Watch the film, don't let the reviewers undermine your entertainment.

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2019)

I must have watched a different film to the other reviewers giving it low scores.
It's not a perfect film, but at 140 minutes the film zips along at a frantic pace jumping from one set piece to another with nods to the original trilogy and cameos. In a world where every piddling film is released an event, this one is an event.
The film suffers the same problem as others in all the films we don't get the scale of time and distance, every one appears to cross the galaxy with ease, but there again it's a space fantasy not a film about logistics.
I have had the privilege of seeing this series over 42 years, and yep it struggled in the middle series but can honestly say I was satisfied with this film, wether the actors can build careers outside of this film is going to be interesting.
If you are watching the film for the sake of ticking it of the list, maybe give it a miss that way the nay sayers on here can win their battle. If you want to see how this cycle ends go watch it, ignore the negativity and go along for the ridd
Stick through the credits and you get to hear John Williams score.
