Not dark enough, too PC

Rating: 4/10 (7 August 2017)

Wanted to like it, but the political diversity agenda made me cringe too much. "Yes, girls can do it too" is the sledgehammer approach to casting. Yes we know they can do it too, stop forcing that message down our throats.
No longer is casting a merit-based recruitment, but more about the minority group you identify with.
Fully expecting the next Star Wars to have trans-gender Jedis taking the lead. Not because it makes a good story, but because it ticks politically correct boxes.
After all these years of watching Star Wars, I now want the dark side to win. We need the good guys to get smashed, it's time to take things off-road. After all, the world we live in is quite a dark place these days what with faith-based terrorism, capitalist greed, environmental devastation. We need to show the true potential of the dark side rather than squashing it under "good deeds from diversity approved roles".
Darth Vader did not appear scary or menacing. Just seemed like some actor in a suit. I actually did like the robot, K2S0 - that was the only thing I liked, and when the Death Start unleashed its weapon. Everything else was tame.
