Not controversial. You like what you like.
Now, if you had said something like "The Last Jedi is a good movie." Well, that's demonstrably untrue.
It LOOKS good, I'll give you that. The salt planet with the red soil was inspired.
It's too bad Rian Johnson didn't get an average 5th grader to proof read the script.
For example:
Leia and Rey have this touching scene where Leia gives her this tracking gem that will let her come back to the fleet no matter where they go.
Then, in the VERY SAME SCENE, the New Order pops out of hyperspace and another character says, out loud, "they tracked us through hyperspace???!? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!"
First - you literally just explained how yes, it was possible 2 sentences ago.
Second - Tracking devices have been a thing since the first Star Wars.
"TARKIN You're sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship? I'm taking an awful risk, Vader. This had better work."
91% of film critics agree it's a good movie. That's more than feel that way about Return of The Jedi. And way more than any of the prequels.
91% of film critics didn't want to be on the wrong side of a rabid fanbase. ;)
The rabbid die hard Star Wars fans are very loud about hating that film.
Sure, but the critics couldn't have known that when they wrote the reviews.
