It was good, not great.

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2019)

I'm a fan. I have been listening to the Youtube channels for months, watching every spoiler video I can get my hands on, even reading comments and watching the old SW movies (minus The Phantom Menace, that movie just sucks) to make sure I was up to date. I wore my shirt to the movie and I walked out glad that I did. The movie isn't nearly as bad as some people are saying it is. Are there plot holes and things that you wont like? Sure!!! But it definitely isn't the worst movie that you will see (as someone has commented). Now is it the worse SW film? I don't care what anyone says TPM will forever hold that spot in the franchise for me. Is it the best in the franchise? No. Yet Adam Driver as Kilo Ren satisfied me as a fan. He played his part very well and in an alternative ending, I would have loved to see him beat and turn Rey so they could rule the galaxy forever. But this is Disney and the good always wins. What did I not like the most? Finn. He just ran around trying to be Rey's protector/keeper, but it was evident from TFA that Rey can take care of herself. His was a stupid role to me. Plus what is he going to do? He has his own woman problems. He has a girlfriend, but is bonding with another child forced ex Storm Trooper? Yeah, his ever after isn't going to be too happy.
But the action is good, the score is great and I'm glad Rey trained to control her skills. That was something I felt was truly missing in the trilogy. How was she so powerful in the force without training when everyone else had to do so?
Endgame wasn't as good as Infinity Wars, X-Men 3 wasn't as good as X-Men 1 or 2 and TROS isn't as good as some of the other Star Wars movies, but it is a good ending to TFA and TLJ. If you are a real fan, you will see it and judge for yourself.
