Thought it was fine. Maybe a bit too many space battle scenes.

Liked that they fleshed out Poe's character this time. Actually, I'm surprised how developed they made him in a film where tons of other stuff is happening. Went from a hot-headed, but well-meaning, pilot who constantly thought blowing stuff up all the time was the solution, to knowing better by the end of the film. (continued below)

"Pros/Cons" (like for real spoilers now)

-I thought the Super Space Leia scene was HILARIOUS.

-Kylo Ren continues to whine about everything. At the very least, please don't whine as much in Episode 9.

-Captain Phasma is officially the most useless character in the new Star Wars movies. The Traitor Thief did more damage to the rebellion than she did in these last two movies! And all he did was give away information! She dead? If she actually died, then jeez...

-Had zero issues with Luke passing on. At least he did it gracefully. It tied into the whole notion that these movies shouldn't completely revolve around the Jedi. If you watched the original trilogy, they were never the full focus. They were just part of a bigger story. I mean, yeah, they're cool and all, but...

-Kylo Ren's whining. It never ends.

-But seriously, probably my biggest gripe is the middle part, where Finn and the woman went to Gambling Planet, simply because it felt like a waste of film. Dragged on too long. And when the woman freed the enslaved animal and said "Now it was worth it." I immediately thought, "Yeah... but, they could easily capture them all again. Doesn't seem that hard with their technology..."

-Edit: I just realized something - there was a surprising lack of Stormtroopers in this movie. The only time I remember them is when they were all gathered for the execution.

-Edit 2: And yeah, after reading/listening to other in-depth reviews of the movie, Poe pretty much doomed the whole crew for the duration of the plot with refusing to follow orders at the start of the film. Laura Dern's character wasn't any better for not setting Poe to the side and telling him what her actual plan was. >_>

-But yeah, it was fine. Not bad, not great, just fine. Thought it was better than Episode 7, aka A New Hope Part 2.
