Star Wars is fun again!

Rating: 8/10 (29 August 2019)

Man, this movie is great. I'd place it just below the first of the prequels in terms of how interesting it is to watch. It has incredible action and visual effects, interesting storylines, building anticipation and a payoff at the end. What really shines here are the combat sequences, which are easily the best out of all the Star Wars movies, new ones inluded. They are well coreographed and fun, characters try to outsmart their enemies instead of brute-forcing it (like they do in the new movies), and the ending leaves an impact. Even more than that, the setting of the movie is fun. It shows a lot of places that haven't seen the light of day before in Star Wars, the different fauna that lives in them, and characters interact with it. It's incredible. Recommended for any sci-fi fan!
