I didn't hate this movie...but the Hollywood formula is broken. I'm pretty sure this was written on the fly with no real plan. It had enough good in it I could look past what didn't work. I will give it a C which is enough to pass med school and give you advice based on what pharmaceutical reps pay you to dispense.

Are you the new Roger Ebert? You've got the physique for the job.

Yeah....Hollywood really doesn't get it. I still found enough in it to be enjoyable.
It's like they saw Iron Man and said...Robert Downey Jr quipping is the key to success, so lets make every character in every movie RDJ.
Forget story...throw some quips in...
Poe Dameron gives more rah rah mini-monologues in one movie than Capt America did in seven.

I loved it. Still fresh in my mind but might be my favorite of all 9 episodes.

Strongly disliked it, very disappointing to me as a Star Wars fan. Seems like us SW fans are as split on this as we were on The Last Jedi.

The Last Jedi isn't even a movie...Weekend at Bernie's 2 had a more coherent plot. After my second viewing I like it more.
