An incredibly enjoyable film!

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2017)

Episode VIII is very enjoyable. It is the type of film you could easily go back to any time, sit down and watch and easily binge watch in a marathon (the way star wars are meant to be watched).
Im not going to deny it, some parts of the story line leave a bit to be desired, some acting too is a tad weak in areas and just doesnt feel as genuine as it could. There are characters in this film which just pop up, have next to no development and are suddenly part of the mix and the film acts like we should relate to their feelings. But realistically none of that matters.
I have grown up loving the star wars films for what they are and what they are is a great Sci-Fi action movie franchise that makes you imagine and smile and this film does all of those things. I laughed, I sat on the edge of my seat, i jumped and I felt like it was real. This film has great battles, fights, scenes, graphics, tension, sound, music, characters and 100% adds something to the franchise as a whole.
I have read about 15 other reviews and they all come back to one thing - its not like star wars used to be. Well im sorry, but times changes and so should the story line of star wars, new concepts have been introduced in this film and its no longer as black and white and previous episodes. All the main ingredients are still there, just put together in a different way and I loved it. Also - dont forget this is the middle episode of three, therefore a lot of the strange story developments in this, im sure will make sense in episode IX.
If you love Stars Wars for what it is in itself unique universe or if you want to watch an absolutely brilliant film, with blasters, aliens, lightsabers and some weird force thing that lifts rocks. Watch. This. Film. Its great. I will be watching it again and again, many years to come.
