Superb film! from someone who grew up with the originals.

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2018)

I grew up with the original films and toys. I loved Empire strikes back. This film seems like a mixture of Return of the Jedi and Empire.
I really enjoyed it. My expectations were low because of all the bad reviews and it turned out to be a really good Star Wars film.
Ignore the reviews and watch it, you may be surprised!
Spoiler!
Complaints:

Leia should have stayed dead, rather than floating back into the ship (especially under the circumstances).
Kylo Ren still seems kinda useless and pathetic (rather than some awesome Jedi dude) he only just beat the emperor's guards. Just seems like an annoying, sulky teenager! Even his own guys don't respect him.
Captain Phasma. The most overrated and useless character ever!
Porg. The only reason it's in is to be cute and sell toys! Pointless!
