Science Fiction

When the prequels came out, I didn't love them, but I absolutely had to wear it the fact that we got more Star Wars. At the time we really didn't expect to get any more out of the franchise. IMO Jar Jar notwithstanding, they were acceptable, but not up to the greatness of the originals. While far from perfect, they did tell a story, They added decent choreography and some reasonably pretty visuals.

The new trilogy tried to go all Kubrick on us.They try to tell a story through visual cues and really, it's not doing a great job at it. The characters have Backstories, but they're held from you until you're getting three-quarters of the way through the movie trying to figure out what the hell is going on while they get around to tying in the original characters. Star Wars requires that exposition.And honestly, another Death Star, another critical flaw, its bigger, its scarier, its all really low effort bullshit.

It was great seeing Luke and Han again, I really wanted to like Rey, They just utterly failed to develop her character, and then the crak with Snoke. You just end up coming out of the movie, feeling like you didn't understand half of what the new story is, and being utterly bored with the other half and all the horrible things happening to the protagonist that you don't really care that much about.
