Whilst Margot Robbie is an excellent Harley, if placed in a well written more like the comic in say a Gotham City Sirens. The rest of the movie is convoluted mess with shallow characters, no discernible plot. The costumes and fight scenes at the end are pretty bad and to be honest the new Harley cartoon on DC is leagues better than this.

Rushed, convoluted, retcon filled nonsense that disrespects the actual good star wars movies. The crawl alone could have been its own movie. There's no intrigue or setup to Palpatines return, he is just thrown in immediately, nothing is explained, he is just there next to his jar of pickled Snokes. Never mind the fact that him being alive completely negates Anakin's sacrifice and the journey undertaken in the first 6 movies. The characters are bland and boring, Rey is so overpowered its a joke and the new force powers break everything. Finn just runs around shouting REEEEYYY non stop. C3PO, Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca are the only standouts, R2D2 is relegated again to promote new merchandise droids. There is so much nonsense it would take ages to discuss... who was Palps banging??? How are all these ships out here in the middle of nowhere???? The end is hilariously bad, twilight mixed with divergent. And ends with nobody squatting in the name of the actual heroes of the previous movies. No wonder George Lucas didn't go to the premiere...

Awful... destroys the legacy of some of my favourite movies and replaces it was shallow copy of the story of T2 but with an androgynous protector, an implausible saviour of humanity and the worst, lamest, least threatening Terminator (with some trash effects) in any of the movies. RIP Skynet....

Bit of a let down, hammy villain with nonsensical scheme, too much cgi, all attack the villain one at a time... where is the hulk? hiding because he's upset. The movie is mostly held up by the characters people are attached to and the weight of the years and movies behind them. I dislike these comic book movies that get too large and have too much cgi.

I have probably rated this higher than I would have out of the weight of the stories that came before it and seeing the culmination of events, it seems like matters really have weight to them despite things being undone. A more serious movie that suits my taste better with a tone and drama to it not present so much before in the likes of Ragnarok and co. I have serious problems with the time travel nonsense of what and who can do what and I was majorly let down by the portrayal of Thor at seemingly the need to have Captain Mundane fill his role at the end and the treatment of Black Widow (despite Scarletts great acting I feel her character has been dealt with shabbily)

Larson is kind of wooden throughout and comes over as trying to be a cross between snarky downey junior and arnie in T2 but fails at both, convoluted story that's not very interesting due to the limited dull characters. Fury is the standout but cannot hold it up on his own and finishes with the standard cgi mess that MOS, Suicide squad and Apocalypse aren't forgiven for, so this shouldn't be either.
