It's true, all of it...

Rating: 1/10 (25 May 2016)

Did you already read the other one and two star reviews? Well. It's true, all of it. After the later Marvel movies, the Hobbit and even the Bourne Legacy I feared that the present Hollywood view on movie making would affect this new Star Wars movie too. The fear proved right. So what is this contemporary Hollywood view on movie making? Basically I would say that it targets an adolescent audience that get thrilled by spectacular visuals and explosions and that loves unbelievable superheroes. These two focuses make story lines, believable characters and human interaction of less importance. This we find back in The Force Awakens. There are plenty of explosions with a giant one in the end and there are superheroes that are unbelievably heroic. Teenagers will love it. Those having reached mental maturity however will surely miss character in the personages, human interaction and most of all a sensible story line. All this is missing in The Force Awakens. The first series was incredibly strong in the interaction of true characters and had a thrilling story line. In the second series the characters and interaction was less well developed but still had a thrilling story line. The Force Awakens has nothing of this. It is just pure flat violence with laser guns and flat charactered heroes. I dislike this Hollywood move towards making such movies so much I almost get desperate. But it's what the teens want and what Hollywood delivers them. Flat charactered superheroes that go violently 'bang bang boom boom' for an hour or two. I presuppose it will be a sort of video-game - movie crossover trend. First we got video-games that looked like movies and now we have movies that look like video-games. I don't know where this trend will take us, but I fear not where matured minds want to be. Details of this movie have been explicated enough. I just wanted to express my own disappointment about this movie. I lost my affinity with Star Wars. This is so sad. Ford, Fisher and Hamilton could have been legendary until long after they'll be gone. The lost much of this with their cooperation with this terrible video-game-movie.
