Terrible

Rating: 1/10 (27 June 2018)

What in the hell was this garbage? It's like everything that was built in The Force Awakens was thrown away and the laziest answers for legitimate questions were given. Characters feel as though they reverted back to their old selves in the beginning of The Force Awakens and any character development from that film was tossed out. The movie feels like an hour and a half chase scene with a pointless 30 minute social commentary segment that felt like Hollywood propaganda, and another 30 minutes of constant unnecessary exposition. Force powers are distributed as though anyone can pick their powers put of a hat and use them, all lore established in previous Star Wars movies is contradicted, and beloved characters just die for no reason and are barely even mentioned after their deaths. This was one of the most disappointing movies of 2017 and one I couldn't even review until now because of how shocked I was. I thought that the bad reviews after the film released in theaters were just from a bunch of angry "fans" who didn't like anything but the original trilogy and were just nitpicking, but for the first time, I agree with the fans. This movie was just bad, and I don't know where this trilogy can go from here.
