Not nearly as bad as people say.

Rating: 7/10 (15 January 2020)

Far from a perfect film but not as bad as the reviews make it.
Among other flaws, the Canto Bight sequence was indeed bad, Finn's character development was stalled and the "long pursuit" was a long dried up sequence that dragged too much and could have been solved if the characters just talked openly.
This movies has some interesting concepts though. The Luke Skywalker dealing with failure and reluctancy to come back to the front was a good take at a previously "perfect" character. It added depth to him.
The killing of Snoke was an interesting step that should have put Ren in a irredeemable path to the dark side.
The fact that Rey's parents were nobodies was refreshing and a cool way to open up the Force to somebody outside the same families (anyone can be powerful independently from the origin).
The take on war profiting was also interesting.
Too bad some plot points were dropped by the next movie which weakened the entire sequels. If only Disney wouldn't bend to the fans online and had continued with the path this movie started, we might ended up with a much more solid and satisfying sequel sequence.
Bottom line, flawed movie with some interesting concepts and some cool action. Not nearly as good as the original trilogy but better than the prequels (at least Ep.I and II).
