Bad reviews are false! Fake news!

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2017)

This movie is not bad at all. Yes, the movie has minor issues such as pacing and ignores key plot point from The Force Awakens, but it's still an enjoyable and fun entry in the Star Wars series. I guarantee those unanswered questions from TFA will be answered in episode 9. TLJ is its own thing and doesn't rely on TFA to be good.
As Mark Hamill said, you can't please every single fan. Some fans have gone crazy and made multiple accounts on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes to write negative reviews. Go see this movie and decide for yourself if you like it or not. Don't let the good or bad reviews influence your opinion.
In my opinion, TLJ is one of the better Star Wars movies and I'm still very excited to see how the trilogy concludes in Episode 9.
