A superb movie (ignore the old fans)

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2018)

I loved this movie., but then again, I'm not really a Star Wars fan; I just enjoy the movies.
So here's what I enjoyed about this one:-
It opens in space (again) and with a superb battle.
More space battles.
A ground battle Empire style.
No Harrison Ford to over-act.
The celebrated silent space scene.
The best 3D I've seen in ages.
Not so good:-
The mission to the Casino planet.
Too many cute animals. Shades of Ewoks.
Leia and her force magic rescue. In fact, Leia.
The usual re-used elements from earlier movies.
I sat in a 3D IMAX full of cheering viewers, some weeks after it opened. We all loved it.
I don't give a damn who Snoke was, or Rey's parents or what happened to Luke.
Looking forward to the next ones, including the Solo one.
