I couldn't help but like the porgs, but the rest is shight.

Rating: 2/10 (3 January 2018)

Having watched the flick and read/watched a bazillion reviews to figure out what it is about this flick that really bugs me, I've just grown more sad that apparently there are two completely different sets of humanoids now occupying this planet. One set of homo sapiens is made happy when they watch stories with real characters overcoming real obstacles by making wise choices and hard sacrifices. The other set of humanoids is happy to be stimulated by any means necessary and doesn't really care if the experience is authentic or not as long as the stimulation was pleasant and non-threatening.
I count myself among the first category, and I am heartened to see the humongous amount of film goers that apparently are in that same category. I won't bother recounting the endless disappointments, the glaring plot holes, the insults to an even average person's intelligence as I don't really care if anyone reading this needs my "supporting evidence" and most of these items have been pretty thoroughly listed by now anyway. How anyone can seriously view this movie and not be embarrassed for the whole production crew is amazing to me. Then again, this whole country just seems more and more irredeemably divided in mysterious ways that even a jedi seems incapable of reconciling.
