WORST STAR WARS FILM OF THEM ALL (a fan review)

Rating: 1/10 (19 December 2017)

I am a massive Star Wars fan. I have watched all the Star Wars films, as well as Clone Wars and Rebels. I am 26 and am vehemently not part of the old guard who only liked 4-6. This is officially the WORST Star Wars movie I have ever seen!
The plot was just ridiculous for starters. There were so many pointless things that happened - people surviving being flown into space, a stupid mirror scene, pointless deaths of key characters, the brief artificial addition of a romantic scene, and much more pointless nonsense! The villain was also weak and emotional. They also thought it fun to try to make good and evil less black and white, but it was done in such a way that it lessened the impact and resonance of the film. They also ruined Luke Skywalker and made him a lame & uninteresting bum. The purple-haired Vice Admiral character seemed simply condescending and ultimately uninspiring. Don't know why the writers had to add that secret plan, hold it back from Poe just to be a tool, and then have it backfire anyway - pointless, pointless pointless. I cannot express how disappointing this movie was. The Star Wars universe would be better if it we all pretended this film never existed. In my opinion, anyone who likes this film is a noob who knows nothing about Star Wars. As for all the rave reviews from prominent critics - all it proves, to me, is how out of touch they are with the general audience. The fact that the audience reviews and the critics' reviews vary so widely makes me wonder if something is up. Is there something in it for them if they give this trash the right review? I just don't know how else to explain this huge divide in opinions. It should be noted that I created an account solely to express my disgust at this horrible horrible rubbish of a film. The script writer should be barred from ever writing anything ever again! The director should be sacked and made a pariah. The only thing I liked was the development of Rey's character and the opening space fight scene.
Additional criticisms: No development of Snoke, Rey's backstory was uninteresting, ATAT's come out of nowhere (their appearance the the planet is not explained), why did the ATAT's land so far away? Hux or Hox (who cares now?) is not an amusing villain to laugh at, Poe is a trigger-happy douchbag and no hero, there's gravity in space somehow, suddenly a lack of space fuel becomes an issue for the first time in the franchise, Leia somehow gets back into the ship after flying through space with out any sort of depressurisation (and yet everyone was fine and dandy)... that's all just off the top of my head.
