POSITIVES…
If you’re a fan of Star Wars, then go see it. It’s the finale to the Skywalker saga, so go see it.
Visually looks great.
The designs of the creatures, characters, and locations, are all top notch here.
The lightsaber stuff are good in this movie. Pretty good.
The use of the Force were pretty cool in this movie.
Some fun action adventure sequences here.
Loved just about every scene Rey and Kylo Ren are together on screen. Easily my favorite parts of the movie.
Among the cast, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, and Oscar Isaac, are especially excellent in this.
Shout out to Anthony Daniels as C-3PO though, as he provided some good humor to the story.
Pace and narrative moves at a breakneck speed. You should not get bored watching this movie.
Expands and concludes ideas found in previous Star Wars entrees.
The fanservice is strong in this one, prepare to get your nostalgia fed to the brim.
NEGATIVES…
The fanservice is indeed strong in this one, to the point that it feels like it’s pandering to the audience.
There are a handful of very eye-rolling moments for me.
Felt like two movies crammed into one movie. Very plot heavy, and exposition heavy, that I hope you don’t get crushed by how dense everything is that’s being thrown at you.
The narrative can get pretty unwieldy.
Goes for the obvious plot directions and tropes, which felt a bit way too predictably conventional for my taste.
Can be easily accused of having spectacle just for spectacle sake.
Some of the things that happens just seemed stupid.
There is exactly one scene between Rey and Kylo Ren that I absolutely disagree with. Absolutely!
Betrays continuity on some of the ideas that were set up from the Prequels, Clone Wars, Rebels, and The Last Jedi.
P.S….
