This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are some very real issues with this film that people should not simply ignore by writing it off as "a kid's movie" or "just something different." They need to try to understand where the haters are coming from and realize that there is some logic at play there, not just butthurt fanboys who are not "true fans." The film is too long, relies on a terrible chase through space sequence that makes no logical sense. If the first order outnumbers them a thousand to one, they could easily have other ships jump in ahead of their position and end it instantly. The fact that they do not do this makes the first order AGAIN look inept. The Canto Bite segment was unnecessary and BB8 constantly rescuing them through slapstick hijinx got old really quick. Like VII, just constantly too many plot holes to avoid. How did Rey get back on the Falcon after Snoke? How did Finn drag Rose 2 miles back to the entrance without getting shot in less than a few minutes? How did Rey know to look for them escaping through the back tunnel? That is just the tip of the iceberg. It is not us fans being salty- it is us expecting better when there IS some amazing SW fiction out there right now that is wonderful. The Comics, Rebels tv show-- feel more like the SW universe that we grew up with and know. This is something else. Something that is just not well thought out. VII was a step in the wrong direction, this is the second step in that same direction. Let's not even talk about the fact that the questions they have been baiting us with for years in regards to Snoke and her parents, do not even matter at all. Done with with soap opera that used to be a space opera.… Expand

Second act of a very not-inspired trilogy, which relies more on nostalgia than the idea of creating something new. A movie you watch because is part of a famous saga, but if it was a standalone product.. this would have been (rightfully) trashed.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers.....



Who was Snoke? Why did he die in the middle of a speech about how what was about to happen could never happen? Who was the man on the Island pretending to be Luke Skywalker? How can Snoke bend time and space with the force, to allow Rey and Kylo Ren to speak, but die so easily? Why didn't Snoke **** slap Fake Luke Skywalker into the sea with his mind, given that he must know where Fake Luke Skywalker is at this point, and can attack people by telepathy remotely? How come Princess Leya can survive a hard vacuum, and fly in space? Why did the bombs fall on the dreadnought even though there was no planet to create the gravity? Why is the Dark-side of the force represented by a dodgy mirror in a blowhole cave? Why did Fake Luke Skywalker do such a bad job of pretending to be Real Luke Skywalker? Does Fake Luke Skywalker not know that Real Luke Skywalker is a hero and would never set out to kill Kylo Ren, his nephew? Why did Fake Luke Skywalker force hologram himself into a secret rebel mountain fortress to lightsaber duel Kylo Ren, thus avoid being killed, only to die of exhaustion? When the First Order were chasing the rebel fleet at slower than light speeds, why didn't they send 10,000 tie fighters after the rebels rather than slowly following them in their main ships? Why didn't Leia Poppins just blast a hole out of the mountain to leave by? Why didn't they auto-pilot the rebel ships they were going to loose at light-speed into the massive enemy ships, given that they flew the last one in manually and wiped out half the FO fleet? Why did Fasma just show up and then die? Who the hell was Fasma? Why aren't all storm troopers in armour like hers? Why did Fasma specifically find the longest method of killing her captives possible? How come Snoke has the galaxy's largest space ship? Why didn't the vice admiral tell anyone what her plan was, but instead appear to lead everyone to their deaths, and then act surprised when someone mutinied to try and do something. Where were the Knights of Ren? Why have they made Rey "force God" (the dark-side of the force shows her that she is the embodiment of the Light side of the force)? Why did Luke Skywalker travel to the first Jedi Temple in order to be replaced by Fake Luke Skywalker who jokes about never having read the half a dozen books in the temple because meh? Why was Fake Luke Skywalker surprised that people turned up to elicit the help or Real Luke Skywalker, given that Real Luke Skywalker left a cryptic map to the planet with the 'rebels'? Why are the rebels/resistance called the rebels/resistance, given that the First Order are the remnants of the Empire; surely the rebels are just the Navy/Army of the legitimate government? If not then what are the actual legitimate governments doing about the first Order? How come the Force ghost of Yoda has the power of Thor for no reason, and uses it to destroy the first Jedi Temple?

In no particular order those were some of the many questions the film left me with. Visually nice, good special effects, a couple of half decent fight scenes, OK music. Worthless plot, stupid characters. Luke Skywalker was a completely different character, Leia has sporadic super powers, Snoke gets cut in half comically, and Admiral Aqbar died. Oh and all of the white men are 'toxic masculine' figures who are bumbling idiots who need to shut the **** up and get out of the way and let Women (who are superior) do the job. Don't bother with Disney Star wars any more, its a trap for the nostalgic.… Expand

What should have been incredibly tense action is undermined by a tone straight out of an animated Disney film (save the cute animals!). Characters that started out fairly interesting or at least with potential in ep.7, like Finn, fall completely flat in this one. Plot lines, imagery and even dialogue are copied/pasted straight out of the original trilogy. Everything feels forced, and imbued with a corporate blandness. There are constant, pointless "plot twists", and as a bonus, everything you knew and loved from Star Wars gets thrown out the window.… Expand

While some shots are beautiful and a few scenes even compelling, the overall movie is a contrived mess that takes an ax to the story of the previous films and providing only some tensionless action schlock in return. Many character decisions are utterly baffling or groan-worthy, and one even provides a new Worst Line in the Saga - yes, below even not liking sand.

Ultimately, the movie weighs on you like some Dark Side user is trying to choke you from a system away. It deserves recognition for its quality cinematography and a few well-executed scenes, but the overall product is not worth spending money on.

Yes, I would personally consider this movie worse than any of the prequels.… Expand

Two films deep into the trilogy, the film is yet to establish a single new character that has any similar impact as that in the last two sagas. Those characters that were promised to play big roles in the last instalment were discarded in the most unsatisfying manner. It still relies on the OT characters for emotional impact, while at the same time stomps all over what happened in the OT. With some spectacular set pieces and amazing cinematography in places, those who were not that invested in Star Wars previously may find it an enjoyable ride. But a portion of Star Wars fans would find themselves in the same position as Mark Hamill when he first read the script: 'fundamentally disagreeing'.… Expand

I left feeling empty and unexcited for episode IX, JJ Abrams has a tall task ahead of him to take this steaming pile that Rian Johnson left him. There needs to be a new villain introduced in Episode IX 100% more bad ass, feared and scarier than what Kylo Ren is. So bad. Critics raving about this movie are idiots.… Expand

You could skip this Steampunk-Anime-Star Wars movie and miss nothing. Star Wars seems to be creeping into comicbook super hero franchise territory. I don't see all of those anymore, and if I do get tricked into one and dont like it, well then I don't go to see that film multiple times. Because thats what i enjoy, a film that makes me feel good, interested,or anything, something. I wont be seeing Last Jedi again. My least favorite Star Wars movie. The comedy worked, but was just the same joke the entire film done over-and-over. Nothing resonated very well for me, just a total disconnect. All that firepower and tech and I feel like no characters, plot, or anything at all moved forward, nor looked back well enough, no added mythos, no questions answered. A meme gif reel of a film. Saw on IMAX RPX, but the cinematography was disappointing, even if it was purposefully vintage. Adam driver was apt with a poor script. Finn is screaming to be better written, Boyega could give so much more. Leia could be added to a blog about another potential hidden sith lord in the star wars cinematic universe. So many evil Jar Jars in Last Jedi if you look at these characters decision making. I felt that the ending was like watching a tv show that I decide half way was a poor choice and I just shut if off, click, over, so what. The movie should have ended directly after Lukes reaction to being handed the lightsaber from Rey. Luke, atleast, knew wtf was going on here. Yoga-Luke phoning in his wisdom. I had high demands, but still, least favorite, which is a long list at this point, that will never stop growing. The origin of blue-milk is not the fan service I was looking for. Animals are cuddly and our friends, thanks Walt Disney. We know.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't hide the fact that I hate Disney and what they've done to Star Wars. With Episode 7 and Rogue One they sucked all the life and heart out of the franchise and drained any excitement I had for future installments. But despite that, I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. And that was the saddest part of it all. Underneath all the filth, there is a great movie in the Last Jedi, but everything leading up to the movie killed any chance for this movie.
The film is visually stunning, with beautiful environments and brilliant set-pieces. It looked and sounded like Star Wars, but it didn't feel like Star Wars.

For me, the only two new characters worth caring about in this trilogy are Rey and Kylo Ren, and fortunately, their relationship is the strongest part of the story. Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley have chemistry together that no one in the cast can come close to. Scenes with them are indeed heartfelt and sincere and I genuinely want them to be together, whether they are family or soulfates. And the fight with the Royal Guard gave me goosebumps, bringing back memories of Jacen and Jaina Solo battling members of the Sith Order in the Jedi Academy series.
And one final positive goes to the final scene with Luke. While Luke's death was something that angered me to no end, his sendoff was near-perfect. From the binary Sunset to the music, it was respectful farewell to such an icon, which is more than I can say for Han Solo's death in Episode 7.

However, that's where the positives end. The plot is flat out bad. It's just the Empire Strikes Back in reverse where the Rebels flee to the base rather than from the base, with bits of Return of the Jedi for good measure.
While Kylo Ren and Rey are compelling when they're together, when they're apart, they don't have much to offer. Without Kylo Ren, Rey is just a bland Mary Sue, while without Rey, Kylo Ren is just a winy little **** that makes Hayden Christensen's portrayal of Anakin seem Oscar worthy. And the rest of the cast are beyond boring. Finn and Rose's story is completely unnecessary and is just there to fill Disney's political quota of animal abuse (something that is completely out of place in a Star Wars movie). While all the political drama in the copycats for both the Empire and Rebellion carry so little weight, they might as well flout. But the biggest offense of the Last Jedi, is how meaningless everything feels by the end. The biggest example being Snoke, who is killed by Kylo Ren with no fanfare or mind-blowing reveal, making all of the theorizing about Snoke completely pointless. In addition, we still don't know who Rey's parents are, and considering how much of a big deal they are making of it, she now has to be a Skywalker or a Solo. Otherwise, Disney will straight up be admitting that they don't care about the story, only the money. In 2015, Episode 7 released, and I gave into the hype, because I just love Star Wars so much. But after watching it again, the movie got worse and worse. Star Wars has almost become an addiction for me. I keep anticipating what the future holds for the franchise only to be disappointed. Episode 7 is a bad movie. Episode 8 on the other hand, is disappointing. I want Star Wars to be great, but JJ Abrams booked Rian Johnson into a corner, which has caused irreversible damage to this new trilogy. And with countless upcoming spinoff movies coming up, the fatigue is starting to really get to me.
The worst part, this all could have been avoided. If the Expanded Universe had remained as the sole canon, and Kathleen Kennedy was able to keep her ego in check by allowing George Lucas to be a part of the creative process, this whole next chapter of Star Wars could have turned out so much better. But we'll never know for sure. My suggestion. Keep your expectation low, or just don't see this movie in theater. If you really want to see this, wait until it's at your local redbox. Much like EA, Disney only speaks with what's in your wallet. If you want Star Wars to return to its former glory, speak their language. I will always love the original trilogy along with the prequels and all the EU that filled all the gaps before, between, and after. But I just can't accept what Disney is doing with the saga as MY canon. I'm not being a sexist, a racist, or just a Disney hater. I just want a good Star Wars movie, and this is not one.
We're not the manbabies Disney. You are. You say failure is the greatest teacher, then explain to me why you can't accept your own failure.… Expand

The master was reluctant to train again. The pupil ran off early again. The good guys flee again. The At At assault on the white planet happens at the end of the movie instead of the beginning to really shake things up.

We are in the some spot as the end of the last movie. Rey is the all powerful good guy who we already know can easily beat the bad guy Kylo. They have no answer for Snoke or why the empire off shoot has overthrown the new republic. When people talk about trying different things, being weird, and the outlier for Star Wars films, they are talking about story teases and set ups they didn't have the guts to pull the trigger on. Nothing new, weird, or fundamentally different lasts more than 10 minutes, and the film always quickly returns to safety. It is derrivative of Empire and Battlestar Galactica with no new novel ideas for it's time and had none of the plot turns those stories had.… Expand

Very slow plot development, some predictable situations, even they dare to recycle events like heroic sacrifice two and a possible third time with Finn in the same movie, very dissapointed.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A sequel to the 2 hour-long teaser TFA, TLJ was an outcome of the producers who only have cliche smashing in their mind. A lot of plot progressions and subplots were just there for the sake of advancing the plot. Many characters and scenes were wasted to advance this plot. Yet the plot somewhat ends up being hypocritical and not creative, rather than being entertaining. On one side, we have characters who are portrayed as bumbling, war-crazed idiots. On the other side, there are characters who oppose the 'traditional resistance movement' because it perpetuate hate, etc. Yet these same characters perform hyperspace kamikaze on the enemies, perpetuating hate. What is the message? First Order's atrocities were well-portrayed on the first movie and there was a reason, albeit being stale and unoriginal, for resistance. Now, there is some random side-character who preaches this 'both sides are dumb puppets to the weapons industry, get out of war,' 80's hippie philosophy. Yet at the end, our characters again promises to fight for tomorrow to undo the First Order. Again, what is the message? A lot of twists and cliche breaking were done for the sake of just having such. If the producers wanted to create something new and revolutionary, that is not a Star Wars, they should have done so by not abusing the franchise name and nostalgia value of the IP. When you were raking gold with this IP and promptly attempt to create this edgy, 'modern' twists on the IP through a lot of plot-holes and conflicting messages, don't expect the audience to take it so kindly. At the end of the movie, when almost all the old casts are wiped away, we have these bland characters with near to none character development over two new movies. We have a main antagonist who is still this man-child who has anger-management issue and teenage emo angst. I am not sure what should I be expecting for the last movie. What is the message and what am I supposed to expect out of all this?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Created MC account just so I could vote "HORRIBLE" movie

Luke is portrayed as a coward through the whole movie and is reluctant and never actually showed up to fight Kylo and this is weak writing. How can that become a cause by fighting via virtual reality..lol? It's better if Luke actually showed up, kicked some First Order butt and then became a sacrifice, ergo uniting everyone and doing the right thing. Man, that would have been such a powerful scene and all could be forgiven (maybe).

Comedy scenes included are absurd (comedy is good to have but not this way) and take away the sense of urgency and importance of the fight too much, characters are shallow and cliche, enough plot holes to fill every hole on a golf course, and severe deus ex machina (the Force mostly) used for convenience and lazy/bad writing.

Men in this movie are portrayed as idiots or macho. Women are not well represented or respected either and does them a disservice. The people who funded (Disney), wrote and directed this movie must have no morality or clue, therefore the movie had none. I was giving it a 6/10 (probably from shock) but more I dwell on these things, it's more like a 1/10. Bad movie but terrible Star Wars.… Expand

I imagine the recipe for such "brilliance" was to pack a room with progressive liberals and focus-group them until death do us part. This resulted in a final product empowering all the right groups (think Hillary and Angela Merkel as rebel commanders) and dishing out justice to dumb-ass, testosterone-filled dirt bags (Luke Skywalker included).

Awkward, embarrassing comedy, plot holes, characters who don’t evolve in any direction… things as basic as pace or continuity are broken. It feels more like a super high budget amateur fanfiction, a bunch of action set pieces put together with no sense of story or even logic. TLJ manage to waste the Force Awakens and original trilogy legacy alike, leaving you emotionless and disappointed. Is not only a bad STAR WARS movie, it’s an awfully bad movie. Kind of fishy how all the critics are praising this: Disney tentacles are long indeed!

The good? Well, visually stunning at times. The acting in general is far superior to TFA. Actors do a good job with the poor material they’ve been given to work with.

Other than that, just boring.… Expand

The Star Wars we grew up with had so many systems, civilisations, ways of life and rich characters to love. The Last Jedi does not do any of this.

Instead, what Disney is doing with the series is replacing the world-building with endless montages of cheap climaxes. Mind you that they are fun to watch at first, but they leave you empty and bitter afterwards because they were just cheap thrills that actually destroy the world Star Wars is built upon. The Last Jedi resembles more of a cheesy soap opera than the science fiction epic that was the pre-Disney Star Wars. That is why fans absolutely hate this movie and what Disney is doing with the Star Wars franchise.… Expand

I was truly trying to love the movie as I was watching it, I wanted to like it, I really did. But Its not a traditional Star Wars film and it was honestly the strangest Star Wars movie I've ever seen in terms of pace, story telling and overall feel. It seemed like too many stories were trying to be told at once, and left a hot mess of a movie. Some of the best parts and reveals of the movie were snuffed out by over saturation of a side story with minor characters, or unnecessary plot twists that lead to more unnecessary plot twists. They really let us down on some of the reveals and some characters were gravely disrespected. Among it all there's a visible effort to tell a great story, with terrible, awful, over saturated execution. It really feels like additional setup for the last movie, Episode IX, instead of a standalone triumph like every other Star Wars film. The Force Awakens was a much better film, and that breaks my heart the most. I thinks we all wanted this movie to delve deep into these new characters, and all we got were more questions.… Expand

With great trailers made by a marketing team who clearly isn't paid enough, The Last Jedi promoted itself as being the next Empire Strikes Back. Yet we managed to get something more sloppy than Attack of the Clones, with uneven pacing, incomplete arcs, and an all-round lack of appreciation for continuity or the force itself. While the Froce awakens wasn't a great film it is not doubt to me a serviceable entry, sure most of the plot had been duplicated from A New Hope, but it built foundations which would serve as the bed-rock for episode 8 & 9 to carry on from. Those foundations are now gone. Now one can only wonder how JJ Abrahams will salvage the saga to create a fitting conclusion for a trilogy that still is still yet to prove or find what it wants to be.… Expand

All the main characters are doing stupid things one after another. There is no tension and adversity, since most of the problems the characters face is because they were too stupid to think 5minutes before acting. Like Finn and Rey parking their ship right in front of the big casino. What were they expecting, that no one would see it ? Rey going inside a dark side nexus to ask it who were her parents ? What kind of moron would ask that kind of question in that place ???

As for the plotholes, what about the Maz communication ? If they can send a long-range communication to Maz, why can't they send one to ask for reinforcements ? Why do they have to wait until they're on the rebel base ? How can Maz know what the cracker will wear that day ? No answers, those plots are just a**pulls.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rian Johnson directed the worst Star Wars movie, for me.

I saw it again tonight. When the movie was over still I felt terrible in the theater.

- First of all, the opening. Poe Dameron vs The First Order ships was completely bad writing. As Poe Dameron destroyed the weapons one by one, we saw General Hux watching the events from the his window. And only three Tie-Fighter chases him. Maybe the others watched like a movie.

- The First Order and Resistance's hole chase is completely bad writing, again. We've seen the Star Destroyers moves fast like other ships before. There are dozens of Star Destroyers on the same screen in TLJ and none of them catch the ship.

- While chasing, they said the resistance ship had 13 hours of fuel left. And... At the same time Rey staying two days in the island. So, where is that writers mind?

- The whole Casino scene is destroyes the movie, no doubt. The big pile of the writers. The scene on horseback also horrible, this film is not some Narnia. It's Star Wars.

- Rose... This girl was the worst character of Star Wars, for me. Even the Jar Jar Binks was not so empty and unnecessary, for me.

- Finn is my second favorite in the Force Awakens. For the first time they gave Stormtrooper a meaning. In this film... Every scene Finn with Rose has is bad.

- Leia flying in space... Is the worst scene of Star Wars history. There is not even a word to say.

- Snoke. I have no problem with Snoke's death. Cause, he was cheap copy of the Emperor. They didn't even write a backstory. But, they ruined that Red Room fight. The set and cinematography of this scene was awesome. But again, that writing are bad.

- Rey's Jedi Fight training is only 1. She knows only a few fighting moves. She used the Lightsaber only twice. First of all against Kylo in the Force Awakens. Then against Luke in The Last Jedi. And after all, she can easily beat The Elite Praetorian Guard's of the Snoke. That was one of the most worst and absurd Star Wars fights.

- Daisy Ridley is absolutely fit for Rey role, no doubt. I don't care about Rey's family, does not have to be special or a chosen thing. But I do not accept such a cheap characterization. This character does not have to know everything about Force so easily. This was one of JJ.Abrams's mistakes and I thought it would be fixed in the second movie. And... They more ruined.

- And the biggest thing that mads me, what throws the film in the big hole. They absolutely ruined Luke Skywalker. I will never accept that. He didn't even have his own solo lightsaber fight scene. They've ruined his role with force projection thing. They wrote a absolutely bad scenario that never fits his characterization. Even Mark Hamill suffered while reading. And the scene where he died. Saddest thing ever for a legendary character.

All this and more is making this movie a worst Star Wars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm just disappointed. I really don't want to, but I can't really understand where all the great critics from the press and some of my friends come from. Episode 7 was great in my opinion.
Of course, it copied episode 4 in many moments and some scenes didn't really make sense, but that was ok for me, because it made you feel nostalgic.
I just had a good feeling when I came out of the theatre.

But now to Episode 8:

Leia's "coming back from death" scene was actually the **** moment in any movie I've seen. It would have been ok to me, if she just died (RIP Carry Fisher). I mean you could not know before, that the actor will die, but the role itself didn't have any relevance in the story anymore. The movie was always about "let the past die", so why Leia cannot?

The movie was too long. The whole story around Kantobyte was just irrelevant for the plot and also quite ****. I mean they got arrested for wrong parking... WRONG PARKING!?!?!?! Really Disney??? WTF is wrong with you?!? Some criticism on society isn't bad... ok... but I felt pretty bored about this action strand.
Furthermore, I couldn't have felt more indifferently about Rose. Everything episode 7 just built up, is now **** up!
Snoke, who came out of nowhere, able to teach the "mighty" Kylo Ren and strong enough to built up the first order...dead now.
Nobody knows who he is and where he's coming from. Palpatin must have heard of him... he just had to. You could have write a awesome background story of his character, but Disney seemed to have no ideas, so they just said:" ok, let him die,cause we aren't creative today!"
And for everyone who's saying:"They will make a movie just about snoke maybe!" It won't change anything! An interesting and mysterious character died in a ridiculous way.

The whole scene about Rey trying to convert Kylo... I felt like I sat in Episode 6. Just the same old thing. What really worked in episode 7 in my opinion, just feels uninspired now.

Luke Skywalker, most unsympathetic character of the year!
Ok, we understand, you hate yourself, but why you have to pity yourself for 2 f*cking hours???
Everyone just wanted to watch epic practicing scenes. I saw actually one wich made me feel disappointed.
But I have to say: The last fight against Kylo was damn awesome and for everybody who's crying that he died... The movie is called:"The Last Jedi!"

The Humor just killed it all!
I liked it in episode 7, but those cute BB8 moments in episode 7, just came all 3 minutes.
F*CK PORGS! Nobody liked Jar Jar, so why are you doing something even 1000 times more stupidly???
Just for making merch? Shame on you!


I mean, of course there have been scenes I even liked, but the decisions about the story, how they threw away interesting characters like Phasma and Snoke and the humor just disappointed me. All in all, Im not a big fan of the movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've never written a metacritic review before but I'm just so angry at this movie that I have to. What to say about it? The whole movie is atrocious. The plot literally is this: Rebels (Resistance, whatever) are running away in a small ship from a big ship in the slowest space-chase ever. Then they go to a planet and run away some more. Iconic characters die in anti-climactic ways. No new lore is introduced, old lore - even from TFA - gets effectively nuked. Don't spend your hard earned cash on this.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I still can't believe that the movie ended up being like this. This is just a disgrace to the Star Wars series.

Regarding main characters:

Rey is just a rehash of previously shown jedi, she has no development whatsoever. It was even worse than in Episode 7 with her force and jedi combat skills appearing out of nowhere, she is able to stay on par with Kylo Ren in his normal state after 3 (!!!) days of training.

Luke was turned into a complete moron and weakling, the plot was so badly written that they had to bring up Yoda out of nowhere to add some motivation for Luke's actions.

Snoke turned out to be...a plot device, nothing more.

Kylo Ren was exactly the same as in the 7th movie, nothing new.

Finn and Rose Fantastic Beasts-style adventure was a cringefest, it added absolutely NOTHING to the story. Trying to make drama out of Rose’ retarded actions at the end of the film was absolutely disgusting, the same can be said about classic self-sacrificial attempt out of nowhere by Finn (motivation problems?).

On top of that, half of the cast was turned into clowns with classic Disney humor. Seemed like they tried to apply MCU formula to SW universe.

Regarding everything else:

From the beginning to the end, the movie is a complete mess. Too many coincidences, too many illogical actions by the characters, abnormally high amount of explosions and cringey moments, which are supposed to be funny. None of the answers from the part 7 were answered, they were just outright ignored. The only lightsaber combat scene is devoid of any emotions or even decent choreography and looks like an overhyped stage performance. They could’ve done so much with all the material they had, but they’ve decided not to.

Part 8 shares nothing in common with either the original trilogy or even the prequels. Aspects of the universe, in which these movies exceled, are absent here altogether. However, there is nothing to compensate for that. The movie is a massive letdown, a generic blockbuster. This is by no means a Star Wars movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Entretiene, es verdad, pero es mala por donde se le mire. Los personajes no solo carecen de motivaciones concretas o realistas, además son torpes y muy bufones. Es como si Starwas se mezclara con Guardianas de la Galaxia, lo que produce confusión y hace muy ridículas muchas partes. Disney ha llevado el film a una exposición de múltiples personajes y naves para vender. (Spoilers de aquí en adelante) La fuerza y lo que la fuerza puede ser sigue distorsionada y no pretende ser canónica. La trama NO responde ninguna de las preguntas sobre Rey, ni sobre Snoke, ni sobre la fuerza como energía en este nuevo escenario, o el Rol político del Nuevo Orden. Incluso la aparición de Yoda es tonta e innecesaria!!. Luke está distorsionado como personaje (lo dijo Mark Hamill en entrevistas) aquí hay un buena interpretación pero el problema esta en la trama. Los agujeros en la trama son EVIDENTES, suenan a recortes de montaje, pero aun así, no están a la altura de lo que yo espero de un film como este. puntos a su favor es que debe ser el episodio más bello, visualmente hablando, de toda la saga... Pero la capacidad del director no logra dar en el tono para sacar adelante un guión débil como este.
Lo único correcto para mi es el título "El último Jedi" ya que es el último que veré en el cine, Disney mató la franquicia, el resto de los episodios por venir los veré en el TV cable. La esencia de Starwars ha muerto.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, it's still better than any film in the prequel trilogy, but not by much and that isn't exactly high praise. The humour is too much, too often and too forced. It just isn't fitting in a Star wars film. The plot is shallow and leaves you wondering what was the point in all of those hints in The Force awakens, were they just leading us down the garden path to cash in on that sweet sweet nostalgia? Classic characters are killed off seemingly for no reason and new characters are killed off leaving you thinking, what was the point in episode 7? Kylo Ren flip-flops more than a fish out of water, making him possibly the least likeable character since Hayden Christensen played Anakin. The final result is a film that spends 60% of it's time on a side quest that would have been totally avoided if the rebellion leader had just said 'here's the plan' and another 30% on pretty poor character development. Leaving the fans with about 10% of the film which is actually worth watching. The reality is that if this is a sign of what's to come for Star Wars then the franchise is in serious trouble. Thanks Disney /s.… Expand

Often though, the guy at the top can't match their enthusiasm and skill. This movie really epitomizes that. Some of the things I liked about the previous movie were some of the questions it raised, so I was very disappointed to see those questions all thrown out in the sequel.

I get the feeling that the main outline for the plot was thrown together in a weekend, with no serious consideration of what had come before or what might come after. I feel I learned nothing about the past and wasn't given any reason to care about the future.

In politics or movies or anything else, don't step up for leadership if you don't have a vision. The director let his team down.… Expand

It's main strenghts are having some really good performances (Adam Driver & Mark Hamill) and a nice OST but it's very weak in every other department and only superior to Phantom Menace in acting and special effects. Some people that like the movie and cannot accept a different opinion rely on the very poor argument of fans not embracing a fresh take on the SW universe and hating change. First of all, that's false when we think of beloved works like KOTOR or the smashing success of TFA & Rogue One. But even if you disregard questionable writing like Luke's backstory with Kylo Ren, Leia's use of the force and other qualms about continuity, the story is still a mess. The pacing is off and scenes seem padded out, the humor is often weak and doesn't land and ultimately very little of what happens feels earned:
*Snoke can do a skype call video chat between Kylo & Rey and perceive every bit of the former's inner struggles yet he fails to notice his murderous intent and a freaking lightsaber moving next to him. His death is also anticlimatic and nullifies any chance of ever seeing how The First Order came to be and what his connection to the Sith was, making the whole background of the conflict very sketchy.
*The praetorian red guards that are supposed to protect Snoke and hilariously adopt fighting stances at the drop of a coin fail to realize what's going on and do their work the ONE time that very thing is required from them.
*Finn's story ultimately does nothing for the overall plot and even what it does for HIM was already established in TFA. Rose's romance with him feels contrived and underdeveloped. This is the one point that even positive and negative reviews agree upon and it's a considerable chunk of the movie.
*Poe's arc is all over the place and unnecessary. Vice Admiral Holdo is a character that is written and performed in a very ambiguous manner just for the sake of a later plot-twist. *Rey and Kylo Ren's relationship over the course of the movie makes little sense considering what she already knows about him (having witnessed Han Solo's demise) and is only possible because of contrivances with the force and a flashback that does its best in writing Luke as an ****. Some of it even feels like it came right out of a Young Adult movie adaptation but with better actors.
*Benicio del Toro's DJ is protagonist of some of the most implausible sequences and outcomes.
*Anything I could say about Phasma would require more effort than what the writers actually did with her.

As stated in the beginning of this review, the movie not only barely works as a standalone but it also knowingly decides not to further develop many threads The Force Awakens started, making the previous chapter almost skippable (one example being the main plot of Luke going into exile but leaving a map to his location...but granted, that is a flaw that TLJ carries over from TFA). I could go on but at the end of the day anyone that loved the movie will fail to acknowledge most of its flaws as a big deal and those that thought it was horrible are already speaking their minds. Overall a HUGE disappointment.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I waited 2 days after watching the movie to write this as I didn't want to do it while I was so angry as I was back then. And that's why I give a 3 and not just a plain 0.

I will resume easily here what was the movie for me: a Star Wars fan since I came out from the cinema from seeing The Return of the Jedi:

What I liked from the film:
- Ren and Rey relationship
- Laser sable fight against the Red Shy Guys
- Luke, in general (Except the parts of milking the alien and similar forgettable ones)
- The unexpected twists (like killing Snoke or Luke not being there)
- In general, the last half an hour of the film

What I didn't like:
- All the rest

The best thing to say about the movie:
- Benicio del Toro

I mean, there was a moment while watching the movie when I realized that I wanted to see more about Benicio del Toro's character but not about Rose & Finn and their little running lambs, or Leia, or Poe, or the woman with Purple hair, not even about anything of what was happening to the rebels, a moment in which I realized that actually I just didn't care if Finn was going to kill itself to save the Rebellion.
It was on that moment when I was sure that something was very wrong with this movie, a feeling that I didn't have with episode VII, even when there were also some embarrassing moments in that movie like those with Han Solo, Chewie and the Alien Squids from Outer Space.

In The Force Awakens I found some things I didn't like, but the global result was more than OK.

Here, I found some things I like, but the global result is boredom and embarrassment (Look, an Unidentified Flying Leia !!)

Now I understand why JJ Abrahams ran away from this, Disney had taken over everything.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. - The Last Jedi is Rian Johnson losing a Senate seat in Alabama. Riding llamas through Las Vegas???
- Why is there a Hunger Games/Fantastic Beasts subplot AT ALL?? Does NOTHING for the story—the codebreaking sequence is literally totally ditched. Wasted, BORING 30 min. In the middle of a Star Wars movie.
- Rose is a terrible, useless, annoying character.
- Why do Finn and Rose go all the way across the galaxy for THE MASTER CODEBREAKER and then randomly get put in a cell with a perfectly good codebreaker who just happens to be waiting to escape when they need him? - Halfway through the movie I actually thought “I wonder if I’m going to watch this again.” I should *never* think that in a Star Wars film. I still can’t believe it crossed my mind. I LOVE Star Wars. I saw the Phantom Menace and the Force Awakens four times *each* in theaters. I am NOT a hard Star Wars critic.
- SO. MANY. BAD. JOKES.
- Bill Weasley is so freaking annoying.
- We both know the two characters with fake-out death scenes should have died or not had those fake-out death scenes.
- NO backstory on Snoke???? NOTHING on Rey’s parents?? These were major questions from TFA! Rey’s lineage was a MAJOR theme in TFA. No continuity with Abrams. Hopefully J.J. saves these in Episode IX.
- Also, I initially thought The Last Jedi was original. Upon further reflection, I’ve realized that he freaking copied and pasted almost every major plot point from Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. No idea what they’re going to do in Episode IX because The Force Awakens already stole everything from A New Hope.… Expand

But there were some thin plot threads that might have saved the series so I kept an open mind. No such luck!! This abomination is a deliberate insult to George Lucas and his millions of fans who came to identify with the larger than self issues and heroic sacrifices of his characters. It is a sign of the times, this movie is bad because our modern culture is bad. Shaming and destroying beloved characters, hollowing out the whole concept of the force and inappropriate humor all are designed to mask the thousand pound gorilla in the room- THERE IS NO STORY!!!! Shock and dismay is somehow supposed to replace plot and substance, and of course the kids will eat it up. Many of them have a fetish to cut down the previous generation and appropriate what was ours. The one overriding message of Disney Wars: The Snuff Film is that story doesn't matter, only theme park rides, toys and SJW agitprop. I blame the Lucas and Prequel haters. They couldn't handle an in depth story and wet their pj's over it. Now there is nothing left but a joke of a franchise lampooning itself while grinning like they won a Nobel prize. At least we get to see Kylo Ren on a bag of salad and a can of soup.......… Expand
