A Lot of Stuff With No Emotion

Rating: 5/10 (19 December 2019)

This is the first time I've been completely empty while watching a Star Wars film. Just a whole lot crammed in scene after scene with characters new and old - none of whom get the chance to develop into anyone you care about. What should have been huge emotional stakes came up completely empty. I've loved some Star Wars films and I've been less impressed by others, but I always came away with some kind of feeling. Nothing here even made me think "that was cool/clever/interesting." It just happened.
