Pleasantly Surprised

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2019)

After hearing so much negative reviews about this for the last couple of weeks, I was at odds to even attend this movie. So glad I went. For all the negative reviews, I find them just ridiculous. This end was not only fitting but tied things together, even after episode 8 was lack luster, this movie swooped in and brought it all together. I dont believe it fixed anything, I thing it expanded and added to the story in a way that brought conclusion to this trilogy.
I know that this is supposedly the end of the Skywalker story, but I really felt like they left it wide open at the end to expand Reys story. Were there some things in it that I didnt like, sure, much like Hayden Christensen as Anakin, I felt That Adam Driver was also a whining little b%#@$... But looking back, I believe that was the intent by the writers. I guess the Sith are supposed to be at odds with their feelings. Which, when looking at it from that point of view, they were portrayed very well.
Overall, I found this movie one of the better since the original trilogy!!
