Good, even very good....but not great

Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2016)

This is definitely a very spectacular movie, some scenes are breathtaking, the photography and special effects are superb. I liked the dark atmosphere, slightly different from the typical StarWars one, You can find all along the movie several references to other cult movies of the past, on top of some nice cameos from the previous StarWars: Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner to mention only a few. Yet, the movie has some downs, the action gets somewhat confused at times and some scenes are definitely overlong (especially the final battle...). So I enjoyed it a lot, though I was expecting a great movie I "just" found a very good one...
