A perfectly good Star Wars film

Rating: 6/10 (19 December 2017)

Let me clear: This film isn't as mind-blowingly fantastic like the film critics say.
It also isn't as godawful as Star Wars 'fans' make it out to be.
It's just a really good movie, one that I extremely enjoyed.
Sure it has its problems and plot holes, but Star Wars movies have never perfect. I believe one of the main reasons this particular title is getting so much hate from fans is because while this film has the same problems that you might see in other Star Wars films, all the great parts come as a result of Rian Johnson merely pushing the boundaries of what can make a Star Wars film great.
To all those people claiming 'feminism' and 'diversity for the sake of it', why not just enjoy the actors instead of worrying about their race or gender? Who the hell cares if a new character called Rose is asian; I thought she was a fun addition!
Honestly, people need to lighten up and just be open minded. The original Star Wars trilogy wasn't an untouchable holy trinity of cinema, and need to accept that the Star Wars is being handed over to another generation.
I may be being naive as to why so many Star Wars fans are hating this movie, but I'm certain a lot of it comes down to just being offended over the little things that should never offend any reasonable person.
If you're a fan of Star Wars, please see this film with an open mind. Along with the Force Awakens (and possibly Rogue One?) this new trilogy is testing you, entertainingly too I might add.
Sure the dialogue can be corny at times, but it's nowhere near as bad as the Prequels. And as I mentioned before, the problems and plot holes may be many, but on top of the acting, visuals, and pretty much any scene with Kylo Ren, this film is one of my favourite Star Wars flicks.
I'm not asking anyone to like it as much as I do.
I'm just asking any and all Star Wars fans to really consider why they don't enjoy it, and not to write it off as the end of Star Wars.
One more point: My dad, a man of 45, who is a bigger Star Wars fan than most, who grew up with the OT, was in tears at the end of it. He told me it what I've pretty much said here: this movie hands the baton off to the next generation of Star Wars perfectly.
I would recommend this movie to anyone open to change and progress, a dumb laugh here and there and the ability to almost, but not quite, turn your mind off for a few hours and just frickin' enjoy it.
