2. Dry and Soulless At Its Centre
When you truly get down to it, a biggest problem of SW: TFA is that it has no soul. You don’t generally care about what happens to the characters since they’re either one-dimensional or they do and say things that really don’t make sense. The film lacks unique ideas and the plot has a group of action scenes entwined by a scarcely intelligent plot that is completely unsurprising and uneventful. The film is bland to the point that it feels more like a run of the mill uproarious action blockbuster than a Star Wars film.
1. It Utilizes Old Characters For Cheap Nostalgia
There is nothing wrong with older characters from well-known movies showing up in their new continuations. If it’s done well, it’s a fabulous approach to reignite an old franchise and hand over the torch to the new era of performing artists. An awesome case is X-Men: Days of Future Past. In it, the maturing Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellen) show up in the same film as their more youthful counterparts. Sadly, Force Awakens doesn’t make a decent show with regards to of utilizing the first Star Wars characters. Clearly the main reason they are here is to legitimize the film and persuade the fanatics of the original trilogy to see it. Han Solo and Leia Organa basically repeat their parts from the original trilogy, while others like Admiral Ackbar show up just for fun.
Force Awakens maybe best summed up by Mark Hamill’s silent, disapproving look towards the end of the film. Apparently,he was paid $ 1-3 million for this scene. As it were, this cameo acts as a superb image for how Disney exploited the Star Wars franchise to make billions of dollars rather than a decent film.
