Is it great? No. Is it bad? Not quite also.

Rating: 8/10 (12 April 2020)

I was quite shocked when I see this Star Wars entry got bad reviews everywhere (58% on Rotten Tomatoes!). I decided to lower my expectations before I see this film, although I'm still a bit optimistic that this film will entertain me and finishing The Skywalker Saga nicely. When I finally walked out from the theater, my feelings are really, really mixed. This film really has some problems as everyone says. Uneven pacing at some parts, forced twists (Rey's linage), and some characters handling are unsatisfactory (especially for Ben Solo :"). But at some parts, I was fairly enjoyed by this film. The action and visuals are breathtaking, John Williams's score still awesome as ever, some appearance of the old faces makes me nostalgic af, and finally, we can see the main trio of this sequel trilogy (Rey - Finn - Poe) interacting together. A problematic, yet, at some parts, a quite fitting conclusions of The Skywalker Saga.
7.5/10
