Its an OK/fine/little empty movie on its own but its greatest sin is diminishing the movies that came before it. Which is really the worst thing any Star Wars movie can do. Kudos to Mark Hamill for standing up and saying what many of us feel. "That was not our Luke Sky Walker and not our Star Wars."… Expand

Rian Johnson ruins Star Wars! Horrible movie, plot, and character development. Does nothing to answer questions from TFA. Makes Luke Skywalker a whiny coward. Kills off Luke in worst manner possible.

Instead of pushing characters into new and bold directions, it is just more of the same and some character-arcs seem to be copied and pasted from the last instalment. The Pacing and tone of the movie are all over the place, and hugely dramatic scenes with high stakes (or so the movie wants us to believe) are intercut with humorous bits of droid-shenanigans. Some of the characters start to behave erratically and the internal logic of the cinematic Star Wars universe is pushed to the sidelines in favor of cheap, but visually impressive crowd-pleasers. Yes, I'm talking about that one splitting scene that will cause every single person to ask "Why haven't they done that stuff in the old movies?".

With this being a second act of a trilogy, it plays much more like a third act and leaves little to nothing to do for the characters in the next film. The shadow of what this movie could have been looms heavy, and ultimately forces me to retitle it to "Episode VIII: The Wasted Potential".… Expand

Why are people so impressed by the visuals? Some of the effects were really good but there was a lot of *really bad* CGI.

The writing in this movie is horrible. I hope I will never see another movie by Rian Johnson. I now have zero respect for anything he does.

I think this is the worst Star Wars movie I have ever seen. I didn't think it was possible to be worse than 'Phantom Menace' or 'Attack of the Clones' but... Yes, if I were forced to pick one of the three to watch, it would never be this one.

I'm not a fan-boy. Number of theories I had going into this movie: zero. Number of "Star Wars" books I have read: zero. My interest in the 'expanded universe': zero. All I wanted to see was a good movie. Instead, I got this terrible tripe that has far too many flaws to even bother listing, here.… Expand

Say what you will about the prequels, but this (and also the Force Awakens) lack the tone and feel of what we have come to expect from a star wars film. While it is oftentimes a good thing for a director to take us in a new direction, Rian Johnson has demonstrated a lack of a fundamental understanding of any of the preceding material. Had Rian Johnson spent more time developing a plot, rather than "subverting our expectations", as approving critics would say, thereby creating a nonsensical dumpster fire of a story, writing Marvel-type jokes for otherwise serious scenes, and stuffing Disney's political agenda down our throats once again, perhaps this movie could have been mediocre. This movie deserves a zero rating because, with it, they have irreparably damaged the in-universe legacy of the original trilogy with a story that really makes no sense.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Instead of nit-picking everything wrong with The Last Jedi (of which there are many), let me share what I think is the main issue with both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.

In Episodes IV, V, VI, we quickly formed a strong bond with Luke, Han, and Leia. The character development was good and we actually cared about those characters. In extension, we came to care about R2-D2 and 3-CPO because of the excellent interaction they had with the other human characters. We cared about Chewbacca because of his interaction with Han. These were all characters that meant something to the viewer. This bond happened quickly, strongly, and stayed strong throughout the entire three episodes. Obe-Wan Kenobe and Yoda were mysterious, mystic, powerful characters that we yearned to know more about. They became more important as they interacted with the other characters - especially Luke. We grew to care about them as well. The main antagonist was mysterious, dark, evil, with just enough light within him to make the character very intriguing. We wanted to see how the fight between good and evil would turn out between the good characters we cared about and the powerful and evil Darth Vader and his troops. Fast forward to Episode VII. The writers had so little confidence in their abilities to produce new characters on the same level as Luke, Leia, and Han that they decided to actually bring back the old characters. And they ruined them in the process. They were not able to keep the magic that those characters brought in the first place. Their characters were largely wasted - especially Luke who was not only wasted but disrespectfully trashed. R2-D2 and 3-CPO have basically been forgotten in the recent episodes. They cannot be the same without their interactions with Luke and other main characters. Even Chewbacca cannot be close to the same with his great interactions with Han.

The main problem for director Abrams in Episode IX is that there are no characters left that viewers are really connected to. Rey, Finn, and Poe have been so poorly developed that they are but a fraction of what Luke, Han, and Leia were. The viewers are so disconnected from them that many don't even care if they live or die. The emotional attachment just isn't on the same level as with Luke, Leia, and Han. The antagonist, Snoke, - who was killed off in the most laughably ridiculous manner - was never a menacing character anyway. He was certainly no Darth Vader. Kylo Ren - is played well by Adam Driver - is likely the best character in the new generation. However, he, too, is no Darth Vader. This is not the same level of doom and foreboding. So, how does director Abrams make a compelling episode IX? The sad answer is . . . he doesn't. There is no way that Episode IX can work because the proper development of the characters and story never occurred in the previous two episodes leading up to it. And that is the main problem that will likely doom these three episodes as failures.… Expand

All the elements that were built up in the previous movie were discarded in very unsatisfying manners. There are several very large plot holes and even little actions throughout the movie have terrible motivation--even the basic science of the universe is discarded. On the plus side, the actors playing Rey and Kylo continue to show that they are phenomenal actors and they actually have some interesting interactions in this show. That's the part everyone likes. But the movie overall was so destructive we would be better of if it had not been created because it changes the universe to make existing movies worse. I'd say it's as bad as or worse than the prequels in that regard.

Score: awful. Not only is it not a good movie, it actively makes our world worse.… Expand

There are always differences of opinion depending on what you want out of a movie, but watching people write about how they convinced themselves this movie succeeded in any way has been outside the normal range. It’s a little bizarre honestly, and fairly excruciating to listen to the phrases being turned to try to explain how this film wasn’t a failure. It wasn’t even impressively bad, it’s just boring and mediocre and uncomfortable. Be honest people, this doesn’t “turn the franchise on its head” or any other stupid euphemism, it’s an insecure and cynical mess that confuses self-ridicule with innovation and tries to be non-formulaic by setting up suggestive premises and then going nowhere with them. It’s like the creators are constantly daring the audience to care about where things are going and seeing how many times they can make you think this movie will eventually go anywhere before you just give up and start zoning out on special FX. Even the parts that deserve some appreciation don’t work well. The sequence on the Las Vegas-style resort world, notwithstanding that it’s completely superfluous to the plot, points out that many people are profiting from the war by selling arms to both sides. I appreciate that the story went out of its way to make that point, but if you are going to use fantasy to provide insight into reality, don’t do it by trying to out-realize reality. If I want to see war profiteering, I’ll just watch the news. This would not have been a hard movie to get right, but instead of the characters evolving naturally they just get repeatedly slammed through these disjointed scenarios ostensibly written to convince you that this isn’t “the same old Star Wars”. I was not a big Force Awakens fan and I don’t want the same old Star Wars, but this movie feels like being in a room full of friends that have lost interest in each other and are killing time by self-consciously making fun of themselves for trying too hard. The prequel trilogy was amateurish, but at least it had a plot and believed in where it was going. This movie might be the biggest flop of the bunch. Hey, sometimes your college try just doesn’t land and you get a real stinker. Life goes on, just stop with this weird insistence that this movie somehow accomplished anything beyond set design.… Expand

This once again did not follow the canon of the books and the EU which needs to happen. The books are great and it's what the real fans want. The new fans will then also see how great the books are and it will encourage more reading of the EU.

I have enjoyed Rogue One, The Force Awakens, and I hope to enjoy the Solo movie as well from the reboots, but this movie is beyond saving.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, so some people claim, that "Star Wars" fans are outraged because they had too high expectations. No. NO! Please show this movie to anyone who never cared about Star Wars, never watched it, and trust me. they gonna say the same. Let's look at it as "a movie", not Star Wars. First..the plotline is just a mess. The whole "find the codebreaker" is a filler. They didn't need to leave, they didn't need to come back, none of that was necessary, they accomplished nothing. Second, it's boring. They recycle a lot of monologues and just a lot of meaningless and shallow conversations. There are lots of cool special effects, but none of them stands out to be any better than all the sci-fi movies in the past 10 years already done. 3Rd. Shallow and make people feel empty. The movie has so many missed opportunities and lacking any character development. Example: Who is Snokes? Where did he come from, how come he is so powerful? He basically exists as a filler to have someone more evil than Kylo Ren, but have no other role. The girl Jedi- if you can call it a jedi, has no training, and all she does is lifts some stones, talks to Kylo Ren via telepathy and she almost gets killed by some guards while fighting with a lightsaber. There is no demonstration of the force in this movie. Kylo Ren character is more like a misguided teen seeking stupid revenge, but doesn't feel like some powerful villain. There is nothing scary about that guy and he looks like he's gonna cry any minute, every time the camera is on him. So , in a nutshell, I was disappointed and felt empty at the end. That's it? The whole movie felt like a family feud and with all the starships and characters, it's like 40 vs 40 people, but the galaxy is fine, nobody cares, let them duke it out, but essentially they are insignificant. There is no galaxy-wide problem with this, as I said, a family feud.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Whoever made this movie needs to be drawn and quartered. I did not like the cookie cutter story line. 1. It was so perfectly cut that one could cleanly remove a part of the movie and it wouldn't impact the movie in any way.

2. Too easy to figure out the outcome of the story.

3. The animals in this movie have absolutely nothing on the Ewoks or even R2D2 for that matter.

4. The movie does an overall horrible job at showing enough variety of the Star Wars Universe.

5. The movie acts like it's 5 years after the Force Awakens but it's clearly literally a day after The Force Awakens. It leaves the audience absolutely zero sense of awareness of what time it is in this story line. They're just making this stuff as they go it seems...



Finally #6. The training of Rey is 100% Unbelievable, she reaches the level of Jedi Knight with absolutely no effort compared to "all" of the previous movies.

Makes no sense at all in this movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is a **** insult to all star wars fans. You get over 150 min of pure, pointless nonsense. If this was running on tv and didn't had the Star Wars name, you would turn this **** off after 20 min tops. Because it's just filler, disneyfied to an extend thats even insulting for actual Disney movies.

The story was almost completely predictable and filled with bull****. For me as a imperial fan, this was just more than 150min of pure agony. And even my rebel buddy sitting next to me was facepalming every few minutes, only interupted by starring in disbelief at the screen.

But let's talk about a few points of this movie that were just complete crap. 5000 characters are not enough to describe the mess. 500000 would even barely be enough.

At the beginning it's said that the first order has nearly wiped out all of the resistance. And then shortly before they can deal the deceisive blow, all officers go suddenly braindead. Allowing a single **** fighter to disable the 2. most powerful ship of the order singlehandedly. And then a few bombers come and destroy it..... While every other ship of the fleet is watching......and no more fighters are deployed....and nobody is firing at the rebels anymore.....and somebody forgot to bring an interdictor cruiser.....

The first order then tails the fleeing rebels and manages to detet them falling from hyperspace. The rebels can only run, since their fuel is almost depleted and they almost get wiped out by enemy fighters. Instead of finishing them off, the order decided to follow them.....without sending additional fighter to attack them....and waiting for them to run out of fuel....and without calling in reinforcements to block their escape route......

And when they finally were about to destroy the last rebel ship and end the rebellion, guess who pulls out a super weapon out of their asses? And it's a weapon they could have come up with centuries ago.....

Seriously, this movie is almost on level with episode 2. Go spend your hard earned money on a pizza. Or a handjob from a crack whore. In both cases more satisfying experiences than this gigantic pile of disney ****… Expand

Come spesso capita i voti dei media, delle testate giornalistiche, nulla hanno a che vedere con il reale valore del prodotto.
Purtroppo ormai siamo di fronte a delle scopiazzature mal riuscite dei primi film.
Male male male.

Every man in this movie is a whiny, **** baby and every woman is an over-powered, condescending, egotistical, Mary Sue. This movie reeks of political messages and shameless misandry. The writers of this movie completely butcher any and all Star wars canon to the point of utter irrelevancy; in no way does this movie deserve to be a Star Wars movie, much less a sci-fi B-movie. Save your hard-earned money, do not watch this movie in theaters, do not rent this movie later, pirate this piece of s**t so not a dime goes to the creators of this abhorrent, insulting, revolting, pile of trash.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How can this movie have a score of 86?

What I liked: great CGI

What I hated:
- Overpowered SJW Rey, being able to lift huge ass rocks after like 3 days of training
- Killing the only respectale villain snoke
- Killing Luke "WASTED"
- BAD humor (is it a Marvel movie?)
- irrelevant storylines (for example Casino scenes)
- Leia reviving and flying through space
- the whole first order, which can not be taken seriously anymore
- the fact that the galaxy is giving no fcks about the conflict first order vs "rebels"
- kylo ren being a whiny Baby
- the fact that all beloved characters of the original triology (Han, Luke) are randomly killed for obviously no relevant reason, so that These badly written new characters get at least some relevance. ESPECIALLY KILLING ADMIRAL ACKBAR!

in conclusion: this whole movie has been a waste of potential and really disappointed me.

I dont know how Star Wars 8 can have such high scores, because obviously SO MANY PEOPLE HATE IT

DISNEY you are ruining the Franchise!! STOP, please!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not Star Wars anymore. Is only a "tribute film" made to win money because it says "Star Wars" on the titles... The new "story" is pure garbage with no creativity and plot holes everywhere. It have no sense.
Star Wars is not a movie that you need to see it twice so you can understan it.
The only good thing is that John Williams is behind the music and you can feel that Star Wars essence that also was missing on Episode VII. BUT THATS ALL!!! Its like a slap on the face to Star Wars fans...
The scene of Luke throwing the lightsaber over his shoulder feels like the way Disney sees the complete saga and George Lucas's story.

They can do a lot of spin-off movies using ideas taken from the expand univers like "SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE" and with that build a great story like they do with "ROGUE ONE". But no by taking the story of six movies and throwing it to the garbage traying to do "something new" for the new generations...

As a woman, I want realistic female characters who are challenged, tempted, mistaken, devastated - and grow as a result. What message does this send to kids? It's okay for boys to make mistakes and learn from failure - but only perfect girls are worthy of portrayal? Women are only there to redirect men, clean up their messes, and make up for men's failings? Come on, Disney.… Expand

However, it is a Star Wars film which means it needs to be viewed in the context as it being a successor to previous Star Wars films. One must consider how it fits in with the greater fabric of the Star Wars Universe and how it takes the ideas, characters, and places from previous movies and creates something fresh and original while still providing that majestic and hopeful experience that we know as Star Wars.

In the case of this utter atrocity of cinema, the creators have utterly failed in that and I am very, very disappointed. This movie has the unfortunate effect of being more and more insulting the more you love Star Wars and I truly do love Star Wars. I've watched all the movies save episode 1 more times than I can count. When the expanded universe was still a thing I used to read every single book, some many, many times. And while I was sad when "The Force Awakens" removed all those books from canon, I was still excited to see where they would bring the series. I was still filled with the thrill of hope and amazement when I saw Episode 7 in theaters. It may have suffered from a lack of originality but it didn't suffer from a lack of hope. It didn't suffer from a lack of Star Wars.

With the Last Jedi, all my hope and excitement is gone. This movie is just such a slap in the face to people who really loved all of the previous Star Wars films. The film is such a mess of plot holes, utterly pointless scenes, and blatant contradictions that I quite frankly don't even know where to begin when it comes to criticizing this film. It simply does not suffice to talk about the problems with particular bits or scenes of the movie when the problems are so fundamental to the direction and writing of this film as a whole. The only bit of this movie I can really praise is the marvelous score by John Williams. The rest of it, from the characters to the places and plot points was terrible. Characters were static caricatures of themselves and the film's treatment of its minority cast members nearly offensive in its tastelessness at certain points.

I went into this film with such high hopes and I walked out very disappointed indeed. I wish I could say I still have high hopes for the future of Star Wars but this movie was incredibly effective in its effort to utterly stamp them out of my very soul.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are so many problems and disappointments with the Last Jedi that there isn't enough space to write. However, I will try to focus on most obvious. The movie was awful from a plot basis and understanding of the lore, mythology and history of Star Wars canon. It's as if Johnson never viewed the previous 6 movies or read any of the novels or Star Wars myths. Here are the central problems:
1. Luke Skywalker was willing to die in ROTJ to turn his father to the light side. So powerful and good was he that Darth Vader, who had killed Jedi students, turned to the light and destroyed the Sith, bringing balance to the force. The only Jedi left to continue this religion was Luke. Apparently, we learn in TFA, that Ben Solo turned on Luke because of a dark side master, Snoke. We don't know how Snoke rose, whether he is a Sith, just a bad guy, whatever. And it appears with his baseless death that we never will. If you thought Snoke might be Plagueis or something more interesting or thought you would learn more about the religion of the Sith and Jedi you will be very humiliated. In fact, here's what you learn. Snoke is a weak nobody who is easily killed by Kylo without even a confrontation. Basically, Snoke tells Kylo to complete his training and kill Rey and then Kylo uses the force to turn a light saber sitting next to Snoke through his side. What makes this scene so stupid is that moments before his death, Snoke is throwing Rey all over the room like a gorilla could do to a cat. And after briefly striking Kylo with lighting earlier in the film, Snoke apparently can do everything but use his peripheral vision to see a light saber clearly moving next to his side. Did anyone review this movie before its release? Then, Rey's parents are drunks who have no power. And Luke...oh God, Luke Skywalker...perhaps the greatest Jedi of all, milks and alien and drinks the milk like a homeless man. He has no power and is easily dispensed of by Rey, who has as much training with the force as you and I do...and then in the climactic scene in the movie...Luke dies at the hands of exhaustion from using a hologram of himself to fight Ren. Think you've heard enough...hang on...the force ghost of Yoda appears to Luke--he looks like Kermit the Frog...and he burns the Jedi teachings and says about the Jedi books--and I'm not kidding here--"they are not exactly page turners..." Then, after Yoda uses forces lighting to burn the Jedi teachings he laughs hysterically." Clearly, in death, Yoda is not the same 900 year old Jedi who tells Luke that he's trained Jedi for 800 years and knows better than he...My God. This is just the surface. Leia, the only really dead person in the movie, survives, which means we all know her fate already in 9. And there is a scene where she is blown from a ship and uses the force to fly back to the ship like Marry Poppins! All she needed was the umbrella...And finally, the political agenda stuff is so thrown in your face you feel like you're watching MSNBC. And, I'm a progressive. It was just too obvious. The myth of the Jedi and Sith is dead. The characters we thought we knew are destroyed and in one movie the only story we have left to tell is of a petulant, cry-baby, impulsive loser, Kylo Ren. Star Wars has ended. And it was clearly intentional.… Expand

I did not like. It does not look like a Star Wars movie. Many things do not match the saga.

Luke at the beginning of the film, with all due respect, looks like a loser!

Rey's "training" was ridiculous.

In addition, the film does not seem to make much sense. (My vision)

Things that never happen, happen in the movie and without any explanation.

Simply read Levite in space. Luke creates a homogram for you.

Did not like.

The supreme lord dies of **** It is unbelievable that the "lord of evil" dies with a lightsaber at his side, not realizing that he will be activated and simply dies.

How can the "villain" of the movie die like this? No explanation of where he came and dying roughly.

If you are a fan, go watch and draw your own conclusions.

Personally, I did not like it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've never been a big star wars fan. I watched the movies cause there were entertaining and the light-saber & space battle were cool. But this movie is beyond bad ! Seeing Chewbacca having some thought about becoming a vegan even if he is a 200 years old alien beast, should just convince you how much this movie is crap.

Rey is useless, her story pointless. Same for Snoke, same for everything and everyone...

I think that people putting good score on this movie are the same people that try to convince themselves that modern art is actually art... It's pathetic !

This movie is pure sh*t, the actors don't even try to be credible because they know the plot of that new Disney trilogy don't make any sens.

It is a long boring slog where they try to be unexpected but this just means there is no emotional payoff for anything that happens. It is also all over the place. In one scene a character sacrifices herself and this is meant to be nobel but then only a little while later another character does the same and it is show as foolish. They build up the big bad then kill him before he does anything. They have a scene about the mystery of Rey's parents then reveal who her parents are doesn't matter. The romance between Rey and Finn is established in the first movie but they have barely any interaction in this one and Finn meets someone new. Star Wars was so captivating because it was a fairy tale set in space about a white knight saving a princess from a black knight in a castle. It was a story about morality.

Probably with the writers' apparent attempt to cramp three movies into one. The Star Wars style of narration still remains a poor fit for rabid modern hollywood pacing. The series is filled with characters and moments that fell short because they just did not have the time to develop. Many scenes required an involvement of the viewer that wasn't there, because the movie never established any meaning for them. They only leave eyes rolling back so hard you can hear it in the audience room. Another fatal flaw with the same result was the overuse of story twists and turnarounds, whose painful predictability completely negates the tension that should have been built.

In this atmosphere, the writers' apparent urge to deliver references to previous Star Wars titles does work out as the loving innuendoes they may have been intended as, but appear as shoehorned in, or as uninspired copies.

And these are far and away not the only things that tore me out of any potential immersion. There are all the usual urges to create big moments that just don't seem to fit and leave a bad aftertaste. There is the pop philosophy tuned to 11, complete with terrible visual metaphors. There is the usual "incompetence as a plot device" in laughable proportions, both with allegedly wise men and basic military protocols (say, how to secure a capital ship).

In the end they somehow managed to cramp material that would have needed 8:00 hours to work out into 2:30h, and still have unbearable lengths in it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All the critics must be paid by Disney. And the positive reviews must be from bots
This movie was terrible. It had cool visuals but that's all. The worst part was Luke's character, he was not a hero or evil, either of those would have been better. He was nothing, the legend of Luke Skywalker was apocryphal, he created Kylo then refused to help fix the problems he created. The man that saw good in Vader would think of killing a teenager, impossible. Even at the end he did nothing. They dishonored the hero we grew up loving. Beyond ruining Luke, many gaping plot holes. Fin's role was pointless and caused hundreds of rebels to die. Snoke and Phasma were weak and went down like Jawas. Kylo's turn to the dark side was based on a misunderstanding. Flying Leia was moronic. Why not tell Poe the plan and save hundreds of lives? Why didn't a star destroyer cut off the rebels ship? No lightsaber duels!!!!! BB-8 can't be the solution to every problem(In the AT-ST, get's the ship, stops the prison guards...). Why didn't the laws of physics apply to Rose's ship. Fin is heading straight at full speed, she turns and comes at him from the side, and dooms everyone and stops him for actually helping the rebellion. If Yoda can affect the physical world with lightning, why isn't he helping the rebels?
Rey going down the dark side pit, we learned nothing, it was pointless.
That's all I can remember at the moment.
Rey moving those rocks was cool(even though we never see her move anything prior to that, not sure when she developed that ability)

Only casual Star Wars fans and children could like this movie. If you are a serious Star Wars fan, you will hate it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly believe that those who actually like this movie, are only Star Wars movie "fans" because some of my friends who are true Star Wars fans that read comics, fan-fiction, books, or play the video games both past and current ones. This movie is honestly stupid, this movie makes me feel like Rian Johnson took the biggest, steaming pile of crap on Star Wars. I've been born into Star Wars, I know what I mean when I say this movie made Phantom Menace look like Empire Strikes Back. The Last Jedi did nothing to progress the story, answer any questions that were made by The Force Awakens, Rian Johnson dropped the ball on this one, and Disney let it happen. It was the stupidest move to avoid the death of Leia when Carrie Fisher (God rest her soul) is not able to play the part. There was no connection between the Luke Skywalker from episode VI (when Luke is the mature hero we love and grow up to be) and this Luke Skywalker that is a bitter, old man who doesn't give a crap about anything anymore, he just wants to die. Seriously??? The man, the hero, who saved his father from the dark side, who was willing to give up his life for his father, the one who sees the goodness in everyone, episode VIII was the worse interpretation of Luke Skywalker ever, to me it doesn't even seem like an interpretation of one of the Greatest heroes, but a parody. I grew up wanting to be like the real Luke, not this crapped on garbage. I believe that when Rey gave the lightsaber to Luke and he tossed it aside, that's exactly what Rian did as JJ Abrams gave him the formula for a great Star Wars movie. The sadness and anger that took over me when my hero became one with the force, you cannot, I repeat CANNOT, put so much hype into Luke only to kill him off because he was using too much of his Force Power, seriously no, that's not the way it works. You CANNOT simply destroy the stories of the characters because 'you feel like it', that is what Rian Johnson, did with Finn, with Poe, with Leia, with Luke, with SNOKE!, with Luke's old lightsaber. You have failed Rian Johnson, you have betrayed us all. You deserve all this backlash for your poor work. I really wish people understand what the problems are with this movie because they took a franchise that was beautifully made and written, the franchise that changed pop culture, and just took a massive dump on it, forget Phantom Menace, this movie sucked more than that!!… Expand

However, the Last Jedi is brought down by poor pacing issues and conflicting themes. The movie is ambitious but fails to juggle all the plot points and partially omits what The Force Awakens has already established such as the Knights of Ren. Humour is a huge part of Star Wars but the Last Jedi places so many that you can no longer take the scenes that were supposed to be filled with tension and emotion seriously. In other words, they were replacing cheap laughs and chuckles instead of a powerful, moving scene. There were glimpses of greatness but the bloated nature of movie stops it from surpassing its predecessors.… Expand

Without the Star Wars name this movie would have been trashed by critics. The whole movie is a bunch of cliches strung together to create a plot with entirely too many holes. The characters were flat and dull. The actors performances were a mess which I will attribute to either the director or editor. Oscar Issac is a phenomenal actor, but his performance in this reminded me of a high school student making a demo reel. There is absolutely no point of Rey's character in this movie. The movie supposedly takes place over the course of 6 hours, but so much happens in those six hours that it completely broke the immersion for me. Due to spoilers I won't describe it, but something similar would be a person from Boston travelling to Miami hanging and making acquaintances than coming back to Boston for dinner the same day. There were no true villains in this movie and the one could-be villain has his back-story and motivations completely rendered useless because of lazy writing. Rogue One was quite possibly the best Star Wars movie ever made and they follow it up with this extra long garbage. The Force Awakens was another bad movie, but not as bad as this. Star Wars went from a "see on opening night" to "see later in its run" due to Force Awakens, but now after The Last Jedi Star Wars went from "see later in its run" to "pirate after DVD release". Everyone should be ashamed of making this movie and everyone should be ashamed they rated it high due to nostalgia alone. Utterly useless movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:
Only reason I scored this a 2 instead of a 0 is that I generally thought the acting, special effects, and music were good.

That's basically it though.
Cons:
1. Finn was a main character in Force Awakens. Instead if developing him, they make him play second fiddle to a new character, Rose Tico, who feels completely forced into the story. Their adventure is a completely unnecessary deviation, and very cringe-worthy in terms of how poorly it was thought out.

2. Rose Tico. I have nothing against this character at all. In fact, she's a good character. But she shouldn't have been in this movie. Introducing her and having her steal screentime from Finn and literally bully herself into the story was difficult to watch. I would have loved seeing her in a movie where she was the main character, but apparently Disney is so pathetic they are incapable of making new stories in the Star Wars universe.

3. Captain Phasma. Probably the lamest villain ever created. She got her butt kicked in Force Awakens, then is defeated easily again in this movie. We never see her win a battle. Cool armor wasted.

4. The Holdo/ Poe Dameron conflict. Incredibly dumb. Holdo, for no reason at all, refuses to share her plan with her scared, confused, desperate crew, resaulting in disaster. Yet we are supposed to see her as a hero when ...

5. Warpspeed kamikaze. Let's see how much lore we can ruin with this movie. All those space battles you've been enjoying? They could have just warped at their enemies. In fact, they could have done that right away in the movie. Awful.

6. Luke's death. He astral projects himself. Ok cool. He made Kylo Ren look like a tool, which was great. Aaaaaaand he's dead. Wtf. No reason for it. I guess he over exerted himself so the rebels wouldn't have to break into a light jog while fleeing. I'd be fine with him dying, but that was just about the dumbest way to go about it ever thought up.

7. Bad writing everywhere. #6 Luke gives a whole speech to Leia about how he can't spare Kylo right before fighting him, which DOES NOT MAKE SENSE considering it wasn't even a real fight. Literally just an obvious mistake by the awful person in charge of this film.

8. Rion Johnson. I already didn't like his movies. Looper was some of the poorest writing I'd ever seen. Wasn't a surprise to me when he completely botched the story to try and focus on visuals, other things where he could say "hey look at what a crafty director I am" that made no sense in Star Wars.

9. Disney. Shame on your company for doing this to Star Wars. Shame on you for not coming up with original stories, and not caring about ruining classic characters.

You'll notice I didn't mention anything such as "SJWs" or "Superman Leia" because honestly they were not problems. The problems were awful writing and lack of care about Star Wars and the universe George Lucas created.… Expand

They are fundamentally very similar. Both science fiction fantasies suffer from static characters meandering through uninteresting storylines encumbered by numerous plot holes that are surpassed only by the sheer amount of absolutely stunning visuals that the producers were hoping would be enough to supersede the complete lack of cinematic substance. One of these films will be remembered for all time. The other would be forgotten weeks after its release. One of these films made profitable gains after one week. The other was a financial disaster. One of them is preceded in its title by Star Wars. And that’s the only real difference.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi is a disappointing film. The movie was still somewhat entertaining, carried by Adam Driver's incredible performance as Kylo Ren, but it left a lot to be desired. Plot holes, poor dialogue, incohesive story - this is a bad movie on a more fundamental level, in addition to being a huge disappointment as far as Star Wars fandom. It's almost as if The Force Awakens doesn't even exist - The Last Jedi did little to nothing to develop any of the new triology's characters. Some of the scenes ("Carrie Poppins" floating through space) and dialogue exchanges (Rose to Finn after saving him) were more cringe-inducing than anything I saw in the prequels, which I didn't even think was possible. The bar for this movie was not that high, but unfortunately Rian Johnson and co did not meet it, and it's a damn shame.… Expand

The bloated cast of uninspired new characters, coupled with the nonsensical portrayals of Luke and Leia drove a plot that lacked direction and was at times, baffling to watch unfold. The writing team failed to exhibit even a basic comprehension of the lore of Star Wars and the overuse of awkward, ham-fisted humour greatly detracted from my immersion and belied the supposed 'dark' tone the film was attempting to convey. All in all, while there were some entertaining action set pieces, the story decisions made in this film are baffling and have severely hamstrung J.J.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The way they made this movie made me so mad, especially on how they devolved this movie with poor subplots that made little meaning, and to many underdeveloped characters that make you care for the little about their characters, and finally on how they made of the legacy characters into a joke from the original series. NO!!! Too many unanswered questions that leave you to ask more question at the end of the movie. I'm sorry to say that I would not want to see another Star Wars movie again. This rating should have been a 0 but I do give a 1 because of Mark Hamill.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pontos negativos:
- Protagonizaram o Luke Skywalker à moda de um "bêbado falido de Wal Street, complexado pela culpa". Yoda também sofreu com a culpa pelo fracasso, e também se exilou, porém ele era um MESTRE JEDI, e na FORÇA ele viveu e aprendeu. Eu esperava o mesmo com o Luke.
- A Ray entrega o sabre-de-luz para o Luke e ele o arremessa? Ridículo! Isso demonstra que o "LUKE" da "NOVA VERSÂO DISNEY" não têm valores JEDI.
- O Luke se naga a ensiná-la, e não a ensina nada!
- Esperávamos (Sim, pois falo por muitos amigos fãs no Brasil) que o Luke demonstrasse a Sabedoria que somente um eremita na FORÇA poderia possuir. Esperávamos que ele se assemelhasse ao Mestre Yoda, testando a Ray e logo após treinando-a nos caminhos da Força.
- A morte do Luke foi péssima! Ele poderia sim ter morrido em um último esforço, porém que o seu pai, Obi Wan e Yoda estivessem ali ao seu lado, para levá-lo, para nos dar o sentimento de que o seu papel findou e fora um final glorioso, finalizando assim, a SAGA SKYWALKER para iniciar a nova história "Disney".
- A Princesa Leia estava limitada. Amargurada e cinzenta. Sem qualquer participação especial.
- O Snoke comparar o Kylo Ren ao Vader? Isso foi uma piada?
- O Snoke morreu de uma forma ridícula em vista do poder que possuía (ou que aparentava possuir).
- Repetitismo chato! Fugas e mais fugas... Visões conectadas e mais visões. - Se a Leia tinha domínio da força o suficiente para protagonizar aquela cena, porquê que ela não conseguia sequer levitar pedras?
- Canhão Protótipo da Estrela da Morte? Outra piada da Disney.
- Um filme longo demais para mostrar apenas: fugas, deserções, visões e o péssimo Luke da Disney.
- Só não classifico como ZERO porquê se trata de STAR WARS.
- O Luke deveria ter sido uma combinação de Yoda e Obi Wan. Aquele que treina a nova geração, a Ray no caso, e que responde ao chamado da Rebelião, findando a sua existência em um ato heróico, glorioso e sábio.
- Sabe o que teria sido muito legal? Mostrar o Templo Jedi original como ele é, e o treinamento da Ray nos caminhos da Força dentro do Templo. O treinamento de um Jedi nunca foi mostrado, apenas partes mesquinhas.
- Enfim, sigam esse conselho: REFAÇAM O FILME ANTES QUE O MUNDO PERCA OUTRO ATOR MARAVILHOSO!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll start with what I liked. The battle scenes were great. Lots of action and explosions. The opening bombing scene was tense and attention-grabbing. Watching Rey and Kylo Ren fight all of Snoke's bodyguards was awesome. Yoda's short appearance was spectacular - was a fun reminder of Luke's original training with him. Other than that, the movie was underwhelming and disappointing. They tried WAY too hard to insert dumb humor all over the movie, and it fell flat. It wasn't funny. They were stupid one-liners that honestly made me cringe. I can honestly say that at least Episodes I-III retained the same type of Star Wars tone that the original trilogy had. "The Last Jedi" completely threw out all remnants of the tone and culture of the original Star Wars trilogy. I honestly couldn't take the movie seriously because of how much humor they tried to insert. The sequence of Rey following around Luke had to be one of the dumbest things I've ever watched. And Mark Hamill is correct, they ruined Luke's character, and then to ice the cake, they killed him. Luke's character was incredibly boring, apathetic, and hopeless. He comes back at the end and helps the rebels escape, but it doesn't redeem his character. One little scene at the end cannot redeem how poorly they portrayed his character throughout the entire movie. If that's how you're going to portray one of the greatest Jedi Masters of all time, then just stop making the movies, because you're wasting everyone's time. Questions that have been left unanswered that make this whole trilogy bad: Who is Snoke and how did he come to power? How did the First Order come to power after Return of the Jedi? Who is Rey? How did the Republic become so weak and defenseless even after defeating the Empire? How did Leia not die, and how do you force-propel yourself through space while unconscious? There are so many more questions I could pose that poke so many holes through the plot and writing of The Last Jedi. Overall, the movie completely lost touch with what Star Wars is all about - the tone, the writing, the culture, the storylines, the structure, etc. The Last Jedi did not feel like a Star Wars movie, which if it's not going to, then why put the name "Star Wars" on it? The humor was ill-timed and ill-advised. The film dragged out for way too long. There were pointless scene-sequences and pointless characters. Ok, there are my thoughts. Bad movie.… Expand
