If you were expecting another New Hope or Empire you're stupid

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2020)

Mainly rating this a 10 to balance out reviews...
Complaints which actually make a bit of sense:
-The movie was a bit rushed, but this is mainly because of all the mistakes made by the director of The Last Jedi... not much happened in that stagnant/long/boring movie and I thought the directors of IX did the best they could in explaining things that should have been explained in the last movie as well as this one.

Does Fin have the force? There are several hints to this but its never explained fully.

Complaints made by those who expected something beyond perfection and never wished to give the film a chance to begin with:

"the plot is bad and Palpetine coming back is silly." This critique simply isn't true, from the very beginning of the movie we know of Palpetine's plans with his new Final Order, the importance of a Sith Wayfinder and why Ray and friends are searching for it, just because you're hunting for things to complain about doesn't mean the plot isn't structured well. As for Palpetine, I was afraid of this resurrection, but him actually dying and using dark Sith magic to resurrect himself (as he discussed with Anakin in Revenge of the Sith) makes a lot more sense than him somehow never dying.

-"Ray and her friends visit too many different planets, therefore the movie is bad...?" Yes, Ray and the crew visit many different planets, but it is always in the greater pursuit of their goal in finding a Sith Wayfinder, once again this is people who already had their minds made up.
-"Force healing is stupid because we've never seen it before." Remember, Ben Solo and Ray are supposed to be the two most powerful Jedi who ever lived! Not just because of their bloodline, but also their bond with eachother. Ray was preforming Jedi mind tricks in Force Awakens (usually reserved for Jedi Knights) with no training in the force at all! Because of this it stands to reason that new powers could develop.
While not as good as the two best films in the saga (New Hope and Empire) Episode IX is a very good film which can compete with any other movie in the saga for third best. Because its the final movie, people foolishly expected something as good or better than the 2 originals and are now doing their best to tear it down.
