Better than the last one, but still dazed & confused

Rating: 4/10 (14 December 2017)

So this movie was (as the millions of dollars spent on it would suggest) a visualy pleasing one. There were some good jokes and some moments where I was excited. But. I'd say both the Force Awakens and The Last Jedi are sad attempts to bring back the magic of the original series, and their writers and directors don't seem to understand which part exactly is the one that contains it. So they collect all the ingredients and blend it all together and make a hamburger out of it for the consumer society. Star Wars wasn't really ment to be a blockbuster movie for merchandise sales. Honestly, it's a bedtime tale for geeks who wish to connect with the world. The magic was never in the Millenium Falcon, the Deathstar, the props or the tools used. The magic was in the story that told tales of good and evil and the wisdom of knowing what they are. It had characters you could relate to and cheer for. Tragedies that ment something because you understood the nature of those it happened to. It was never grandiose, that was just a wallpaper in the background. It was always small, and personal. Like when you only had a bucket and a broomstick but in your head you were a knight in shining armour.
I'd say even the prolouge series was better than the new series so far- for one reason only: it had a good story and knew where it was going and better characters and actors. All together it was a decent flick though, around 2 points better than your avarage movie (hence 7 points), definitely your first pick if you want to see a blockbuster before christmas. Finaly, here's my rating for all episodes.
Episode 1 - 7 points
Episode 2 - 7,5 points
Episode 3 - 8 points
Episode 4 - 8 points
Episode 5 - 9 points
Episode 6 - 8,5 points
