Worst Movie Ever Made

Rating: 1/10 (18 December 2017)

But for the love of god, the new Star Wars movies are some of the worst crimes to cinema I have ever seen. What happened to good story telling and characters you care about? What happened to character development that actually made you feel like there was something to go along with? How much more are we going to take of this before we just say that enough is enough?
I genuinely hate what Disney has done with Star Wars. This was a series that throughout 4 decades became more than just 6 simple movies. They became a different world and a different set of mythology that you can actually be able to get invested in. Even episodes 1, 2, and 3 had a story to them that showed how Anakin became evil and Obi Wan when he was in his prime as well as the republic before it fell to the wayside and there was a message of political corruption that few films actually had the balls to attempt to show. These are movies that get better with age, the prequels, because the older that they get, the more that they show everything that is wrong with the modern day system of politics and while Lucas doesn't really show what is correct and true to history, he is actually smarter than people give him credit for because he actually must have been paying more attention to the current political scene as we will probably see something like those movies be attempted in the future years, if they have not been already and he was able to point out the problems with democracy and how the politicians never really cared about anything besides their pockets. He didn't predict the future, he was just there to notice it before we were. And beyond the political scene, there were characters such as Obi Wan when he was young and it was showing how he was sort of hot headed to being the wise old mentor we knew of him as back in episode 4, he actually had a character. Anakin was a young boy who was forced to be put into a world he didn't get and it was able to make him see what the problems of society were and it made him angry and eventually evil that way. There is a three movie arc with this character. The effects for these new movies are also amazing even after almost two decades of age. And as the last two years have passed, more and more people have been able to appreciate these under rated films.
Now with the older movies. They were made by a man with no money and a big imagination. He was given a couple million dollars to make a miracle happen. After spending over four years making scripts and working on them again and getting to know the actors and putting extra time and effort to the effects, he was able to make what could be looked at as one of the best science fiction movies ever made that very quickly became something more than a movie and became a true embodiment of pop culture. Seeing the story and character development of the later two films, he was able to tap into so many people and bring them a cast of characters that actually felt like the real normal day people. Luke became more than just a character. He became a icon. Vader was more than a villain. He was the showing of how one can be able to change and become a hero and even if you never redeem yourself, you can still be able to have a character that one can understand even as a villain.
Seeing the first six movies of a story of rise and fall are some of the biggest pieces of cinema ever made and even more so of the last fifty years. Even the worst of these six still had something to these to make them good movies that actually looked like there was a true meaning to them. But when episode 7 came out, it was a money grabbing piece of popcorn fun that was fun the first time you see it but the more you think of it the more you realize it was easily the worst of these first seven. But it was just one movie, maybe they were warming up. Rogue One came out the next year and was the most ballsy movie of the last decade by a long shot and did such a good job showing what real war was like and showed how there was a real grey area in real life it showed that there was actually no real good or evil. This movie gave me genuine hope that 7 took away.
Episode 8 makes number 7 look like a masterpiece. The acting just was not that good, aside from Luke. The actor for Luke, Mark Hamill warned us about how bad this movie would be for over a year and he has been very vocal of his disgust of these new movies and all I will say is that we should have listened. 40 years of Star Wars legacy was thrown away for a chance to make money and it ruins every single character from the older six movies in one easy swoop and gets rid of 40 years of lore and mythology. No character is likable, the two years of hype and expectations were all thrown to the wayside by one sentence answers or two second scenes that just would kill characters off after they brutally ruined them. Mark Hamill looks like a aged, old defeated man, and this all happened in just two years and you can see that he never wanted these movies to be made and that he felt these are some of the worst pieces of cinema ever made. Disney did something that the empire never did, and that was truly defeat him down to the ground.
Episodes 7 and 8 are two of the worst movies ever made. They ruined everything that Star Wars meant. Season 2 of digimon was better than this. At least that had a vision. Disaster Movie is less insulting than this. At least that didn't ruin 40 years of lore and mythos that really touched two generations of people.The prequels actually brought Star Wars to a new base of fans. These two movies have taken everything that Star Wars ever could mean and threw it in a blender and then threw it down the garbage disposal. These are just ruining movies I liked as a kid, these are ruining hopes and dreams and world that kids would imagine themselves being in and truly will change how cinema will work in the coming decades in the worst way possible. I could write something better and I am only 19 years old. At least I have a true goal in what I try to portray.
