Enjoyable but dumb

Rating: 5/10 (31 December 2019)

I do think it's better than Last Jedi, but this movie makes plenty of choices that make it almost just as stupid. But let's talk about the good stuff: the action is pretty good. It's fast, there's a lot of movement, it's kinda flashy. It's nice. Everyone has fine acting. John Boyega is charismatic and fun, but also serious and sweet. Daisy Ridley is trying her best. She makes Rey feel like a very determined person but also confused. Adam Driver is good. He's very stoick yet you can see the emotions in his eyes and you tell what he's thinking. The movie just looks really nice and the music is great. But that's it. The story is so dull. Palpatine is back? You can't be serious. It's also not that funny. I chuckled once and it's when someone said "ow" because they fell on some rocks. And the fan-service for the original trilogy just feels forced. There's also two characters that kiss and I hate it. You probably know who I'm talking about. Not bad, but not good.
5.2/10 (Standard)
