Still worth watching for sure

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2019)

People have been tearing this movie to shreds, and I honestly think they're being way over dramatic. This was a good movie, not great, but definitely good.
The biggest apparent issue with this film is that it is clear the previous director (Johnson) had a certain vision of how he wanted this trilogy to end and Abrams had another. Most of the film feels like Abrams is trying very hard to undo some of the canon from the previous film, as a result there are several inconsistencies. However, this in of itself to me, does not make it a bad movie. It is still well written, the acting is still top notch, the visuals are still on point. Is it the best Star Wars movie? No. But there are enough good elements within the movie that I definitely think this is a movie worth watching and rewatching somewhere down the line. For the sake of not spoiling anything, I'll simply say go and see it for yourself and then you can decide.
