You don't need to see this movie. something - mostly, I think, to give the effects guys time to reload their explosives. And x-wing fighters and tie fighters swooshing by in entirely incomprehensible combat. So, what do we have instead of new ideas? Lots and lots of explosions. Oh yeah, and there's a bar with an alien band. (And given the awful stuff on the page, its understandable.) Meanwhile, storm troopers are appearing and disappearing as necessary, still can't shoot, their armor still doesn't to a bit of good. Then an all-in-black villain (like Darth) will be faced down by a new jedi (like Luke - except this one can defeat a jedi master after beginning the fight not even able to activate her lightsaber), and a father and son will face off on a long bridge and one of them will fall off it (like, well, you know.) Harrison Ford appears, and doesn't even seem to even be enjoying himself - just saying what's on the page and trying to put the whole experience behind him. So we get a search for 'the last jedi' (like when we were looking for Obi-Wan all those years ago) to return to the fight against tyranny, but along the way, an orphan on a desert world (like Luke Skywalker) will come into possession of a robot with information crucial to the rebellion (like R2D2), leading to an attack on a powerful planet-killer (like the Death Star), to be supported by an attack on a nearby world (like the moon of Endor, mercifully without ewoks). And based on box-office revenues they appear to be right. We are, they suppose, not smart enough to absorb new plot devices, and will be perfectly happy to give them money to show us the old stuff over again. #STAR WARS EPISODE THE FORCE AWAKENS FULL MOVIE MOVIE#That's because Disney decided to make it "for the fans" - that is, a movie pieced together out of a sort of "greatest hits" of the other 6 movies, with nothing new whatsoever. You'll notice that SW7 only has a "based on characters" credit for George Lucas. Remember when mainstream movies used to be good? This guy has ruined more franchises then anyone I can think of. Started out as a Spielberg hack, became a Roddenberry hack, now a Lucas hack. All the original cast are basically guest stars in their own franchise, so we can have a younger generation take over and keep milking the cash for another 40 years. Written out because a bored actor wants another Indiana Jones Movie. One of the most beloved cinema icons of all. Poe's amazing reusable jacket - which he should still be wearing when Fin picks it up. People who can become master Jedi without training. A Death Star that can't go anywhere, A Death Star whose Death Ray is faster than light (how else can it reach those systems in seconds?) Luke Skywalker. This movie is just a total rip off of the original trilogy nothing original in it all. Star Wars will now be forced down your throat, hyped beyond hype, new toys every month. Lucas may be $4 billion richer but I bet he wishes he hadn't sold the rights. How much did Disney pay the critics for all those gushing reviews? Either that or the art of film criticism has been lost. Remember that? Remember how they inspired a generation of loyal fans? Remember how they virtually saved cinema from terminal audience decline in the 70s? So scoot forward 40 years, and see the empty soulless rubbish lapped up by brainwashed Pavlovian audiences and critics. ![]()
