A crappy Sci-Fi Action movie that claims to be a "Star Wars" movie.

Rating: 4/10 (15 December 2017)

1) Story? You mean STORIES! And there's like 5 or 6 of them crammed into a nearly 3-hour long movie. As soon as you start to get up to speed, they INSTANTLY cut back to another subplot! Between Rey, Luke, Kylo, Fin, Poe, Leia,....It's just way too much. I felt like I was trying to read 3 books at once. It's what modern day cinema likes to do best though...make a bigger script for the sake of having a bigger movie. I know this because when a movie(s) have multiple climaxes, that's very bad story pacing. It feels more connected to the prequel trilogy rather than the sequel trilogy.
2) This movie got way too carried away with the cutaway humor. They keep ruining scenes, AND CHARACTERS, with the random comedic moments. When you do that many cutaway jokes, you DESTROY the emotion and flair that the characters were building up. The movie has constant need for comic relief...again it feels like something out of the prequel trilogy. I don't care if you have hammy acting or melodrama...at least you still have SUBSTANCE. It's like they put in the outtakes on purpose...
3) HOW is this movie an 86/100?? How much did Disney bribe these critics to give them a good rating? Did Minnie Mouse give them the House of Mouse special and blow their steam willies? Seems highly biased if you ask me. And who's giving the movie 9/10 and 10/10?? Ill tell you who... MINDLESS CONSUMERS! As long as it's STAR WARS...as long as you have cute little CGI characters and loveable little droids...as long as you have fancy SFX (kudos to the CG artists though)...as long as you drag out the ol' cast and crew...as long as you have BIG MOVIE making BIG MONEY...you're movie's gonna be a hit to all the little kiddies and all the clueless parents!!!!!
4) EVEN THE ACTION WAS DISAPPOINTING. The opening scene was alright, but everything else was just LAME. The space battles didn't bring anything new to the playground...just all things we've seen before. THERE WASN'T EVEN A GOOD LIGHTSABER FIGHT. Rey and Kylo don't even fight...they fight those palace guards (that I admit were pretty cool), and when Luke goes to fight Kylo it just becomes kind of nothing. THERE WASNT EVEN A LIGHTSABER DUEL.
Between the 5 stories crammed into 1, the excessive comic relief, the lazy action, the NO ACTUAL LIGHTSABER DUEL, the pointless new characters, the poor character development...This is one of the few times that I have to say NO to Star Wars. DON'T LISTEN TO THESE PROFESSIONAL "CRITICS". I've seen a good Star Wars movie...this is just an overhyped movie that wants to be "Star Wars".
