Better than expected

Rating: 8/10 (25 October 2018)

I must say that this relatively new Star Wars movie isn't as bad as anything that has transpired among the traditional *post* 1983 trilogies, in fact it appears that whoever made this, has somehow managed to keep any disgusting Harry Potter-ish Disney influence out of it, resulting in a serious movie with some delicate details and even a certain degree of unexpected depth and bits and pieces of quite believable dramatic twists and turns.
Its not a masterpiece which it can not be by default; yet I have to assume that there is a sliver of enjoyment in it for nearly every audience, including those who have already passed the mid point of their lives. The odds are that blablas running Disney and ruining everything they touch will unlikely see it this way but still; one can hope that this highly watchable piece of entertainment will turn out to be a soothing spirit for some nostalgic old fans and in some cases even create new followers.
Overall this movie has glimpses of the highly regrettable trend in todays Hollywood where the real talent hides itself in lesser known products while keeping away from traditional popcorn blockbusters made for those representing the idiocy of today. A deserved 4/5 is due.
