Simply not a good movie

Rating: 4/10 (19 December 2017)

Though I have watched all Star Wars movies multiple times, I do not consider myself a fan. I did not read any comics/books or additional information about the universe, I just simply enjoy watching the movies and be amazed by them.
In my opinion TLJ is worth only 4 stars. 1 star is given because it is a Star Wars movie, 2 stars for the nostalgy factor in the movie and 1 star out of respect for Carrie Fisher. And that is it.
The movie lacks of a plot. I remember watching the animated Clone Wars series back in the day and sometimes I felt more excitement in those 20 minutes then now in the 150 minutes.
Though it is said in the movie to leave the past behind and forget everything etc. (which probably is an indication for the future movies) it would be nothing without the past - first they set Luke as a grumpy man who lost his faith, but then Yoda from the PAST guides him back to the path, new sweet looking creatures which we could see in the PAST etc). Not a single new tune in the score, not a single answer to the new questions, we don't really know more about our new heroes, they are just running around during the entire movie. Basically the best moments were the ones which has to do something with the PAST and without those moments the movie would worth 1 star.
I particularly like that many fans were creating stories about Snoke and the parents of Rey, none of which gets answered since it is said in the movie that 'it doesn't matter and forget the past' and the huge amount of fans are simply OK with it and consider this one of the biggest twists in the movie. I consider it lack of creativity and letting people down.
Hopefully for the next movie they will get themselves together and create a good story with some excitement and better twists and also some deeper characters, and please at least a new great tune.
