terrible... ppl love "classics"

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2019)

This movie is awful. if it was judged based on today's standards (with the exception of technological limitations, ie CGI) it would be blasted by every critic around. this movie is bad on almost every level of film-making. plot, dialogue, script, acting, characters are all BAD. the action (again excluding CGI limitations) was abysmal. not one single action moment was even mediocre. the light saber battle made me laugh. the action was 100% useless
i shouldn't have watched this. i knew it would happen. but this movie is garbage. don't get me started on how the beginning of the movie feels like 20 minutes was chopped off of it. don't get me wrong, i like when a movie starts quick. but this was so awkward, like many other parts of the movie.
also... PLOT HOLES galore. dumb moments galore. old movie qualities galore. also, you know how they say a movie is as good as the villain? you know how they also say darth vader is one of the coolest villains? as a villain... as a character... he is non-existent. i know nothing about him. he's just "bad guy." i'm assuming he is developed in later movies, but that doesn't excuse this one.

if someone steals your password, you don't go after them and make them erase the password... you change your password. if the rebellion knows your weakness, CHANGE IT. or protect it, or something.
