The dark side has come to many reviews

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2017)

The internet is an angry place and it is a shame that rather than helpful and truthful reviews we are left with subjective bile. I want to place an honest review and I do not have my own agenda.
I am a great lover of the original series of movies, however, for Star Wars to survive in the 21st Century there needs to be evolution. This movie provides it to some extent. There is a very interesting character arc for Luke, however not as much development for other characters which needed it. Which is probably the reason I didn't go into 7 stars.
I was definitely uplifted by the end, however I did feel the trajectory and choices the movie made could have been braver in some instances.
In closing it isn't 1983, the story and characters have to live on and evolve and at some point the original fans need to realise with creativity comes pain in this slightly brave new world.
