Star Wars Movie Reviews
What makes this move an ultimate bore? - extremely weak plot, scenes built entirely from recycled material, ludicrously shallow characters, unimaginative execution? Or perhaps an overall feeling that the people at the helm of this business venture were extremely eager to deliver the ENTERTAINMENT and VALUE FOR MONEY and QUALITY and of course to target the right audience with an uttermost precision.
What kind of audience this movie tries to hit right into the pleasure centers?
Seems like it is the generation of 14-16 year olds who were somehow stuck with their intellectual and emotional development at 8- year old level, yet they are very keen on gadgets and social justice. More or less like the central DARK character (what's his name?), who is uncannily portrayed more retarded teenager than the powerful overlord. And the whole top command of the evil First Order is as imposing as Cambridge cricket team of the second decade of the 21st century. Well, they are all white, middle class and undoubtedly British. So they are entirely evil. Sure.
Would this movie make these kind of audiences lift their heads from their smart phones for long enough? Perhaps so. Yet there is nothing to remember, nothing to treasure and to be fond of. I guess the next installment in the franchise will advertise newer robotic toys, that's all.
Even the music is entirely forgettable. Who wrote it? I would prefer to remain clueless
