Mixed Bag, but something shines through.

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2017)

If you looked past some of the pacing issues and occasional lack of focus, there's a ton of interesting themes this focuses on. I love the movie. Can I give it anything over a 7? No. But can I recommend it? If you're not willing to watch a DIFFERENT Star Wars movie (that's still a Star Wars movie) then you are guaranteed to not like this. But if you're going into it without expectations from all the marketing, and you're willing to think about what you're watching beyond the superficial blemishes, then you very well may find a movie you really enjoy.
