I thought the movie was fine. Not super, but fine. Sort of like KF. Was disappointed in Luke's portrayal, but I thought it fit Hamill's personality based on interviews he's given. Took some interesting turns. For an 8 movie series, it held that together.
The movie took a shot at militarism and profits and that the good guys aren't always good. I'd give the movie a B+. A swashbuckling Luke would have been better.

SPOILER ALERTS BELOW: and who is this Rian Johnson guy who had free rein to write and direct this movie and fill it with so much illogical stuff??
First fighter xwing scene with goofy phone call bit. Stupid
Princess Leia gets blown out of the bridge into outer space and she lives. Now I let the writers take as much literary license with physics defying sci-fi elements but I can’t go with this scene where somehow Leia is pulled or goes back into the ship and lives. A human type body in complete cold vacuum of space would actually have all the fluids boil, body expand, and explode. And don’t tell me it was her force that protected her because she wasn’t conscious. Totally stupid and every shot with her in it after that scene was stupid. I would have liked to have seen her boil and blowup.
The rebels figure out the bad guys can track them through light speed even though they say it is impossible. So they are caught totally unaware of this tracking yet Finn and Oscar Issac characters within 5 minutes identify or even know exactly where this tracking device is located on the battle cruiser. Hard to fathom that scene.
This one really gets me. During the big showdown the bad guys are dragging this mini-death star type weapon toward the large Lord of the Rings style door to blast it open. The rebel fighter pilots go toward the mini weapon as the only way to stop it and as they are getting shot up and destroyed they break off the charge saying it is a suicide mission. Now wait a second, there were 7 movies before this filled with suicide missions, millions of soldiers killed, and planets destroyed and all of a sudden these few fighter pilots are going to break off their attack. Luke and the others in the very first movie were on a suicide mission trying to blow up the death star. Anyway, then Finn tries to keep going into the mini death star and what’s her name comes and knocks him off his path when he might have succeeded . Excuse me, not following orders, come on.
And at the end the Laura Dern purple haired Admiral is on the cruiser by herself and she is on a suicide trip to draw the bad guys away from the supposedly cloaked rescue ships. When the rescue ships start getting blown to pieces why would the Dern character take so long to turn her ship around and light speed into the bad guys. She watched two thirds of those escape ships get blown up. I know got to have drama but she is an admiral!!!!
And way more unneeded scenes, illogic, and dialogue. The movie should have been right at 2 hours instead of 2.5 hours.

I know a lady who looks just like Dern and acts like her as well. This lady does nothing quickly so it fit with me.
Being a WW2 author, you lose most of your buddies and no "combat exhaustion"?
It's just a movie. It's a bit more interesting than 2001 a Space Odyssey.
The questions you ask such as Leia getting blown out and the suicide mission are kind of like KF running no screens against blitzes and a small back into an 8 man front. Yes, Hawkeye fans should love this movie! Next thing you know, someone will be calling KF a legend.
When the girl crashes into Fynn to prevent him from killing himself to save everyone, she could have easily killed him and herself for no benifit at all. It was dumb as hell to have someone t bone someone at such a high rate of speed to prevent him from dying.

Yeah my post was mainly in jest, the Star Wars movies aren’t near as bad and fakey as action movies.
I guess I was mainly just saying how jaded I am now that I can’t watch Star Wars without thinking about plausibility.
