This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Leia floating thru space revived by The Force(TM) accelerating back to the ship, going thru an airlock that gets opend and she just falls to the floor getting medical help? WTF!!!
I am so happy I did not bring money to the cinema. I just went thru the last three money grabbing bs films on kInOx.To. Don't make the people anymore richer who buy IPs to rip open the consumers that are just wallets to them. Disney pissed on all that was good about Star Wars, which wasn't really that much, and now bring us Bomber in space that don't shoot rockets, but drop bombs on ships in space like in WWWII on a planet!!!
SW is SciFi-Fantasy, but a tiny rest of standard physics should be respected! The Force always was a very restricted tool and even Yoda could lift only so much, but this film broke everything. It left us with broken characters, story telling, laws of nature and good taste. Hollywood is a SJW mess now. ALL good characters are women and ALL a_s_s_h_o_l_e_s are male. And this white entitled female knows to use THE FORCE(TM) without any training. Of course she trains herself! A male trainer would also make the feminist audience this trash caters too go on a Twitter s_h_i_t_s_t_o_r_m spree and we don't want that!? NO.
Star Wars is long dead. Drop the IP and forget it. It's time!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Garbabe Disney money grab! Story is very lame. All the new characters are boring and uninteresting. Mark Hamil and Carrie Fisher (RIP) acting is so bad and i mean so bad. The big lead up/mystery of Snoke was a joke. He literally dies before anything interesting is revealed. Same goes for Rey's heritage. She's just a daughter of drunken parents that left her for booze money. Kylo is just a mental mess that needs anger management. There is nothing for this franchise to go forward. Basically Kylo wants to rule and Rey doesn't want him to rule. I will not watch another one.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Movie ratings are inherently subjective. You might agree on some points (cinematography) and disagree on others (plot, character motivation), but how those individual aspects weigh into the overall impression of a movie can be completely different from person to person.

Initially, I glossed over many things I didn't like about this movie, because of the few things that I did like. But the more time passes, the more those few things fall apart upon further scrutiny. One example with a little bit of added detail: I liked the way Snoke manipulated both Rey and Kylo through their force connection, which he himself orchestrated, and how he baited Rey to go into the belly of the beast. When she realizes that she was played, it's too late. So they are in this situation, in the throne room, how can it be resolved? I don't think there are a lot of options (Rey dies, or Kylo decides to save her and fight Snoke and they try to escape, etc.). What happens instead is that Kylo kills Snoke (this seemingly omnipotent and omniscient being) in a way that simply seems cheap given Snoke's previously established strength in the force. Rey and Kylo both got played and the consequence? Nothing. Encounters like this feel scripted to a point where all that counts are aesthetics and furthering a certain plot point. It doesn't matter that Snoke is extremely powerful and his plan succeded. What matters is Rey and Kylo, so everything else needs to fall in place, whether it makes sense or not. This was a recurring theme in the movie.

Liked:
- Yoda scene
- R2D2 playing the Leia clip to convince Luke
- Force connection scenes
- Cinematography
- Most of the principal acting
- Luke questioning the Jedi code
- A few other things that slip my mind

Disliked:
- Entire Canto Bight subplot
- The main plot which only served one purpose: adding a sense of urgency; but was devoid of logic in most parts
- Rey fighting off several Elite Praetorian Guards, having gotten almost zero training by Luke (yes, I only say that because I can't handle a female Jedi protagonist /s)
- Character motivations don't make sense
- Gaping plot holes
- Leia shoud've died or that scene never should've happened
- Irrational lines that are supposed to evoke emotions (Rose to Fin: "you win by saving who you love, not destroying what you hate"; just after you prevent him from saving what HE loves by sacrificing himself in what would've been a great arch for Fin; and btw, how? By crashing into him in high speed mere meters from the front line of the First Order, what? What?!)
- Space is not a vacuum (several instances of this)
- Luke, the dude who believed in the good in Vader and was willing to die for it, is going to kill a child (his only nephew) because of a premonition.... yea, either flesh that change in his character out properly with more backstory or something (I get that they tried to rationalize it by having him say that it was an instinctive moment which he immediately regretted, but at least for me, that didn't work)

For most of the time in this movie, I was just not invested in the story or the characters. Not because I didn't want to be (quite the opposite actually: I like the characters established in TFW) but because so much of what was happening just wasn't making any sense to me. And you start realizing: nothing matters, there is a starting place for a few characters and they need to end up at a particular place by the end, but how that happens, everyhing in between, is of minor importance.… Expand

In spite of some curious choices by R. Johnson and a completly useless subplot, what I believe to be the main problem is the complete lack of internal coherence within the (soon-to-be) new trilogy, as Ryan goes out of his way to reverse everything Abrams did, with sometimes complete disregard for the stories and characters presented in the previous movie, or even the logic of his own movie.… Expand

Bassically a combination of zero respect for preexisting fans or source material combined with a total lack of original ideas, good acting or decent writing. Throw in some very blatant political agendas (anti-Trump, radical feminism) and you have something that will retain its lukewarm appeal only as long as the sociopolitical agenda that drove it remains in play. Normally it would be hard to justify a zero rating for a movie (surely it has some jokes or action scene to give it a few points?) but in this case the deliberate effort to debase the characters, story and basic tone of the previous movies makes it more than suitable.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1) Kylo sucks, he's a cry baby of a villain not intimidating or respectable. He was defeated by the new Goddess of the saga, Rey. 2) Snoke sucks too, he got killed off by the cry boy Kylo Ren... So there are no respectable bad guys...
3) Leia can now fly?!?! Since when? She has ZERO training... 4) ALL male characters suck. I'm fine with Luke dying, but the way in which they did it and the way in which his character was represented is nothing short of DISGRACEFUL. He didn't even get his own Yoda moment when we were like WOW! This guy is actually a great warrior or anything.. Instead, we just saw him create an illusion and then dying off.. 5) Luke got beat up by Rey?!?! Seriously?! If Star Wars would've been respected at all Rey would've stood a snowball's chance in hell to even hit Luke at all. 6) Disney **** on the history and lore of star wars and disrespected us fans by portraying Luke like an idiot and killing him off like an idiot. F*** Disney, I'm done with them. Not a SINGLE dollar more I will give them.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Garbage movie! Very inconsistent with its own plot from the first movie much less the entire star wars lore. I am sure the director never heard of the star wars movies much less watched them. Next time you have a new director create a sequel, have them watch the previous movie and read up just a page or so on the lore. OR, get a few of the millions of fans to come in and give feedback on your plot line. Synopsys: Luke an old emo Grinch that has no real power and can’t see the good in people any longer; Leia is an immortal flying wizard super woman terminator; Rey is a force god (with two weeks of inexperience under her belt); Kylo is a barely force sensitive snot nosed millennial with daddy issues and a bad temper; the emperor really has no power and only serves to display a return of the jedi moment; the entire galaxy forgot about force field shields; there is now gravity in space; single fighters can take out entire giant battle ships (see shield reference); death star laser cannons can only make tiny holes in giant doors, ginormous ships can be taken out by ramming others ships into them (see shield reference again), the first order now controls the entire galaxy, the rebel alliance is only made up of a few hundred people.… Expand

I don’t need to rehash everything wrong with this, I slapped my head at least twice, and Rose....awful character. PC/SJW tones throughout, got it, super Leia...ok... But they completely trashed Luke. W...T...H. Did I just watch? The audience in the theater? Dead silent. They were as stunned as I was. The best part? When I could put on my jacket and leave.

But...I can fix this for you Disney. Are you ready???

The humour is forced and falls flat, completely missing the mark. I came away from this film feeling insulted and angry that such an incompetent director had been allowed free reign to create his own personal version of star wars. The fans are what have made the franchise so lucrative, and this is how Disney rewards them. George Lucas should never have sold out. So so sad. I will not be going to see any more Star Wars movies.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terrible movie, not just bad Star Wars, just a bad movie in general. To the point. Those comic relief moments, my God I died on the inside. I cringed so many times I started to nervously laugh and I was not the only one. People at the cinema were laughing in serious moments. Then I started to treat this film like a parody. Luke - they destroyed this character. Ok I understand that he felt bad for what happened, I can understand his bitterness but I thought he will be back in action. Nah, let’s make him look weak several times, then let’s make the audience believe that actually he’s back and will fight, but right away with a really ridiculous scene let’s destroy the hope. That „taking dirt of the shoulder” move made me really dead inside. Somebody watched Goldeneye scene with the tank when James Bond wrecks the city and afterwards adjusts his tie like a boss. It was cool, but it is not cool in Star Wars final battle for God’s sake, it’s cringe. The finale really makes me believe that Mark didn’t know what is going to happen with Luke, and that he hated the script. Rey - again she knows everything, Mary Sue style. I actually hoped she will turn to the dark side. It would save that movie for me, but well I don’t really care for her. Kylo - a little better than in TFA, I actually started to like this character. I also hoped that him turning back to the light side of the force is an option that would be quite cool. Imagine Kylo and Rey training together with Luke’s guidance to defeat Snoke. Not in my dreams.

Finn and Rose - what was that about? 45 minutes of an unnecessary plot with the casino that was not completely Star Wars vibe. And this message „capitalism and gambling is bad”. Seriously Disney? Hypocrisy is strong with you. The final battle…well done Rose, you almost destroyed the Resistance because you had a crush on Mr Useless Character. I laughed hard when she said this cringy line about love. Snoke - what a wasted potential. We still don’t know anything about him and that makes the whole film even more stupid. I don’t care if they explained in the new books. You won’t see my money. Leia - Mary Poppins scene was stupid looking and she lacked logic when being in charge. Poe - the only person that had guts but at the same time they made him look like irresponsible child that needs spanking from mama purple hair and mama Leia. Men suck, don’t we? BB-8 - loved him as before, but it’s really not enough to make me give a better rating Chewie - didn’t do anything basically, why is he even still around?

Resistance and First Order’s leaders - oh boy oh boy. Disney, you made them look like a bunch of kids. This purple hair lady was the worst SW character ever. And why was she wearing a ball gown? She should’ve been dressed in a black funeral dress, that would be adequate. Ah and now only women are in charge, yeah cool. First Order’s leaders also weak, noncharismatic. You remember Tarkin, Veers, Piett? I respected them even if they were the bad guys. Alliance’s generals Dodona, Riekaan, Maidine, Ackbar (why is he dead? Really?), Mon Mothma - all cool characters also developed in EU. I know it’s not the old trilogy, I know people need new things and we need to move on, but at least make them charismatic and strong. So yeah cool, because of your decisions Rebellion is like 10 people now. I cringed so hard and I just wanted them all die, didn’t care for them anymore. The whole space chase was the stupidest thing. I didn't know the shields on a capital ship are that strong lol, they've been firing all the time at it and it seemed that it was invulnerable, but earlier during the battle it wasn't? What about the fuel? Capital ships had reactors from what I remember. Oh what a bad luck that you ran out of gas. Jumping to hyperspace? Nah, they will track us. Why not jump closer to the planet, disembark on a smaller carriers set the autopilot or leave a frikkin droid to ram the star destroyer. I felt like watching Prometheus. I cringed because of crew's lack of common sense there too. So I guess I’m done with new Star Wars. Will watch Empire Strikes Back as an antidotum as I really feel bad after watching TLJ.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So we now have the home release for the last Jedi, interestingly this only hurts the film imo, in the cinema many people no doubt got caught up in the hype and visually the film delivers that classic star wars spectacle.

In the months since release this film has continued to divide opinion and some of the cast have caught some flak, which I think is uncalled for not only because it's morally indefensible but also because the cast imo, did a good job, In each case I am convinced that the actor on screen is portraying the character to the best of their ability, the writing and direction is what lets the film and the actors down, for that reason the 2 was given as the spectacle remained and the actors delivered their performances.

Rian Johnson wanted to "subvert" expectations and that he did unfortunately the expectation that was subverted was that this would be a good film.

At the most basic level there is 0 development from the prior film, snoke? X Rey's origin? X, Within the film itself we begin with rebels on the run and we end with rebels on the run, Rey is portrayed as some sort of force savant in the first film but unrefined, still unjustifiably gifted but raw, in this film we see no real training or development and yet she is incomprehensibly gifted, again we have a lack of development, Leia miraculously has force powers again when did that happen? luke has lost all faith in the teachings that led him to the redemption of his super evil father on some really flimsy justification, clearly characters can change but you have to show that change which wasn't done.

There are moments like the hypersapce ramming which are visually stunning but a few moments later you find yourself questioning hang on if you can do that and you have droid pilot systems why not create hyperspace missiles and just fire them at any target of a certain size? Luke claims he didn't wish to be found but left a map of how to find him? Finn and Rose needed a super hacker code breaker who could be found on a specific planet, don't find him but run into someone just as capable, The conceit of the chase is only one ship is tracking, well the rebels have multiple ships and based on Rose and Finn can dart back and forth with little issue why not slowly trickle people off the ships until all the bad guys are chasing is empty vessels? or why not load the people onto the other ships they started with and then ram your big ship into the tracking ship and hyperspace away. Similarly we have the justification Luke is disillusioned because of Kylo, what we are shown is Luke felt darkness in Kylo and immediately jumped to the kill option before regaining composure, but too late and Kylo sees the intent and events playout as shown, now knowing Luke risks his own life to redeem has father and masters his own emotions in the final showdown of ROTJ makes this whole sequence complete nonsense.

The take away point is the more you sit and think through this film the more you realise how absurd the points are and how badly it undermines certain in universe rules.

A lot was made of the representation of Male Vs Female etc. honestly those injections will certainly date this film as time goes on but ultimately it is not these inclusions that condemn this film.

Clearly some people disagree and are willing to overlook some pretty glaring plot holes, that is their prerogative, however if you want a film that is consistent and follows the internal logic of its' own universe then look elsewhere as this is not the film you are looking for.… Expand

It hurts to see your childhood heroes end up like thay did in this movie. Disney, just finish the trilogy and leave Star Wars alone to die in peace. You've made enough harm.

Subvert expectations is an excuse for gross negligence, perhaps even malicious intent. Jedi training matters, no one is born to the art and skill. Ancient Jedi teachings matter, wisdom matters, no knowledge should be burned. Murder is not the Jedi way, especially of unarmed individuals presumed guilty before innocent. Credible character arcs are born of flawed journeys. Giant characters built up over time should not be eliminated in ridiculous and implausible manners, without adequate back story and closure. I was emotionally detached from this mess, and retained no affinity or attraction. It is utterly unwatchable, even repulsive. I have never witnessed such a rabid and rapid destruction of a franchise. Subvert expectations indeed, the expectation that Star Wars is reborn or has a future.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So bad so sad.

It was all said before so i will just skim:
1- Bombs in space.
2- Hyperspace kamikaze move that basiclly negates any reason to build big warships in star wars univers since they can be hyper rammed
3- Rey who can beat everyone Luke included without any training,
4- Yoda as force ghost bringing lighting.The old geezer must have been napping in all the battle times when his side could really use some lightinings.
5- Destoying Luke Skywalker character
6 - Im normally far from SJW conspiracy theories, but here it was so blatant it smacked you in the face. Wise, heroic women and silly men.
7- The whole Empire ships pursuing Rebel ships in normal space and cant catch up.. What was that? So this huge empire fleet had not enough fighters/bombers to oblitarate the rebels?
It had no smaller escort ships to catch up?
9- The weird childish humour...
10- Snoke i barely knew you and you are already out..:). Seriously the super powerful evil mastermind killed that way?
the list could go on and on...

Basically there was a quote in the moive which said something like "To build a new world you have to burn the old one". I felt like it was what Rian And Kennedy vision for this movie:
Destroy all the symbols and continuity of the old serie so they can stuff their silliness.

Oh and also to all poeple saying " the old 30-40 years fan should stop crtisising this is new Star Wars".
Well done, mission partly accomplished in my case, im done with New Star Wars, Im not going to the next one.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not only The Last Jedi is a bad movie and by far the worst Star Wars, but it actually succeeded to make The Force Awakens even worse than I initially thought it was.

I tolerated the lack of ambition of episode 7, thinking it was just here to introduce a bunch of new characters and factions, but episode 8 just took a big dump on it, destroying all the potential of this new trilogy.

Unlike what I've read, there is nothing bold or brave in this movie, unless you think destroying this saga is a brave thing to do.

As most people here, I thought the writing was poor, the humour was stupid (and not in a good way), bad dynamic between the characters, the casino arc was childish, Luke, Snoke, Phasma and even Rey were wasted, etc... And what's up with people breathing in space like Rose's sister ?? No idea were this trainwreck of a trilogy is heading, but I honestly don't care anymore - I'm out.

These movies had so much potential because the Star Wars lore is so rich, and yet TLJ felt like any other sci-fi movie addressed to a generation of entitled kids that expect the own the whole world without any training or hard work.… Expand

The story is a mess, Rey plot was for nothing, Finn plot was for nothing, Poe plot was for nothing.
I wish to see a meaningful movie, but every theme in this movie is wortless, get to nowhere and is so meesy that even a child get a confused idea about it. Like for example, rich are bad, then why we do? Break the casino and terrorize them, and free the animals too, that sure will help.

Snoke, Chewbaca, Phasma, Ackbar, Hux, Poe and many other character were so useless in the movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If I ignore all the other Star Wars movies the plot of this movie is still contrived. The entire second act of the movie only happens as a result of using the "idiot plot" trope. The plot is not driven by characters motivations, instead bizarre scenarios are concocted solely to get characters to act in certain ways.

In the Context of the previous 7 movies this film makes even less sense. No context is given to explain how the characters we are supposed to relate to got themselves or the republic into this situation Episdoes I-VI are made irrelevant in the opening crawl "The FIRST ORDER reigns. Having decimated the peaceful Republic, Supreme Leader Snoke now deploys his merciless legions to seize military control of the galaxy." Episode VII turns out to be a giant Red Herring. Who is Snoke? Why did Lukes light saber reach out to Rey? Why did we hear Obi-Wans voice in Rey's force Dream? The entire plot of TFA revolved around a Map to Luke. Why did this map exist? Why did R2-D2 have half the map? Why did R2-D2 wake from his coma when Rey showed up? Apparently none of that mattered.

I understand making an attempt to subvert the audiences expectations but this movie just seemed to go out of its way to trash everything leading up to it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Se parece en mucho a Empire strike back's, solo que de fina principio, primero tenemos a Luke y a Rey en un planeta distante en una isla, donde Rey busca respuestas, Luke parece un anciano decepcionado de la vida y dese terminar con los Jedi, después vemos a la Rebelión sufrir muchas bajas y llegan a un planeta de sal donde hay una base rebelde que todo es muy similar a la batalla de Hoth, al final sobreviven muy pocos. Leia debió morir en el espacio y por la "fuerza" regresa del vacio del espacio a la nave y se convierte en la única sobreviviente de los altos mandos, ya que también muere el almirante Acbark, Luke muere de la forma mas extraña y sin sentido que eh visto, Phamas es un personaje extrañamente parecido a Boba Fett, es decir, es una inútil, que habla poco y tiene aspecto mas de Bounty hunter que de Stor trooper y también muere, Snoke es un CGI que también muere por Kylo Ren, el cual lo mata en 5 segundos y le ofrece a Rey se una a el para conquistar la galaxia (algo así como el ofrecimiento de Vader a Luke), Rey lo rechaza y Kylo toma el control del Firt order y orden matar a todos y a todo, sin dejar nada vivo. Por lo que me da la impresión de que Disney desea matar a todos los personajes clásicos para meter nuevos, seguramente por la edad de los actores. Considero que no es la forma de matar a los personajes, pudieron hacerlo mejor, toda la película tiene momentos de humor innecesarios, se deja en claro que los Skywalker ya no importan porque llega una nueva camada de héroes para venderte nuevas figuras de acción.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First the good - Rey and Kylo's scenes up until the predictable "join me and we'll rule the galaxy" and the predictable "no". Also, Rey's dark cave scene.

Now the bad, which completely overwhelmed the good scenes, starting from least important:

First, terrible humor right out of the gate (felt like a mediocre snl skit) - set a bad tone from the start. Second, the major reveals of how Kylo turned dark, and Rey's parentage, were completely underwhelming and contrived. Finally, the entire way of handling Luke was a travesty and I've only gotten more upset about it the more I've thought about it the past few days. Starting from his throwing away the lightsaber, to the weird (and again terrible humor) of the milking scene. And on to the rushed and contrived Kylo Ren turning bad story, and finally to the stupid hologram fight scene. And if all of those things weren't bad enough, they decide to go for the grand finale by killing Luke off in the least satisfying way possible. The only emotion I felt was anger towards Rian Johnson. The Luke in that movie was not the real Luke by any stretch of the imagination.

Rian Johnson wanted to be edgy by killing the past, but he killed off Star Wars completely. What I watched wasn't Star Wars, it was a mediocre film in some other galaxy. It's almost as if 'The Last Jedi' is a prequel to Johnson's upcoming non-skywalker trilogy.

I tolerated the Force Awakens because at least it felt like a Star Wars movie, but now I think this entire trilogy was a huge mistake. It's going to take a miraculous episode IX to save this mess.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Episode VIII: Revange für George Lucas

Wer die Episoden I bis III unübertrefflich furchtbar fand, wird nun eines Besseren belehrt. Episode VIII ist mindestens so übel die die Prequels. CGI-Snork: lächerlich. Rote Klapperpowerrangerninjas mit Elektropeitschen: unterster B-Movie-Style. Dialoge: atemberaubend dümmlich bis kitschig (der Schluss sieht aus wie ein Weihnachts-Heal-The-World-Musikvideo und vergleicht einen Besen mit einem Lichtschwert- "klasse" Anspielung auf das arme Star Wars Kid) und gespickt mit Zitaten der Episoden IV bis VI, als hätte während des Drehs jemand in regelmäßigen Abständen in einen Hut mit Zettelchen gegriffen, auf denen die OT-Sprüchlein standen, die es dann wie beim Impro-Theater galt sofort irgendwie einzubinden in den blutleeren Klamauk. Chewbacca (frisst ein Hähnchen und grummelt eines dieser Glotzviecher an), C-3PO (soll nicht 'so ein besorgtes Gesicht machen' -hahaha- und gibt wie immer fatale Wahrscheinlichkeiten zum besten), R2-D2 (piepst und projeziert mal wieder Leia in die Bude)... einfach mal aufs Tapet geworfen ohne Sinn oder irgendeine Emotion. BB2 steuert einen gedoptwirkend, laufsaurierartig rennenden AT-ST, der wie ein VW-Käfer passenderweise die komplette Karosserie verliert, um das Innere zu entblößen. Die Rebellen kämpfen mit dünnblechigen, verdecklosen, auseinanderfallenden Seifenkisten gegen verkrüppelte AT-AT-Verschandelungen. Dennoch hält eine hauchzarte Blechdose dem offenbar nur handwarm temperierten "Todesstern"-Wurstgeschütz-Strahl stand... Die "Handlung" scheint von einer untalentierten Schülergruppe auf sagenhafte ermüdende 2 1/2-Stunden zusammengestümpert zu sein unter Aufbringung aller denkbaren Steckungsmittel wie einer Stampede, Meerestiermilchmöpsen, einer Actiongame-Oma (Maz) oder einer Super-Leia als Zombie-Mary-Poppins. Dazu noch hier eine Verfolgungsjagd, da ein neu benötigter Schlüsselmeister, hier ein Lehrer, der nicht will... furchtbar. Der Falke massakriert ungehindert eine komplette Tie-Fighter-Rotte im Alleingang, ein einfacher X-Wing schießt einen ganzen Sternenzerstörer Stück für Stück zu Schrott beobachtet vom rothaarigen Vollhonk,der anschließend noch per Scherzanruf (!) veralbert wird, der neuerdings schlafende Neffen mördende, weinerliche, griesgrämige, Superfeigling Luke versteht sich auf nicht detektierbare Holografie und Rey und die hässliche Emofratze haben eine Telephatie-Skypenummer am Laufen. Im Weltall gibt's nun Schwerkraft für amtlich analoge Kugelbombenteppiche und der Hyperraumsprung als nichtbezwingbare Kamikazewaffe zum Zerstören beliebiger Raumschiffe wird just neu erfunden. Da ist keiner bisher drauf gekommen mal eben ein paar alte Schiffe auf die Gegner zu fliegen mit Autopilot und voll Stoff, soso. Männer sind durchweg Idionten, lilahaarige und hexennasige Scheusale sind weiblich und schlau. AUsnahme Rey: Mary Sue in Reinstform. Ein Farbiger, eine Asiatin, ein unrasierter Europäer, ein stotternder (!) Lando-Verräter, jede Menge unnütze Handlungsstränge und Nebenschauplätze, degenerierte Waffenhändler auf dem Casinoplaneten, amerikanische Namen, Bügeleisen in Startreklogo-Form, Snoke, Luke, Chromeimertrooperfrau: alle tot. Yoda wieder mal da, Imperium ist ein dumme Kaspertruppe und das ständige Hinterhergereise erinnert an Kampfstern Galaktika.Rogue One war mies, schlecht gestaltet und öde, Episode VII ging als dreist-satirische Zitate-Schleuder durch, aber Episode VIII hat sicher nur einen echten Gewinner hervorgebracht: George Lucas, der jetzt gewiss sein sein, dass es eben doch schlimmer kommen kann als bei seinen Prequels.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've had a good life. My parents loved me. I have a good job. My wife and kids treat me well...but I would trade it all if doing so meant that I could un-watch The Last Jedi.

History will probably remember this film as "The Star Wars with a reenactment of the O.J. Simpson chase as the main story". And that's if they're lucky.

I can't believe I'm typing this, but in the first 10 minutes of the film, the rebels successfully disable an enemy warship by flying straight up to it in an X-wing, calling the ship's captain directly - and being patched straight through to him, then feigning a bad audio connection to distract him while they blow up all the cannons on the deck. It's an astonishing early indication that Rian Johnson made this film using roughly the same process that a 7-year-old might use when he starts talking to other 7-year-olds without thinking about what he was going to say first.

For the next 2 hours and 32 minutes, the audience gets punched in the intellectual balls over, and over, and over again. Then the movie ends.

The budget was well spent on visual effects, but everything else about the movie from the script, to the plot itself, to the dozens of wildly useless scenes and characters was flat out stupefying.

So bad.… Expand

Nor did I like it very much. In my opinion, the core problem is that the film suffered from horrible writing. The overall plot was ridiculous and failed to produce any meaningful pay off at the end. The whole plot could have been avoided, if certain characters would have acted normally at certain plot points. This created unrealistic conflicts. The key characters had hardly any development during the film, while I was left with the feeling that deus ex machina was the favorite tool by the writer/director to solve conflicts. The main character, Rey, continued to be extremely badly written (but I did not have problems with Daisy's acting itself). While other two leads, Finn and Poe, were reduced to irrational characters in favor of several new characters that did not not add anything substantial to the story or to the setting. In addition, the Star Wars setting, that has been established rather comprehensively over several films, was forgotten as the writer/director needed to change the rules in order to write himself out of idiotic plot points (and still failed) or in an attempt to give the audience cheap gags. Star Wars always had humor, but it was mostly tied to the context of the scene and character interaction. While I could continue to write on and on about different problems I had with the film, suffice to say the it fails badly at three elements of good story telling - setting, characters and plot. This baffles me, as Disney seems to be able to pull off these things a lot better in their animations and even many of the Marvel films, but somehow fails so utterly when it comes Star Wars.… Expand

It's very questionableThis movie was awful, I am a star wars fan who watched and liked all the previous 6 movies and played games like star wars the knights of the old republic but even then I couldn't find myself liking this movie at all. It's very questionable when big actors like Mark Hamil have given up and are willing to admit it's basically crap but even just watching the angry joe review on youtube reveals several horrible problems with the movie. They have unlikeable characters shoe horned in like finn and rose who progress the story so little and have the typical relationship of true love in under 12 hours of knowing one another. There's problems for start to finish whether it's the sith becoming ever more encapsulated into stereotypical roles (like the sith apprentices becoming angsty and senseless, sweaty teens along with the old masters being ugly, old and decrepit megalomaniacs, both with no real logic or personality past being crazy selfish) or even the Jedi being short in number but having no interesting characters either. Luke is all over the place (no wonder Mark Hamil seemed depressed) and becomes an indecisive mess who does very little throughout the whole movie and pulls out one trick right at the end before disappearing. Rey has more skill and capability with no training than Luke ever did, random love scenes, terrible sub plots and sadly the direction of the movies leaves little hope for a quick resolution to all this. They have really run the old series through the mud with Luke being the polar opposite of what he should be, powers coming out of nowhere and being illogical and so many other issues. I am sad to say that even I (a complete shill who normally buys anything to support series he likes) won't be buying this movie when it comes out. Even phasma, Kylo Ren and Snoke have poor performances with nothing to lead you to care or want to see what happens next. I feel Disney have really upset the balance of the force here.… Expand

All the pretty visuals in the world still can't mask the piss-poor storyline, hateable new characters, obnoxious SJW propaganda, plot holes galore, and some downright bizarre decisions in pushing the lore forward in the most stupid way imaginable. Star Wars truly is dead, and Rey is still a perfect woman who don't need no man. What a joke.

It also shows that critics are just politically-motivated sell-outs that like anything that's "provocative" or "unpredictable" without thinking twice about the awful screenplay. Worse than the Star Wars Holiday Special, 'cause at least that was made with passion!… Expand

I've always loved the Star Wars movies, but this can barely call itself that. While the Force Awakens was by no means a great movie, it did set up some interesting plot and backstory questions moving forward. Then this movie came along and completely destroyed any hope this new trilogy had. It ruined the backstory questions surrounding both Rey and Snoke, though I can't say how or why without spoiling the movie. The Last Jedi succumbed to every bad trend developing in modern movies. Painfully awkward nonchalant humor? The Last Jedi has it. A useless story arc with a social justice message? The Last Jedi has it. While Daisy Ridley once again does a fine job in her role, John Boyega, Adam Driver, and just about everyone else deliver subpar performances. Neither Mark Hamill nor Carrie Fisher are anything to be amazed by in this movie, though they aren't as bad as some of their co-stars. The plot starts where the Force Awakens ended, which was in a decent place, and completely destroys everything about it. Story-wise I seriously don't know what they're going to do with the final episode. The writing seemed so unbelievably lazy that it could be considered borderline disrespectful. There were scenes that made me die a little inside at how either badly written or poorly executed they were, including a space scene in which something so unbelievably cringe-worthy and ridiculous happens that you want to get up and walk out of the movie (those who have seen it know what I'm talking about). The worst part to me is the fact that these movies aren't done like Star Wars movies anymore. The writers and directors seem to have no respect or care for the history of the saga and what its many elements mean. The way the characters use the force, pilot ships, and just generally act feels less and less like Star Wars every time one of these movies comes out. I would NOT recommend this film to anyone who values their money and time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been reading a lot about this movie since I saw it about 2 weeks ago. I avoided all the hype leading up to it and never managed to see it in theaters. I didn’t pay attention and didn’t even know that there was this whole back and forth about this movie with trolls, backlash, etc… and I certainly didn’t have a “fan theory” to apply to this movie. Oh, and I am not a bot or overzealous “fanboy” either.
I grew up on Star Wars original trilogy as a kid. My brother and I had (and loved) the Star Wars action figures and other toys, it was part of our world back then. I saw the prequel trilogy and was generally a bit disappointed, but now I see that everything, including disappointment, is relative. I actually liked more about Revenge of the Sith than I disliked. So, onto this movie: I hated it, flat-out. To me, it was a combination of cop-outs and cringeworthily moments. I’ve read a lot of reviews from professional movie critics and have seen the same thing over and over: something along the lines of “this movie bravely went in a new direction and did not feel ‘constrained’ by the past” . Pause right there: this is not a good thing in and of itself, especially when the tradition established by the prior movies create the coat-tails that this movie is riding on. It reminds me exactly of how I thought about Peter Jackson’s treatment of “The Hobbit” after he did such a good job overall with “Lord of the Rings”. Seeing the bar drop so low can make one with standards become very cynical. The fan reviews appear to be written, for the most part, by people who saw something that frustrated them so much that they felt compelled to vent about it, as the only avenue open to them. That’s where I stand, even knowing probably no one will read this. And, yes, I opened this account solely to write this one review for this one movie. Other reviewers blasted so many holes in the plot that I don’t feel the need to do a similar laundry-list of what is wrong with this movie, and honestly there are a few re-occurring complaints that I don’t find to be a problem.
Cop-outs:
Who was Snoke, where did he come from, why was he so powerful, how was he able to build the First order out of the defeated Empire. No explanation and no plausibility offered
How did the Rebel Alliance go from victor to diminished band of outlaws?
What is the backstory with Luke and Ben Solo? Too much is glossed over
It’s like the Rebel victory at Endor and Jakuu didn’t even happen. Kylo Ren: not a convincing villain at all, reminds me of Edward from Twilight Cringe-worthy moments:
Prank phone call from Po to Hux- this really set the bar so low right from the start…
Porgs.. and interaction with Chewbacca.. culminating in one of them wearing a ^&%$ porg-sized headset in the cockpit of Millennium Falcon The Rose character… out of place in the Star wars universe. Too preachy and naive and forced relationship with Finn (who I thought was supposed to be involved with Rey ?). Casino scenes. Over the top CGI characters plugging coins into BB8 lot a slot machine, then he (?) shoots them out like a machine gun at some guard Of course, princess Leia’s using the force to suck her back into the ship.. jeezus that was one of the worst moments in cinematic history right there. Re-hash of battle of Hoth : it had some good points, but too much like a re-occurring sequence from Empire Strikes back. At least there were no salt tuan-tuans… but the crystal coyotes of salt-world were one of those out-of-place childish elements that were used because, you know, we have CGI and can place anything in a movie. BB8 hot-wiring a scout walker on board Star Destroyer.
Rey not needing any real training to become bad-ass force user able to levitate rocks that Luke couldn’t even do.
Wasted scene with Rey going into hole on Luke’s planet wasted time where nothing profound is uncovered or learned.
The whole way Luke was. Obi-wan also “lost” Anakin to the dark side, but he wasn’t the same grouch that they turned Luke into. Agree with others that the whole idea of Luke leaving a map to his location is in direct contradiction to the way Luke was when he was found. The defenses of these departures from the established Star Wars universe have been described as “brave” or “visionary” or whatever by the professional critics I have read, but many other fans, think they suck. If the only measure of quality is if you go against all tradition and continuity that came before you, we could all write stories where water flows uphill and the critics would be singing our praises because we were so brave to go against tradition (and physics) and do something “new”. I’m glad that I don’t feel the need to be as attached to this as I did when I was young and impressionable, but Star Wars is now dead to me, I won’t bother with Episode 9.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disney did something even Lucas couldn't do and that is destroy Star Wars. Except for the original trilogy, I'm done with it. I guess if you could separate this from the rest of the Star Wars movies then this would be watchable but for those of us who have been in love with Star Wars since the first movie, this movie is an abomination. How does Rey know the force so well? How can you destroy a whole fleet of ships with warp drive? What point was there to the Asian and purple haired woman? Why didn't she just tell them their plan instead causes a mutiny? Why is Luke portrayed as such a defeated man? Isn't he supposed to be a Jedi? Who is Snoke? How did the defeated empire build a planet sized death-star? Why didn't Luke just fly to the battle instead of committing force suicide? None of this adds up. Whoever wrote and directed this pile of crap should be ashamed. The only thing that could possibly fix this is to take the movie back and start over.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is Spaceballs 2, not Star Wars: Episode VIII

Like someone else said (Hamill?), this is a space comedy for kids. I don't like it, but can understand why Disney think it would be a good idea. It's all about money in the end and they don't really care about us older Star Wars fans. I just don't get why they had to ruin all the SW lore of the previous movies, and why be so disrespectful about it? In many ways this movie is much worse than The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. They were at least made by the creator of the SW universe and even if it was targeted towards children, it was still felt like it took place in the same world. If you take away Jar Jar, some cheesy CGI and a few questionable ideas (Jango Fett clones), it's at least "Star Wars movies", even if I and many other Star Wars fans didn't like them.

I thought The Force Awakens was ok. Yes, it was basically a scene-by-scene remake of Episode 4, but it brought Star Wars back in a respectful way. I also enjoyed the great visual story telling by Abrahams and Mindel.
I really loved Rogue One. Sure, nostalgia had a lot to do with, but it was also respectful to the universe.

On a personal level I thought the slapstick comedy was awful, not to mention the casino scenes... The Empire acts like they are led by "Dark Helmet" in Spaceballs. Finn was a great character in TFA, but here they just throw all his character advancement away.
I feel really sorry for Boyega, Fisher and Hamill. Their characters are totally ruined in TLJ.

To me, this movie is a parody of SW. It would be more appropriate to call it Spaceballs 2.… Expand

This is indeed the "Beautiful Mess" that one critic called it. The scenes are BREATHTAKING. There were literally gasps of how beautiful the imagery was. If I were to want a cinematographer, it would be Rian.

As a WRITER, he's a complete mess. The narrative goes in one direction. The meta-narrative goes in a completely different direction. Neither going in a Star Wars direction. Rian had some nods, but they were all visual (as expected from such visually focused director). There is NO adherence to the laws of the Star Wars universe and is a giant middle finger to the whole series. Then, if there was any doubt that this was intentional, Kylo blatantly states it in the movie. This movie literally washes away all that would constitute the IP we know and love.

The plot holes this movie opens up are gargantuan and the contempt for the property is clear. The overt heavy handed push from above is evident. Kathleen Kennedy has killed this universe and is trying to rewrite it to fit her own ideology. This will be made evident when Star Wars IX opens to the worst since Attack of the Clones.

I am shocked at how poor this movie is. It ranges from dull to the absurd, and at times bordering on comedic for all the wrong reasons. Both the action and comedy fall really flat. At its best the movie is mildly entertaining in places. The Force Awakens was not perfect but was a largely decent film, with some standout great moments that you would be happy to rewatch. I cannot think of any part of this movie I would want to rewatch, no scene was that great. The plot? What plot..? Nothing really happens. Nothing is really explained or explored in any depth with regard to the characters, you are largely left with the same questions you had at the end of Force Awakens and some new ones. Want to know who Snoke is? Not gonna happen. And it generally goes that way.
Rey, Kylo Ren, Luke Skywalker are briefly given tiny plot reveals about their past but nothing greatly significant, and for a 2.5hr movie, it begs the question WHY? The story does not advance in any meaningful ways, and subsequently feels like a wasted opportunity. Much of the film has you trudge through painfully familiar territory, space battles, chase scenes, light saber fights etc. But none of it felt particularly exciting or necessary. It’s like the plot could be condensed into a 10 min video and then the rest was just Star Wars filler. It’s easily one of the worst films I’ve seen in 2017. It’s was dreadfully average in every way.… Expand

Cons: More plot holes than you could shake a space cruiser at, held together by ridiculous coincidences. One-dimensional characters who talk about but show no emotions and who, when discarded, leave the audience indifferent - other than established characters who are discarded for no discernible purpose. Characters whose behaviour seems to serve no rational goal. Entire plot lines that severed absolutely no purpose but to have the characters pontificate. Serious breaks with the sagas' premises to allow for developments that again leaves the audience puzzled. Scenes as absurd as a flying English nanny they made me wonder what Disney thinks about its audience.



All in all, Disney seems to go the same path with the Star Wars franchise as Sony went with Ghost Busters: Forget the hitherto loyal fan-base, clean the slate - and then play silly games with it.

A New Hope was the first movie I ever went to twice. I count observing my kids as they watched episodes IV to VI in wonder to my fond memories. After the prequels and The Force Awakens, Rogue One seemed to be a turn to the better. But now, I think Disney is on spot with its message of The Last Jedi: Leave the past behind you.… Expand

One point for each excellent scene, so this movie gets only 2 points, I am not a Star Wars Fan, I am good story fan and a movie fan.

This movie is the equivalent gish gallop debate tactic in a movie drowning us in a flood of individually-weak plots and characters. I feel bad for the director since it seams to me that Kathleen Kennedy used him to direct the movie herself. I Won't buy another theatre ticket to any movie with this 2 individuals having something to do with a movie again.… Expand

This is a really bad film, but also even worse because it kills a beloved franchise. I had to google an explanation for the end of the movie because it makes so little sense. Characters do totally irrational things and whole plot threads haveThis is a really bad film, but also even worse because it kills a beloved franchise. I had to google an explanation for the end of the movie because it makes so little sense. Characters do totally irrational things and whole plot threads have no reason for events or character behavior. I left the theater not knowing who was alive and who was dead because it was so ambiguous and without logic. This movie is worse than the prequel trilogy. There is a light saber duel in the middle of the movie that is OK, although it is over-choreographed and some actors miss their mark, making it look like a silly dance in places. I don't think they can undo the harm in the next sequel, I wish they could retract the film and make it again properly.… Expand
