I don't care what the reviews say. I love this film.

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2019)

I understand what critics are saying. Yes it's similar to what we have seen before, yes Abrams is clearly fan servicing. But to be honest I don't care, it's an epic film with a good storyline, that introduces some nice new characters and explores old ones that were left behind. Abrams did play it safe with this movie and he did undo a lot of the mistakes made in The Last Jedi, if you enjoyed that film (which I have to admit I did not) you may be disappointed in how it was overturned, but I for one am glad as I think they made a mistake when it came to many important storylines.
Although I love this film, it's mistakes are clear. Abrams was given a difficult story to follow on from after Snoke was killed, and the explanation of him is quite quickly written down in the script which is quite disappointing, but I think Abrams did well with what he was given.
With the epic moments in the film, minus some minor mistakes, this Star Wars film is one in the franchise that will always be one of my favourites. I know critics disagree with me and many fans will too. But as a long standing Star Wars fan who was severely disappointed by The Last Jedi, I say that this was a great Star Wars Film.
