Painfully dumb!

Rating: 1/10 (3 January 2016)

This is not about making movies anymore, and certainly not about good story telling, or good acting, or anything good. This is all about HYPE, like the latest Bond movies, Star Trek, and whatever Hollywood is dishing out these days. Disney is nothing more than an attraction Park for kiddies and their parents who have to go along for the necessary photo albums. I won't repeat what has already been said, but yes the movie is awesome as a bottom feeder in cinema history. The one star I'm giving it is in compassion for the actors who tried their best to do something with the absence of a script. Sometimes, you can say ''it could have been better''... but not with this one. There is nothing in there for Rey to salvage. All junk not even worthy enough to feed yourself. I'm old enough to remember seeing the original Star Wars in a cinema, the joy and excitement I felt, nearly all of us science fiction fans felt at the time. Waiting in line to enter the cinema, it dawned on me that almost none of the people waiting were born in 1977. Such a pity there was nothing exciting to see or feel for them like we did then. Some have talked about nostalgia. But this thing is not about nostalgia, it's about harvesting the most money possible with hype and trailers and nothing else.
Edit:
Reading comments from others that did like the film so much that they feel compelled to defend it from us 'trolls', let me simply say that I can make my own mind on a movie, that I don't need someone to chew it up for me before I go see it or don't. I went in for SW7 with an open mind and a new hope for a really new dazzling SW. Instead, I saw a rehash of old SW movies, no originality whatsoever and really nothing worth sh*t. Some people characterized it as a reboot, or even a Tribute. Tributes are something we see on TV along with 65 car commercials we're usually not interested in. And after six SW movies and more than 30 years waiting, I was hoping for a trilogy that would out stellar the first one. If a number of people are willing to settle for that, for a vapid plot with a Sith Lord that can't control himself and Luke Skywalker stuck up a mountain because he decided he failed as a teacher of the Force, it's perfectly fine with me. Imagine if people on our own planet reacted the same after a failure in their life, there would not be a single mountain top left without a hermit. I didn't want a reboot or a tribute when I walked in the cinema, a wanted a new, I mean new SW, and that's not what I got, hence my acute disappointment and that of many, many others. One last thing, I liked Daisy Ridley as Rey and certainly hope to see her in other movies. I've got some good feelings about her.
