Anticlimatic

Rating: 1/10 (29 December 2017)

The whole movie jumps from one great feeling built up and ruined immediately. Every scene where it feels like now its going to happen, the tension is removed and some new mindless plot starts.
Dropped and failed subplots have been mentioned by many. Now, to be fair, its kinda realistic to depict a failure every now and then. However, the subplot with Finn and Rose was a total waste. The right way to do it would be to at least redeem the cryptovillain from his evil ways, like a new Han Solo character.
Finn and Rose miraculously escape without adding anything to the story. They didn't have anything to offer the rebellion either. No map or anything.
On the topic of maps, the map to Luke's location turns out to be useless... Luke doesn't want to be found and will not help.
Luke was manic depressive and Yoda was high on drugs.
Rey was my favorite character in VII but now her blandness reaches new heights. Without any struggle, without any training, she faces the beckoning of the dark side without breaking a sweat (touches mirror) and handles Snoke's high guard without problem (again, without any training).
Considering that she is the first on-screen female Jedi character, it would have been interesting to have a more intricate story built around the question of her gender. In my fantasies, Rey meets Rose, who in her nerdniness has collected Jedi books and reads them to Rey, who isn't one for formal education herself. Rose would become the swordbearer of this female knight. I could see a cringeworty humorous scene where Rose reads to Rey and says 'it says here anchient woman jedi would drink the milk of thala sirens to repleish their midi-chlorian count during their periods' or something like that. You know, kinda like Anakin struggled with his hormones. But no, Rey is basically playing a male character with no thought given to her femininity.
Jaw droppingly bad movie. More like a mindless action blast.
