SO CLOSE

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2019)

I was in the theatre with the movie coming to a close and I was ready to say it was the best Star Wars I'd ever seen. And then the managed to screw all of it up. Rey and Kylo Ren had chemistry and tension through all of the movies. The movies gave you a feeling that he would be redeemed, which is something we haven't seen in the Star Wars universe yet. I was so happy when she called him Ben and they kissed, and then it happened. They killed him off. Not only did they do that, they killed him in possibly the sloppiest, fastest, and most ridiculous way I have ever seen in any movie, let alone a Star Wars movie. I couldn't believe it. The whole theater laughed as Kylo fell to the ground randomly and faded out for no apparent reason. It was SUCH A GOOD MOVIE, AND THEN THEY DID THAT. REY HAD LITERALLY JUST FALLED OVER TO THE GROUND IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND THEN HE FALLS OVER RANDOMLY TO THE OTHER DIRECTION??? THAT IS TEXTBOOK PHYSICAL COMEDY PUT INTO A DEATH SCENE FOR A MAIN CHARACTER OF A SERIOUS MOVIE. Its embarrassing for the Star Wars franchise.. I don't understand who thought that was a good idea. Honestly so frustrated about it. I cant.
