A terrible parody of Star Wars!

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2015)

What did I watch? The force awakens is dumbed down to the point it insults the viewers intelligence. Everything is impossibly convenient, it's kitsch and predictable far beyond nostalgia. It's plain boring. It's terribly directed and terribly written, by far the most unimaginative film I have seen this year. It's basically a far worse version of "A New Hope". It really felt like "pop" cinema, built from the ground up purely to please the masses and generate massive box office figures. It reminded me of one of those terrible soap opera Christmas specials where they invite cameo appearances from random celebrities and actors from other soaps and make cheesy jokes. It's quite remarkable they have made something so bad with the budget and cast they had access to, and of the back of such an appraised franchise. One to miss!
