Ouch!

Rating: 1/10 (5 January 2018)

Wow! That was bad. I'm afraid watching Episode VIII was almost an almost physically painful experience. Going in I knew the reviews were bad, so I was braced for a real clunker. However, it was much worse than I expected. Plenty of reviewers on IMDB have forensically dissected the many problems associated with this film, so I won't re-tread that ground. All I'll add is that the producers and/or the director seem to have taken the deliberate decision to reconfigure the Star Wars universe to make it feel more like a super hero franchise. Bad move. Very bad move. 1/10 - dull, un-engaging and a real clunker.
