Decided to go and see this again, with a friend on New Year's Day making it the first film for me of 2018. I have to say it still held up on the entertainment front, although now I began to notice some of the flaws, the niggling plot holes and the, at times, uneven tone. That said it was very entertaining and for the life of me I can't see what's bugging the fans so much. As far as I'm concerned it's worth seeing just for the Rey/Ren/Snoke, and the Luke Skywalker showdown story line. Featuring fabulous effects, great battles and some good solid action. It's still let down by a slightly unnecessary side mission to a casino planet for some clunking dialogue about the true cost of warfare - IE the greed of becoming fantastically wealthy from the selling of weapons, which is ironic considering Disney spent 4.5 billion dollars acquiring the Star Wars universe and have no intention of ever letting that particular war end.
But still, this is a great, action-packed and thrilling adventure which points to an exciting future for the main Star Wars franchise.
8/10
