A mediocre score for a mediocre movie....

Rating: 5/10 (19 December 2017)

Honestly I'd rather give this a lower score but I will have to settle for mediocre. There were some good things (Snoke's power when finally shown, the fight with the Red Guard, the opening sequence of Poe's flying and the sacrifice of the bomber pilot, etc...) but a lot of bad things (the First Order forgetting that they could light jump a 2nd ship in front of the Rebels coming back the other way, Hux being reduced to a spoiled immature incompetent, Kylo & Rey's bizarre connection, ghost Luke, milking sea creatures, and the horrifically boring side quest).
Personally I'm annoyed enough at what a letdown this was that I'd like to give it a 3 but to be fair it's not Johnson's fault that his movie wasn't in the class of most of the series so judged on it's own merits I'd say it was okay enough to see and enjoy if you don't think too hard.
