It's fine

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2019)

I had no issues with the way the story ended or any of Abrams decisions regarding certain characters stories, etc. In fact I wish I could rate it higher, because I was quite pleased with some of those details.
However the film itself was plagued by predictable dialogue, corny cliches, and a rushed feeling despite being 2.5 hours long. Character depth is critical, and outside of Kylo Ren and Rey, there was very little depth...even for those two there is probably more that could have been done. Cinematography was ok, not great. Score...probably the weakest in the series.
The first 20 minutes of the film were more comedic than anything, because of how scripted and rudimentary the writing was. It definitely gets better as you watch, and overall I can say I was entertained. Not impressed...but also not disappointed...and I guess that should count for something.
