Saw it after my friends asked me to watch it with them 😄
Entertaining like the usual blockbuster, and it’s not a masterpiece, for sure.
-not really original: half of the film has been taken from the previous ones (and I’ve enough of “poetry” and “rhymes” in the Star Wars universe 😄). Had they had switched the WWII-like setting with a Cold War Era-like setting, they could’ve avoided this all together 😐
-Kylo Ren is not a good villain: he’s weak, “emo”, with probably everyone in the movie making fun of him 😄 (also, he shouldn’t had his helmet off before Rey: seeing him as an actual human, just a boy, not even menacing, further weakens his character);
-new characters are mostly clichè or not properly fleshed out;
-Rey’s quick progress in the Force is a “deus ex machina” (unless she can “download” experience like in The Matrix 😄);
-the final sequence ends abruptly, just with a few close ups and barely any music;
-lots of special effects, but not much tension overall.

From an emotional standpoint and for its direction, though, I did like Han’s death scene, with his body falling in the “void”. I also liked the “star destroyer on the planet” shot in the opening, and the way the camera has been used throughout the movie.
