One word: Disjointed.....

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2019)

Here's a more honest review, since most people are so hell-bent on exaggerating their point and rating this either a 1 or a 10 which is wrong on both counts.
First of all, i think these new movies with 'Rey' are horrible when compared to the original saga. Not because i'm a die-hard fan or because i think the canon story-line should be preserved; rather it's because the core template or formula that made the first few movies successful does not apply to the recent movies; These movies have no coherent plot and the audience is not fully invested in the characters.
I do think this movie is marginally better than the previous two, but that's not saying much. Some small scenes do work well, and the small occasional fragments of coherent plot are quite good, but the buck stops there. In terms of the negative aspects of the movie; It's hard to make sense of the storyline, it's incredinly disjointed. One commentor summarized it perfectly by saying it feels like a 2 hour trailer. I can almost imagine the writer's room throwing a bunch of ideas into a basket and just collecting as many of them as possible and forcing them into the movie. It has way too much fan-service. Its clear they tried so hard to appease fans that they gave them whatever they thought they wanted, but it fails spectacularly.
In short, is it terrible? No. Is it a good Star Wars movie? Not by a long shot, and anyone who says otherwise is easily amused by special effects regardless of plot line
