What has just happened? It's good that in the space no one can hear the screams...

Rating: 3/10 (4 January 2018)

I'm a real fan of SW. Not overly fanatic, but I really like the SW universe, and generally enjoy good sci-fi or fantasy movies. I even sometime write stories, etc (so I know a bit about world-building, character development, drama, etc).
Here I could see a lot of things happening, but 80% of that never really made any sense. It's like watching a bunch of ads in a chaotic order. This also means that there were enjoyable 3-4 minutes if I could completely ignore what happened before and after that little window. So I can say I generally liked 30 mins of the movie in appr. 10 little sections, where the in-between has been filled with various nonsense (lousy space battles, bad acting, mindless action, fun-killing stupid jokes, ok, the later could be enjoyable for someone below 12).
Finn and Rose. Why??? Stupid story, bad characters, lost potential. Their travel to the "Casino World" totally lame.
Poe? Not bad, if he got shot to the head after the first 10 mins because he disobeyed orders. Or just get thrown out through an airlock by some comrades. Sadly he survived and kept doing things, which resulted in the further loss of rebel forces.
Wait... Rebel Forces? Again? Didn't they defeat the Galactic Empire and founded the New Galactic Republic? Or what has happened? Any tiny bit of info? Please? ...
And there's Snoke. Not too much background, but something started to happen. I really started to get interested in that dark jedi (or sith?). After all, not a Gollam reincarnation. And than he dies. Stupidly. Sorry that I ever cared.
...
I came out from the movie and thought, hey, I can write something much better during the weekend. Better story, better characters... and so could a few hundreds of available and keen Hollywood story and script writers.
...
Or I'm just too old. Soon turning 40. Maybe it's only me, who wants a good story, complex characters... maybe for the new generation big booms, shiny colors and mighty sound effects are just enough.
I also had to add some positives. I sensed that during the creation of this movie they tried to correct the mistakes of the Force Awakens. Good attitude. Critical failure. Someone has to invite me for the next SW movie, because I just refuse to pay for this s**t.
