Relax, it's a kid's bedtime story

Rating: Null/10 (26 December 2019)

Star Wars was something special when I was a kid. It was something unseen until then, something that challenged the little mind's limits and expanded imagination beyond the boundaries of my mind's own galaxy. But mostly, it succeeded because it was a story for kids and I was a kid. Fast forward 35 years. I saw it again and nothing trembled inside me. The little smile on my face was more out of pity than some rekindled feeling of the great adventures I took upon in my made up kid's world. Let's be honest: the movie is clumsy, story is the same plane old "good vs evil", the plot has more holes than swiss cheese, acting is at a soap opera level at best,costumes are ridiculously pathetic and unconvincing and the dialog, boy, the dialog is the absolute worse. Grown men cannot and should not find that amusing let alone get upset over it. For God's sake, it's people with buckets on their heads shooting out of plastic guns! Then one day, the guy who created all this (and who made billions by doing it) sold it for even more cash to some morons who have every right to do whatever they please with it. And half the world got upset? People, we all have bigger problems and much more important things to worry about than poorly written bedtime stories and Hollywood hacks who pretend to save the universe while wearing helmets resembling the front grills of known auto makes. I mean, c'mon, now...
