While it without a doubt is a masterclass in editing, cinematography, SOUND DESIGN :0, casting I can't seem to ignore the glaring flaws. The cast as expected is masterclass and I especially really enjoyed Bardem and Butler this time around and Denis will most likely get a best director nomination next year.

Even though there is no doubt about its "epicness" I found it to have an even bigger pacing issue than the first one. Somewhere midway through it had me looking at my watch wondering if it is close to ending and found out that we are just grazing into the second act.

The third act felt rushed and the conclusion while understandably set up for a continuation in Messiah felt really undeserving and abrupt. I would have liked to expand the third act maybe 20 more minutes just to have the movie conclude at a satisfying point rather than in the middle of the story exactly as the first one did. I might pump this up to a 9 if the next movie concludes the story in a satisfying manner.

Overall a great film with many flaws that I unfortunately can't look past. It is one of the great modern sci fi's but dare I say, didn't exactly live up to the hype. See it at the biggest screen possible, 8/10.

Love it. It is so good and the best movie I have ever seen. My favorite character is the seal, its so cute and funny! I only wish that it had drowned in the cave.

Have the series had it's problems? Sure. Faulty writing, dumb dialogue and questionable choices. However, it all led to a fantastic finale that gave me all I have ever wanted and more. Plot holes will happen when you bridge a gap this big and still want to tell a compelling story but with the whole picture I would absolutely say that this series filled the gaps between 3 and 4 brilliantly with a few minor plot holes that can be overlooked. I am happily satisfied with how it closed Obi Wan's story but still looking forward to a potential second season if it is being offered.
