Slow motion car crash... Worst movie since episodes I, II, and III.

Rating: 5/10 (17 December 2017)

I feel totally misled by initial critic reviews. This had an awesome trailer, a good foundation in the Force Awakens, and ridiculously strong follow up with Rogue One. What happened here I don't know. But at least half and hour could have been left on the cutting floor. Laura Dirn was like some one out of Hunger Games and was a wooden and boring actor. Snoke was underdevleoped and his last few lines were straight out of the hobbit style of 3rd party Gollum... And nowhere near as scary as the emperor on Return of the Jedi. The interplay between Rey and Ben was awesome, and Adam Driver was this films saving Grace. The little characters that filled space around various scenes were silly. General Hux was a joke. Vadar would have axed him. The First Order can't be portrayed as bumbling goof balls. They need to have menace and some success (perfectly achieved in Empire strikes back) otherwise they lose credibility. The whole casino side story was absolute crap. This one lacked imagination and story development. They are going to have to dig deep to salvage this for the next installment. And no one will believe the critics next time - they must have been on the payroll.
