So, I went thinking I'd hate it.....

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2019)

I went and watched in the mindset of being a glutton for punishment. However, I actually enjoyed it. Yep there are bits which I was hoping they'd be brave about but weren't. I like how they managed Carrie Fisher being dead. I don't think they have an easy way of delivering a perfect movie. Many people will be watching the movie with an idea of how the saga should have gone forward, what they wanted the characters to develop into and when they don't they are disappointed. I went and watch the Last Jedi opening night and haven't watched it again or feel I want to. Watched Force Awakens opening night and felt I was watching a reboot of a new hope. This one I don't feel like that, I feel I will watch again based on its own merits. It looked great, sounded amazing and the story wasn't so bad either.
