A Good, fast paced Star Wars Movie

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2019)

Ignore the reviews which give the movie a 1 out of 10 scores. Most of these people probably haven't yet seen the film & their hatred of Disney clearly shows. Also, having a girl in the lead role obviously causes tantrums for these people.
For a film to receive a 1 out of 10 would be like spending 100 mil on it & then being no better than your 5-year-olds Christmas nativity play at school.
The music score from John Williams alone would bump it up to a 5 at least.
So, this film is fine. The story/plot has pace & is sharp & action-packed. Unlike the prequels, there's no wooden acting or attempt at humour which falls flat. No, the main characters aren't Luke, Han or Leia but you still route for them. Ren isn't Vader either but he never was supposed to be.
Is this on par with Empire? No, but what is? It's certainly better than Revenge of the Sith, which is considered the best of a bad bunch of the three prequels.
Unfortunately, it has to try to right the wrongs of the Last Jedi, which it honourably tries to do.
It's a movie that you will want to watch again not because it's a stunning masterpiece but because it's a worthy attempt at creating a Star Wars film. It won't please everyone but what does?
For those who's only hard on comes from trashing this movie, they are ultimately lost.
