How to Sell a Film with its Name

Rating: 1/10 (13 June 2018)

Bare in mind this is coming from someone who was really never much of a Star Wars fan and has found at least 2/3 of films in the series extremely "meh", but I thought 90% of this film was a completely unnecessary and uninspired retread of previous Star Wars material.
The plot is an extremely eye-rolling carbon copy of the original 1977 film whilst 90% of the characters are completely cardboard and uninteresting. There was potential mind you, but Rey is the epitome of a Mary Sue and Poe, Finn, and whatever other characters there were, were completely forgettable. The one exception to this is Kylo Ren, who is an admittedly interesting character but he isn't given enough to do. There are only maybe two scenes in the entire film that I found remotely entertaining, and those are the last scene involving Han along with maybe the lightsaber duel near the end. But beyond that, it is a horribly bland film. It's still well-made and well-shot, but at its core, it's mostly hollow. The only reason it got positive reception and made the amount of money it did was because of the Star Wars name and nothing more. If this film had a different title, its Rotten Tomatoes score would be in the 30's.
Normally I'd rate this more like a 3/10, but given that the general IMDb consensus is surprisingly an 8/10. all it's getting for now is a 1/10.
