Boring film that spits in the face of everything that makes Star Wars special.

Rating: 1/10 (23 February 2018)

Went to see the movie with my dad (both of us are life-long Star Wars fans), expecting to see another great chapter in the saga. Unfortunately, everything that made Star Wars the great movies that they are, are no where to be seen. Where are the characters we are supposed to care about? This is Star Wars, where are the lightsaber battles, besides that whatever it was with kylo, rey, and the red guys. Worst of all, the totally deflating, slap in the face, last "battle" for Luke. The movie was so boring that I looked at my watch quite a few times to see when this would ever end and even almost feel asleep watching this movie. We left with a feeling of disbelief, anger, and shock.
Before I wrote this, I wanted to see what others were saying to see if I was being too hard on the film or maybe I missed something. after looking through tons of reviews, I realized I was in the majority, despite the off the wall 7.4 rating this movie supposedly has. What was really telling for me while reading the reviews, was the details given for why people liked or hated the movie. The majority of the people who hated the movie gave exact details on what they didn't like and why. The handful of good reviews were for the most part very generic....ok you loved the direction that so and so took, well that's great, but what SPECIFICALLY did you like about the direction? Those good review specifics are VERY few and far between. So take from that what you will.
This is not my star wars and definitely NOT my luke skywalker. I could actually care less about seeing IX and what happens to the characters who we are supposed to care about but don't.
