Yet another Lucas Monstrosity
23 January 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Another movie that confirms that George Lucas has clearly lost it. I'm going to be blunt. This is one of the worst animated movies that I have ever had the displeasure of seeing, and I feel terrible that I took my daughter to see it for her first movie in theaters.

First off it doesn't matter that this is aimed at kids. When the parents are checking their watches wondering when this movie is going to end, this movie has downright failed. So to start, this movies poster has an automatic red-flag "from the mind of George Lucas" that instantly will keep many viewers away as we all know of the infamous Lucas Blunders.

Lucas was the screen writer and honestly this story makes even less sense then The Phantom Menace. The story is so awfully bad that you will not care about any of the characters at all and many parents will check out of the film halfway through.

Whats worse is when the kids even start to hate the characters. My daughter whispered in my ear, I really don't like the dumb sister, someone that you are supposed to care about. But what truly makes this film awful is the music. I truly believe that Lucas looked on Google for the most popular pop songs in recent years and just threw them in to be based into the story. Songs like I Say Hey, Makes You Stronger and several Lady Gaga songs.

All out of place, all telling you the obvious feelings that the characters are going through, even though people aren't that stupid and we can tell when a character is upset or happy. It just insults the viewers intelligence constantly. Then they have old songs like Bob Marley's Three Little Birds, but they absolutely butcher it to death!

This film has character clichés to max, awful story telling, disturbing animation, an absolutely dreadful song list and overall this is the worst movie of 2015 so far.
