This is the Star Wars movie that should have flopped

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2018)

I literally struggle to believe that this movie is so utterly terrible.
Rian Johnson clearly has no idea of how a trilogy works. The second movie in the trilogy needs to build upon what has gone before, or it renders both pointless. It is easy to subvert expectations but not so easy to subvert them in a satisfying manner.
The cast do their best with what they have but the script is terrible, badly paced and has plot holes that you can fly a star destroyer through. The decades of Star Wars history are ignored in favour of lame jokes and muddled mysticism.
It appears the Rian Johnson Effect has done for Solo but this is the movie to blame
