A New Hope Redux

Rating: 1/10 (23 December 2015)

First of all I don't see how this movie's rating so high. Must be twenty somethings who never saw the original trilogy and thought the special effects in this movie were awesome. Which they were, that is why I gave the movie a 5. The story is lacking. Like one person said in a review I read, "Do the bad people in the galaxy have an ACME 'Build a DeathStar quick' kit laying around? How could something this big be built by remnants of the Empire, without the Republic knowing about it? Can JJ Abrams write? Didn't he do the same thing in Star Trek II: Into Darkness? Just took the plot from an original movie, rehash the same story, and add CGI with the same characters in a different time line? I kept up with a few of the books after the events of Return of the Jedi and JJ Abrams just throws them out as though it never happened and in turn creates a new time line. It would have been nice to see Admiral Thrawn come to life.
If you wanna know how the second movie coming in 2017 is going to turn out, then watch "The Empire Strikes Back". I bet it's going to be the same concept except different characters, planets and systems.
Hey Kylo Ren, what are you going to say to Rey? "Han never told you what happened to your brother...No I am your brother!" Bottom line...Wait until the movie comes out on Blu-Ray. I got a feeling when this movie does come out on disc, they will put in a on a 4k disc to promote 4k players.
Oh and by the way this movie is too politically correct for all the liberals out there. Too much if you ask me. On a lot of websites, I notice that two of the characters allegedly may have more than a bromance relationship going on. Shove something else down my throat I don't wanna see. Next two movies that come out, I'm waiting on redbox.
