Disney does it again

Rating: 3/10 (27 December 2016)

Let's start with an honest statement.I hated 'The Force Awakens'.It had very boring characters,the plot from 'a new hope' was basically recycled and even the much anticipated practical effects didn't save the day.In one word it was - boring. Now,let's move to 'Rogue One'.Many of the elements from 'The Force Awakens' repeat themselves - Boring characters,pointless action scenes and predictable plot.And one more thing that really upsets me is this - What about the Jedi? bash all you want the prequels but Lucas did try to move forward and go deeper exploring the Jedi/Sith/Force issue - for me,that's much more interesting then some dumb action scene of x wing shooting and spaceship or whatever.It seems to be intentional that somehow Disney is dumbing down 'Star Wars' and making it all about action,special effects and childish dialogues,sure,the dumb masses love it just like they love marvel movies because both are eye candy and give some superficial satisfaction to the senses...but what about the force? a master and a disciple relationship? some interesting characters like Palpatine from both trilogies or Yoda? nothing. just forget about that and let's distract you with some practical effects and nostalgic moments that will remind you of the glory days from the original trilogy.This just doesn't work for me and I can't really hope the next star movies will get any better as long as Disney are in charge.RIP star wars? most likely.
