I enjoyed the tragic, heartbreaking fairytale of Ben Solo.
I would have preferred to see the film follow the more interesting thread The Last Jedi was sewing, rather than throwing in all this crash bang flashy flashy Emperor stuff. But I did have fun with all this crash bang flashy flashy Emperor stuff.
EDIT: After much more thought, I'm incredibly disappointed by many aspects of this film, and it's easy to see a million missed opportunities for the conclusion of the trilogy and the saga. But I see some people love this movie, and that inspires me to view it in a charitable light. There should be more kindness and desire for understanding in film discussion.
This was bad. I can't really tell you which is worse: the story, the dialogue, the directing or the acting. I was unable to find a single redeeming quality about this pile of dung. If I could say anything to David Gordon Green after this, it would be: "Please, stop."
With a better script, this could have been a Halloween classic for the kids. The actors are good and the special effects are fine but the plotting is all over the place. This is a shame as while it is largely enjoyable, there was the potential for something better.
The subtitle should not be "The House that Spirits Built." It should have been "An Adequate Cure for Insomnia." 2/10
