Enjoyable and satisfying conclusion to the saga

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2019)

Ignore the silly haters, the divisive fans with an axe to grind, the critics who take themselves too seriously.
This is a solid, enjoyable Star Wars movie, with great characters, and fun, thrilling moments. Loose ends are tied up in satisfying ways, and c'mon: Who doesn't love Palps?
Daisy Ridley is definitely the emotional center of this film, and it's her best performance of the trilogy. Indeed, all the actors are at the top of their game; Boyega and Isaac also shine, and there's great chemistry here. Of course, Adam Driver is great...and we do get a satisfying conclusion to his story.
All-in-all, this film delivers a solid final chapter to the saga. Ignore the angsty BS and nitpicking. Set aside today's cauldron of hyperbolic negativity and just enjoy the ride, it's a good one.
