Bewildered.

Rating: 1/10 (21 December 2015)

What can be said for this movie...
Predictable, boring, unoriginal and to top it off a HUGE dollop of cringe from the casting. I am absolutely bewildered by the whole experience. What has bewildered me further is that people are spending money to see it for a second time...
Abrams has pretty much stolen your money. He has stolen the plot and simply AMERICANISED IT! BIGGER isn't always better... It made the movie entirely predictable from scene to scene. The acting was... uncomfortable. Daisy Ridley? She should consider another career. Her performance was so bad, it extended beyond the limits of comedy.
Adam Driver? You could flick him and he would probably cry. Hayden Christensen reincarnated as even whinier.
This embodiment of female strength appearing in movies is getting irritating. Daisy Ridley? Without prior training, understanding or comprehension is somehow able to defeat a Sith Lord, even if he was whiny, this was ridiculous.
The characters, after spending a total of 5 minutes of screen time together were acting as if they had known each other all their lives. The connections between characters was well non existent. There was no emotion what so ever. I actually become so irritated with Ridley that I began routing for Driver to take her out and then put himself out of his misery.
The only conclusions I have come to that can allow me to understand why people are rating the movie so high are:
They have been paid to do so.
The Star Wars fans (bless their souls) were longing so much for the Star Wars rebirth of their dreams that they crossed the boundary of sanity. To be honest I would love to be able to lie to myself and believe that Star Wars hadn't been shat on not once but TWICE, but I just can't.
