Oh, yeah. The Force snores. And snoozes.
As you may be able to guess, I saw the latest version of "Star Wars", "The Force Awakens" this evening. It was a wonderful and thoughtful and even appreciated gift from my bosses and company for the holidays but wow. What a stinker of a movie.
This movie is, without doubt the most unoriginal, predictable, repetitive, tedious, cute and cutesy--and even racist--movie you could ever want to see.
And while I will say all that about it---and I can back it up, certainly---I won't put any spoilers here, though the film deserves it.
Personally, I'd like the 2 hours back.
It's nearly as though someone made 8 or 10 more versions of "The Godfather." It makes that much sense, as a film.
All I can say, after the above totally fair judgments, is that JJ Abrams, though he will make millions, should be embarrassed, if not ashamed. And it will be great for Disney, certainly and millions upon millions of people, the world over will go and even enjoy the film. Sadly.
It's just further proof of the very old but also very true saying from H.L. Mencken:
"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public." - H. L. Mencken
Go. Enjoy.
You know you want to.
I'm just proud I didn't pay for it.
