First hour is bad, last 90 minutes are good

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2019)

The first hour is very rushed and fast, you don't get to connect to anything and Carrie Fisher is forced into the early parts of the movie. Her dialogue doesn't even fit and she says stuff that is so random. Also they jump through planets and scene very fast during the first hour. You see an old face in the very beginning of the film, and they did a bad job of explaining how he is even still alive after all this time, and why there was not even a slight mention of him or hint of his return in the early parts. This just proves that they had no idea what to do and just pulled stuff from random places. The trilogy wasn't well planned, unlike the prequels where Lucas knew exactly how each character was going to end up at the end of EP3.
The only reason I am giving this an 8/10 is that the last 90 minutes are pure action and nothing else, they stopped doing with the story and it was just explosions and sword fights from there. I am not a big Star Wars fans so all I wanted was to hear great music, see cool CGI, and see action. I got all three during the final 90 minutes.
Overall the first hour is a 3/10, the second is an 9/10, and overall if you just want to see cool effects and action, this is an 8/10.
