Disappointing but fun

Rating: 6/10 (16 December 2016)

So why disappointed and why fun. I'll start with fun. The action is thrilling and well executed, the effects are near perfect if not perfect. The fan pleasing was on point.
Disappointing because those are the best part of the movie.
I thought the script was a bit lackluster and that the characters were a bit dull. With exceptions of course (K2-SO the funny droid).
I did like Felicitie's character too but I do dislike the whole "forcing female characters" that Disney seems to be doing. The first and part of the second act is basically "Hey here is a character, hey here is a character, hey here is a location..." and they were cool at times but I did find some of them to be useless and dull.
Some Deus Ex Machinas were a bit annoying as well. I feel like this movie was entirely avoidable but nonetheless I think the average movie goer and non hardcore star wars fans will have a blast but the rest I'm afraid might find it a bit disappointing. Still enjoyable and I do recommend watching it. 6.3
