A Sad Sloppy Mess

Rating: 4/10 (24 December 2019)

This movie is a bit of a disaster and lacks the compulsory aspects of cinema. Both the main characters of the trilogy and new characters introduced are stuck in a bubble of greyness that has little-to-no development and a complete absence of meaningful arcs. Poorly written dialogue made it painful to listen to, and didn't have that comedic edge that previous episodes had to fill in for said dialogue, which in turn didn't give actors much to work with. Not-so-subtle attempts to rewrite the works of Episode 8, which is a slap in the face to its own saga. Sometimes filmmakers must understand that the best way to deliver "fan service" is by creating a magical masterpiece of cinema, and this film was light-years away from the mark. Visually pleasing, as the entire trilogy has been, but not enough to get this film over the line.
