An Exercise in Lazy Filmmaking

Rating: 3/10 (18 December 2017)

I don't know what this steaming pile of crap is, but it's definitely not a Star Wars movie. Don't believe the "critic's" reviews; all the low-rated reviews on this site are true. Boring tension with stupid chase sequence, epic villains getting zero backstory, pointless sub-plots, it's all true.
The fact that this POS has such a high rating is testament to the marketing machine Disney has set in motion behind their latest Star Wars installment. Not only is the machine hard at work to gloss over how awful a movie it is, but indeed the film itself is just a vehicle for the behemoth merchandising industry behind all things Star Wars. That's the *only* utility this film serves, because it sure as hell fails in the "entertainment" category.
