Great fun with a few flaws

Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2017)

I just got back from watching this movie and I really enjoyed this one. I had goosebumps through several scenes and thought it was better than Force Awakens for sure.
There were some great fight/battle scenes, plenty of action, good characters, and it tried much harder at being it's own movie instead of being "Member berries" like Force Awakens did.
I didn't like Kylo much upon first watch of Force Awakens, but he is amazing in this movie. I like where they went with all the characters, really.
The thing that got me the most as a negative was a few JarJar-level silly scenes thrown in that totally kill the mood of the film. This is a darker movie, more serious with some typical "Star Wars" light hearted moments. Then there are some totally silly scenes it looks like a third grader threw in.
Overall I loved it and can't wait to see it again. Hopefully someone makes a cut with a few of those comical scenes left out so the movie can keep the mood it deserves throughout.
This is the best Star Wars film outside of the original trilogy.
