Awful in almost every way

Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2017)

Having seen the film, I can see why Mark Hamill hated the script and its treatment of Luke Skywalker. This movie was awful in every way except the cinematography. What's most shocking for me were the 'spoiler-free' reviews in mainstream media which contained flat-out incorrect statements or facts about the movie. Either those reviewers watched a different version of the movie, or they never watched the movie at all and were just paid to publish some positive drivel and "facts" provided to them by the studio. An amazing misfire in the SW series and the first one which doesn't feel like a SW movie at all.
