well i went in expecting the worst, but i really enjoyed it, Ok i can see why some stuff might of upset people, but i found it a very fun film which moved the characters on and unlike force awakens it wasn't jumping from place to place for no real reason only three places four if you included space. lets get on to what was most peoples bugbear that they didn't like in the film, Luke, me i liked what they did as it showed him to be a human and flawed individual and i loved his line to Rey say to you expect me to take on the whole first order with a laser sword(or something along those lines) which is what some people were expecting but much preferred how they did handle it, than Rey arriving asking Luke for help and they go on there way.

a story was told here and just didn't jump from one action scene to the next unlike force. also like that they didn't go with the obvious for Rey(of course this upset the fans). the middle was bloated and film could of been 20 minutes shorter, and i really didn't care much for the casino planet part but i enjoyed Benicio del Toro's character and don't get me started on the god awful Mary Poppins/Leia scene but that was made up for the wonderful scene between Luke and Leia(which was full of warmth and brought a tear to my eye). we had one scene which was just pure fan service which involved Luke and someone else and was a joy to watch. mention has to go to Adam Driver who was very good and the character of Kylo REn has improved greatly from the last film

the entire audience appeared to like it and most if not all seemed to have positive things to say about while leaving. it might not be the star wars film some wanted but i was more than happy and would put on the same level as Return of the Jedi, a solid 8/10 for me.
