Has its ups and has its downs,

Rating: 7/10 (24 December 2019)

I, like most people, love star wars. I'm not old enough to have seen the originals in their day. But I love the films and think each film is great in their own ways. (maybe not phantom). This film has great moments, action, surprises and emotional moments. To some extent I am very happy with it and I personally think it provides a somewhat fitting end to the Skywalker saga. The pacing of this movie isn't great, they've tried to fit a ridiculous amount of story into a couple of hours, and it just doesn't work very well. However it's a very enjoyable movie and provides a good amount of closure to the saga.
I really think that had the movie been the length of the last Jedi and they had some time to slow down and really feel the emotions of the characters and let the sense of danger sink in, this film would be one of the greats.
Either way, it has its problems and didn't live up to the hype of some of its predecessors, but I thoroughly enjoyed this film and would highly recommend it.
