If it wasn't Star Wars it would get better ratings

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2019)

I'd heard some bad things about this film but the truth is its really rather good. I loved the original trilogy, didn't much care for the next three but have quite enjoyed this final 3.
For me this is the best since Return of the Jedi and the key to a good SW movie imo is in the casting and they've done it well for this series. Poe is what Solo should be so I hope there is a spin off there, perhaps with Finn.
There's a good balance of old and new characters, a bit of sadness, good humour and lovely cinematography.
Sometimes it gets confusing and I suspect a directors cut would enhance some scenes, but if you haven't seen it go with an open mind and you'll probably really enjoy it as I did.
