A fun addition to the star wars saga

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2017)

I went into this movie expecting a 'dark story'. I remember reading that it 'darker then Empire'. It is not. This movie is a very light movie with few if any truly dark moments. There were too many jokes taking away from otherwise serious scenes which I felt hurt this movie overall.
But this is not to say that this is a bad movie, just not what I expected. It is a very enjoyable if you are looking for a fun movie that can watched with all audiences. I cannot help but compare it to a marvel movie - light, fun and accessible to everyone but missing depth in some areas.
Overall I believe that some of the terrible reviews that this movie is facing are completely unwarranted. It is visually stunning and a great addition to the star wars universe. Just don't go into this expecting something like Empire.
