Excellent Movie, absolutely satisfying for lifelong fans !

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2019)

The movie is great! The text crawl and the first 5 minutes set up the whole movie with breathtaking speed and with a tiny but interesting twist. Then the movie starts for real, with all the characters coming together (for the first time in the new trilogy). The plot races forward right between (highly positive) fan service and some unexpected surprises. The characters are deeply likable and authentic, an improvement to "The Last Jedi", so we get much more involved and emotional during the course of the 141 minutes. Photography, sound, CGI, music are absolutely perfect!
Anybody who doesn't like this movie probably doesn't remember the feeling and the awe of seeing the older ones (20 or 42 years ago), they must be really cynical and jaded to dislike it. Do not let them spoil your fun and your enthusiasm.
For any die-hard Star Wars fan this movie is a 10.
For any casual fan it should be an 8 or 9.
And if this is your first Star Wars movie you will probably give it a 7, as it is a decent action movie.
Again : for all life-long fans, with all the emotional baggage of 10 movies, countless hours with TV series, books, comics and video games, this is the perfect ending to the Skywalker Saga!
A heartfelt "Thank You" to everyone involved in making this movie!
