Not great, but definitely not bad

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2019)

I went into this movie expecting the worst honestly, based on early reviews. It certainly wasn't bad. But there still could be more made of it. With that being said:
The good:The cinematography was flawless. This time, I somehow enjoyed all the characters? (I didn't like Finn at all before, especially in TLJ, but he somehow ended up being my favourite in this one). The music is, as always, perfect. And all the little things that reminded me of both the Original Trilogy and the Prequel one (watch out for certain voice cameos that got me really excited).
The bad: Some things seemed really forced plot wise. Actually, the plot was all over the place. Too much was happening. There also were some inconsistencies (I remember reading somewhere other things about Poe's background than what was revealed during this film?) Also the last scene. Oh boy. It made me angry.
All in all, I think this could have been a great trilogy. The ideas were certainly there, in all movies. What really killed it was the change of directors and the lack of a clear vision, in my opinion.
So, I think it's worth watching because it has some really cool moments, some really great character development for Finn (I still can't believe I'm saying that), and John Williams' music is full of throwbacks, which really made it a much more enjoyable experience. I honestly can't comprehend how some people are giving the movie 1/10 reviews. (7.5/10 for me actually, but let's round it up)
