This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Universe-Unknown

The Last Jedi Movie started with a strong beginning with amazing graphics, action and beautiful visuals but then 30 minutes past we all can see the cliff closing in and wow its a fall. This movie shows that it was newly directed and rewritten, characters have been recreated to fill a another roll to make small attack on crowds of people and force political views that are not needed. And to make Luke Skywalker character look so small and powerless makes the movie unbelievable. True Star Wars fans know who Skywalker is and to see him give up is unreal. Unfortunately this movie will go down as the worst Star Wars movie in history with its broken story and sad character development. Luke would be honored to train a worthy apprentice like Rey so to think that he would just ignore her and drink green space milk while the galaxy is under attack by the darkside is ridiculous.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the worst movies I've ever watched, horrendous in every possible way that shows how such a grand franchise can be ruined in such sad occasion. I say I wasn't really a fan of the Star Wars before I watched the 7th one, but this 'thing' just absolutely destroys everything the series has built.

So many things that are just so much wrong, but especially the existence of Rose. Ruins the flow of the movie so bad that it would have been much better without her and the stupid Casino sequence. Well, I'd rather not waste my ATPs writing about this pile of **** just two more things: parabolic orbit of laser guns in space and the almighty FTL Kamikaze attack. Still get on my nerves after months... WHAT. THE. FXXK?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star Wars is dead... Disney has killed it. I didn't think it was even possible to make Star wars Films worse then Episodes 1-3. This film makes Episodes 1-3 seem like master pieces. Lets start with the characters. They all suck and not one of them is likeable. Rey is a annoying Mary Sue, Finn who was the only likeable character in Force awakens is now a bore, Rose is annoying and the actor who plays her sucks at acting, Po is a tool, Kylo is a pathetic Villian and is more of a whiny pathetic beta cuck. Nothing about him feels threatening. When you are coming off of great Villians like Darth Vader, Darth Maul, and The Emperor. Then Poor Luke Skywalker oh dear god what have they done to you. A once great Jedi is now reduced to a pathetic whiny old man. The story is pure crap. Nothing about this Movie is fun like the older Star Wars films. Then they kill Luke with a moronic death scene. The running theme of this movie is kill off the every thing that is old and great about Star Wars and make way for the new. If this is the New Star Wars, Then just let it die now. In fact Kylo even says this.

Its over people. Star Wars is dead. This film was so damned bad that i cant even go back and watch Episodes 4-6 any more. Maybe in 10-15 years if i can hopefully forget every thing about this movie and the last 2 i might be able to go back and enjoy them. There is no way they can fix this in the next movie... Nothing at all. The best they might be able to do is stop making any more Star Wars movies for 5+ years and make sure who was ever involved with these abominations is never allowed near these movies and get some Talanted writers and Directors and try again from scratch.… Expand

The plot holes are laughable. Sure star wars movies aren't rock solid in the plot department, but this one just throws that rule book out the window.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film is bad and I do not like it. The dialogue is mostly good, and the acting is fantastic. The visuals are incredible, and so is the fight choreography (what little there is in the film). I also enjoy that the film respects the prequels and celebrates in a balance between the new and old Star Wars. The only reason I don't like the film is strictly Luke Skywalker's unfortunate and unseemly death. I mean - Rose was kind of in the way, but that's minor compared to the horrid act that is killing Luke Skywalker. Such an event will not be forgotten. Moving on from the past to focus strictly on the new is a naive and childish concept that has turned a franchise with some potential into a franchise with essentially no potential whatsoever. Episode IX will be interesting, but I am not in the slightest bit excited for its release. Solo and Kenobi will almost certainly be horrendous films and fail critically. This film was an atrocity to mankind. Artists need to learn that their actions have consequences. I do hope that Disney learns their lesson, and avoids damaging other franchises such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe and The X-Files. I suppose we'll see. In the meantime - go see the first two thirds of The Last Jedi! It's a fantastic first two thirds of a film! Have fun!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm very disappointed as a Star Wars fan. I left the theater feeling numb. The franchise has been officially ruined by Disney, and turned into a Marvelesque movie where jokes abound, and nothing is taken too seriously, especially the bad guys. The Star Wars mythos is dumbed down, marginalized and made fun of; nothing really seems to matter or have gravity anymore, as Rey says of the force, "power . . . that makes things float.", gone are the wise words of Obi-wan Kenobi, and Jedi Master Yoda. I long for the wooden acting of the prequels, for at least they kept true to Star Wars. The Force Awakens made me optimistic for the new trilogy, and The Last Jedi ended my optism while ruining the character arcs that were set up in the in number 7. In the opening scene we have an inappropriate use of humour from Poe Dameron directed at General Hux which makes the villians comical and make them less menacing. Imagine the same happening to Darth Vader in the original trilogy. Following the humor Poe makes fun of General Hux's skin color, calling him pasty. Imagine if the same was said about a black person? It's okay to make fun of white males today. Everyone else is off limits because you'll be accused of racism or sexism, or some other ism. I typically wouldn't care about such a comment, because I'm not that sensitive, but it infuriates me because of the double standard.

As I said, the character arcs were destroyed from The Force Awakens. Rey who I really enjoyed as a character in the first movie turns out to have been sold off by her junk dealer parents. This removes all the mystery from Rey, and makes it impossible to accept how perfect she is. She knows the force extremely well and can use a lightsaber without an ounce of training, but there is absoloutely no reason for it, it just is. No where in the Star Wars universe does that occur, even with the virgin brith of Anakin Skywalker; he himself had to learn before he became a great Jedi.

I liked Rey so much in the first movie, and now I no longer care where her story ends up. They did nothing to advance the character. Following that failure, Kylo Ren kills Supreme Leader Snoke before we have a chance to learn anything about him. This character was set up to be super powerful in the TFA, and here in TLJ we have him show his massive power by knocking Hux to the ground as a hologram, and he plays with Kylo and Rey, yet he can't feel Kylo Ren moving and preparing Luke's lightsaber next to him to dismember him. It's amazing. What's the point?

The characters go nowhere in the movie, and neither does the story. Finn is another character who has wasted potential. They send him off with the new character Rose to the casino planet to find a code breaker who will help break the tracking device the New Order has on the Resistance's capital ship, which allows the fist order to track them through hyperspace. This mission is pointless, and feels like filler. It didn't feel like Star Wars to me, and there was commentary on animal abuse, and child abuse which also felt out of place in a Star Wars movie. The way Luke was handled was aggregious. Here is the man who went on a suicide mission to turn his father Darth Vader in the Return of the Jedi, but here we find out he was thinking of killing his nephew because he felt the darkside in him. This is the same man who was a new hope in the original trilogy, and here we find him turning his back on his family and friends, wanting to destroy the history of the Jedi, and being bested by Rey because feminism now rules in Disney Star Wars, and all males are idiots.

There is so much wrong with this movie, that it's hard to keep it short. The final stab in the heart is the Leia giving up on her son, Luke projecting himself and the dying from exertion did me completely, and Rey moving rocks to save what's left of the resistance when Luke said earlier that the force isn't just about moving rocks, but there you go. Wouldn't it have been nicer if he at least trained her to move the rocks and we had a payoff, and he raised his x-wing from under the water to show up in the last battle instead of using this new force power of astral projection. I don't know where this trilogy is going, but I don't care to see this movie again nor the next in the series. I'm sure we'll see the same agenda applied to Solo and Episode 9. Han Solo won't be able to get anyting done unless a small attractive female shows him the way.

I guess fans like me are old news. This is now the age of politically correct, feminist, Disney marvel Star Wars. It's time for me to move on.… Expand

SarumanWiseDec 31, 2017

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film really gets better after a second viewing. It's a good movie - just not necessarily a good Star Wars movie.

Disclaimer: I am not a bot. Nor do I hate diversity - I loved it in this film and TFA. I am, however, a "fanboy", but not a misogynist racist neo-Nazi like some of the critics out there would have you believe.

This film has been discussed ad infinitum all over the Internet, so let's get straight to it:

THE GOOD:
Plenty to like about this film. George Lucas was right that it was "beautifully filmed" - breathtaking vistas, Crait, Holdo's lightspeed jump - the excellent filmography continues from Rogue One. The acting was good too - Mark Hamill gives the performance of his career (even if his Luke wasn't true to character) and Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver have improved tons from TFA. I loved Yoda - puppet Yoda being silly was still in character, in my opinion, and his lines make sense. I have no problem believing that the most powerful Jedi ever can call down lightning even as a Force ghost. Also Luke Force-projecting at the end wasn't new - Yoda did it first in the animated Star Wars Rebels. And even though I have complaints about Luke, that final duel was badass.

THE BAD:
Let's do a little thought experiment. Go rewatch the throne room scene in Return of the Jedi. Watch Luke slice Vader's hand off and then catch himself. See him throw his lightsaber away and tell the Emperor "I am a Jedi, like my father before me". He refused to kill the second most evil man in the galaxy - and that faith turns Vader back to the light side. Now watch TLJ. Can you really believe that this same Luke would raise a lightsaber against his sleeping nephew, Leia's son? Now you have the reason most fans are disappointed about Luke's portrayal - TLJ Luke isn't Luke. He would maybe mope about for a while, but there's no way in Jabba's arse that he wouldn't come back to help Leia. Rey and R2 knew it too - they used Leia to try and persuade Luke, and the Luke of the original trilogy put his family and friends over everything else. Him dying at the end, while poignant, also could have been better written - I felt an iconic character like Luke Skywalker deserved better overall.

Wasted villains are a cardinal sin to me. Snoke was wasted - I understand he had to die, but that could have been done so much better. Completely unrealistic how he is built up to be such a powerful Force user and doesn't see the betrayal coming even though he is LITERALLY READING KYLO'S MIND AT THE TIME. Phasma appears on screen, is badass - then dies unceremoniously after forgetting how to use a gun on Finn. Hux, once actually menacing and ambitious in TFA, is reduced to Monty Python levels of comedy here. And the entire First Order appears incompetent - how did they even conquer the galaxy between TFA and this film? At least Lucas did proper worldbuilding in his prequels.

THE VERDICT:
Perhaps the most chilling thing about The Last Jedi is how well Disney can control the media narrative. Film critics are a finicky bunch - it's suspicious how they have all unanimously lined up to sing praises about The Last Jedi. This has not gone unnoticed - commenters at The Guardian have asked why their usually picky film critics left glowing reviews without any faults, the Angry Joe Show recanted their criticism after posting a 2-million-view video ranting about TLJ's problems, and for every article correctly pointing out that TLJ is underperforming for a Star Wars movie, there are 10 more saying how it's raking in billions at the box office and how it's God's gift to cinema, etc etc. Even The Phantom Menace got some good reviews initially - so when ALL the critics line up in one choir to praise a film to the heavens, you know something fishy's going on.

In the end, it's our right to like or dislike a film - and just because some people dislike this one doesn't mean we should be ridiculed or talked down to, especially not when we've supported the franchise for decades.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was really looking forward to The Last Jedi after how much fun the The Force Awakens was despite its problems. Instead of finding a creative way to play with the viewers expectations and take the universe into a bold new direction, The Last Jedi treats us to 2.5 hours of dumb characters doing dumb things that are ultimately pointless by the end of the film. Returning characters are underwritten and never find their footing while new characters are uninteresting and annoying. Rose just might be the Jar Jar Binks of this generation.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Star Wars movie I'll ever see has zero story-telling and it doesn't want to build off of the hype episode 7 had initiated with JJ Abrams as director. They made Luke skywalker act like a frightened child and so out of character from the original Star wars movies. Luke went from being a heroic masterful jedi to a character who hates himself and those around him. It's never explained as to why the jedi must end when Luke says it. How the hell is leia alive after floating and freezing in space from being blasted out of the mothership? Yea there's mentions of her having some sort of abilities with the Force in previous movies but this movie doesn't care to explain it. Snoke was hyped up to become equivalent of Palpatin but kylo kills him in a flick of a finger. Nothing else is brought up of him. No one knows where he comes from or how strong he really is. Will he be brought back? Who knows and at this point who cares. For the love of god if you're gonna kill Luke one of the strongest Jedi to ever live and with the original actor still alive bless him to play the whole please make an EPIC **** SCENE instead he's too distressed from using the force to astral project. He died from intense meditation. This Star wars movie might have potentially killed the franchise as a whole we'll see in the coming years but personally I couldn't care less for Episode 9.… Expand

-Fat Asian girl is in this movie only because she is a fat Asian girl. -Their terrible timing in jokes
-Their total lack of common sense (fuel as plot device in star wars, really? The resistance is down to 11 guys, so it is for all intents and proposes DESTROYED, which makes the stakes at the last battle totally pointless)

Star wars as a whole is okay. For me, it's a good space drama with a solid and mostly coherent story, until now. This latest movie assumes that all of a sudden, fans don't care about plot holes or lore. Some character motivations are outright stupid. Technology/physics in the universe all of a sudden changes and becomes stupid to serve the silly plot. Characters gain powers suddenly that they didn't have before. And other characters just don't act like they used to.

Even with not being a fan of the series, I was able to pick up on all of this, and it gave me a "wtf is this crap" vibe by the end of the movie.

I'm amazed that such a production was possible. Did no one have issues with the script? Was everyone involved incompetent? If I was a fan, I'd be outraged. But I'm not, so I'll just remember this movie as another one of hollywood's forgettable failures (of which there are many).… Expand

Despite some shortcomings, TFA created a promise for a great episode VIII. Alas, it wasn't to be. The director Rian Johnson does not appear to understand what made Star Wars work. Childish humour was never a strength of the series and Johnson not only overuses humour, his intended jokes misfire one after another. Worse, like the prequels, TLJ has no sense for tone. One goes from tragedy to the most daft humour and back again. The best explanation for the mess that is TLJ is that Rian Johnson is having a whale of a time trolling all genuine SW fans. In any event, SW has been killed for good.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SOCIAL JUSTICE WARS: Episode VIII- THE WORST JEDI

This movie is a complete travesty. The writer/ director had no idea how to please the legions of Star Wars fans across the globe or perhaps they just didn't care. The heroes are hard to root for and seem made to please every liberal and minority possible, never mind the majority of the viewers. The villains are weak and uninspiring. The film basically urinates on all of Star Wars history. The way Luke acted AND died was unforgivable. The "Force" was not with this movie.… Expand

Catastrophic :(
Worst star Wars ever... Star Wars The Last Jedi is a kind of mix between The Return of the Jedi and The Empire Strikes Back.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am not a fanboy. I do not want to MAGA. I do not suffer from “toxic masculinity.” I am, however, a lifelong fan of Star Wars. I also want to see fantasy movies to, you know, engage in fantasy, not be reminded of modern life’s ills. Unfortunately, TLJ is thinly-veiled allegory for American politics that pushes a SJW agenda. It also plagiarizes The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and has absurd plot holes. Allegory and the SJWs:
* All the bad guys are white guys (except a few quisling Asians and the female silver Stormtrooper, who is in costume). No major protagonists are white guys, except Luke, who is surly and unlikeable and gets killed off at the end. *Men - both the good guys and bad guys - are depicted as irrational, emotional, and childish. The First Order rules the universe, but all of its officers are seemingly incompetents who throw a fit whenever things don’t go their way. How is that?
*Women, on the other hand, are depicted as noble, calm, and mature. Women occupy all positions of leadership in the Resistance (with the exception of some token aliens). There are no men on the bridge of the rebel flagship. *There are no white male protagonists in the first two installments of this trilogy. So far, the protagonists are: white female, black male, Latino male, and Asian female; apparently, white males can only portray the bad guys. Of the three holdovers from the original trilogy - Luke, Leaia, and Han - the two white males have been killed off. *As the hero of an epic, Rey is supposed to undergo The Hero’s Journey. Unfortunately, she does not, because to do so would require that she encounter setbacks and temporary failures before succeeding. This, of course, would be misogynistic, because it would depict women as weak. Therefore, as other reviews have more eloquently noted, Rey displays no weakness. She flies the Millennium Falcon better than Han Solo. She experiences no moments of self-doubt. Her only “journey” is to know the limits of her seemingly limitless power. Girl Power, indeed. *Capitalism is bad. War is bad. Racing animals is bad. Eating animals is bad. Love conquers all. Plagiarism and Plot Holes
* Two key scenes shamelessly plagiarize Empire and Jedi. Lucas was excoriated for plagiarizing scenes from other movies for the middle three movies. It looks like Johnson isn’t above a little plagiarism himself. I was waiting for a Tauntaun to show up in the final scene. *Most absurd of all is the whole premise of the movie. The First Order has figured out how to track the Resistance through hyperspace, so the Resistance leads them on a low-speed chase through space with shields on full in the rear until they can figure out how to jam their signal and escape through hyperspace again. Are you kidding me? The entire premise of the movie is...the OJ Simpson White Bronco chase? The First Order can figure out how to track the rebels through hyperspace, but they can’t figure out how to pass them and shoot them from the front of their ships? Really? I know movies require some suspension of disbelief, but give me a break, people.… Expand

Things that I liked - the visuals are stunning, with only a few minor cgi issues. Cinematography, lighting, set design, costumes, all of it was incredible. The music is a step up from The Force Awakens, and I enjoyed it. There is some good acting, mostly from the older cast. Now for the negatives. The story and plot, from start to finish and without a single exception, is horrid. Logical inconsistencies are everywhere, from stupid reasoning and decision making by main characters to a complete inability to explain obvious questions, ie. why the First Order doesn't simply send a couple ships a light speed ahead of where the fleeing "resistance" is heading and cut them off. Then there is the tone, which is all over the place. Forced, horrible humor cut in the middle of life and death situations. Levity from characters like a dejected, defeated Luke that goes completely against what we are told his character has become. COMPLETELY useless subplots that render certain characters pointless. Finn, Rose, and to a large extent Leia might as well not even be in this movie. Also, Rose is worse than Jar Jar. I would rather watch an entire Jar Jar solo film than endure even another minute of Rose's horribly overacted, useless character. Also, they destroyed Luke. Completely, utterly destroyed him. He is a shell of his former self, making stupid jokes, not caring about anything, SHOWING A WILLINGNESS TO KILL HIS OWN NEPHEW JUST BECAUSE A LITTLE BIT OF DARKNESS WAS GROWING IN HIM. Oh I'm sorry, he had an entire trilogy about forgiveness and seeing the good in even the darkest figures in the galaxy, i.e. Darth Vader, yet the boy he grew up with, the son of his sister and best friend, shows he has darkness in him and Luke, in some pathetic showing of weakness, considers ending his life. Pathetic writing. Pathetic story telling. I would give this movie less than a zero if I could. All of this is without mentioning Leia's superman/mary poppins act out in space, where she should have been burned, hit with debris, has the liquid freeze in her body, and have been deprived of oxygen for what looked like several minutes, despite having shown zero inclination of how to use the force at all previously besides little feelings here and there. Oh, and Rey is just as much of an all powerful Jedi god again despite no training. She can do no wrong. She is an angel. There are zero stakes at play for her, because she is perfect. Oh, and then there's the bomber run at the beginning, where gravity apparently exists in space, and someone can be exposed to the vacuum of space and still breath. There's Luke milking an elephant cow thing and drinking it's blue milk...just what in the actual f.... There's the forced political crap, like the Admiral's purple hair, the animal cruelty messages, the obvious diversity just to check boxes. I am a liberal, but don't you dare infect star wars with political statements. There's the Admiral herself, who is set up like a villain for LITERALLY NO REASON OTHER THAN THEY WANTED TO MAKE POE LOOK LIKE A FOOL. Seriously, I challenge literally any fan of this movie to explain why the film did everything it could to portray her as a villain when in actuality she is self sacrificing and heroic, a close friend of Leia's. Why she wouldn't give her plan to the only commander she has left. If you can't trust the military leader of your remaining...what, 250 people?...then who CAN you trust? So dumb. Then there's Luke projecting himself across the galaxy - fine, you want to introduce new aspects of the force, I'm ok with that - only to have him DIE ANYWAYS?!?! WHAT WAS THE POINT OF HAVING HIM PROJECT THEN?!?! Just have him go there if you're going to kill him. Have him fight, go out like a hero, take out a bunch of the First Order with him! Oh, I'm sorry, you wanted to have him die while echoing the twin sun shot from A New Hope. So you twist the plot around to make that happen, when the logic makes zero sense and it's just a "gotcha" moment for the audience. So dumb. Then there's Rey lifting the entire mountain of rocks when Luke couldn't lift the X-Wing after a bunch of training. Wait, what about Rey's backstory being entirely pointless? Even though YOU THE FRANCHISE built it up as some great secret? In the same vein, how about building up who Snoke could possibly be, building up his all powerful command of the dark side, only for him to monologue like every other villain and for some reason not sense Kylo betraying him then dying without a shred of backstory or importance? This movie did so many things wrong, spat in so many faces, that I refuse to see it as cannon. It is a fanfic, a piece of imaginating from a politically motivated teenager. It is pathetic in every way, insulting, ridiculous, funny for all the wrong reasons, and a disgrace to fans.… Expand

The facts are : Cinema would be no more if the studios did not have Star Wars films to hype people into theaters. I'm so glad I waited until dvd. When you compare to the episodes 4,5,6 obviously the film would never have any chance, but even 1 (yes 1),2 and 3 are better in my view. The stupidity of this film is taken to new highs and yes Sci Fi can be done sensibly. Star Wars has now invented the long range / hyper space video conference call. Space Travel now all blue like if in Doctor Who Tardis. The usual trend of introducing pointless characters and then killing them, expecting us to care. The big bad cheese looks like out of Tom and Jerry. General Hus looks and is played as if should be in a Harry Potter movie. I could go on, like the film. Awful.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: The CGI was great.

Cons: Here's a list of major plotholes. The Empire has been fighting the Rebels/Resistance for 40 years now and 3 capital ships (one of which is the Emperor's flagship) are completely and utterly defenseless against a single X-Wing?? The Supremacy, the largest ship in the First Order, and the one containing the Emperor, can't take care of one single X-Wing? Why doesn't the Resistance just send 30 X-Wings to take down all 3 capital ships then? It takes under 5 minutes for this one X-Wing to destroy all the cannons on the surface of one of the Dreadnoughts. Somehow, the shields and armor of the Empire's capital ships are totally torn apart by one lone, tiny, single-pilot fighter, even though the giant cannons on the Dreadnoughts are unable to pierce the shield on the Raddus. Why exactly does the Empire build these ships? Why does Holdo stay on the Raddus? The plan was to evacuate everyone on the transport ships while the Raddus continued it's course in order to distract the Imperial fleet. Why does she have to stay on the ship just for it to continue flying the same direction at the same speed? At this point, it was unknown to them that DJ would betray them, so there was no reason for a pilot to stay on the Raddus. Also, why does the person staying on the ship need to be a senator and the acting-admiral of the fleet, as well as one of Leia's oldest and most trusted friends? You couldn't put a droid on there? Or anyone else? Two torpedoes with explosive payloads go off right next to Leia. She survives the flames, the shockwave, and the (millions of pieces of) shrapnel. She gets knocked unconscious in the vacuum of space, but manages to hold the oxygen in her lungs and survives depressurization and freezing. And when she flies back to the ship, they open a door to the vacuum of space on a moving ship without any sort of depressurization or suction at all. What? This is B-movie level bad. Finn and Rose took an escape pod from the Raddus to the casino and back. If the escape pods are equipped with hyperdrives, then why don't they use them to escape instead of the transport ships? The hyperdrive weaponization. There's about a million posts on this so I won't go into it. How does Rey know how to use a lightsaber and force powers? How can she stand toe-to-toe against Royal Guards? She has had zero combat training whatsoever, and next to no force training. Rose's sister gives her life for the Resistance. She uses a stun-baton on her personal hero because he was trying to abandon ship. She goes on what is most likely an insane suicide mission for a chance to let the Resistance fleet get away. She gives up the one possession she has left over from her family (her necklace) to complete the mission. Why, then, does she risk the lives of literally everyone remaining in the Resistance in a last-ditch desperate attempt to save Finn from giving his life to stop the cannon? The cannon that's about to destroy the last line of defense that the Resistance has. This makes no sense for her character. After she rams Finn's ship, why do the advancing AT-ATs completely ignore them? They are literally right in front of the AT-AT line. How are they able to cover all that distance back to the base without being shot or captured? Why are the FO capital ships unable to see or fire upon the transports before DJ tells them? If they were cloaked, how are they suddenly able to see them once they know about the plan? Why do they not chase them down with TIE fighters since they know that the ship containing all the Resistance's fighter ships is now empty? There is a period of time when Kylo Ren is unconscious and Rey takes Snoke's escape pod to leave. Why does she not kill Kylo, the (now) most evil person in the universe, the one who killed Han, the commander of the Supremacy, and the Emperor of the First Order? She could nearly end the war right there!… Expand

Another installment of modern Hollywoods lust for mediocrity, jamming undeveloped characters and plot in between glitzy CGI action scenes. If you asked 100 liberal arts graduates to write a Star Wars trilogy I believe nearly all of them would be better than this bland superficial pile of crap. In almost every scene I could practically hear some obnoxious salesman writer/director/producer pitch the scene to corporate executives who are barely listening.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Shallow, dumbed down, weird tone for a Star Wars movie, boring/nonsensical plot with Luke Skywalker, the greatest hero of one of my favorite universe's being relegated to a paranoid, possibly mentally ill, alien breast feeding mountain hermit. Speechless Disney - I am still in shock I think. All of the answers to interesting questions and cliffhangers from TFA were completely ignored in favor of introducing worse than JarJar - Rose and a plotline to talk about animal cruelty. What.... what... seriously? The fate of the galaxy is supposedly at stake here, but we need to take a random segway to watch people we don't care about ride donkeys and learn about why rich people are evil and animal cruelty is bad? It was so forced and cringy and out of place and a waste of screentime it felt like a saturday night live skit. The only reason this gets one star is because of the throne room fight scene, which was great. There were some other decent fight scenes, but they are forever ruined by the cringy humor and awful plot decisions i.e. fight with finn and phasma... ruined by cheesy deus ex machina finn saved by the elevator and bb8 piloting an ATST??!?! Wow, that was actually one of the worst things I have ever seen i.e. fight scene on salt planet ruined by cringy luke brushing dirt of his shoulder and rose rescuing finn who was trying to save the rebellion because she loves him after spending 5 hours with him?!? i.e. kylo ren fighting his way to the front of the rebel ship and blowing up the command center but then leia becomes superman?!?! Worst of all the entire plot was pointless. There was virtually no character development or interesting developments for the resistance except for the fact that we learned they are completely useless and now down to about 20 people that can fit into the millenium falcon. Possible the worst star wars of all time.… Expand

The Casino scene was unnecessary, Luke Skywalker wasn't Luke Skywalker. The porgs were oversold and Chewbacca was a set piece. Everything that wasn't Luke's story felt like time filler to the already bloated running time. "Well, we need something for Finn to do... Hey, Casino Royale" Poe needs to be a rebel so let's not make him privy to our plan so he can mutany. It made no sense why he wouldn't be included in the plan. And what the hell, Rey and Kylo's scenes were forced, they had to figure a way for them to share screen time. Essentially, the previous movie became irrelevant and all it's set ups were ignored. If you're telling a 9 episode story, why disregard the previous 7 so you can have the last one start all over? In the over-all arc of the saga, this one is a strange outlier.… Expand

I've played the games, collected the comic books and read about a dozen of the novels. I've got about $300 worth of Star Wars: Armada ships in my book case and even though EP1 and EP2 were not stellar (they were good though..), EP3 was amazing. I listen to the sound tracks and when I ran a marathon years ago, I listened to the "Throne Room" track when I crossed the finish line. I've built models as a child of X-Wings and other ships, I've bought easily $1000 worth of Star Wars legos and sent them to my nephews. I've seen the Clone Wars cartoon series all the way through twice and I'll probably watch it again someday. My youth, my imagination, my heart all belonged to Star Wars.

Not anymore. I never will watch Episode VII or VIII again. Horrible garbage that craps on all the lore of the past, changes all the characters and story for the worst and has killed any interest I have in Star Wars ever again. I didn't see Solo and I will not be seeing Episode 9. Star Wars is dead to me. It's a liberal crap fest of silly men and purple haired over arching women. The men are all stupid and the women all are just so smart. The force is silly and the Jedi are meaningless. I didn't care if any of them lived or died. I'm still not even sure what happened in this movie or why I should care. The magic is gone, Star Wars is dead. I wish these movies were never made (Rogue One was ok, but not worth the crap that is 7 and 8). I will watch the original 6 until I die, and just pretend Disney never got involved.… Expand

Why not a fanatic, I have always been a Star Wars fan and was really looking forward to the Last Jedi. I avoided all spoilers and went to screening just a few days after it was released.

Unfortunately, despite trying to remain positiveWhy not a fanatic, I have always been a Star Wars fan and was really looking forward to the Last Jedi. I avoided all spoilers and went to screening just a few days after it was released.

Unfortunately, despite trying to remain positive throughout the viewing, ultimately I was left hugely disappointed. For me the movie was totally superficial. A good looking movie that lacked any real soul or depth in either the story or the characters. That was the real problem for me, Star Wars or any good movie has always been character driven for me. I feel a connection to the characteristics and become invested in their story. The Last Jedi had the opposite affect on me. Characters that I had been interested in like Rey, Finn and Poe and even long time favourites like Luke Skywalker came across as quite plastic and to be honest almost unlikeable. By halfway through the movie their story had little suspense because I no longer cared what happened to the characters.

After watching the movie I was quite interested in others opinions and was quite surprised by the positive reviews that it received from critics. Especially reviews that praised it for it’s originality and for taking chances. I know it tried to shock at different stages but it came across as being cheap and gimmicky rather than anything of real substance. In fact I wished that they had followed through with some of these scenes. They could have made some of these characters more compelling maybe even making Kylo Ren a formidable villain.

Overall the movie was just disappointing or as some of my friends put it a ‘lemon’. i do realise that half the viewing population loved the movie and to those people more power to you in fact I feel a bit jealous because I wished that I enjoyed it as well but I can’t recommend this movie as anything more than a B movie time filler.… Expand

This is not only a really terrible sw movie (they take a **** on the lore and The Last Jedi does not feel like sw movie at all) but it is genuinely a really terrible movie in general (as a craft in the least). I am very distrustful of "critics" since The Force Awakens reviews. And now it is beyond obvious - critics are either dishonest and bought, scared and self-censored or just plainly incompetent and stupid.

I don't need to spoiler here anything and write what wrote dozens (hundreds? thousands?) of people before me - check youtube channels, google the "what is wrong with the last jedi" or...just use your OWN brain when you watch it. It is not a "toxic" fandom, nazis, fascists, alt-right, manbabies, misogynists or whatnot (as the media and Disney call us) - this movie is simply dumb. The plot is dumber and worse than the screenplay for the remake of Ninja Turtles or Power Rangers - seriously..it is that bad, nonsensical, filled with plot holes, filler side quest with a null outcome and consequence (30+ minutes of scenes which could be cut from the movie and it would steal absolutely nothing from the "story"), lore/world breaking stuff (how they let this happen?), abundance of so called "twists", really BAD and inappropriate humor and once again to emphasise: plot holes, plot armors and deus ex machina everywhere (people getting from point A to point B even when the enemy is everywhere and pointing guns at them with magic I guess)... On top of that there is criminally mistreated character of Luke Skywalker...just god awful treatment.

There is so much wrong with this excuse for a movie so that there are hours of rants on the internet...go and look. The movie is long (nothing is happening there for almost 3 hours!), feels empty, it's boring, the antagonists are complete jokes - literally (mama jokes, prank "phone" calls...). And the protagonists are either dumb, they are acting irrationally to serve a "plot" or inexplicably overpowered and plain. No character development, no struggle especially for Rey - Yes, she proved herself as a textbook example of Mary Sue yet again... Story is sooo lame and stupid that a twelve year old boy/girl could think it of on his/her way to the school.... And you can hate Jar Jar or George Lucas for the prequels but those movies had the beginning, a middle and the end (each of them) and they had an overall arc. George's movies are an example of a consistent and meaningful storytelling. And most importantly they built and extended the sw universe - they give the viewer a feeling that the story is happening in a big galaxy with a bunch of planets and worlds... I was thrilled to read at night the wookiepedia, the books and play the games in that wonderful world George and others created: Thrawn saga, Jedi Outcast, Academy, Kotor 1-2, Force Unleashed...

That all is gone now - Disney killed it and cooked a cheap and dumb movie with Star Wars logo to make money but without any Star Wars ingredients. I did not like VII (basically lot of similar problems and complete rehash of IV - again, go and search internet what is wrong with this one if you need someone to pinpoint it for you) but I went to the cinema after the horrible VII to see episode VIII for the one and only reason they left me - I went to see VIII only for Luke Skywalker, I wanted at least this fan service...I wanted the Jedi Master which he should be...but we've got a clown, a joke of the character instead... This trilogy lacks the SW soul.

You think I am a butt-hurt manbaby (the insult J. Abrams or Rian Johnson calls the fans?) - then why is the director Rian Johnson every day on twitter posting stupidity and trying to defend his creation?? Because he, lucasfilm and disney sees the huge hate but not from some few weirdos like media tries to sell - but from across the fandom and the audience. He tries to blame everything and everyone (even gamergate omg) but himself. Go and laugh at his twitter account... That guy is PATHETIC.

I am not seeing the episode IX. There is nothing to bring me to the cinema for the next episode - it is not just some "childish" boycott - I am just genuinely not interested how this trilogy ends.

P.S. And thanks to the bad taste they left in my mouth I am skipping any other SW movie from their social-justice labs. If they want to push agendas - let them embed it in a good movie at least... The leftist propaganda is too forced and off putting. Movies like SW is a form of escapism...they just tainted it.

P.P.S. To Disney: Solo flopped and you may try to fix this disaster but you cannot undone this money-grab. When you try to reboot this mess I have an advice for you: hire some REAL storyteller who has some talent and will invest at least one afternoon for the screenplay. He should be a real fan with a good taste and respect to the established lore - for now just let this garbage die and be forgotten.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Force Awakens was just okay, but this movie made that one so much worse in hindsight. Seems like the whole movie was cheap head fakes. Plus most of the movie doesn't really even make sense.… Expand

Abomination of the series. Absolute disgrace to the entire series and throws away entire established ethos. This whole movie is a agenda.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. He had 4 months to prepare, didnt start writing before the last day. Tried to kill off everything from the last movie it seems. Put in different themes as if he were a child. Most of the crap is done for cheap laughs, nothing really seems to make any sense, since the whole movie is focused on a long chase that makes no sense. And in the end ruining Star Wars continuity. ships cant be faster than eachother. One ship can kill everything. Bombers were stupid and useless. Useless characer holding a secret for no reason to cause mutiny. People leaving and coming back to the chase. I mean I do not understand any of the crap in this movie. Finn getting saved right before dying while going full speed, by someone who was the opposite way further away. Luke Skywalker was made a walking joke most of it. Ruining his image.

Seems Disney has so much power of the reviewers. This is a bad movie. Giving it a 100 or 10 is an insult to filmmaking and the Star Wars Universe.… Expand
