While no Star Wars film is perfect, don't be fooled by cynicism

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2019)

As an avid Star Wars fan I may be a bit more forgiving than some, but the people giving it below a 5/10 had their minds made up before it came out. This was never going to make them happy, they've spent months digging for leaks on a movie they claim to not care about. As someone who was there for the release of the prequels it's pretty common for these movies to get hate on release and be highly appreciated a decade later. This movie is dense, fast movie and I'll admit it should have been 20-30 minutes longer. None of that changes how fun the ride is and how fitting and end to the story It is. While at times you may say to yourself "I didn't expect that" upon reflection it's fitting with the old George Lucas saying "it's like poetry, it rhymes". I say judge the movie for yourself and when you get there just sit back and enjoy the ride.
