Terribly disappointing.

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2016)

I am appalled at coming here to IMDb and seeing this movie has an 8.2/10 overall rating. I was expecting a much lower rating than that. I think that all the positive reviews are paid or are Star Wars fans that just don't want to admit how blatantly terrible this movie was. I was actually intrigued the first 15 minutes of the movie and after that we get a conglomeration of new characters and settings in which absolutely no backstory is given. There is no emotional attachment to the characters and way too much is happening at the same time. Apparently the second half of the movie gets a little better, but I would not know because I left the theater at that point. I am a Star Wars fan and this prequel is just as bad or worse as The Phantom Menace.
