Follows the Formula

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2019)

It's a Star Wars movie.
It's fun, and well put together with sweeping scenery and unique locations. The main three get their chance to shine, and Adam Driver steals every scene he's in.
It felt repetitive at times, and like tonal whiplash at others. The first hour didn't feel fully realized and left something to be desired. Sometimes we're meandering through drawn out cameos, and others we're being shoved through the action.
This concludes this groups story, but doesn't fully satisfy, feeling like a patch job instead of a tapestry of the overarching storyline.
There's a lot to nitpick, but a lot to enjoy as well.
Glad we got back to the fun of the series. It's an enjoyable, entertaining watch, but doesn't feel as fully realized as the original trilogy.
