No one cheered, no one clapped.

That was the reaction of the audience during the movie and at the end.
Seeing how people went nuts with the final battle in End Game and no reaction on this one tells you pretty much what you need to know.
It's not that the movie is bad. It could have been so much better.
I actually liked the characters so much better than in TLJ, I no longer hate Finn, Poe or Kylo. Actually I liked Kylo the best this time.
The scenes with Leia are pretty well done, actually they look very natural.
The space battle scenes look like they could be awsome, yet they end up being meh!!
The lightsaber battles are very good for the most part. At times Kylo looks so much more powerful than Rey.
The cameos SUCK, except for one surprise return.
JJ tries to fix many things that went wrong with TLJ but some of them make no sense. They completely change the backstory of a beloved character. Had that been in TFA or TLJ it would made sense, but here its just bizarre.
We get the Luke Skywalker that should have been in TLJ, but he gets very little screen time. Its much more like you would have expected, but its kind of too little too late.
There are several new characters that contribute nothing to the story, why they get any screen time is beyond me.
Palpatine ROCKS. I think is on e of the best things on the movie.
There are some touching scenes and some ooohs and aaahhhs. Maybe shed a tear or too (but most probably my allergy)
Lando steals the movie. He's as cool as ever.
3PO handles the comedy as great as always (why did we ever need Jar Jar?)

In the end I'm somewhat dissapointed, not because of what it is, but of what it could have been.
