Why the hate? I loved it

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2019)

This is a great final installment in the Star Wars "Skywalker" movies. To all those who think it's too complicated, it falls on its face, it's made only for money or toys because DISNEY, it's just stupid and cheesy, or it's just BAD, I do not, I repeat, DO NOT see what they mean. This is a movie series about space battles and ninja laser sword people that actually has a following on global scale. All these nerds sweating too much because Star Wars isn't how they wanted it to be gotta calm the down. Let me give you some examples of why I rated this 9/10
Daisy Ridley as Rey:
Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. Her struggle with the dark side and being afraid of who she is (or who's she's descended from) is tied with the best part of this movie (along with Kyle Ren's storyline). Daisy Ridley literally made this struggle feel so real and human. You can imagine someone who does not want to be the same as their parent or grandparent and would do anything to run from that. "BUT HOW IS SHE DESCENDED FROM PALPATINE?! THATS SUCH A CLICHE!"
Ummmm how? The same people saying it's dumb that she's descended from palpatine are the same people wanting her to be a skywalker. Come on people. She can be descended from a powerful sith and want to fight against that. Give it a break.
Anyway, Rey is fantastic. I found her real and relatable, and more than that, a badass. And what's this about a Mary Sue? Shut up, seriously.
another plus:
KYLO REN
Full disclaimer, my brother and I totally called that he would either
1. Die evil
2. Turn good and either die or live
That was an easy prediction. But nonetheless, I loved the way it happened. He finally gave into the light. And it was powerful the way he sacrificed himself. I loved his entire story arc.
I'll say that I didn't really know why the emperor would tell Rey about his plan to have her kill him?? Why not just let her do it and your plan be fulfilled? So that was a little dumb. I'm going to be honest, other than that, I'd love to hear some criticism that is legitimate. Here's some criteria
1. It's not criticism based on silly space physics incongruity. It's a space movie. Be quite please nerds.
2. It's not criticism based solely upon what YOU would think is a creative way to end this series. Newsflash nerds. There is literally like 3 and a half million people that could have an opinion on how this movie ends. Let them end it without you complaining about it, good lord.
3. It's not criticism based on "the plot is convoluted and I'm confused!"
Seriously. How? It's good vs bad, and good person feels pull to bad, but ultimately doesn't go bad.... huh? Like, are you serious? The original series was just the same. Come oooonnnn people.
Final verdict: I like this movie. A lot. A lot of these complaints are REALLY nit picky. Like REALLY. As a movie production, I quite literally see (or hear) zero flaws in HOW this movie was made. It's cliche, it's basic in story, and it's about space ninjas. But it's also FUN, it's inspiring, it's hopeful, and it's about SPACE NINJAS.
Don't be an old fart thinking this movie should be "serious" or "break the mold". Be a kid for gods sake. Enjoy this while you have it.
