Sorry but no, there’s some qualities here and here, but overall the movie is a mess. A lot of the fan services were too evident and cringy at the same time.
Some moments are supposed to have emotional consequences, but even impactful decisions aren’t worth anything since movie maker isn’t even committed to them, CPO is a good example of that.
Abrams is trying so much to undo or ignore the previous movie that he tried to reignite the spark of all useless plot lines he started in the TFA and it feels like an ego trip throughout the full duration of the movie.
The movie would have been better without the rectconning.
