Looking through his tweets, did this dude watch Cats and Star Wars in the same night? Sounds emotionally draining so I guess I understand the tears now.

Most reactions I'm seeing seem to be positive

The consensus seems to be it's not the best movie of the saga but is certainly the best of the trilogy and hits a lot of good story/emotional beats and does a fair job ending everything

Regular criticism I've heard was that it feels "stuffed" and that the plot is "video game-y"

Cats and a ST movie in one night will make you cry out of sadness.

I've seen a lot of hostile takes on the movie, and this is the first time that I'm hearing about storytelling and emotional Beats. I'm not sure if that says more about the quality of the movie, or the quality of the discourse.

Let me guess, the vocal minority?

And by "video game plot" he's referring to the 8-16 bit era where the story was mostly a footnote in the manual

Kinda hard to make a good 9th film when 7 and 8 did not have much story to begin with, and while 7 gave a lot of options 8 decided to shit all over that because a fucking idiot had his own agenda vs telling a story.

Iunno I just found a big compilation of a bunch of tweet reviews from people who saw it last night and that was my takeaway.

I've never met a group of people that hate something that they claim to be a fan of as much as Star Wars nerds. Unless maybe it's WWE fans.
