The perfect sequel to the original movie. Nice story line, good acting, some funny moments and lots of adrenaline. They managed to keep the original vibes while giving the movie a more modern cut. The airplane fights are really excellent!

After all the waiting and hype, I was expecting something better than this, but I should have known better...

Recently Star Wars has become all about:

• Disrespecting iconic characters (e.g. Luke, Obi Wan), showing them as weakened and broken, especially if representative of "toxic masculinity";
• Introducing new irrelevant characters portrayed by mediocre actors; all new characters must be chosen in specific ethnic groups to enforce an unnecessary D&I concept that is out of place in a sci-fi movie;
• Weak plots with no added value to the story, which is diluted in several episodes just to create more material to watch.

The Italian dubbing is awful. Some words were "Italianised" directly from English, they don't really make sense.

Examples: "Classified" translated as "Classificato" instead of "Riservato" (altering the meaning); "Remote (control)" translated as "Remoto" which is an adjective and completely unrelated to an actual remote control.

In my opinion, Rogue One remains the only spin off worth to be seen so far.

This movie builds on the nowadays common stereotypes where mothers don't have a job in spite of being truly brilliant, being able to steer through a myriad of daily chores and activities with kids while working fathers are completely useless, showing that they would never cope with switching roles, not even for 10 days. I find this rather sexist and insulting.

Apart from this there are some fun situations here and there, but overall it's just below average humour.
