This truly puts the hype into hyperspace

Rating: 5/10 (24 May 2016)

I hardly ever (never) 'rate' films and this probably deserves a little more than 5 from the standpoint of 'cinema'. It's just that I expected a lot more after such a long wait. The CGI was passable (given it was a wide berth); Carrie Fisher "changed her hair" (when she should have swapped out everything); I think Harrison Ford just wanted to be somewhere else (and finally got there); and where was the plot? I don't think I'm submitting a 'spoiler' if I say this is pretty much the first Star Wars with a bigger Death Star and even then there was something very familiar about its destruction. I know it's all supposed to be tongue-in-cheek but if I'm allowed to get really 'picky' why was Daisy Ridley given a wheel-less tractor as her run-about? If you're going to visit scrap-yards for cheap props why not crowbar and anti-grav. motor into a Lamborghini rather than an old clapped out Fergy. Not Sci-Fi's most notable achievement.
