[QUOTE="jayums, post: 522409, member: 7190"] Just got back from cinema... first thoughts: Criticisms first: I thought it was very cheesy and dialogue was flat in places. Plot convoluted and needed tightening up. Some unnecessary and bizarre bits (the spy reveal, silly space horses, too many new characters etc). BUT despite all that I enjoyed it way more than TLJ . It was at least a bit more fun and actually make me laugh a few times (and get emotional). Lots of good action sequences too. Dealt with Leia as well as it possibly could. Overall, flawed yes - far too much movie in one movie - but to it’s heart was in the right place. Let’s face it, it had to go some to tie up the story given where it has to pick things up from TLJ (which IMO was a total mess and left nothing to do). JJ should kick himself he didn’t do all three of the sequels - yes, he is a second rate Spielberg - but I’m sure it would have been more cohesive had he have done so. It’s a missed opportunity for sure. To me it’s glorified fan fiction and there will only ever be three proper Star Wars films, but it is what it is, and I have to say it was a decent effort to get things back on track and is at least fun and exciting, which I think kids will like.
