Star Wars 8: Review

Rating: 6/10 (28 May 2018)

After Force Awakens which left me a lot of questions, i hoped star wars 8 would answer most of them in a satisfying way. I would just like to say that i am a huge star wars fan and i am not being paid to write this, the originals have always been my top 3 in the franchise, the first 2 prequels were not truly satisfying, the third one was one of the best, seventh was entertaining if unoriginal and rogue one was not bad at all. i am not a porfessional reviewer so i will just write out the good and bad qualities of this film
Good:
. Rian Johnson creates a film that is distinctive in tradition and humour to the rest of the franchise which is interesting to see
. Performances are brilliant, particularly Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill and Adam Driver
. Visual effects are still awesome(It is Star Wars obviously)
. Good messages and themes of atoning for ones mistakes
. Brilliant action scenes, if not as innovative as the prequels and originals.
Bad:
.Humour is sometimes overused, which sometimes affects the emotional weight of the film
. The plot is lacking and contains some plot holes particularly inconstencies with the previous installment.
. Finn and Poe's subplots are lacking
. Some characters lack development
. still asks more questions than it answers
Overall, I would recommend this film to any major star wars fan and sci-fi fan, however this film will not agree with any star wars fan but my advice is just to give it a shot and see for youselves. Originally i had mixed thoughts on this film but after watching it a second time, it grew on me.
