Ok, so it's not brilliant - but I enjoyed it.

Sometimes I wonder what folks wanted from these sequels. They were never, ever going to be as good as the first ones - but this is nowhere near as bad as the second set, either. There is no doubt that "Kylo Ren" is about as scary as a custard but the rebel team of Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac (OK, BB-8 is annoying) do have a semblance of chemistry between them that works. JJ Abrams hasn't the imagination of George Lucas, but then nobody has... This is a fun, action adventure that trades on it's provenance for sure, but it is still enjoyable enough to watch with some good production values, SFX, action scenes and a decent enough script. It's fine.
