A bit rushed but a satisfying ending to a problematic trilogy

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 2019)

First of all, this movie wasn't bad at all. It was the first film in the new trilogy that I quite enjoyed to be honest. The episode 8 left me upset and angry against Disney Star Wars but this one kind of "redeemed" my love and esteem for the Skywalker saga and I left the theater quite satisfied. I was thrilled with some of the visuals and battles and I was emotionally invested in some of the scenes for the first time (I didn't felt this when I watched episode 7 and 8). I also found that the arc of our main characters concluded in a satisfying way (especially Rey's and Kylo's).
And trust me it wasn't an easy job to deliver a satisfying conclusion and please everybody especially after the terrible episode 8.
But don't get me wrong, this movie isn't perfect and has some issues. Especially with the fact that they tried to compile too much in one film: correct episode 8, answer all the questions and give a decent ending.
The first half of the movie is too rushed. We are overfloaded with a lot of information and exposition in a very short time. They should have built up the storyline of this episode in the previous one actually. The film slows down in the second act fortunately and the pacing will remain more or less coherent until the ending. There's also some incoherences throughout the film I must admit. But honestly, which Star Wars movie doesn't have any.
Therefore, I do understand that some people didn't like this film. But I find a bit harsh all the people that are bashing it and give it a 1/10.
Overall, it's a satisfying ending to a trilogy that might have been better if it had never existed.
