Was not expecting much. Pleasantly surprised.

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2019)

Not a masterpiece, but definitely not the utter crap some people make it to be. The movie has great moments, a few meh moments, and a couple WTF, super cringy moments... But it's a proper send off to characters we've loved for 42 years. I usually intensely dislike JJ's style, but I must say in this movie, he did a very good job. It's visually stunning, entertaining, and the fan service is intense but smarter than in TFA, so it's not as disturbing. Don't believe people who say you will love this if you hated TLJ. I loved TLJ for what it tried to accomplish, I thought TFA was pretty bad overall, and I think this one is pretty good and stands on proper foundations to make a good Star Wars movie. Could it be better ? All movies have flaws. Is it worth seeing in the theater ? Absolutely.
