An Excellent Treat For The Hardcore Fans

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2019)

This film is fantastic. I thought The Force Awakens was OK and I thought The Last Jedi was terrible.
This film makes up for everything.
It's everything a Star Wars fanatic needs; wild-west shootouts, exploring, adventure, copious lightsaber duelling, mystery, epic space battles
This is Star Wars.
Professional critics will mostly hate this movie, because "it lacks this, and lacks that; or how would that happen? Or when did this become a thing?"
The movie is pure fantasy, unadulterated, high-octane fantasy & wonderment.
It's Star Wars on Steroids; forget the little bitty details, and forget about the realism - just give yourself to the ride, and you will enjoy it.
It's more emotional than the Jedi purge sequence, and adoption scenes in Revenge of The Sith
It's got bigger space battles than Return of The Jedi & A New Hope
It has lightsaber duels to compete with Maul vs Obi-Wan
Excellent, ranked joint 2nd with Return of The Jedi for me.
