Well, I think we have gotten the most lopsided Star Wars film in recent memory which is pretty disappointing.
First, with the bad:
-I was not a fan of the rapid succession of jokes- it just seemed like the entire cast was on rapid fire the whole movie and it kept messing with the overall tone.
-If the film ditched the whole Finn and Rose filler sub-plot, I think the film would have been much better off.
-We all saw it, and we all hated it. That Leia flying through space scene was probably the worst scene I have ever seen in a Star Wars movie. Myself and everyone else in the audience just cringed because it was terrible. Wouldn't it have been a better send off for Leia to do the whole light speed battering ram sacrifice instead of some new purple haired female character who no one gives a shit about?
-Snoke was a total waste of a character.
Now with some of the good:
+I really enjoyed the music and the action scenes were done extremely well. That scene where Kylo Ren and Rey fought the royal guards was awesome.
+Really liked the Poe scenes a lot.
+The Luke and Rey dynamic was fantastic. Anytime Luke was on screen the audience would cheer and it was epic.
+I actually really like Kylo Ren as a character, he isn't your typical bad guy and there is just a layer of depth to him that I really enjoy.
Overall, after looking at everything I would give the film a 7.5 because if it didn't have so many missteps then it would have been a truly great Star Wars film. In comparison, I gave The Force Awakens an 8.5 because I think it truly is the better film. The Force Awakens may be similar to A New Hope in plot, but at least it didn't hit the low points that The Last Jedi hit.
