Predictable.

Rating: 6/10 (14 January 2018)

Star wars is now a cash cow. There isn't much too tell, not much to make up, specially nowadays where you cannot hurt anybody's feelings and risk a social media or media boycott, but it still sells, so lets make another movie. No, several. And some spin offs. As a result, the viewer gets more and more disappointment... Star Wars Episode VIII is an absolutely predictable film. Everything that happens, a non brainless viewer can anticipate it. The better thing to do is not use your brain at all, because you start to raise questions, the little pleasure in watching it is gone. For instance, how does a character survive adrift in outer space, with no suit, gets back to the half wrecked ship, a door opens and she gets in. Do not try this at home, or better, at an aeroplane, because if you do it everything will be sucked out and the structure will most likely implode. So the movie is a mimic to "The empire strikes back", more alien bar scenes, more gullible characters on the good side dwelling with issues, much more funny pets and robots Disney can sell as merchandise, CGI, CGI and more CGI and no creative spark at all. Very little plot. Very little novelty. Even Mark Hamil and Carrie Fisher performances are (and I am very sorry to say this) feeble. Has a saga fan (and Sci-fi fan) I keep going to the movie theatre to watch these movies but this one may have been the last, has I keep getting disappointed. I enjoyed episode IV, V and VI, a long long time ago in a far age, I was a kid. As an adult its a little bit more difficult.
