I walked out of the theater on Thursday night feeling genuinely conflicted. How very different that was from how I felt upon my initial viewings of TFA and Rogue One, which I loved almost immediately (despite their flaws, which they certainly do have).

I’ve avoided coming online for two whole days because I wanted to process what I’d seen on my own before I started getting the opinions of others. But even now, having read through this thread as well as reviews and discussions on several other sites, I’m still not sure how I feel. What a mixed bag TLJ is! There were parts that I loved, absolutely… But there were also things that I HATED (not merely disliked, mind you, but truly hated), and I suppose I wasn’t prepared for that. I need to see it again before I can make up my mind.
