsh to call it a star wars rip-off, because then you should call all sci-fi movies either rip-offs of Star Trek or Star Wars.
