Too many bad reviews from people who didn't get "their" SW movie

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2017)

A lot of people seem to be over reacting to TLJ , focusing much on what wasn't in the movie, rather than what was in it. Furthermore, many are complaining about the plot, and how "poor" it is - they are confusing plot with story. There is a story here, and characters arcs, and surprises. But as Luke says , it's (probably) not going to go the way you think.
Many pre-release reviews pointed this out - a new direction, unlike any SW movie you have seen before etc etc. Yet many user review seem to be harking back to the SW universe as it was 35-40 years ago.
Characters, like real people, change. This is what makes them believable. I had no problem with Luke in the movie. In fact, I think the next time I watch the originals, I will probably appreciate his arc even more.
Did I get to see Luke do what I really , REALLY wanted him to do? No - but hey, that's MY movie, not the one they made.
Does this make TLJ bad? No - just because I didn't get to see everything I wanted to see (and admittedly , there are some things I wish I didn't see in this movie) doesn't make it a 2/10 or a 3/10 or whatever. Some of these reviews just sound angry because it's not what they thought they would get. The are some great moments here, as well as some truly great cinematography, acting and production design.
I'm looking forward to seeing it again on the big screen, because I'm sure there are more details I missed.
Go in with an open mind, appreciate it for what it is, give it a couple of days and see how you feel about it then.
