People should complain less.

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2020)

I won't pretend that this movie is perfect. It's not. But in the Overall ranking of Star Wars movies, it beats out the prequals and along with episodes 6, 7, and 8.
The next part will contain spoilers.

I will start with the one negative thought I have about it.
1) This movie is trying to tell two movies worth of story in one movie's worth of time. Abrams made the decision to omit most of The Last Jedi. If I had not seen the last Jedi, and just picked up here after episode 7, I would not be confused. The only part it uses is telepathic communication between the two leads which I thought was really cool. Unfortunately, since they were starting from scratch, it does feel a little rushed. They jump from plot point to plot point at a breakneck pace. But hey, at least the movie never felt too slow.
Now I will discuss the title of my review: people complaining too much.
1) bringing Palpatine back with no explanation was dumb.

If there was no explanation I would tentatively agree with that, but there was an explanation. He is Darth Sideous. It is well established that he knows his way around death. His staring role in the tradgedy of Darth pleaguis the wise has taught him skills in this department. He came back and was a cool villain. Deal with it.

2) The force does too much.

*sarcasm* "What?! The energy field created by all living things that surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the universe together, does things? Who'da thunk it."

5/6 of the original Star wars movies introduced new force powers. Y'all need to stop thinking you know so much about this all-powerful thing that was intentionally written to be mysterious. Also, it could very easily be argued that the life transference was merely an extrapolation of the dark side defeating death power.
Passing items through the force: it binds the universe together. This really doesn't seem far fetched to me.
At the end of they day. This movie doesn't do significantly more to change the force than did empire strikes back, and I don't see people complaining about that one. I think people are just looking for a reason to hate this movie. I can't stop them from doing so, but I can think they're dumb for it.
Lastly, I just want to address my favorite part of the movie: the cheorography. It's awesome. This feels like the first Star wars movie where the characters were action heroes as well as Jedi/sith. I am an especially big fan of the way kylo ren fights. Watch the fight scenes with an open mind, and I think you'll enjoy them.
That's all I have to say, If you watch this movie expecting to dislike it, you will. But if you approach it openly, and give it a chance, I think you'll like it a lot.
