Not what I expected....but liked it!!

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2017)

After the initial viewing I felt a little let down as The Last Jedi seemed a little confused and left more questions than answers but after a second viewing (3D this time which doesn't add much to the visual experience) questions are answered and the plot becomes more enjoyable and makes more sense.
There's 3 main story lines which eventually come together to set things up nicely for the final instalment. Some characters like Snoke could've been used more plus a bit of a background story would've been nice.
There's the usual spectacular Star Wars set pieces and lightsaber action and some of the dialogue is spectacularly cheesy. There are plot holes but hey ho it's not based on fact is it!!! It certainly isn't a stand a lone film and a viewing of The Force Awakens would be beneficial as TLJ carries on straight from the end of TFA. Overall it's a very enjoyable ride!
