I'm hardcore sw fan and it aint that bad...

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2019)

This ones better than the other 2..rogue 1 is the only true to sw film outside 77,80&83...and is a belter!!!! This is ok though...
Its ok.. I had a lot of warmth for certain characters...Chewy, Leia, Lando, c3po,
Quite a few scenes gave me feel good star wars feel.
The acting from the new characters is questionable at times I think... Richard E Grant man....he gets it.. that man can act. Best actor for me...Kylo acts well. John n Daisy don't seem to take it seriously.
The story is ok...it works..yes there a couple of handfuls of subtle references to the originals but i think we want that?? Not like FA or LJ which were very safe 'remakes' almost.
Yeah it aint under 5/10 - I left the cinema happy, as did my kids.
I will say the inclusive part of making sure we have enough women, all the races, and of course, even a same sex kiss...comes across forced...like an advert for a bank?
