The music killed it for me

Rating: 4/10 (17 December 2016)

For me the music has very much impact on any film. Here I had a WTF feeling right from the first accord. :( And most of the time it was not just mediocre but outright annoying. Bad where used "original" theme and even worse where used the excellent originals. In the whole 2 hour movie maybe less than 5 minutes of the score was okay level.
Beyond that the movie was not really good either. Especially compared to all the hype and expectations. Yeah, the visuals are great and the casting too. But pros stop there. The plot made little sense and the execution was not engaging so you sat there wondering why this or that happens. Also many deviations stood out from the original universe that should be made properly.
With a neutral track I could give it 5 maybe even 6 for a "see once and forget" experience.
The whole thing would be much better fit as cartoon.
Unfortunately I'm sure it will bring in enough money anyway so we can expect more repeats of the same approach sending the bar ever lower. For which we, the spectators supplying the money are actually responsible. From here on Star Wars is no longer on my list of auto see, I'm putting it on suspect list and will wait out promising comments on there was improvement.
