5/10
I'll keep it short and tidy, almost mediocre
24 December 2021
Almost mediocre for me is a 5.7 and this ain't it.

This movie is entirely too meta. The foundation for a reason to follow up is hollow and unsatisfying.

The changes to the lore add nothing and only detract from the initial prestige of the franchise.

It feels overly expensive and simultaneously cheap.

It feels the way I did after realized The Force Awakens was just a rehash of the originals but with an accurate atmosphere of the universe.

The difference here is that you'll realize it before the film is over half way complete.

The tone is right but the devices to achieve a plot are empty, rhetorical, aesthetically pleasing nonsense with no soul.

I had hopes of a decent film after the first 20 minutes or so but then it starts a free fall.

I hope you like it as a popcorn flick but it's entirely too long to be such a disappointing cash grab.

The juice ain't worth the squeeze is all I'm sayin folks.
