Just got back from seeing it. Had a blast.

Big dumb bombastic popcorn fun.

Just saw it, so far, I'd put this at the same level as The Force Awakens.
Really great movie!
Very much looking forward to Episode IX!

Nobody hates star wars more than star wars fans. Nothing will please them. the movie was on par with TFA which is already much better than the prequels.

This is not true - TFA was loved by fans despite being an average movie. TLJ is being disliked even by fans.

Yeah, because TFA played pretty safe. I really loved it, but it was pretty much a modernized Episode IV to introduce new characters to the franchise. Which I think was a great idea, the franchise NEEDED a look into the past again. But this movie shakes up the SW universe and it's tonally different to the previous movies, and SW fandom doesn't welcome changes as much as they say they do xD.

TFA played safe with a more formulatic script. In this one the director decided to take some risks, and it may not go well for people who were expecting more of the same.

Does it shake it up? I’ve heard they finish exactly where they started in the movie and nothing really happens. And they added the MCU humour apparently.

you heard? watch it before commenting please.

Every character undergoes a lot of development and transition. Movie is amazing. Not perfect. there are 3 things that I have issue with.... but I am able too see past that and allow my mind to be blown. 9.5/10.   Those 3 things keep it from being a 10/10

Saw it yesterday. It was okay. Entertaining enough. The story they are telling is expected. Was far too long, the jokes weren't funny.

I really can't agree with that opinion. The movie feels pretty different to any SW movie to date, so I figured once I leave the cinema that people will me mostly polarized about it. There's some parts that didn't really click on me in the film (specially a side plot I didn't really care about), but most of it was ace and different. And I still mantain that SW fandom is pretty alergic to change. I'm in that fandom, I'm part of some SW forums on the Internet, and, yeah, it's pretty much polarized about it. I still think that the movie is way better than the majority of SW films. Which is a franchise I really like, but it's uneven as hell xD. I respect those opinions though, but I think part of the fandom think SW is the second coming of Christ, and their expectations are highly unrealistic.
