Evan’s review published on Letterboxd:
This is perhaps the most disappointed I've ever been after a movie. Honestly, I was flat out bored during the majority of the run-time :(
What I Liked
Snoke (Legitimately scary. Excellent villain. Wish we saw more of him)
Luke Skywalker
Lightsaber choreography
Action sequence in Snoke's lair (so bad ass)
Poe
BB-8
Kylo Ren
The 2nd half of the film
The ending
What I Disliked
We get literally no answers
The 1st half of the movie
The pacing
The Dialogue
Not enough lightsaber fights (there's literally no saber v saber battle)
Rey and Finn (they were amazing in TFA, what the heck happened)
Rose and Finn's subplot
The ship running out of fuel subplot
Needed more Snoke
The jokes
Captain Phasma (still a pointless character, which is disappointing. They could have done some awesome things with her)
TLJ feels like a bridge between Episode 7 and Episode 9. It's just set up.
I will be seeing this again before giving final judgement. As of now it's just fine (B-). Once I see it again I plan on doing a more in-depth review.
