I thought it was a good movie, and I mean, I would happily sit and watch anything Star Wars for hours on end.
Still, I don't think it was a great story and it really borrow heavily on the ESB and ROTJ thematics, heck.. the Snoke scenes seem almost plagiarized from parts of ESB and ROTJ. The scenes on the island with Rey are very similar to those on Dagobah between Luke and Yoda. The "codebreaker" betrayal of Rosie and Finn was very Cloud City betrayal by Lando.
I thought the humour was pretty good in this. Flying space Leia was, well, surreal. She looked like a Statue of Liberty rocket.
This movie does though, now that it has pretty much done its own version of ANH/ESB/ROTJ can finally do something completely unique in the final act.
