It was good overall, just went to see it tonight. Give it an 8/10.

I liked:

Spoiler!

1. How all the major characters died ... I mean not in a sadistic way. Story of the many nameless rebels who died trying to get the plans of the Death Star to the Alliance. True in many real life movements.
2. How the Rebel Alliance was really diverse and held together very loosely. Alliance considered Saw Gerrera as extreme. Once again, reflects reality, any protest or rebellion has its outliars that think the mainstream protest/resistance is not radical enough.
3. Chirrut Imwe's - martial artist in the tradition of Jedi's lightsabre skills and him being blind as a way to 'see' (Jedi's often close their eyes in crucial moments).
4. Multiculturalism of all major stars.

I didn't like:

Spoiler!

1. How they made Donnie Shell's character dorky with his constant quoting of 'I am one of the force and the force is with me.' WTF was that?
2. Rehash of certain themes, always a group on the ground that has to deactivate a shield so something can happen. And the master switch ... WTH was that? You mean in this sci fi world, you still turn things on and off by a big lever like that???
3. Let's put another child on a remote planet (without parents) and have her grow up to be part of the resistance.

There are probably others.
