Time To Correct All With The Negative Opinions

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2019)

First off, I need to say I was there from the beginning. I watched the original Star Wars before it was Episode IV, A New Hope. As with all episodes I was able to watch them on opening night. This one however, I watched a couple of weeks after the release.
Being curious, I read many reviews which trashed this movie. I don't know what problem people have with this movie. The things they are saying are just not true. I saw a review which stated they yawned their way through the movie. The only way I can see someone yawning through this movie is if they are tired. In that case why are they going out watching a 2.5 hour long movie in a darkened theater.
This movie is visually stunning, it has phenomenal light saber fights, it has quite a few twists and turns, and the story closes off the epic Star Wars story very appropriately. I asked my Son (11 years old) after viewing it with him, which was his favorite Star Wars movie. He could not pick a favorite but could only state what he thought were the best parts. He has always been partial to Ep 3 since he was most affected by Anakin turning, but he also likes other parts just as much to include those viewed in this movie. It is his age group which viewed the prequel trio first.
With a good marketing scheme any product can be hyped up. This is done by someone putting money into an ad campaign which supports a product. This is often dome just to make a profit on a particular product (pet rock, mood ring, etc). When these products die out no one remembers them. I feel the negative response to this episode is creating a marketing cloud around this movie. It is either done because some people want their name known or they are not treating the episodes as chapters in a book.
The Skywalker saga of Star Wars is a story. Just like ;picking up a book it is normal to not like a chapter, or not like parts in the story, because the hero is killed, or a lovable character is killed off. These types of story turns affect our emotions. We have negative or positive emotions. So, each viewing of this movie has various emotional responses.
I for one, had many emotional ups and downs during this movie. I care for the characters, whether created by George Lucas himself or the Disney owned George Lucas LTD.
Those who say this story makes no sense, or who say it's terrible are are either making things up for whatever devious purpose or they are failing to take into consideration, this chapter is a chapter from a much larger story. I also believe just like an marketing scheme people's expectations are unjust for this chapter. You have to watch it as part of the full story with no expectations. Just know it is sci-fi and is created to take you on a journey. For the Skywalker saga this is the end of the journey.
The cast, crew, writers, and Disney imaginers, deserve much better credit than they are currently getting.
Go see it and judge it for yourself.
