Mindless, unoriginal action sci-fi for the uncritical masses

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2015)

Imagine they make a continuation for Lord Of The Rings. We would have a dwarf named Fride, working in a mine in the beautiful mountains, who would be then visited by a shaman called Gindolf, who would tell Fride, that an evil being called Saurator has risen to destroy every good thing in the world. Fride would find a necklace in the mine recognized from Gindolf as the powerful necklace that Saurator lost once. Fride now has to go to the ice lake, defended by Saurator's hordes of goblins. The necklace has to be brought to this lake, because it would scatter this necklace to pieces by it's cold. It took me half a minute to come up with this, and 5 minutes to write it down.
I mean if they continued Lord Of The Rings like this, it would be a joke, am I right? And now to Star Wars - The Force Awakens...
When I came out of the theater after watching Disney's new Star Wars episode (without knowing anything about it beforehand, I made an effort to being able to do so), my first reaction was, that I never had a movie experience before, which involved so much deja vu. Other critical commenters already explained this, and I just can confirm: this new offering is painfully unoriginal, it's just a compressed mess of episodes 4-6. If you went to see "The Force Awakens" because you were eager and excited about, how the story would continue, what would happen next: so if you wanted a new, magical story, then you had no choice, but to be left very disappointed. Even the prequels with all their faults were light years ahead of this simplistic nostalgia mosaic. I'm also a bit sick of some of the pro arguments claiming the movie was "such an eye-candy, gorgeous, beautiful". First: it wasn't, the look was very average. Second: I don't want to have sex with the movie, that's not why I watch movies in the first place. For that I choose humans, I'm not the cybersex type. For me the biggest strength of Star Wars has always been the story and the storytelling. The storytelling is non-existent. And even what seems to be the "story" itself, is really just recycled stuff. This movie experience made me so sad. For a not Star Wars movie, I would give this a 4 out of 10, for being lightly and shallowly entertained. For a Star Wars movie it is a 1 out of 10. It would have been better, if it hadn't been made at all. We already have enough bad fan-movies of Star Wars... Even better ones!
