Not bad, just needs work

Rating: 5/10 (19 December 2019)

Soooo I just saw the movie and here are my thoughts without any spoilers.
People blame a lot how messy the plot of the movie was, but you have to realize this trilogy had a lot of messy turns. With the Force Awakens JJ Abrams had ground to work on and understood the Star Wars franchise well. JJ Abrams did a good job at executing the story and had a goal in mind for the characters, knew where they where coming from and had a clear idea of the Star Wars Universe.
When The Last Jedi came Ryan threw all the effort of JJ Abrams to the trash. He changed soo much from the story, and at times it didn't feel anymore like a Star Wars movie. So many things fans wanted to find out about Rey where treated as no big deal, and certain plot lines where forced. So when JJ Abrams came back for this one he had a lot of cleaning to do.
Look I'm not saying this movie was perfect, it was far from it, but in all honesty I quite enjoyed it. The theater where I went to see the movie had very enthusiastic reactions all throughout. JJ Abrams in my opinion executed a very brilliant ending of the franchise, with some small plot holes, but overall in my opinion a good ending. It certainly wasn't the best cause frankly if you were to make me chose between these movie and Avengers Endgame I would chose Avengers Endgame.
But this movie wasn't as bad.
The reason why I give it 5 stars instead of 10 is because of the ultimate mess that was the writing of this entire trilogy. The Star Wars Universe is far from over, they will certainly release new series on Disney + and will come up with cool stories, but I would say it gave good closure to this franchise. This movie did feel a bit like fan service, but you have to realize that Star Wars wouldn't have prevailed if it wasn't for the fans. JJ Abrams really understood the fans and wanted to see them get the best ending possible even with all the multiple plot holes inside.
