A good reminder to not revisit the prequels or the original trilogy

Rating: 3/10 (30 October 2017)

Episodes four to six were... OK, if I remember right? I watched them as a kid but they were nothing too special, I never grew too fond of the Star Wars lore. I watched the episodes one to three when they appeared, and if I remember right, I liked them when I was a kid. They were loud and fun and suspenseful. Rewatching them few years ago made me realize that the prequel trilogy was mostly as horrible as people claim them to be.
With this to back everything up, I wasn't too enthusiastic to watch the hyped Force Awakens. It was hard to not make up my mind about the movie before even seeing it, the reception ranged from being a poor cash- grab remake of the original from the best movie ever.
I had to watch it. Well, start watching it. The movie is still playing when I type this review and it has been maybe the most annoying movie I've seen for a while.
Why does Finn break free from the Stormtroopers? What happened to the Clone Army? Why did they break Leia and Han up? Why does General Hux Weasley seem to be the most insecure military general in a movie ever? Could Rey be anymore annoying? Could Finn be anymore annoying? Could Kylo Ren be anymore annoying?
The movie made me realize one thing. I like DC movies because I love the comics. I acknowledge the flaws of recent DC movies (Suicide Squad was poor, Batman v Superman is a hard one to love). Watching The Force Awakens must be what it would be like to watch Batman v Superman without knowing and loving the lore. It would be horrible.
Watching this movie is almost unbearable, almost every character is annoying in some way. It almost feels like a race between the characters who can be the most illogical and annoying in the movie.
The movie just doesn't stop feeling like just another popcorn blockbuster which has been made a million times over and over. This could be called Transformers: The Spark Awakens. Just change everything related to Star Wars to Transformers and it could be a sequel to Age of Exctinction.
And instead of being praised, it would receive the reviews this movie should have received in the first place.
Boring, annoying and generic random late night snack flick.
