JJ Abrams Fixed Things

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2019)

Look, this isn't the grown-up Star Wars trilogy that we thought that we were finally getting, but I realize that after the prequels I just wanted a fun series. The bookends of this series were fun, even if recycled.
About this movie specifically: there are some corny moments, there are some specifically familiar history repeating itself scenes, and there are some head scratchers. None of that makes this movie even a little bit less enjoyable. There is the most amazing force scene in all of the movies, there is intense drama, the space effects are nearly flawless, and the characters are likeable again.
My one real complaint about this wrap up is that there was no Anakin.
My one wish is that they give Rey the Tony Stark treatment and weave her into future movies.
