Money making machine..

Rating: 1/10 (9 January 2016)

I bet the producers of this movie are now swimming in the rivers of cash very happy with the investment they made. And they have every right to do so. After all, they saw the opportunity and took it.
They consulted some charts made a few calculations and decided that it's a sure win. Wasn't even that hard with the millions of sheep *ahm* I mean fans, all over the world, so the hype came with little effort from the marketing department.
They hired probably the most commercial director right now, known to leave his audience thinking (actually confused and baffled), debating and arguing among themselves. And that it because he makes you believe that the plot (which I can compare it with a Swiss cheese) is so complex that you are too stupid to get it all (see Fringe, Lost, etc). In fact, it's nothing to get, it's just like the lights in a circus, meant to play with your brain.
Hey, kudos to him, I mean, after all everybody's gotta make a living.
Now, regarding the movie itself, as a stand alone movie (not part of the trilogy) it's maybe not that bad, maybe a 5/10 since it's the same old pew pew boom boom Hollywood CGI junk.
However, as a part of the trilogy it's bad, oh so bad. They took almost every piece of plot and memorable scenes from what made Star Wars great over the years and glued it together (and they didn't even glued it together properly because it's basically the same Swiss cheese).
So in a way I can understand why so many people like it. You cannot hate what you liked in the past.
