Not a good movie but enjoyable nonetheless

Rating: 5/10 (27 December 2019)

The story is a rushed, point A to point B nothing in between with some plot hole-causing fanservice thrown in and a villain that literally just shows up out of nowhere. Some of the writing is cringeworthy. It's almost entirely focused on Rey, Poe and Kylo with everything else falling extremely flat. On the good side, it's got all the usual Star Wars awesomeness like epic space battles, plenty of saber fights etc plus some good character development for the 3 it does spend all its time on, but that and the um...very distracting Daisy Ridley don't make it a good movie. Regardless, I'd still watch it if you're a Star Wars fan. The ending especially has some pretty impressive visual sequences. Despite the issues I still managed to enjoy it.
