An amazing movie, not so much an amazing Star Wars movie.

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2017)

TLJ has obviously angered a lot of Star Wars fanboys, and that is understandable, it tears away a lot from the original trilogy and George Lucas' original direction. But beneath all of the changes, lies a great movie which a lot of people are in denial about due to choices Rian Johnson has made.
This really was an amazing film, by far the best since Empire Strikes Back. From the excellent visuals, good script, a controlled amount of humour, excellent performances all around- especially from Mark Hamill and Adam Driver; who give some of the best performances in the franchise so far.
A lot of the reason for the audience backlash seems to span from the deaths; yes, Luke does 'die' in this film, but he will for sure return for a major role in IX either resurrected or as a force ghost. Snoke also dies which I considered to be a great twist, solely because Adam Driver's Kylo Ren is one of the best villains in recent blockbusters. By Snoke dying, it allows for Kylo Ten to develop a great amount, perfectly setting him up to be the villain for Episode IX. I will say that Snoke's little to none back story is an issue, maybe even considered a plot hole; but this doesn't mean the film deserves absurd scores such as 1/10 which some people are somehow giving this film.
It looks like it is shaping up to be impossible to please Star Wars 'fans'. The Force Awakens was too similar according to die hard fans, in response; Disney and Johnson took a much different direction, and now surprise, surprise, it's too different. At the very minimum, this film deserves an 8/10. If any of these reviews are going to sway whether you see the movie or not, please do not listen or even read reviews that give this film a 1-5/10, all of these reviews will be from biased Star Wars fanboys who feel as if this film "Ruined everything!".
To conclude, this film is a must see for any moviegoer or casual fan, the excellent visuals, amazing characters etc. Don't miss it!
Oh and to all of the people who hated this film, too bad, because these films aren't going anywhere. So either learn to appreciate that these films are of good quality, and are not just here to offer nostalgia to the hardcore fans, and if you can't learn to do this, then stop trying to spread biased negativity.
