Well I Loved It!

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2019)

Born in 1976, the first film I remember seeing at the cinema was 'Return of the Jedi'. I am a lifelong Star Wars fan. I'm just home from seeing episode ix and I really enjoyed it. I laughed, I cried. I loved seeing the old characters mixed with the new. Yes, I still don't really like Rey and I've always felt that Adam Driver was the wrong casting decision, but it wasn't enough to put me off.
I don't really understand the negative reviews. Star Wars was never a high brow Sci-Fi. It was a film that was targeted at kids and adults alike. No actors are going to match the ones that made up the original trilogy, particularly Fisher and Ford. But hell, it was an enjoyable ride.
