At most, a mediocre movie compared to some of the older episodes

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2017)

Pros:

good character development for Rey
good effects
good potential for the next episode
good acting on Daisy Ridley's part (for the most part anyway)
the bad guys are well developed (they are now almost identical to the Sith and the Empire)

Cons:

bad character development for Kylo Ren (who still behaves like a frustrated spoiled brat)
seriously overpowered Republic pilots and weapons
mediocre sword-fighting
deaths whose purpose seems only to make room for the newer characters (e.g. Snook's death & Luke's death). Otherwise I don't understand why they killed their characters

- boring heroics (yeah, there are seriously waaay to many heroes)

idiotic political correctness
at times, the movie seemed to have "borrowed" scenes from other episodes

All-in-all it's, at most, a mediocre movie compared to some of the older episodes (e.g. Episode I & III).
