Worst film ever is such an over the top assessment of the film in my opinion.
Such statements are normal in this age of hyperbole being the rule and not the exception. Though in 5 years or so it’ll pass.
It is not really hyperbole. I am only twenty one and rarely watch movies. Typically I only watch movies that have won oscars, received rave reviews, or reached 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Maybe it is not the worst film I have ever seen, but it is certainly the most superficial film I have ever seen.
The Force Awakens was a thinly disguised remake of A New Hope with a more ethnically diverse cast, better special effects, a less coherent plot, and one-dimensional cardboard cutout characters.
Finn is far too nice for someone who was conditioned to mercilessly kill innocents from childhood.
Rey is far too perfect at everything.
I prefer the whiny Luke from A New Hope or the creepy Anakin from Attack of the Clones because at least those main characters were imperfect. At least they felt human.
Toward the end of the film, I was actually hoping that the main characters would die so that the next movie would star other characters.
And I never wanted to see the badass Han Solo as an old, divorced deadbeat dad forced back into the smuggling business.
That ruined his character for me.
