One of my greatest cinematographic disappointments

Rating: 4/10 (2 February 2016)

So. I was under the impression, that this was supposed to be a sequel, not a remake. It markets itself as a sequel, so there is no reason to think of it as a reboot. Yet the plot and the characters were recycled from the old movies.
A Darth Vader wannabe, with a plan from ep. IV, a re-gendered Luke with god mode powers turned on, female Yoda 2.0, etc. Whole scenes were remade. The plot was copy-pasted and yet they somehow managed to make it inconsistent. The characters were terribly profiled. I found storm trooper kid totally laughable. Over-powered Rey was just the icing on this disgusting cake. The acting was terrible, but even Orson Welles couldn't make these fan-fic level characterizations work.
This movie is beyond unoriginal. It is just saddening how well received this over-hyped piece of crap was. It makes me think that it's enough to tell people what they're supposed to like, to give some money to reviewers and everything's gonna be OK for you.
A disappointing movie in itself and as a cultural phenomenon. One of my greatest cinematographic disappointments. Then again: makes me appreciate the prequels just a little bit more. Although they were terrible movies, they brought tons of new stuff to the table. I can't think of anything original, this movie has brought, and lemme tell you: IT FEELS FRIGGIN' DEPRESSING! Is this ENOUGH for movie-goers and critics? THIS?! I hate this movie with all of my heart, but I can't bring myself to give it less than 4/10, because it is technically well made. On a very crude technical level... Even with 4/10 though, I never quite hated any movie like this one. I hate it with a passion. Been giving people thumbs up merely for hating it because I think that it's got far too much praise. It ran one of the most original franchises into stale, unoriginal, politically correct derivative waters.... God I hate this movie so much, along with everything it represents, it makes me wanna cry.
