I Think I Might Actually Hate A Star Wars Movie

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2019)

Fan backlash ruined this movie. All the pressure put on this franchise because fans didn't get what they wanted forced Abrams to make choppy, uncoordinated mess filled with inconsistencies, and extensive fan service. The pandering is almost as bad as the dialogue. What should have been a new, creative entry in the series ends up being essentially Return of the Jedi all over again. Did they grab some "super fan" to write awful fan fiction as the script? That's what it seemed like. The movie is all over the place. Routinely is new information, and abilities lobbed in there lackadaisically with no real context, or need. I seriously never thought I could hate a Star Wars movie. I'm disappointed, but at least maybe now they don't have to worry about pandering anymore. Maybe
