STILL NOT AS BAD AS EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2017)

I'm a crazy fan boy who knows everything there is to know about Star Wars! This movie did not line up with my specific vision of what Star Wars should be, so therefore it sucked!
Just kidding. I liked it. Was it perfect? No, but very few movies are. What I found so enjoyable about this 8th installment was the mash up of fresh new re-imagined Star Wars elements mixed in with traditional Star Wars canon. (I think this is the thing that makes the super fans so angry, but I thought it was a breath of fresh air).
Furthermore, one of the best aspects of this movie was the highly intense moments of dwindling hope. There were plenty of moments in the movie where I honestly thought to myself "how in the world are the rebels going to make it through this one".
The plot was simple, but in my opinion, effective and at the end of the day was entertaining.
Some of the jokes fell flat. But a couple of bad one-liners could not out weigh the positive aspects of this movie.
Overall, I left the theater feeling satisfied. I guess I like Star Wars more than the super fans.
