Reviews aren't just for people who've seen all the previous movies. A perspective from someone who hasn't seen the previous ones can be useful for other people who haven't seen the previous ones. We can't limit reviews to just people who are fans.

That's not to say this is a good review.

I 100% agree on principle. But this movie is crafted such that, it would be like reviewing Deathly Hallows part 2 without seeing the first 7 or reading a book.

Sure you could write that review. But who is it for?
