Entertaining at times, but ultimately hollow

Rating: 3/10 (29 December 2017)

It amazes me to see such a massive movie be made with such a poor script. The plot holes are everywhere, the character development is non-existent, and the director went out of his way to overtly dump on the Star Wars legacy for no conceivable story benefit. Comedy was used well in the original trilogy, but here it undermines the story and character development. Surely someone at Disney saw these failings in the script. They'd be glaring to any writer or even a first years film student. And WTF with the cut-and-paste 'critic' reviews?!? Constantly undermining character development with ill-considered jokes, and ruining the story with illogical plot twists, does not make a movie brave or creative, its just means that Rian Johnson script was rubbish. Sure its funny, has some great action sequences, and solid performances from Driver and Hamill, but the rest of the movie was a complete mess
