It was entertaining!

Rating: 6/10 (24 December 2017)

I have been reading a lot of biting comments from others and I just didn't hate it. I had a good time! Was it one of the best movies I have ever seen? No. But it was entertaining and fun! A great way to spend part of a holiday weekend with family!
I do believe some of the plot points and battle scenes could have been cut/shortened to reduce the film's running time to under 2 hours.
But the cast is great and the addition of Benicio del Toro (one of my favorite actors) and Laura Dern added a lot, for me.
I enjoyed the humorous parts, and the creatures and special effects were great!
I have seen every Star Wars movie, but I am not obsessed to the point where I found this movie as "offensive" as so many others have.
I will close by saying this was a fond farewell to Carrie Fisher. May the Force be with you always, Princess Leia!
