Utter rubbish

Rating: 4/10 (8 June 2017)

One would have had to live under a rock all their lives to have not seen Star Wars: A New Hope (1977), which begs the question: why are they remaking it here? And, as is almost the case of any remake, it pales in comparison to the original. This episode lacks the pacing, the pathos, the rawness, the acting and the excitement of the first; it is dull, recycled, predictable garbage done half as well.
Instead of the producers quite obvious motivation to reintroduce the franchise to a new generation, they've succeeded in alienating the very audience that gave the franchise it's legs. So much fails in this movie: from rehashed plot to abject failure in creativity (such as developing the technologies of the stated future this movie inhabits or creating interesting new characters), I can't help but describe this whole waste of an effort in one word: LAZY. Thoroughly disappointing for any who are a fan of the original and a cookie cutter action film for any new audience.
