Not bad but expected a lot better

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2017)

Just came out from the theater...got some mixed feelings. It was more of like a connecting film between TFA and the one(s) that will come next. Not so much as a standalone episode. Felt like they weren't sure enough on what to do with Kylo Ren/BenSolo. I understand his torments and past but Johnson kinda played with him, resulting some sort of inconsistency. First half was quite flat but liked the 2nd half, particularly the finale though. Overall, not a bad film at all but expected a lot more twisted & entertaining.
Among this new line of films (JJ Abrams era), here's my ranking:
1. Rogue One
2. The Force Awakens
3. The Last Jedi
