The movie disappointed me to some extent. The hate for it around here is absolutely shocking.

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2017)

I certainly agree that this movie does not deserve an 8+ rating on this platform as it fundamentally lacks in some areas. But I can't understand less how many people actually think is is a 1 out of 10 movie. If that's your opinion, why did you even bother to watch the movie completely.
There is a whole bunch of unsatisfying new characters with no real impact or purpose, others were removed from the story in an unexpected way that might not be the best choice. But movies - in my opinion - aren't supposed to go exactly the way you want or expect it.
I feel like people are expecting so much of famous movie franchise these days that there is no single iteration of the movie that could satisfy them. Even if they had done the whole storyline and directing themselves you could erase their memory and they would hate the movie. Just because.
Personally, I don't think the movie is good enough to love it, and it's too loo long and slow to really enjoy it fully. But it at least has its moment, it has good actor performances and some good lines. So this is not a 1/10 movie. Everybody who thinks so has never watched such a movie.
And people who say that The Phantom Menace is like Citizen Kane compared to The Last Jedi clearly have no ideas about what makes movie. Or have never watched Citizen Kane.
