Truly shocked at the high rating on this one.

Rating: 4/10 (11 May 2019)

I viewed this in 3-D at the cinema, which was some experience but as a movie it contained little surprise whatsoever. Although it's a harp back to the look and feel of the original star wars release (which was a nice idea) and contained two of the major stars, Ford and Fisher; the rest was pretty much routine. Perfect in every detail and manufactured for something to happen every 2.30 minutes, there is no room for mistakes and certainly no room to breath. Great films have depth and personality but star wars as a global brand and worth 100's of billions, has become just about as synthetic as R2D2.
