Bad beyond belief.

Rating: 4/10 (24 July 2018)

The new star wars characters have no real charisma, personalities of brown cardboard boxes really, it kills any chance of a half decent film. If you're going to introduce new characters to replace the old guard then they really should have at least a small amount of charisma for a start. This has to be the worst, slowest, most boring star wars movie to date, with plot holes the size of a death star. And like someone else pointed out, it tries to be Harry Potter in space at times, that is, MAGICAL!
In stark contrast, 'The Force Awakens' that came shortly before it is a great fun film that captures some of the excitement of the first 3 films in the star wars series. Better luck next time.
