No strong feelings either way, which is, itself, disappointing.

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2019)

I don't really know how to review this movie, because I don't really know what the message of this movie is.
It's hard to get to riled up about it- the entire film has a strange halting feel- the plot isn't complicated, but somehow it feels like it struggles to get to the point.
I don't want to give away any spoilers, so I'll just say that, compared to the previous two Star Wars films, this one is my least favorite. It lacks the well-executed nostalgia of the first film, and is nowhere near as bold or compelling as the second.
Effects are good, acting is generally good (or at least, consistent with previous films), music is fantastic. Trying to point out some positives- because it's hard to find anything noteworthy about the film overall.
I wouldn't recommend it if it didn't have the Star Wars tie-in, but it uses *just* enough of those critical ingredients to make it worth at least one viewing.
