Best of the new trilogy

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2019)

I can't believe this has a lower rating than the crap fest that was The Last Jedi. It must be the in thing to hate on Disney and Star Wars. I've been a fan since ANH came out and I was four when my Dad took me to see it, so I'm actually pleased Abrams has done his best with the absolute mess Johnson made of the trilogy. The fanboys are howling about Palpatine being a cop out. And...? What else was he going to do after Snoke was unceremoniously cut in half? Bring back Vader? Build another Death Star?
I know you can't please everyone but some of the comments and reviews on here are like petulant children whining because they didn't get the Xmas present they wanted. You do realise it's so called fans like you that make the rest of the fan base a laughingstock amongst regular filmgoers? By all means post a review giving reasons for disliking it, but ffs hating on it just because it didn't suit the idealised version you had in your heads is just pathetic. Yes, it's rushed in parts, yes there are still some loose ends not tied up but J.J. has done his best. Think yourselves lucky Johnson wasn't directing it. God knows where the trilogy would have ended.
