Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 6 Celebrities Who Didn't Like The Movie

Samuel L. Jackson, how could you?

Uh-oh. Not everybody likes Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Despite the fact that the movie has amassed an epic 93% on critical aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, and has been praised by pretty much everyone who saw it, from Kevin Smith to Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Rob Lowe, there are a few people who decided that the movie wasn't up their street and that the best way to deal with that was to sound off about it in public. Actors, writers and directors tend to keep quiet when it comes to saying anything bad about other Hollywood movies; you never know who might be listening, and thus could also deny you work in the future. Nobody wants to burn their bridges in La La Land, after all, because it's hard to claw your way back once the damage has been done. Considering that Disney own, like, everything (and everyone), attacking J.J. Abrams new flick publicly might be deemed something akin to career suicide. And that's before you've offended all the fans (a ravenous group, too). That said, there are some celebrities who decided that they didn't give a sh*t about saying bad things about The Force Awakens. Here, then, are six celebrities who - for one reason or another - took offence to The Force Awakens, and were more than happy to tell you - and everyone else - about it...
