What I didn't like first:

1)Too many "bits" - especially the one between Poe and Hux was silly.

2)I did not like Snoke's throne room - just seemed like s soundstage .

3)The fight in the throne room - to me - was slow and corny after Snoke was down. Why are they wearing all that shit on their heads, maybe removing that might have been better? And the "going into attack mode" moves before the fight seemed silly. And I did not think the choerogaphy of the actual fight was great.

4)Captain Phasma is still lame - let's hope she's actually dead.

5)Why do they wait so long to kill people? On my command ... wait for it ... wait for it... wait for it......... Oh, an explosion has diverted my attention.

6)BB-8 as the security droid was way to slapstick too many times.

7)Some of the ski-speeder effects seemed cheesy.

8)I was unclear why didn't the bombers start dropping earlier? They'd have at least damaged the dreadnought.

9)Finn and Rose running around Las Vegas like idiots - I mean running wildly through the casino and drawing attention to themselves before they got stunned.

What I did like:
1)Good action.

2)Leia's angelic return to the ship. I thought that was beautiful.

3)Yoda is YODA again - not the lame hopping around Yoda. He was a bit trickier than before - but being dead might do that to you.

4)Adam Driver's fighting style. He seems very menacing and powerful.

5)Loved the ship designs.

6)I liked Luke a lot.

This film really does have me scratching my head about what comes next - that's good.

Oh, and that kid at the end was awful - just staring off into space and trying to give you hope - I really didn't like the take in the film.

Someone posted the original take on Youtube - it might get deleted soon:
