Shocking lack of imagination.

Rating: 5/10 (28 December 2015)

Enjoyed it but not overwhelmingly so. It felt a little like a warm old blanket being thrown over a raddled soul hankering after their past. The two new, British leads were very good; they are going to have a good career. At times it felt like a sticker book of nods to the first three movies, there's even a Yoda replacement who looks like a dried up satsuma, but then I realised, it's not just a bunch of nods or even a sequel or a re- boot; it's a full blown re-make of the original trilogy.
It looks great, but that storyline felt like it was thrown together by some hard-core fans given half a day with free coca cola and pizza.
I left the cinema feeling somewhat disappointed. They are going to need to pay some scriptwriters next time.
Still, nice to see Marilyn Manson and Tracy Island getting an airing.
