Very disappointing, but will make a ton of money

Rating: 5/10 (22 December 2017)

Anybody who grew up loving the original star wars movies will have issue with this movie I think, I can verify this by saying that everyone of my generation who had an interest in Star Wars, generally thought the movie sucked.
My kids loved it, and there in lies the problem with Disney and making Star Wars movies. They are aiming then at a large audience of everywhere from 4 to 70. But they have yet to learn you cant aim something at all demographics.
But hey, it will earn them a couple billion, even if it was bad and disloyal to the star wars universe(and I say this without being a fanboi, just enjoy the movies).
I mean, so many holes and nuances in the movie, but none more than the Rebel fleet running away (yet again) this time down to just a handful of ships, that all can apparently outrun imperial star destroyers (because the rebel ships are more lightweight, in space....), and despite there only being 3 Rebel ships left at the end, running away from the multiple destroyers, the first order fighters are too scared to engage because the cruisers cant cover them from that range !!!!!
I was not looking forward to this movie ever since episode 7 disappointed me, though I was happy it was better than episodes 2 and 3 (wont even mention 1 for obvious reasons). But then I bought into the hype a couple months before the movie, but was oh so bitterly disappointed.
Unfortunately, I now hold out zero hope for episode 9.
