It has been a largely positive reaction from those who have seen the film.

One fan said: "I am absolutely blown away! I've never been so satisfied by a film. This is the end of an era and a franchise that has defined my life and this did it justice in a way I didn't imagine it could. "

But one entertainment reporter said while there were "good" elements in the film, he said there is "more that is disappointing".
