In the end it was a satisfying conclusion!

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2019)

It so hard to give this film a star rating because I feel that it just kept getting better as it went along and in the end it was really satisfying. I guess those that hate the movie just couldn't stick with it long enough and I'm sure there is plenty to nit pick for those that are determined to hate it! The only part I genially didn't like is what kept the story moving forward early on which is that need to find that pyramid shaped device (which gave me flashbacks to that really dumb map to Luke Skywalker).The pacing early on was rushed but it didn't bother me (probably because I was expecting it) and I'm sure on subsequent viewings it will feel completely normal. What I think really worked in the end was the characters and in particular the relationship between Rey & Kylo Ren and bring back the Emperor actually made sense and the sense that the ending wouldn't have worked as well as it did without him. I the film address a lot of issue that people had with the Last Jedi. My recommendation is to go see it, stick with it to the end and don't let nit picks get in the way and if you are going to nit pick this film please also use the same level of nit pickery on Return of the Jedi a genially far less satisfy conclusion to a Star Wars trilogy (yes I went there).
