Good movie, just a bad star wars movie

Rating: 4/10 (14 December 2017)

I'm not sure what the direction of this movie was going for. Everything that was mysterious in the TFA, is either belittled and tossed away, or executed poorly. Also, for a continuation of the Skywalker saga it felt misplaced as it leaves you confused and out of words, which is never a good thing for a Star Wars movie. However, as a movie, by itself, it is enjoyable and fun, but as a Star Wars movie, it is severly lacking in terms of a compelling mythical story, which the franchise is often associated with. I can also understand those who think that the franshise has been radically "disneyfied". Therefore, I left the theatre quite disappointed and I wonder how the next installment will ever redeem this trilogy.
