Astonishingly good

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2017)

Mesmerising from the first moment to the last. The way they introduced nuance and conflict into Luke Skywalker was excellent. Pushed the boundaries of the core idea of a universe saviour but stayed the right side of that. The demise of Luke and the hoodwinking of Red was brilliant.
Flawless.
I understand the negative reviews which are philosophically opposed. I can see how it would upset some evangelicals. I don't get the points about plot or lack of and character developlement. Star Wars is a riot of nonsense and this film held that up with panache.
