Well done end of a saga with no risks

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2020)

Screenplay 6/10
To be honest there is a lot of hate going on with the screenplay. But I think it is more like the seventh movie. Abrams is orientating on old patterns which worked well in the past. There are some unexpected plot twists but overall it feels not very original.
Direction 8/10
From the visuals to the sound effects, this is a perfect movie. There are so many scenes you got blasted away by beautiful shots. Also the camera work is quite fine, but the editing is a bit too fast, I think.
Acting 8/10
The acting ones for all is surprisingly good. Adam Driver delivers a massive performance, as we know from him, but Daisy Ridley did also show up strong in the movie. The side-gigs Fin and Poe hadn't too much to act strongly but did a fine job.
Soundtrack 9/10
John Williams is crafting a beautiful Star Wars Medley out of all the movies before this. He makes the viewer having goosebumps all the time and totally did his heartblood in this one.
