Dumb Movie For DUMB PEOPLE!

Rating: 1/10 (20 December 2015)

I saw this movie last night, went out of cinema utterly disappointed, and then I saw this DUMB movie has such high rating hereon IMDb?! I mean, common, how can such a dumb, at-best-average movie have such high rating??? Well, of course, there are paid bots to up vote any c.... coming out of Hollywood these days, and these are many, many, many... Actually, I can't remember when was the last time I watched an smart and inspired movie?! Well, that's how low, miserable and CGI/Fake the Hollywood has become! With that being clear, I'll jump onto the actual review of this DUMB movie.
So, where to begin? Oh, yes, J.J. Abrams! That guy is just incapable of making anything good, but he's the master in creating average, half-ass-ed movies a tone. Almost every of his movies is just full of plot holes, dumb lines, rushed pieces, bad tie-ins, etc. Honestly, I think he's the closest equivalent of now legendary idiot, Mr. Michael Bay. Both of these guys made in the past some nice movies, but their latest works are just long video game trailers without any lead or direction! So, what's this average and a bit dumb director done this time?

First, this movie is a complete rip off of the episode IV - A New Hope. You have death star (bigger this time, but easier to destroy completely), you have almost identical X wing fighter battles with imperial fighters, you have son of main character as the Sith Lord, while in the episode IV you have a father of main character as the Sith Lord, you have main character living miserably on a sand planet, etc. The similarities are many, you'll figure them all easily.
>>>>HUGE SPOILERS FROM NOW ON<<<<
Now, I'll try to make a short list of bad things in this movie, if that's possible anyhow... The storm trooper Finn. The only purpose of this character is to save the best pilot the Republic has. After that, this character is pointless, annoying, scared, cowardly, etc. He is a bit like Jar Jar Binks, and we all know this type of character is doomed to death. Well, it would have been much better if they just killed him off in the end. It would at least give him an emotional impact. But, alas, he survives - for what reason, I don't know. He will probably become new super pilot or Han Solo 2.0. Speaking of Han Solo, this favorite character is just destroyed with no real purpose. It is one of the most predictable and anticlimactic death scenes of an iconic character - man, what where they thinking while filming this? Probably nothing, it was more like, let's do it, it will work anyway!
Than we have sleeping R2D2, who suddenly woke up in an desperate moment (because it's the robot with feelings and emotions), just to reveal it has the majority of the map to Luke Skywalker?! Seriously? They could locate Luke by this large portion of the map only, but no, we need that tiny part from BB-8 because we are DUMB, and R2D2 is somehow drunk or sleepy. Than, Finn fighting the Sith Lord (who is so mad btw, that he will destroy his computer out of rage - SO DUMB) with light saber!!! I mean, why Kyle Reno just doesn't use his force and take that sword out of his hand??? But, no, for the sake of dramatic they need to fight, and than that dumb storm trooper, who run away from a girl with the stick (yeah, that's right!), almost kills the Sith Lord?! My brain hurts!!! And than that girl Rey destroys that same Sith Lord without any Jedi training?! Man, I could go on and on with this, the list is quite long!
However, there are some good things about this movie too. Alas, they're rare :sigh: As expected, the CGi is marvelous, it has become the standard in the new Hollywood movies. Make sure we have excellent special effects, then write story to make them visible as much as possible! That's modern Hollywood philosophy, I guess. Also, it's nice to see a few of dear old characters back (Han, Leia, Luke), but their impact on the movie as a whole is rather minimal. The Sith Lord Kyle Reno is actually menacing in the beginning of the movie, but that first impression fell apart later on. There are some nice shots of locations which reminded me of the old movies. Some nice humorous touch here and there too, and that's unfortunately it...
I'm so sad about this DUMB movie! It could have easily being a success, but unfortunately in the wrong hands everything can spoil. It was the same scenario as with The Hobbit franchise. They had it all, good and loved characters, money, time to make good and smart script, etc... However, they decided to go the modern way, the way of mighty CGI! Who needs brain, when we have CGI? Such a shame! In the end, I'll give this movie 1/10, not because it's that bad (it's more like 4-5/10), but because this official rating here is very inappropriate! Go, see this movie, but lower your expectations significantly, only that way you'll kind of enjoy it!
