Best Star Wars movie since the 80s

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2017)

The Movie: Johnson took the force into hyperdrive! He illustrates what Obi-Wan, Yoda, Windu, and Qui-Gon were teaching. It was amazing! I'm glad Johnson has enough understanding to depict it meaningfully, yet simply enough that most of an audience can grasp it. Hamill and Driver's performances stole the show too. Ridley was great, too! Loved how Johnson spent some extra time with the camera on the Princess, since we know that she's never coming back. I'm glad that the movies so far have given each OT character their due, and Johnson spends extra time on Fisher. Much of the different plots mirror Star Wars plots in the past, but Johnson goes into completely different directions, and it worked. Some humor, but it's a heavy movie. The middle portion of the movie with Finn is a good time to do a restroom break. I didn't like everything; however, everything was plausible and fun.
Bottom line: If you aren't nit-picky about everything, you'll like this. This film was awesome!
