So, what exactly happened in this movie? Well, nothing really.

Rating: 2/10 (18 December 2017)

I had high hopes for this movie, especially after the positive reviews. I got my tickets for early morning opening day and stepped into the theatre. Things started out mostly ok, but soon took a turn for the worse. It felt like I was watching an empty shell of a movie. We learned nothing new about the new characters, no back story, no real character progression of any kind. Old characters acted completely out of character. Horrible forced jokes that made me cringe at least twice. Completely useless sub-plots and scenes scattered throughout that could have just been dropped. None of the characters seemed to grow or progress in any way at all. This movie had so much potential. Star Wars is a family saga, but instead the film-makers decided to kill that off and invest instead in cheap, hollow, disposable characters that seemed to be there for little more than selling more toys. Shame on you Disney.
