I just watched the movie about 3 hours ago and seeing so much good review I simply can't understand them. So let me give you my opinion on it.
The first scene is just so wrong on so many level:
1. make fun of the empire by mocking a general, that way the empire is no more to be afraid of 2. destroy all turret of an amiral level destroyer with a single slightly modified x-wing going against all previous rules 3. Hear the sound of spaceships in space from the planet... 4. Survives a few minutes in space... And that is just the few very first scenes.
This is also one of the rare movie in which I remarked technical problem between scenes. People not being at the same place 1/3rd of a second after, etc.. I generally never detect this kind of issue in a movie. So that must be really huge coordination problem here.
In some scene, I was more in a disney movie for children than in a Star Wars.
I couldn't relate to any character. Lot of detail didn't make any sense to me as well as many character decisions.
Not everything is to be thrown away though. There are very good scenes and ideas too. For example, Laura Dern was just great, and its last scene in the movie is quite beautiful and creative. I also enjoyed some actions and special effects which are generally quite pleasing. But there were very good occasions to make a great movie, and all of them were lost, so in the end, that is not a movie I think I'll remember.
So if you are ok to look at a Disney movie, go for it you'll be happy. If you want to watch a Star Wars movie "à la" Rogue One. Then, you better not watch this movie.
