Star Bores

Rating: 2/10 (27 December 2017)

I've seen all the Star Wars movies and I must admit that my favourites were the first three, Episodes IV, V and VI. They were new, inventive, fresh and they linked technology with something deeper.
Episode VIII, on the other hand, is a shallow copy of these. It uses the same universe, but lacks any depth at all, uses a ton of cliches, is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO predictable, lacks any central plot, jumps unendingly from crisis to crisis, and is in parts just plain boring. The only two real genuine interests in the movie are Ren and Luke Skywalker, with a delightful twist at the end.
This appears to be a money-making effort solely. The scriptwriters should be ashamed of themselves for such a puerile effort, pulling Deux ex Machina when things got tough, copying scenes almost exactly from earlier episodes, using inane and suicidal battle 'tactics,' leaving things unexplained, jumping without transitions, and including an ending worthier of Disney than the greatest space opera classic ever created.
For the true Star Wars fan, see it out of duty. For the rest, AVOID.
