Offensive movies with gender and race stereotypes. Not very compelling stories for characters. Dumb plots.

Rating: 2/10 (18 January 2018)

I am all for diversity. I cheered with my daughters for Rey in Force Awakens. Her character was developing nicely and we rooted for her in the last movie. In this movie she is a sad shell of herself from the first movie. She does nothing we liked. The interaction with Kylo Ren though interesting did not make sense. He killed his father in front of her and now she wants to save him a few days or week later. We don't buy that plot. The line about Kylo being shirtless was cringe worthy. Leia all of sudden showing Super Woman flying in space powers was cringe worthy. The Rose character acting like a fan girl who is strict to do her duties is a poor Asian girl stereotype my daughters did not appreciate. Haldo acts like a women who has to prove herself by putting men down. That is not how females in leadership positions much less military high rank act. Haldo's stereotype is almost as bad as Rose's. The rest of the movie plots are forgettable. We lost interest in Star Wars after this movie. The humor were funny at times but this did not feel like a Star Wars movie. I assume Disney is trying to win the next generation of fans by acting like movies we see now such as Avengers, X-men and cartoons. Maybe it is working for this generation. It is lost on me. My family enjoyed Jumanji much more than this movie.
