Unimaginative ripoff of the original trilogy

Rating: 2/10 (16 December 2015)

OK, let's start by stating the obvious: JJ Abrahams sucks. He ruined the Star Trek universe, he help script Armageddon (yikes)... He is one of the worst, mot generic Hollywood junk food pusher there is. George Lucas might have turned insane at some point, but he was a TERRIFIC filmmaker when he made Star Wars, and a true film scholar. The amount of creativity that went into making his original trilogy is perhaps still unsurpassed in film history.
When Disney bought the franchise, people were concerned, the prequel trilogy was unwatchable but would Disney simply turn in into a generic Hollywood film series, diluting its magic and uniqueness.
Well, now we know, and the answer is a resounding YES.
They took a crap filmmaker and a bunch of unimaginative people and asked them "How can we make this more like the old ones, the ones people liked?"
"Huh... we... a... we need a droid being taken by scavengers on a desert planet and... a Boba Fett like guy, and a snow planet and a forest planet and..."
I mean seriously, the whole film feels like a complete remake of the original trilogy! Oh, with some really clichÃ©d battle scenes or jokes here and there...
The special effects are well made yes, but they were well made in Godzilla too, I mean who cares, that's not what this is supposed to be about.
Watch the despecialized version of the old ones and forget about everything Star Wars that came after, including this one.
