It was better than Force Awakens, but tied with Rogue One for me. It's far from perfect, but a solid 8/10.
Positives:
Spoiler...
-Great editing and choreography, especially during action scenes
-Most of the story was fantastic. There were twists on twists. Just as you think Kylo could turn to the light, bam just wants Rey by his side while he becomes the new Supreme Leader. That was awesome.
-Mark Hamill was great. That scene towards the end with him and Kylo was brilliant.
-Light speed into a ship
-Kylo Ren. A lot of people hate this guy, but I think his character is brilliant. He is really becoming this menacing character. It's like two solid movies of character development for all these new characters and I think that's fantastic.
This is all going to lead to a huge fucking third film.
-Ending scene with the kid and the broom
Negatives:
Spoiler...
A lot of characters were useless to me. The entire plot point of Finn and whatsherface going to destroy the tracker was useless. That lead to literally nowhere. It actually ended up really hurting the rebellion. Phasma still has all this hype, but now that's two movies in a row where she does nothing. I know she is probably not dead. If that armor can make laser blasts bounce off, I doubt a fall and some fire will do anything. Poe needs to learn to calm the fuck down. I know he is supposed to be this off the rails hero, but him throwing temper tantrums because higher command won't tell him every little plan was kind of annoying.
-Some pacing issues. Especially in the Casino. I just didn't find that too interesting to me. Now that I know where it leads, it seems like that entire scene was completely pointless. With repeated viewings I'd be skipping it entirely.
Overall: 8/10. Some of the characters had nowhere to go and I felt that certain plot points were completely useless. Overall, better than Awakens, tied with Rogue One. Great film, but with repeated viewings, I'd be skipping some of the scenes.
