This movie was an uninspired ending to this new trilogy. It tried to do many things but couldn't finish them.
If Rey accidentally killed Chewie, it would have been an incredibly powerful scene; but no, it was just to get a reaction from the audience. If Rey and Ben got together, we could have explored something like grey jedi; but no, he dies right after Also, in the previous movies (and in the start of this one) we are shown how Rey is better at fighting with her staff rather than the lightsaber. Why, why not give her a dual lightsaber (Darth Maul inspired) instead of the classic (even if iconic) one?
The first thing I really disliked was the opening crawl text. I really felt like I had missed a movie. Too many facts are just narrated in a few lines of text at the start without showing them happening.
The plot felt all over the place for me. It wasn't that coherent, it's like they had a series of checkboxes to tick. Also way too many deus ex machina. There's a point in which saying "the force" isn't enough.
The visuals though, were amazing. Probably the best one of the new trilogy. Great scenery and really well done visual effects. Top notch.
Same thing for the actors. While the script wasn't amazing IMO (but it's Star Wars, dialogue was never its strong suit), the cast acted really well. I really liked Adam Driver in particular.
In the end, I wish it could have been done better. It opened with many interesting plots, but wasn't able to tie them together properly. Maybe a trilogy as big as this one should have been planned better?
