For me it did the 3 things a MOVIE needs to be good

Great acting

Emotional pull

Audience investment

Emotional pull


It has its moments but there are just as many missed opportunities.

Example: when R2 plays the tape of Leia from ANH, they speed up the playback. There was no need to do that. Let the scene you're in breathe a little without being in such a rush to get to the next one. As it was it still had some emotional weight to it but not as much as it could have.

Of course the acting is great. But that last one, Audience investment, is the deal breaker.

The biggest questions from the Force Awakens were “Who are Rey’s parents” “Who is Snoke and how did he come to power” and “Why was Luke in hiding”, and they either weren’t answered because of an unceremonious death or had answers that did and should leave a bad taste in people’s mouths. The audience was invested in these questions and that’s the problem. There was no reward for that investment.

This is an obvious troll. This movie did absolutely none of this. Besides a few scenes with some stunning visuals the rest was garbage. It made zero sense.
