Colourful, creative mediocrity..

Rating: 2/10 (17 December 2017)

Well.. An arrogant way, ( very XXI Cent indeed in my humble view), to look at everything great done freshly in a past not that far far away.. With that sense of those responsible bluffing and bragging about how much bigger better, more visually spectacular things are going to look., almost saying.. wellÂ´.. that was alright, but I think OURS is more how it should be.. only to end up being an extremely ridiculous, absurd rip off, dumb flick, just like any other with any non-sensical title of those which over populate megaplexes these days..
This saga became gloriously iconic for several reasons, but I think, audiences were the main diference. Diferent world, diferent context.. STAR WARS ended with Return of the Jedi, with Lucas turning and giving in to the dark side himself, over a decade later. This cannot be ANY serious continuation to the original Star Wars.
as time and decades went by, everyone realised what Star Wars meant..
KIds did not need back then the vast Disney array of fake little CGI pets, to force comic relief, or steal hearts for a second or two.. just to sell the silly thing to little kids, thats NOT the way it happened with Star Wars. We talk about spoilers these days a lot. Know! The biggest spoiler is for someone to ruin your imagination forever, be it prequel, sequel or remake..
Star Wars was not a formula, quite on the contrary it was the biggest risk, a tremendous visionary leap of faith, who truusted his inspiration and that world he created, to be told to younger and older people alike, and so it happened. Period
No need to cover the full spectrum, like Disney does today.. so miticulously detailed and crafted to try to please everyone yet I think ever failing to deliver anything intelligent, but rather throw brainless entertainment to exceedingly gullable audiences. The magic and spectacle, the awe at something lies in totally different places, and certailly deeper. Having said all that..
If you want to see Skywalker applying himself to a bottle of fresh out of the nipple blue milk of the dullest shapeless CGI creature ..those nuns in the island..,where he retires to.. What exactly?, listen to all those ludicrous lines of dialogue, pointless counless minutes wasted on some Casino like sequences, and pretentious pseudo morality, tale with Dickensian-like kids potentially filled with midichlorians being exploited by some baddies, and some Supergirlesque Leia flying her way into salvation, a poor R2 and C3PO given almost the last page and screen rites, while that Phasma runs around to do nothing, chrome gear and all, to be killed and reveal an eye under her mask before falling to her death..Hmm..
and some other assorted off the hook utter rubish current interpretation of brilliant old stories.. well go ahead. I wont mention SNOKE.. pseudo palpatine evil of evils.. the red ninja Kungfu fighting... please...RAY, being so proficient with the lightsaber, Why?? dUh,,, Does it matter anymore?..
I did. Benicio del Toro is the smartest and cool character..a wasted Lando..in this disposable, forgettable, enervating dramedy, its appeal mainly that its the longest of them all, which is a pleasure, would it serve a true, deep, honest purpose delivering magical moments. I love STAR WARS. I hope they finish it off, and let classics remain so, forever. To make big names for themselves out of getting the sheer priveledge of telling other how the story goes.. XX! Century hey... Worst thing is..by the time everyone's made their mind, for good or bad its all in their pockets for yet another one.. Brace yourself.
