The first time I saw “The Force Awakens” my entire review was “this is just the original three films slammed together into one film”
Which translates to me not being that impressed.
I remember it still drew some pretty heavy criticism at the time, don’t let the rose-tinted glasses fool you. Rey as a character had quite a lot of legitimate flaws in her writing IIRC (not about whether she was a good or bad person, about whether she was handled well as a protagonist with substance to her character, importance and story)
What are you on about? The Force Awakens is just a poor remix of A new hope, but with bad characters and an stilted script. It’s the most boring of the new trilogy.
I’m with you OP!
I was a kid when the original movies came out and it had a huge impact on me. Force Awakens has it’s flaws, but I liked it then and I still like it now.
Just want you to know, you’re not alone!
(bracing for the inevitable downvotes!)
Looks like every generation gets its Star Wars trilogy, Star Trek series and James Bond haha
