Good movie overall with some issues

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2017)

I've seen a lot of strongly mixed reviews about this movie -- understandably. It was a lot to process. TFA left the audience with a lot to think about, asking a lot of questions. No matter how Johnson decided to answer those questions, someone was bound to be disappointed. The people making outrageous claims that it's "worse than the Phantom Menace" are just wrong. Yes, there were flaws in the movie, but it was a solid continuation of the franchise overall.
