8.1 is quite generous

Rating: 5/10 (21 April 2020)

Without Rutger, this film would be pointless.
I lacked any real connection with any of the characters until the last 5 minutes of the film. I kept checking how long was left of the film due to the lack of interest.
I understand it's from 1982 and the advances in CGI are incredible these days, but for me, the lack of empathy, charisma and likeability of all the characters, left me disappointed. The last 20 minutes of the film were the only parts worth watching, purely because or Rutger who should've seen more screen time in my opinion.
Would I recommend it to a friend? Not if I wanted to keep them.
I will however watch 2049 purely on the basis that closure is needed, I hope it can connect more than the original.
For those that think I don't like it because the film is from 1982 and I can't grasp the inequalities......stop there...... I prefer the original Star Wars to the later versions......
