Did not feel like Star Wars: My first review

Rating: 4/10 (15 December 2017)

I'm a huge Cinefile...I've loved movies before I could tie my own laces, and I'll watch anything at least once out of love and curiosity. So below is my honest opinion of Star Wars the last Jedi.
The dark side NEVER do comedy. It should have stayed that way. Disney have created a fun family feature series away from the original sci-fi, sometimes gritty underdog story. Rogue One maintained a great level of realism...this has been lost.
Pandering to all ages has removed the longevity of such a great franchise. We should let people get to an age that allows them to understand the true original nature of the Star Wars universe.
I feel let down as a fan, by the sudden change of direction. Maybe we should have seen this coming.
The movie was entertaining and visually stunning. But, for me. This is no longer Star Wars that I once loved.
