I was moved.

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2019)

Went to see it last night and I'm shocked to find so many horrible reviews. Have we all seen the same movie?
I loved it from start to finish. Sure, i have a couple of things that made me go 'huh?', but overall, I really loved it.
For the not so good:
Yes, there is quite a bit of location jumping in the beginning, it's very fast paced and there is a lot of stuff squeezed into the first half hour. My guess is, that they needed to write around the scenes with Carrie Fisher and see how they could use her dialogue from unused scenes from E7. So please, cut them some slack. Nobody knew Carrie was going to die when they filmed E7, so this sure wasn't an easy task. I like how they managed to in corporate her though.
The whole Rose/Finn thing was treated like it never happened. I'm ok with that, although I would have liked their relationship to be more developed, it sure wasn't why I went to see the film. It was just weird that it wasn't mentioned AT ALL.
The rest I really really enjoyed. I loved how the new main three (Rey/Poe/Finn) argued, worked, bickered and joked with each other. Their big hug brought me to tears.
I also loved how they handled Kylo Ren's turn to the light side. THAT cameo was everything! And also, Ben Solo has always been set up for redemption and I thought it was beautifully done. I never would have thought that I'd be sad to see him become one with the force. His relationship with Rey has been developed over three films and I loved all of their scenes. The moment he realized that she has forgiven him was the saddest and happiest moment of the film imo.
Another thing that I thought was well done, was how they brought back all our favorite Jedi, but not as force ghosts, just merely with voice cameos. Let's be honest, the whole thing would have been ridiculous if there had all of a sudden been 15 force ghosts standing around Rey to help her fight Palpatine.
Also, it's nice to see that Leia wasn't just somewhat force sensitive or occasionally used the force. No, she was trained by Luke to be fullfledged Jedi.
Now honestly, there is so much awesome in this film, that I can easily forgive it a few shortcomings.
I already didn't understand why people hated TLJ.
