A poor standalone movie, let alone when connected to others in the series

Rating: 1/10 (20 December 2017)

NO SPOILERS CONTAINED IN THIS REVIEW
Very surprised like most to see such glowing reviews from critics. Perhaps this is a film that will actually do some good as it has exposed the deep ties that the industry has, and the influence that it has, over supposedly independent critics. It is amusing to see how many articles are now coming out to try to explain the disconnect between many cinema goers and the critics. Most of them are twisting themselves in knots, blaming movie goers for simply being stuck in the past and not being able to take a new direction, but all ignore one main issue. And that is: EVEN ON IT'S OWN, THIS FILM HAS A TERRIBLE PLOT. You can read other reviews to see what I'm talking about. Suffice to say that the best description I can come up with is that it appears to have been written by a Star Wars/Lord of the Rings/Marvel fanboy who is 12 years old and has a severe case of Attention Deficit Disorder. Yes, it really is that incoherent.
