Embracing change while staying the same.

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2017)

With the possible exception of Rogue One, Star Wars movies were always made with kids in mind. We loved it as kids. Now the new movie is not ground breaking like the first (er, fourth) one, but it's still an entertaining movie. Could it have been better? Sure, almost anything can always be better. But it could have been a LOT worse. For the adult in me, sure, I can pick holes in the plot and see the Star Wars formula play out over again, but the kid in me still gets goosebumps from the opening crawl onwards, and there is enough tension to keep it exciting. Moreover, my kids loved it, and they are the target audience. Watching my son vibrate with excitement in the seat next to me was worth the price of admission alone.
