You'd be better off not understanding English

Rating: 2/10 (23 December 2019)

This movie has stunning aesthetics, a brilliant soundtrack & some solid performances. However, what it does not have is anything resembling a coherent plot. Suspension of disbelief much? I honestly feel I would have had a better experience if I could not understand English and just got to enjoy the scenes without knowing a thing about what was happening.
The plot runs as if they just tried to cram every idea and feature into the film so they could sell as much merchandise as possible later (Spaceballs the Merchandising). The first half runs so fast you don't have a second to even take in a scene. Before you know it a new scene appears and you need to follow the introduction of a new obstacle or scenario. Legit one scene ended and not even a second later the next had started and two lines later that scene ended for another.
This is just the issue with the pacing, the plot also attempts to add new canon that contradicts old and force ideas without seeing if they can even fit logically into the story. Add in dialogue hand-picked to represent themes the creators wanted to include to and you have yourself the movie: a choppy roller-coaster of a film that will leave you either confused as to what is happening, or you follow it only to be aggravated as the plot-holes don't make this anything consistent with the Star Wars universe we have come to love.
If you love Star Wars you probably want to see this anyway, but let me warn you that it isn't in the same old mold, and do your best to enjoy it for what it is: a visual masterpiece with a good soundtrack. Don't expect a story worth caring about.
