Max Landis Picks Apart STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS
Max Landis, outspoken screenwriter, comic book scribe and fanboy has some very serious gripes with J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens. "I don't know what to tell you, you feel differently about it than me." Continue reading to see why the Chronicle scribe didn't enjoy Episode VII.
The vast majority of the movie going populace absolutely loved Star Wars: The Force Awakens. However, the film is not without its detractors. The convenience of finding the Millennium Falcon and Luke's lightsaber at precisely the right moment. Rey's ability to fight Kylo Ren on equal footing with (seemingly) no training. Then there's the numerous call backs to the Original Trilogy in the film (that have already been covered ad nauseam). Some say those callbacks are necessary to bridge the gap between the older generation of Star Wars fans and the youths being introduced for the first time. However, don't count Max Landis among them.
In this continuation of the epic space opera saga, a downed stormtrooper (John Boyega) goes on an epic journey, joining forces with a desert outcast and reconnects with heroic faces from the past (Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill). Can they find allies and in time to survive the perilous threat of The First Order (Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Andy Serkis)?
