Romans did not have sign for 0

Rating: 2/10 (13 July 2016)

OK it is 2 for me. Nice effects. Indeed, long time ago in a galaxy far far away a good film had been shot.
The only excuse I have is that Disney has a new perspective on how these new installments should be done. Forget about magic, strange things happening (there is even a scene in the movie that is telling you almost exactly that), make many effects and tell the story directly from the paper as it is written in the script. I feel that actors were not acting, just reading the script all the time in the movie.
The scale of the movie is large. Everything is huge and enormously big, and somewhere that what makes a story has been lost. Every scene is totally obvious, I can almost feel the entire process of filmmaking in it. I can hear the words in the head of the scenarist before uttered by an actor. Totally unpolished, an actor's intentions are directed by the immediate next action. There is not a second of doubt, self-examination. Nothing. I could write the script... and it would be better. I would not write this script as it is now since I would have known how bad it is.
I was watching it and while I believed it had passed 10 minutes, it was actually 1 and a half hour already. I wondered what interesting could happen in the next 30 minutes. Nothing.
The guiding force of every single character in the movie is completely unrealistic and mostly plainly stupid. If you want that, then you should not try to give an ulterior motive at all. The movie is full of it. I am doing this because I... and then bam! a sentence that a 4- year old would notice as stupid and pointless.
Actually, I suspected something like this may happen.
The movie as a movie is pointless. The movie as a part of the franchise has lost its bearings. Completely and probably irrecoverably.
No, there is nothing in the movie that makes me smile when I see the old characters in it. Some things have unfamiliar distance and some are kind of familiar but have a weak emotional background. After 6 movies one has managed to create the feeling of things not being familiar?
Regarding the story itself, I beg you not to tell that story to your kids. It will reduce their IQ instantly.
Still, I can go to that galaxy far far away where, long time ago, a movie has been shot and watch the magic again.
Romans did not have 0 sign, but this movie should have that title because it is one big pompous nothing.
Disney, whatever the audience is saying, this is a pure crap top to bottom and you should feel its smell before trying another instance of the same.
And I blame Lucas, you simply cannot sell that treasure. I knew it, and I was right.
