Not the worst, not the greatest

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2019)

It's a movie that, like the ones before him, has a lot of unused potentials, a lot of characters could have had a story arc that made an impact on the story. For example, Fin is introduced as a stormtrooper that betrays the empire, but at the end of this trilogy, you still don't feel the impact of that event. Like fin, there are many others, Snoke that on the first movie left everyone intrigued, was quickly thrown away and never had a real impact; captain phasma and that shiny armor suffered the same fate and we never really got to know her. The newly added characters follow the same problem, they don't feel impactful in the storyline and most of all, they don't create a personal connection with the audience.
However the film, in my opinion, has a solid first half. The comedy was in general, not just in the first half but the hole movie, well balanced and enjoyable, not like in the Last Jedi; I believe, the Han Solo and Kylo Ren dialogue, was very well written and can create a nostalgic, emotional moment. Adam driver, as all the actors, delivers great performance for one of the best characters of this trilogy. The saber fights are decent and so are the special effects.
For the third and final act, things go sideways. The sense of danger for the return of Palpatine never gets to its real climax, so wen the all fight starts you dont feel the sense of danger. To be honest, when the final act starts you can very easily predict the end, its cliche, poorly written and rushed.
Overall, it's a decent movie that cant, yet again, follow the steps of the original star wars but still, despite the horrible ending, the lack of a good scrip, and a ton of lost potencial, was able to create some emotional moments that made me smile.
