I am not feeling the force here

Rating: 3/10 (18 December 2015)

If it is true that with the prequels George Lucas raped our childhood, with The Force Awakens Disney and JJ Abrams slew it and then had sex with its corpse. It is all very competent technically, but the plot is so goofy and over the top that anybody trying to make a spoof out of it will fail miserably. Rather than bringing anything new to the table, the film is more interested in mapping a "new" canon for gender and racial diversity politics that seem totally forced not to mention unnecessary in a galaxy far far away; among its other major sins it also introduces a rotten third act reveal, a lame send-off of a beloved character and a ridiculous cliffhanger of an ending that could qualify one certain actor for the briefest Razzie award worthy performance on record.
