*SPOILERS* Movie start off pretty horribly but picks up so well in the last two thirds. The main reason people are hating on this movie is that Palpatine was just inserted for fan service, but canonically Palpatine never died in Episode VI so his appearance isn't completely random. Movie serves as a great close to the Skywalker saga and if you can look past the lam beginning it's a great film. Very intense and emotional.
