40yr olds perspective... the internet IS the Dark Side.

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2019)

NO SPOILERS!
INTERNET NEGATIVITY: 10/10
The internet is terrible. It's is truly the dark side of the force ready to tear down anything that is good in this world.
Nothing about this movie is a 1/10. Ignore these people. They are not fans.
The perspective of a 12 yr old is useless when comparing feeling of old and new Star Wars. They weren't even alive when the second trilogy was released. They didn't experience original trilogy when it was at the peak of cinematography.
Haters jump on the hate bandwagons because that's what they do in life. Its more popular now days to hate things that admit like. It's the world we live in. You have to ignore it.
REVIEW!!!
Personal feelings: 9/10
The majority of my SW friends who actually grew up with old school SW in our youth loved this movie. It made up for the 2nd movie completely. My personal favorite modern SW movie to date was Rogue One. Until now. This movie most closely captured my feelings of old since the 80s. I sat with my 6 yr old kid and was thankful we had the opportunity to sit through this adventure together.
Cinematography: 9.5/10
Let's get real here. This movie is filmed by one of the best in the business. It's not any more over the top than RoTJ. I challenge anyone else to portray on screen the events that were occurring in a more entertaining method. Haters hate people who at the top for nonsensical reasons.
Sound: 10/10
This will be a benchmark in my home theater going forward.
Story: 8.5/10
This story made up for all the confusion in the first two movies. This may be partially do to JJs style of story telling. But he did not leave us hanging with this finally. All questions were answered and many doors were closed appropriately.
The only thing I didn't like was how corny Luke was. Just as corny as he was in the last film which turned me off greatly.
Overall: 9/10
There is so much Star Wars in our family life and this experience only made it better. Join the light side of the force... ignore the haters... appreciate the effort and service that went into this film. It's a feel good movie that any true Star Wars fan should enjoy.
And by the way... my entire theater clapped at the end. People appeared very pleased when leaving. Every stranger around me seemed pleased.
