Insultingly Bad

Rating: 2/10 (24 December 2019)

This is the worst Star Wars film ever made.
Worse than Phantom Menace. No joke!
Acting and dialogue is shockingly poor, wondering how the actors kept a straight face at all while filming.
Storyline essentially non existent, they make things up as they go along and disregard many of the story arcs building in the previous two films and replace them with sloppy and lazy character choices and story resolutions.
The film is visually entertaining in parts and I'm sure a 8 year old child will love this movie but overall it's cringey, heartless, boring, insults the intelligence of the audience, requires almost 0 brain engagement, ruins the point of the original movies, over Disneyfies the hell out of the sets.
I was close to walking out the screening on several occasions! But found myself just laughing in shock at how ridiculously bad it was.
It's pretentious, uninteresting, messy, full of plot holes, essentially just an advert for toys and it plays it FAR FAR too safe.
Don't bother paying to see this movie. Even if you LOVE Star Wars like I do.
It's not worth it.
You'll likely leave the cinema feeling frustrated wishing you could delete it from your mind.
It gets a 2/10 and not a 0/10 only because the cinematography is pleasant and for a younger audience up to 11-12 years old I guess they'll enjoy it. And wanna buy all the toys....
