Vastly Inferior to "The Force Awakens"

Rating: 6/10 (7 January 2018)

I was never into Starwars but watched the Force Awakens a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. I could not wait for this installment. I knew about thirty minutes into the movie it was not going to be able to touch The Force Awakens. Characters I loved in the other one I did not find as interesting in this one. I also thought that Rey, Kyle, and Luke were all underwhelming in this movie as they spent so much building up their appearances and back stories on the last movie. There were questions during the last movie left unanswered which left me longing for this one to get answers to these questions. This movie seemed to provide a very bland explanation and those questions had no relevance to this movie (for example, Rey's parentage). I also thought they made Kylo more of a wimp than a menacing, interesting character and Skywalker more of a joke than anything else. Not bad, but no where near the previous installment.
