Who are these people saying its poor?

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2019)

Great Star Wars film. Full of action, great set pieces, humour & emotion. Yes it's a bit making it up after TLJ but I don't care. I think JJ has pulled the rabbit out of the hat and produced a Star Wars movie that most hardened cynics couldn't help but like. I agree with Mark Kermode on Radio One when he said that the scenes featuring Carrie Fisher look like they were written to fit what footage they had and yes seeing her in those scenes does seem a little odd as it doesn't quite fit but it works imo. We had to have Leigh in this film and it was far more fitting & decent to have not gone down the Rogue One process of replicating her. I love this film but I need to see it again (and again and again) to see whether the emotion has clouded my judgement. In saying that, now after just seeing it for the first time, I think it's the best Star Wars film after IV & V. Wonderful. 9/10.
