I felt like a kid again at the movies. Big smiles on my face from beginning to end, mixed-in with some real genuine emotion and tears. A lot of focus on the main characters, Rey, Finn and Poe - with heavy emphasis on working together with Chewbacca and the droids. Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver hit it out-of-the-park. Ian McDiarmid was incredible!
The so-called "expert" industry critics are just upset that JJ dissed almost all of Ryan Johnson's "Let the Past Die" garbage. So they dislike, that JJ disliked, The Last jedi which these critics loved. If you love Luke being sad and distraught, casino scenes for a political agenda, and Leia flying through Space like Mary Poppins - then don't see this movie, you'll hate it.
