What a letdown!! Was hoping for a far better movie!!

Rating: 4/10 (19 December 2019)

So I just saw this movie today. I went in with an open mind hoping for a great delivery as per usual for a Star Wars film... but this starts with a HUGE REVEAL, Palpatine is alive... I was facepalming at that point "The Dead Speak!!" Why on Earth/Space would you put such a reveal exactly in the title roll??
I decided to ignore that thinking that it might be just a one off... to my dismay it wasn't. The ENTIRE FIRST HALF was RUSHED and full of flat and wooden dialogue which made me lose my apetite for any popcorn I had!
At this point I was asking myself if buying a ticket let alone popcorn was even worth it.
I did like the C3PO moments they were hilarious. But still did not make up for all the overwhelmingly underwhelming mess that I was witnessing!!
Finn... yeah we heard ya, no need to shout like that, it was annoying as hell and cringeworthy!! I loved those Millennium Falcon stunts tho they were cool.
Rey, Palpatine's Granddaughter!?!? Wtf? That was really stupid, I get it though, JJ Abrams was given the duty to clean up TLJ's mess which is frankly impossible to do in a 2.5hr runtime!!! Disney, What were you thinking?? Ah of course... money.
I give up at this point... they ruined Leia which is disgusting and inappropriate to do in memory of someone who died! You should be ashamed!!
Too many new and quick unnoticeable characters were included unnecessarily!
Hats off to some of the actors who still tried to do their best.. but hey, let's face it they worked with what they were given.
The cinematography was spectacular and mesmerizing, the only major positive in this movie in my opinion.
Overall rating is an F
