This movie made me make an account on here.

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2018)

I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I love Star Wars. To be specific, I love the original trilogy, the prequels and the KotOR games. I'm not into the books or anything else like that. I just like to see good vs evil, the Force in action and lightsaber duels.
I thought TFA gave us a very promising start to this trilogy, set up the plot nicely and introduced us to the new characters. Then TLJ happened.
Dying to know Snoke's identity? Guess what? You'll never know and you're an idiot for even caring about it.
Wanting to see Kylo, Finn or Rey go through ANY kind of character development? Too bad, laugh at these cute Porgs instead.
Were you, like me, wanting to see Kylo and/or Rey go through SOME kind of training with their Masters? Sorry bud. But at least we get to see Kylo and Rey touch hands so I guess that's sweet?
This movie has horrible pacing, a completely unnecessary sub plot and many, many other gripes a genuine Star Wars fan can drone on about for hours. But rather than go in that direction, I'll quickly tell you why it deserves 7 stars.
It is funny. Not hilarious, but funny. It's MOSTLY entertaining with plenty of good vs evil fights, beautiful sets and memorable moments for the franchise. Was it perfect? NO. Was there a lot I didn't like? YES. But was it the worst movie I've ever seen? Nope, nope and nope. There are a few things I honestly hate about this film because of what it did to Star Wars' legacy. But this movie, in and of itself, is actually above average and I have to give it credit for that.
Will I see episode 9? Not entirely sure, but I'm definitely not watching it on opening night like I have previously done. Take note Disney. You broke my heart. I hope you're happy. R.I.P Admiral Ackbar, Captain Phasma and all my hopes and dreams for this trilogy.
P.S Captain Phasma was more intimidating than Kylo to be entirely real. I just had to get that off my chest. Carry on.
