It was terrible until it was not

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2020)

This movie started off campy, hokey, too fan service focused. A lot like the rest of the series. It was definitely a little too short, missing some of that character building between Finn and Rey etc. It was deeply ridiculous, to the point I rolled my eyes. But that extreme lows of this movie was matched by extreme highs. The cinematography and music were next level even for ST, the scenery and puppetry was as well. The story arc tho, inspired, the chemistry of Rey and Ben was palpable. The cheese of star wars as a whole was blasted full tilt but so was its romantic heroism. It was a lot. And it was fun, sad, hilarious, stupid and very very memorable. I'll watch this again and again.
