Can't say this is a bad movie, but..

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2017)

After successfully committing patricide in the last movie, Kylo Ren a.k.a. Ben Solo in this episode manages to commit tantamount to avunculicide, and fails in committing matricide, but not for lack of trying. Boy, the Skywalker-Solo clan is one messed up family.
The Good:
Fight scenes and space battle scenes are really good, especially if you've seen them in big-screen 3D. There's plenty of strong female characters, who essentially call all the shots. The interplay between Leia and admiral Holdo is very emotional and full of subtext, if you choose to look into it.
Mark Hammill does an excellent job as a jaded and disappointed, I've-seen-it-all, too-old-for-this-BS type, and his to and fro with Rey are the highlights of the movie. The movie is about him, and he delivers, above and beyond.
Props also to Rose, an interesting character that should receive more screen time in future movies, as she completely outshone Finn. The entire Rose-Finn storyline looks like it would work just fine without him.
The Bad:
The movie is too long for what it wants to convey - the end of an era. Plot holes abound. The humor is juvenile and utterly unfunny, it seems like it tries too hard to emulate the wit of the originals, but fails miserably (see: general Huggs).
The villains are not very scary: who the hell is Snoke? Guess we'll never know, and we don't really need to, since it's just a Palpatine replacement, just like Kylo Ren is a Vader replacement - both bad. Even the good guys are unmemorable: Poe is an irritating thrill-seeker, Finn completely unnecessary, just like Threepio and yes, Artoo, too. Chewie is there just so that the Falcon could have a major role, and consequently keep on selling many, many toys.
And that's my biggest gripe with this movie: call me cynical, but Star Wars now feels entirely like a cash grab, which makes all the good about this movie (and it's not all bad) seem unnecessary and just...sad. Someone said that this should have been the last SW movie. I agree.
Oh and, in light of the rumored Poe-Finn gay relationship, is it just me or does "Get your head out of your cockpit" line have a completely different meaning when looking at it from that angle?
