The most politically loaded Star Wars yet

Rating: 5/10 (23 December 2019)

First, obviously the movie team once again outdone itself in special effects, creating fascinating landscapes and great fighting scenes. This is especially cool to watch in a cinema, enabling the viewer to be completely immersed in the Star Wars world for 2 hours. Great job!
However, it is a shame how nowadays every major movie needs to be a means of pushing some political agenda, instead of just being entertainment. It felt strange to see all men in the movie being portrayed as emotionally weak, irrational, whiny and somewhat incapable. The urge to reverse traditional gender roles couldn't be more obvious, and that in turn put pressure on the movie plot. Also sneaking in a scene of two women kissing at the end? I get the idea of being a proponent of inclusion, but for a movie like Star Wars, this is just not necessary to sneak it in.
In conclusion, I'm a big fan of all Star Wars movies that were released before this one. But I don't believe that this one added much value to a great series of movies.
