Very enjoyable!

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2017)

Ignore the bad reviews from disgruntled nostalgic fans/others. I saw the 2D version last night and thought this film was both very entertaining and absorbing. I grew up with the original trilogy and Episode IV has always been my favourite. However, 40 years later it's time for Star Wars to move in a new direction for a new generation. Of course we all miss the original characters but It's time to see some new ones too. Good to see nice solid performances with real props once more. Episode VIII is a very enjoyable film and succeeds on many levels. Probably my favourite of the post-original trilogy films.
