Sabotaging itself

Rating: 1/10 (18 December 2017)

Well,
where to begin? Anywhere.
Beyond incredible special effects, and as everybody is saying, Snoke is now a Joke. How is it possible that the wrtitters, director and the whole crew of a 200-300 milon dollar movie don't see as spectactors all this plot anticlimaxes? It is some sort of mistery how making a movie will really be, there must be so many unkown production interests and therefore biassed opinions that the thing put together becomes rubish in the core. On the other hand, good news ideas, as force telepathy in order to explore the intense and somewhat complex relation between characters and its development turns into nothing at the first opportunity. Then, the meditation-holograme part with death as a conclusion by exhaustion, no words. There are so many ways of incorporating quality drama mixed with light-sabers and spectacular earth-alien or space scenarios that, again, one asks: how is it possible? Then, the philosophical teaching part is just embarrassing....contradcitory in itself. And finlly, the idea that the good and the bad is relative is thrown to the garbage and the movie ends again with the good and the bad conflict, so wasting the previuos time and killing the dramatic tension
again.
And a lot of things more, time wasted with Finn ant the planet of rich and insensitive people looking for a decoder (it is incredible how almost idiotic subplots emerge in order to diverge the story and to give room to some characters, and also the childish B-movie aspects of the first movies, which could be succesfully overcome now, are mantained as if it were a Star Wars caharacteristic: the decoder of the speed of light tracer and so on !!!). Also, too much Poe ( certainly is not Han Solo: will they see that?), etcetera and on and on. Then, the humorous part works in some scenes but there are other where you can see the Marvel style, the need to gag out of place which cuts the narrative when does not work, as it happens.
The are good things of course, some good elections with new creatures (the nuns of Luke and many others) and as I said some intention in the good direction that is sabotaged in the same film minutes ahead!!!! As the strong parts of the force awekening are sabotaged too. Perhaps, this indicates that two or more people had wanted to do its his way, pulling the creative process in different directions, triying to satisfy economic, social, racial, gender, productive, artistic interests...of course, the outcome: a messy film that will produce a deep hurt into the collective perception of star wars... perhaps earn lots of money taht they will earn too with another whole aproach, in fact more risky.
