Darth Disney strikes again!

Rating: 4/10 (13 July 2017)

This is just another movie which is suffering from "Fast and Furious" syndrome. You don't really need a plot or a story of any kind. As long as you have mindless action for no reason and lots of flashy bits then the masses will be entertained like mindless children. I am a life long Star Wars fan and I when I saw this movie, it made me hate the original movies. Hell, even John Williams knew the movie sucked which is reflected in the soundtrack. Everything that the Rebels accomplished in the original trilogy was wasted. It meant absolutely nothing because in J.J. Abrams movie, nothing is different. Nothing has changed. Luke should have rebuilt the Jedi order by now but after one failure he apparently says "Screw it! I'm done!" The only reason this garbage pile of a film got so many good ratings on sites like Rotten Tomatoes is due to the fact that Disney hyped it up as much as they could, precisely to do that - to have all the casuals and Pro-Disney fanboy drones sit there drooling while they "oohed and aahed!" at all the new & shiny CGI with the SW logo lazily slapped on it. Many casuals and Pro-Disney fanboys like to say, "B-b-but it got good ratings on RT so, it's a good movie!" yet they ignore the fact that public opinion of this film has changed from "all-positive" to mostly mixed or bad opinions now. They conveniently like to pretend that everyone still feels the same about this film when in reality, most people have woken up from their hype-induced coma and are now seeing this film for what it really is - a poor man's, watered down rehash of 'A New Hope' with scattered bits of the other OT films scattered in there and bits and pieces from the EU novels sprinkled on top to fool all the casuals and fanboys into believing that it was "new & original" material.﻿ There are too many "fans" for a Star Wars sequel to fail. Fans will blindly defend their brands, and like Stockholm Syndrome will continue defending them when exposed to the truth. Disney knew this going into the deal. And worst of all the "geeks" will compulsively buy anything licensed with their brand. So you can either have a new movie without a geek fan base to reap money off, or buy a huge fan base to exploit, and that's what Disney did. They saw The Hunger Games female action chick trend, and used Star Wars as their Hunger Games clone.﻿ Massive plot holes large enough to hide an aircraft carrier, poor script writing, painfully repetitive plot, unfunny comedic moments... The list goes on and on. The difference between me and other people who've said the same thing is I won't be watching Episodes 8, 9,10 where the majority of you will still give Disney your money.﻿ To be honest, I would rather watch a Jar Jar Binks movie directed by George Lucas than to see another J.J.Abrams monstrosity.﻿
