Just saw it with my son. It is what Star Wars usually is for me.
(something I posted on another [non-A/V forum]):
Overall, I view Star Wars as entertaining popcorn fare with little depth (I know, I know...
). I find them all roughly equally entertaining but rarely thought-provoking. Empire and The Last Jedi (in relative terms) are the most thought-provoking and the ones that run counter to expectations (again, in relative terms). These days, I get the most gratification from Star Wars films by watching them with my son and seeing his engagement with them (his palpable sense of relief when Chewie was not dead after all was more powerful than that of any of the actors on-screen). I revisit Trek by myself on a regular basis. I revisit (or visit) Star Wars with my son. I guess that best illustrates my overall appreciation of Star Wars.
Certainly worth a viewing for anyone who has seen all the others at the cinema. By now, you know you'll like it...or you won't. It's Star Wars--with all that implies.
