Space adventure eye candy, but forget the story

Rating: 6/10 (16 December 2017)

I work at the cinema and every movie I get to screen, I check if it will play right. That includes skipping few scenes, check picture and sound and I turn it off if everything is ok. Through skipping scenes, I saw a few that looked really engaging and I've decided to make a little cinema screening for myself before the people come in to see the movie. That was the first time I have done it and won't do that again for SW movie. Not worth it.
I like the original SW movies (episodes I-III were ok, nice to look at), but I am not die hard fan of the series. TFA was ok, Rouge One not so much and this one... I really don't know anymore what this hype is all about.
BAD:
I actually didn't care for anyone in this movie, characters were just running around and everything they've done was failure. That is not a bad thing for plot if you can make me care for characters (this one here is not the case). Every character is just...meh. They made a grumpy old man out of Luke (was expecting this after TFA ending), Leia flies through the space - that really IS the worst scene in movie, no matter what the explanation is, Rey was boring as always, BB-8 goes Die Hard Bruce Willis tough, Poe is like angry rebelious teenager and Snoke...who the f*** is Snoke? There is no explanation who he is, what are his motivations and where did he came from? That guy is the mystery. And not so dangerous like he was presented to us, so that part looks like they HAD to put someone who will be killed by Kylo to take the command of the bad guys.
GOOD:
Snokes red room and guardians (that thing was so Kurosawa-like), Adam Driver was great, after movie ended all that was stick with me from all of it is his performance. Great actor. As for Benicio Del Toro's character (who was ok), did you also heard a little Franky Four-Fingers from "Snatch."? I really like that movie. Actors were great, but the story was just boring. Chewbacca was invisible here, but I love that guy no matter where you put him.
After public screening in cinema, only one guy was really satisfied with the movie. Everyone else were dissapointed and blamed Disney, 20 people got out of theatre before the movie was over. Tough audience or is it movie to blame?
For me, movie got 6 stars because it is little eye-candy - it kept me entertained, but really didn't care for the plot really. I would recommend to wait for Blu-Ray or DVD release, would never pay ticket for this mediocre movie. Will watch the extras of movie shooting (if there were one) on DVD/Blu-Ray, that is always more interesting.
