Insulting our intelligence

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2018)

Why insulting?

Almost every scene/situation in the movie is a perfect copy cat of a scene in episode 4/5/6, all of them scrambled together - no meaning left. This movie's budget is insane, yet the direction team got paid for doing nothing else than scrambling episode 4/5/6, mixing it and serving it cold like that with a few minor elements changed. To whoever produced that puking jelly - we don't ask much from you, just look at some good movie / tv shows like Dark Matter, Battle Star Galactica, chronicles of riddick and make something unique - venture at least 10% outside the episode 4/5/6. The original episodes gave a rich world, but don't focus on making the exact same movies with different actors & names, invent a bit, take a few risks!
The level of political correctness reached a level I didn't believe was possible in a movie. Why 'in the galaxy' do you feel like you need to have heroes of all skin colors, body sizes and genders just to please the average joe? This alone shows how depraved our modern society is.
Dialogs & the overall story would appeal to a 5 year old, but beyond that age you'll be thinking during the entire movie if there isn't more interesting things to do with your life than watching this movie, first time I ever think of leaving the cinema in my life!
Apart from one or two alien species, the episode 7 & 8 didn't bring a single interesting concept. Now when I look back at the episodes 1,2 & 3 I just find them marvelous in comparison, they weren't great but added at least a different view point in the galaxy by focusing on Anakin's childhood and we got pot racers, droid wars, ...
The plot is also a disaster, but I can't mention it without spoilers. If you haven't seen the movie yet, just get yourself a digital hacked copy online, don't encourage Disney to make another untasty mashed SW dish like this one, please.

Quite frankly I had very low expectations to begin with, but I managed to feel insulted nonetheless by the script & storytelling. The last opus was already a disgrace but I saw it as a necessary "adjustment" movie to bring onboard younger generations and thought the episode 8 would move forward and add to the franchise, I was wrong.
Actors, crew & special effect studios, my rating doesn't concern you - the movie looks great and lot of effort was put in making it a reality.
Between, I created an account on IMDB just to rate it, the anger is so strong with the Disney takeover I had to join the dark side. I'm not a die hard SW fan, but this kind of movie has to stop, it's really that bad.
