So much potential...

Rating: 3/10 (20 December 2019)

So, this movie was...a mess. Things didn't make sense from the very beginning, you know it when you read the first line that slide up with the logo. "The dead talk!" Something like that, a joke really. Then we have a trio that has zero chemistry, this is from the writing I guess, their interactions are just poor, a pity. JJ eager to finally show the audience these heroes together just came up with more non sense: quick adventures that we don't really care about and zero character development with forgettable dialogues. Finn now is Rey's babysitter, which becomes annoying by the end of the movie. And I'm still not sure what was the deal with the new characters if they ignored all the old and good ones. I'm talking to you, Hux and Rose. A shame and a waste.
Everything is so rushed and we feel like something is missing, something that should connect everything. This movie is all over the place. Not funny, not deep.
And then at the end, JJ was just sadistic... I mean, to have a full theater cheer for a character like Ben Solo, to have everyone excited when they kiss to just kill him afterwards... I mean, the guy DISAPPEAR just like that. Everyone went silent and when the movie ended the message was not of hope, at all! Leaving the movie theater I, at least, didn't hear one single positive comment about the end. It's sad, really. So much potential and for me it was just that, potential.
