Hopefully it's the last Social Justice Warrior too

Rating: 4/10 (18 January 2018)

Not going to say that I'm the biggest fan of Star Wars- I enjoy the films and the lore but I am in no way fanatical or obsessive about it. With that said I was greatly disappointed in the latest installment.
If you can ignore the many obvious SJW/Feminist aspects throughout this film, you will find a decent story that I think works, but is hardly great or inspiring (with the exception of the finale). I felt that many of the characters were either used improperly or didn't have to be there at all; they tried to make us care about them in an effort to convince the audience that they were important (or meaningful) when it all just came out flat.
On the positive side (and why it got a 4 instead of a 2 from me) I think Adam Driver's performance was nothing short of great and I would also put Mark Hamill in the same category as well. I liked the aesthetics of the film for the most part, and especially in the last phase of the movie. There are some very cool frames within this film and that is the sole reason I will re-watch this movie some day.
In closing, this is a movie that could have been great, but instead of making a great film they chose to make a political point- and it's the Star Wars brand that took the hit. Again, ignoring all of that, there was definitely problems throughout the film both with the story and the placement of characters; to say that the reasons for low ratings is because of misogyny is nonsensical and cheap to the integrity of Star Wars fandom.
