Just saw it and I say meh

First of all, I have never liked Carrie Fisher's acting. She always feels dead behind the eyes ( no pun intended ) and this was no different. I feel like the should have killed Leia off when the blast hit the ship. (Also why did Laura Dern wait for like ten escapes ships to blow up until she started to aim her thing at Snoke's Ship. Also, why did she need to stay and pilot the ship? Do they not have auto-pilot?) Instead, they have painted themselves into a hole where CGI Leia has to make an appearance in the next film.
Most of the comedy for me felt forced and flat. The only funny line I can remember is with Hutch, Ren and the random tech guy when they are attacking the rebel's base. Problem is they don't have any charismatic characters carrying this. Boyega is trying but most of his stuff does not connect for me, Fisher has no charisma, neither does Hamill nor Marie Tran. Rey has some but not enough, same with Isaac.
I enjoyed the tension between Driver, Riddley, and Hamill however. I feel it would have been more interesting if Rey did accept/join Ren, and become a grey force to bring balance to the force.
Snoke was a joke imo and down with the porgs.
