Explosions and great action scenes, but void of any story

Rating: 3/10 (19 December 2016)

This film had a lot of potential. The characters they chose were quite iconic and had a lot of scope for character development.
Instead we just got action scene, after action scene with absolutely no back stories to any of the characters. Such a shame as developing characters like the blind jedi could have really added depth to the film. Instead of any dialogue, flash back or anything to help develop the character, we get "oh, he's just a blind jedi" and that's it. Move on to the next character.
The target audience for this film seems to be gold fish. Or any viewer who's memory can't last more than 5 minutes.
Any minor plot in this film had to be repeated by different characters every few minutes in case we had forgotten.
Such a shame that this film favoured action over substance. I really hope future star wars film return to the focus of story telling as opposed to fitting as many action scenes as possible.
