I had great expectations about this...

Rating: 4/10 (20 December 2019)

Never thought I'd hate a Star wars movie, I'm very open minded when it comes to this trilogy, though many people have disliked the previous ones I have enjoyed them so far. But this one is just not right, I truly felt embarrased of it. For starters, I have to state that I have no issues with the characters, I actually like them at all, but this movie just wasted their potential and threw away anything interesting that could have added something more to the story. But they chose to go the easy way and fill up the movie with cliches and nostalgia. I'm okay with the last thing, since mostly the whole new trilogy has used nostalgia as a factor, probably to call old fans attention. But what is the necessity of keep bringing back old characters that already died? I mean, Luke and Han had amazing last scenes, just let them be already for Vader's sake. The cliche part is easier to explain, the kiss, Hux being the spy, and the last act being exactly the same as Avengers Endgame's ending. (was anyone not expecting that inmense amount of people showing up in the middle of the battle? like, unexpectedly?)
The movie is still... enjoyable, I think. But it was impossible for me not to focus on those "details" that made it unbearable. I am not that mad now, but instead I'm sad about the lame finale they gave to what could've been an amazing revival of the saga.
By the way, I really thought they would only bring Palpatine on a flashback or memory, BUT GOSH HOW COULD THEY REVIVE HIM! Is it that easy to just pick dead characters and bring them back just for the sake of it? with no logical explanation? damn, money does move this industry, what a shame.
