I never liked Star Wars before, BUT I have always liked Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Laura Dern and Benecio del Torro. These great actors make this story bearable to watch!

Rating: 7/10 (6 December 2019)

I never really liked any of the other Star Wars editions. I dont particularly like this one either, but what makes this edition positively bearable are OSCAR ISAAC, ADAM DRIVER, LAURA DERN AND BENECIO DEL TORRO. These GREAT actors usually only play in small, yet brilliant arthouse movies. These are all renowned actors, who have played in many classics. Solely their presence made me curious enough to start watching this Star Wars movie. And this Start Wars edition is quite ok, as far as these blockbuster's made for teenagers can ever be ok...
For any adult or non Star Wars fan out there, this is my advice: it's a commercial mass audience formula spectacle. It's nothing truly special, but then again there has never been ANY Star Wars edition that was truly special, because these movies are silly and childish. BUT these Star Wars movies can (occasionally) be quite entertaining. And this edition is rather entertaining, with terrific actors starring in it. This Star Wars edition is for grown ups as well. Seriously.
Conclusion: Dont believe the hype, because this movie is NOT terrific. BUT dont believe the haters either, because this movie is definitely entertaining. It's simply mindless entertainment. To be consumed as such...
