IGNORE THE BAD REVIEWS: This is beautiful

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2019)

*NO SPOILERS* Ignore the bad reviews - the same people that voted for Donald Trump, and poured Ice on themselves for charity want you to believe that this is a distaster.
It is not. TROS is fast-paced - that part is true. You'll be gasping for breath throughout. Several things are unexplained. We knew the Emperor had a role in this film and his influence is significant.
But, tasked with the impossible task of closing an outstanding series, JJ Abrams delivers. Had he not done x, y, or z, the haters would still be out trashing this film. In the era of social media, you can just never do an original justice - especially with the detractors having access to the internet.
All of your favorite characters are here - and I mean all - this movie is cameo galore. The scenes or dialogue that is not explained? Maybe you can use your head to hypothesize or ponder the question, instead of Rage-Tweeting your dissatisfaction with curious plot questions.
Great use of Leia, touching scenes (her daughter continues her cameo), and Rey is one amazing heroine. It's about time a woman was on top. No? :-)
Solid 9/10.
