They make it worth watching. The Last Jedi is very disappointing, but it's still a solid movie and took Star Wars into a new direction. I hope the next one stays far away from the original trilogy and becomes it's own movie, not a rehash.… Expand

The Last Jedi is all about letting the past go and what the future will bring. It remarks the difficulty of letting the past die.

So where does an average person fall into the mix? It's definitely a good movie but not as great as I had expected based on what the critics had said. Between some of the very odd decisions that were revealed to have been made by alot of the characters (most notably Luke) and the very slow middle portion of the movie, it felt like things dragged on a bit too much for my liking. I also don't agree with the fact that this was a pseudo-ending for the movies. There's very clearly going to be a 3rd and final one for this set of the movies and they set up for it fairly well. I just don't feel like the movie set things in motion very well with some of the storylines that came out of it. Of course the most obvious one was pushed to a new limit going forward (no spoilers....) but the other main part of the story just never really clicked the entire time and felt like nothing was accomplished. I wish I could say more but even just starting to talk about it would give it away and ruin the experience. It's certainly not a bad movie by any means. Yes it does take alot of liberties with some tried and true characters, and makes them seems fairly weak in response to those choices. But the movie itself was a good time. It felt very similar to how Empire did for the IV-VI movies. This is the transition movie for this part of the storyline. And while I'm sure people don't like how polarizing it ended up being, it did its part I feel like. I personally liked The Force Awakens and even Rogue One more then this one, but didn't feel like it dropped the ball like alot of hardcore fanboys have felt like.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m with the critics on this one.

While there were certainly elements of this that I did not like (Leia jumping the space shark being the worst), and disenchantment over how Luke was treated, every time something made me uncomfortable, there was something else to snap me back and love it more. I have so much heart for the Yoda scene. Holdo light-speed collision: breath-taking. Leia standing in the Crait base doorway: stunning.

On first viewing I thought that, while each joke was genuinely funny, there were overall too many. And I felt that they tied up too many threads, wondering where the story can go in Episode IX. But second time around all these little things fell away and were far more acceptable.

I believe that this film will age very well. And that tearing Luke down to build him into something far greater will, in time, be seen as a fitting end to his character arc.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I recall seeing Empire for the first time back in 1980. Granted, I was 8, but I do recall being disappointed. For MANY years after, Empire was always the weak link for me. I loved Star Wars and Return of the Jedi, but not Empire. As I got older, I obviously realized how great it was, and now it's by far my favorite. It took me probably 15 years to get there, though. Being 45 going into this one, it didn't take quite as long, but I still left the theater feeling a little unsure about what I just watched. In a very broad sense, a lot of what I hoped to see made it into the movie, but almost none of it in a way that I remotely expected. There was also quite a bit that I did not see coming. I loved TFA, and I love the Last Jedi. It is NOT all that similar to what's come before, and with a little time to digest, I think that's precisely what loved.… Expand

There are thing to dislike about this film, but there is also a great deal to like.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi's determination to move forward comes with good and bad consequences. On one hand, there are genuinely shocking moments in this movie. Characters you thought were good have a dark side. Those who should be wise act foolishly, and a single decent act doesn't suddenly make a bad guy good. If you think you know which way this thing will go purely on a narrative level, you're probably wrong. For a Star Wars movie, that unpredictability is refreshing.
What really doesn't help The Last Jedi is how grossly bloated it is with circuitous subplots, narrative cul-de-sacs, and detours that amount to little more than distractions. The movie's main event is actually a drawn out stalemate between Snoke's armada and Leia's pathetic forces, which probably wasn't a smart structural choice for a middle movie that would have threatened to drag even without a lengthy standoff in the middle.
That sounds grim, but The Last Jedi gets many important things right too. Like The Force Awakens, it's beautiful to behold. It's also just the right amount of funny. Even the Porgs, which drew such a following before the movie had even released, provide the right amount of cute without feeling overused.… Expand

It doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter how big orI think the most difficult thing about reviewing any movie in the Star Wars franchise is that it is inevitable that each new film will always be compared with the original trilogy. It doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter how big or small of Star Wars fan you might be--if you've seen them, you have strong feelings about either way.
That being said, I really do believe The Last Jedi is among my favorite overall. While it does feel very different in tone, theme, and structure (somewhat), the film itself feels like an allegory arguing over its own identity in the Star Wars Universe and is executed in such a way that is bold, very respectable, and very entertaining to watch.
Whereas with the original trilogy, and even the prequels, the film was setup to abide by a Greek Tragedy structure, centering around the biggest and most central players in the galaxy only. It is a story about family dysfunction contextualized in the center of conflict on a galactic scale.
The Last Jedi solidifies that this is not the direction the Disney Star Wars Universe is headed in, love it or hate it. I just see this as different; it is Disney realizing there is no way to expand the Universe of their newly acquired property without separating itself gradually, and through these new films, to do so. In a story telling schematic, I think it is a bold choice that offers the opportunity to allow stories that, before under George Lucas, could and would never have happened. The dark undertones, both thematically and visually, make the film start to really feel like a war movie.
Allegorical Representation I read into:
The Resistance ship using thrusters only to stay just out of reach from the First order. I perceive this as the Resistance represents Disney making every attempt it can to lead Star Wars to a new place where it will be able to thrive and become wonderful for everyone again, Po is the audience trying to follow faithfully but skeptical of the decision making abilities of the new admiral in charge (throwing critical question after question), and the First Order is the first interpretation of Star Wars/also the "negative Nancy" that will never let itself be happy with the new Star Wars ever. Luke Skywalker represents the faithful Star Wars fan that is terrified to lose control over the direction Star Wars is heading in. Kylo Ren represents all of the fans that are only negative about the new movies; he wants it all to end, the Jedi and the Sith--he wants everything to stop. So much so, that Kylo kills the "new Emperor," in a fairly anticlimactic way to avoid any chance of history repeating itself in these movies.
Things I really appreciated in this movie:
-Expanding the scope of the Galaxy, and how the wars effect other people (specifically, the "more normal" individuals)
-Creating morally gray areas in the war, including the commentary that very briefly touches on the war profiteers. Especially when it is revealed that the ship DJ steals is from someone who sells ships to the First Order and the Resistance, it begs the question, "Why are the wars at all?" to be asked. -The way Luke is made to contextualize the original trilogy, it's almost as if Luke is saying the way that part of the Star Wars history line is perceived within the universe is that it is exaggerated, almost mythical, and somewhat misunderstood. This grounds the Greek Tragedy epicness in many ways; we are made to see Luke not as a super hero/master jedi that is without character flaws, but instead a single being who feels just as powerless in the universe as anybody else might. -There is a lot of emphasis on the fact that wars cannot be won by individuals, but by groups of individuals working together.
The only things I really did not enjoy, or simply felt indifferent about:
-Finn. While in the Force Awakens he's pretty great, his character in this one feels so out of place with the tone that was established. His dialogue were only quick whips, none of which were really at all creative. To boot, they gave him an arc that really didn't make any difference in the outcome of the movie. I just don't get it and I don't find him appealing. He feels like a really immature and goofy character for a film that is so dark and serious.
-Porgs. Except for one gag in the end, they are the Minions of the Star Wars universe as far as I am concerned.
Things I was confused about:
-Maz Kanata's appearance in the movie. It was entirely unnecessary, and just didn't really connect to the story. It also didn't make any sense how she was (essentially) facetiming with the resistance. Who was holding the camera? How was this call being taken? Was the camera shot after she jet packs away from the camera?… Expand

It was very entertaining, the Snoke kill was wonderful and not expected, setting up the real villain... It broke tradition and was great. I wasn't a huge fan of the prequels at all, but this and Force Awakens have been awesome. The casino section was the lousy part to me, otherwise it was a 10.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Right, so... A lot of people hate this movie because they thought they were gonna be right about every single moment in this movie. We all thought that Snoke would get a backstory, Rey and/or Kylo would switch sides, and that Reys father would be Luke. Instead, Snoke dies, no one turns (in-fact Kylo becomes Supreme leader of the first order), and Reys' parents would be Luke. Honestly, I came out of the theater thinking that this beat the Empire Strikes Back by a mile as the best Star Wars movie. Looking back tho, there is one big flaw with the movie: The Rose and Fin sub plot. In the movie, Fin and Rose go to a luxury planet called Cantonica to find a code breaker to get aboard a Star Destroyer. There it's revealed that underneath the planets first world core is a dark, sinister child slavery underbelly. They also free a bunch of horse animal... things from captivity, and it was VERY preachy about it. There was another scene where Fin was about to sacrifice himself for the resistance, and then all of a sudden, Rose crashes into him, and letting the empire use the Battering Ram Cannon. Ultimately, the subplot seems forced in most cases, was not handled well, and is the only thing keeping this from a 9 or a 10, sadly. But I'm going to say this to my fellow Star Wars fans, STOP OVER REACTING! YOU WERE WRONG, EVERYONE WAS UNPREDICTABLE, GET OVER IT!… Expand

Its called "a movie" lol...people are acting as if Luke Skywalker is a real person lol...this is one of the funniest reaction in movie history. Anyway, this was a great Star Wars film, better than the last one that felt like a complete rehash and copy of every other Star Wars film, and I even liked it a little bit better than TFA. People have complained mostly about their beloved Luke Skywalker and an idealized storyline for him that probably did not come "true" (don't meet your hero's) and other more minor things such as the humor, and lack of in depth explanation on some of the characters. Well the film is 2 1/2 hours I don't think there would be much more time to explain any other characters backstories. That could be a movie unto itself. It works for this film. The humor is a little different than other Star Wars films, instead of Han Solo type sarcasm, there is a more subtle, off-beat, dead-pan humor through-out which I really enjoyed and mostly worked fine. It also focuses a lot on "the force" and uses CGI to show what some of the thought processess of using the force might be like which they of course did not have in 1977 or even 2000. Again...it really worked well and was an interesting take on the subject matter. As is the case with 1980's the Empire Strikes Back...the 2nd one is my favorite in the trilogy and Last Jedi is my favorite Star Wars film of the last decade or more. Unless you project non-sensical images of what a character SHOULD be or SHOULD do and act as if this is life and death and a real person lol...you should enjoy this movie if you reasonably like Star War's films to any degree. 9/10 and up there with the better Star Wars films and possibly the best of the new ones.… Expand

I knew Episode VIII was going to be more divisive than VII because I knew Rian Johnson would never play it as safe as Abrams, and of course because the Internet is full of raging cynics and fanatics. I should be clear that I'm a lifelong fan of the series, but I make an honest effort to not be myopic about it.

Both directors of the new trilogy are huge SW fans, each with a different mission as filmmakers within the series and each with their own sense of style and vision. Compared to Abrams, whose job it was to create new and likeable characters while thrusting them into a fun and familiar Star Wars setting (a job well done IMO), Johnson's job was to continue the arcs of those characters while somehow subverting expectations. I can't speak for other fans, but I had a strong personal need for the saga to expand on its ongoing narratives, themes and character dimensions in ways that were simultaneously new, familiar, interesting and unpredictable. I didn't want just another Empire the way we kinda got just another New Hope. I knew that to do that Johnson would need to take some risks, and as it turns out he took a lot of them with varying degrees of success. Not everything lands how it should've, but all the A-plot stuff with Kylo, Rey, Luke and Leia worked great for me initially and in retrospect.

Without going into too much detail, VIII suffered mostly from one or two of its subplots, namely that of Finn, Rose and DJ. In spite of their subplot's flaws, perhaps the biggest payoff was one in which DJ helps Finn and Rose to understand that war is far more grey and nuanced than they previously realized, and that the concepts of good and evil are maybe a bit more relative than they'd like to think. This is a concept that is echoed in various ways throughout the movie's various arcs, and its a theme I personally adore, but I wish Finn and Rose had come across it in a more fun and concise way.

One of the most common complaints I've seen of this film has to do with it's attempts at humor. Admittedly, I was caught off guard by it near the beginning, but I quickly and effortlessly found myself enjoying it, and did so for the most part for the rest of the film. I'm not sure I understand why the humor didn't land for so many people, at least not beyond the fact that humor is a very subjective construct. The humor of the prequels suffered greatly because it was so infantile and kid-centric. I think people forget how much humor there was in the original trilogy, but it seems to me that the new trilogy hasn't forgotten, nor has it failed to understand what made that humor more successful. The humor simply needs to appeal to the widest possible audience, younglings and oldlings alike. Was some of the humor too “meta” in this film? Who knows. One could easily argue yes or no, but I personally didn't think the humor was specific enough to be truly bad in a meta sense. Overall it seemed fine, and a lot of it got genuine laughs out of me.

I have enormous difficulty taking seriously the opinions of those who say flat out that Episode VIII “sucks” or even of those who somehow loved it unconditionally, although there seem to be far fewer of those in the latter category. Either way, let's not kid ourselves into thinking there has ever been a perfect SW film (although Empire was objectively maybe the closest we'll ever get to one). Empire took plenty of risks that in hindsight paid off beautifully, and I feel quite comfortable saying the same of VIII. As far as risks go, the difference between the two films is that VIII takes maybe one or two too many. Its possible that a few more months in the writer's room probably could have fixed all or most of the film's biggest missteps, but as a realist I understand time isn't always as abundant as we'd like it to be. In the end, The Last Jedi is what it is, and it would have been folly to ever think it could have pleased everyone.

I could follow suit with so many of the Internet's talking heads by nitpicking this film to death, but doing that seems unnecessary and beside the point of cinema. It might be a cynical view, but I think a lot of people kinda enjoy dissecting all the “bad” parts of movies more than losing themselves in all the “good” parts. I simply can't find it within myself to cut off this film's face to spite it's nose like so many people have. When considering the poignantly grey themes of The Last Jedi, doesn't it make more sense to embrace a more “grey” approach to how we experience films? To reference a specific quote from VIII, if darkness rises, shouldn't the light rise to meet it?

With all it's jaw-dropping spectacles, touching character moments and fresh thought-provoking themes, its the sum of Episode VIII's parts that, for me, make it an enjoyable cinematic experience. I have no quibbles about recommending this episode of Star Wars, but I'd try to ignore the Internet's echo chambers. SW is a movie, not a religion.… Expand

- it has a really good, not oboxious humour
- acting (especially of younger members of the cast) is very good (and pay attention to the fact that creating a role in such a hyped movie is a really hard task even for experienced actors)
- it lasts for about 2,5 hours and I wasn't bored all that time, they managed to keep me invested
- it lasts for about 2,5 hours, they could've made a shorter movie and still did great at the box office
- shots in this movie are great, many times very artistic and... static which is actually good in action movie because when action finally breaks in, it feels much more realistic and makes your heart go wild
- it's quite unpredictable but also coherent, you don't feel like "well, that's nice but why they've done this or that, wouldn't it be easier this or that way?"
- thay managed to make a new, nice planet (and it isn't sand or lava, or jungle)
- CGI is very good and used only when needed
- there isn't !@#$ ton of action and pew-pew-pew all the time
- I find it a nice polemic with older Star Wars movies
If it would be the first Star Wars movie I've ever seen this movie would make me feel that SW is a very nice thing to know and would encourage me to watch more. I understand that many people feel anger with it because "it is not the old saga!" and also because a super-corporation like Disney produces it but concidering the fact that there are many movies that try to make money out ONLY from your nostalgia and add nothing to they products (great and sad example is Hobbit - produced by the same company which produced LOTR and directed by the same guy who directed LOTR) but a lot of CGI and running, and action... Star Wars - The Last Jedi is very good example how to deal with such a task without turning it into a mindless pile of references people like.
May the force be with you! Peace! :)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Directed by Rian Johnson Cast (in part) Mark Hamill Luke Skywalker Carrie Fisher Leia Organa Adam Driver Kylo Ren Daisy Ridley Rey John Boyega Finn Oscar Isaac Poe Dameron Andy Serkis Snoke First Thoughts: I was excited to see this film since I’m an original, waiting blocks for the 1977 Star Wars film. And I was NOT disappointed!

Though Rian Johnson’s story and direction are somewhat controversial in some circles, overall I liked the direction we are going in. We left Rey with Luke in The Force Awakens and find Luke as a dissolutioned former Jedi who just wants to die on an island in the armpit of the galaxy far far away. And Rey, shocked by this attitude of a man she’s idolized, tries to wake him up. You can’t walk away from trouble and though you may have inadvertently caused it, you still have responsibility to make it right. I feel that’s the lesson between Luke and Rey.

Legends change – we find anyone can use the Force, not just certain individuals. And Rey has the most sensitivity and the most power, and is on par with her antagonist Kylo Ren. Ren, like Luke, is a torn individual. He has a Force connection with Rey who communicates with him. That Rey tries to see Ren’s side of the story is telling and so is Luke’s tale with a lot to do with his relationship with both Ren and Rey. Flawed characters trying to do what they think is “the best” but eventually Rey decides – in the main throne room of Snoke’s ship. Snoke comes across as a villain who seems to have all the cards in his favor. His Dark Side Force power is more powerful than Rey and Ren. They both have a plan for Snoke. And their lightsaber battle with the Praetorian Guard is worth the price of admission! Forced?

We finally get to see a final confrontation with Ren and Luke Skywalker himself. Luke seems invincible, and Ren wants his blood. How this turns out with shock you. Another controversial scene must do with the remnants of the Rebel Alliance attempting to escape from the First Order armada and are getting picked off, one at a time, as the Rebels limp towards their base. There are side adventures with Rose (new character, she really steps up and takes the film) and her relationship with Finn – at first seems to have hero worship and later saves his life. Final Thoughts”

OK, I’m rambling , but really guys and gals remember this is fiction! Some suspension of disbelief is required. Johnson turns the Force mythology on its ear. And who is the Last Jedi? Can you guess?

Highly recommended!… Expand

The usual themes are still present (family, hope, betrayal, trying to find your place in the universe), but many of the usual Star Wars tropes are gone or subverted. The script really shines, and while the story gets bogged down in places, it is still petty string. Much better than the prequels (people forget just how bad they were), and as good as The Force Awakens. As good as the original trilogy?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the 8th instalment in the saga. Could it be better? Sure. Could it make more sense? Definitively. But there was one thing that it should've gotten right and (surprisingly) it did: direction. The Last Jedi takes the franchise in the right path, managing to give us a wider understanding of the Galaxy and putting the character's humanity at its core. Visuals are flawless, the premise is great and, even if more than one point in the execution feels superficial, the payback seems worthy.… Expand

The visual is, as always, magnificent. Someone's gotta take over the franchise from the Skywalkers and the Solos, and I believe this movie did a great job in doing that. Rey's background is finally unveiled in this episode, and to the surprise of almost everyone, she's a no one (Hey, Darth Vader was a no one too!). That's bold. Luke has become a grudging, pessimistic, war-torn, reluctant old man. That's bold. It was revealed that Luke actually made Kylo Ren and destroyed Ben Solo by trying to kill him after sensing the "great potential for darkness". That's infinitely bold. Alright, there are indeed some dumb moments in this one, like the way Leia all of sudden was able to harness the force to safe herself, or the absolute zero chemistry of Finn and Rose (That awkward kiss tho...), or the occasional dry, unfunny jokes. But the only people that got ticked and enraged by Episode VIII are Star Wars nerds and fanboys. For me, as a general moviegoer, "The Last Jedi" is as good as any Star Wars movie can be. I like especially the dark turn of Luke's story arc and how he, Rey, and Kylo Ren questioned their integrity and moral values, how blurred the line can be between good and evil. This is a deep, provoking (For the better or worse), insightful movie that's worth the admission.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked this movie, as I liked The Force Awakens. Now I must say that I'm not someone who is familiar with the full lore of Star Wars (I've only seen the 9 movies multiple times). I especially liked the visuals and some of the more poetic moments (Leia's flight but also the silence after the push to light-speed by Holdo), and the Luke part was all quite great as were the action sequences. As many others, I disliked the casino scenes and even in general, the new characters do not bring any value (Rose is irritating as is DJ's stuttering). I don't really understand the ongoing discussion about Snoke. Some people seem to think that Rian didn't like the character and so he killed him off. This is of course complete bs, do you really think Disney doesn't have a clear 3-movie arc for Snoke...? It has become quite impossible to make a Star Wars movie which pleases all due to the contradictive expectations. Looking forward to IX and the following trilogy (and the Han Solo spin off).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am not some crazy fanboy, I just love movies and I really don't understand why so many people is upset... This movie was great. How can you hate a movie like this? There was jokes in serious moments? Yes there were few of them, but all of you forget the original trilogy, if you watch them again, humor is also present in serious situations, oh yes it is, maybe in old fashion but yes. I totally understand why Luke acted the way he did, and I loved the way he died, like Obi Wan and Yoda. The only thing I did not like about this movie was how Leia survived that attack at the beginning, I mean I know it is a fantasy, but again it was to much. And also, I wanted to see more from C3PO, R2D2 and Chewie cuzz everytime I see them there is a smile on my face. For me, this movie takes place behind episode 4 and 5, on third position. This is just my opinion... :) I know I will get a lot of dislikes, but it is okay, I just wanted to share this with you guys, there is still a hope inside me. May the force be with you...

You theorize every little detail in the movies and trailers and set your expectations over the sun and then you wonder why you hated it. YOU are the reason that you hate this movie, not Rian Johnson. Anyways, now onto the review. The Last Jedi improves on the Force Awakens in many ways except pacing. This movie is a fresh new take on Star Wars that is incredibly entertaining and incredibly smart. This movie finally does what the other films preach about and it tells us to leave the past behind. It's important but the future is just as important. Now, the only reason why I like the Force Awakens more is that it has better pacing.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally! A Star Wars Movie that is fun to watch, that dares to take new directions in this old, old Galaxy! I understand all the hate this movie is getting as it basicly tells all the fanatics that they were wrong, that there is no God, that Luke is not a hero, he is a person, a broken one and that the Force is not exclusive to a specific bloodline or immaculate conception (Anakin). For me, I think of it as a new beginning for the franchise, the one where Skywalker dynasty is not in the center of entire Galaxy and the Galaxy, the real people, start to fight for their own. Plotholes? When You disagree with the direction You will find them everywhere this is not an issue here, as they were not an issue in Empire Strikes Back. I recommend everyone to watch this movie, You will not be dissapointed! I only hope that creators will not chicken out and will continue to - boldly go where no one has gone before ;)… Expand

У этих пидарасов всё, что не оригинальная трилогия, то говно. Обоснуйте объективно, чем вам не понравился фильм? Актёрская игра? Нет, это кино за 200 миллионов бакосв, здесь по умолчанию отличная актёрская игра. Сюжет? А чем он плох? Несколько сюжетных линий, развивающихся параллельно, пересекающихся и в конце концов сводящиеся воедино. Прямо как в ваших любимых Мстителях, что тут не так? Раскрыли характеры новых персонажей, уже знакомых показали с других сторон. Или по вашему Люку не свойственно боятся и переживать? Это абсолютный герой, которому чуждо всё человеческое? Быть может, если вы так думаете, проблема в вас? Экшен? Качественный и изобретательный, приятно смотреть и осознавать, что фильм не состоит на 100% из одних только перестрелок, как ебучие Трансформеры или Форсаж.

Так в чём проблема? А проблема в вас. Ведь в кой-то век вас поставили на место, дав понять, что угождать вам вечно не собираются. "Всё должно быть по канону!", но почему канон нельзя менять или дополнять, дав взглянуть на известную сагу по новому? "Новые персонажи -- говно, раньше были лучше!". Будем честны, если поменять местами персонажей и трилогии, вы бы сказали то же самое. Дефолтные "они плохо раскрыты", я не принимаю. В течение двух фильмов стали ясны их характеры, взгляды, при том, что они не перестают преподносить сюрпризы.

Так что я, не являясь большим поклонником фильмов этой серии, конкретных актеров или режиссёра, и, соответственно, не имея явных причин защищать этот фильм, говорю: С КАКОЙ ТОЧКИ ЗРЕНИЯ НЕ ПОДОЙДИ, ЭТО, КАК МИНИМУМ, ХОРОШЕЕ КИНО, СТОЯЩЕЕ 300 РУБЛЕЙ ЗА БИЛЕТ И 2,5 ЧАСОВ ЖИЗНИ, БОЛЬШЕ, ЧЕМ ЛЮБОЙ ВЫСЕР MARVEL.

Yes this is a different Star Wars movie. "Things are not going to go the way you think" Many of the reviewers on the site are salty that their theories didn't come true, and that Luke was a hermit to begin with and not a Grand Master Jedi that the Expanded Universe originally wrote him as. Although, yes he is that, but that comes before this movie. Before the sequels (Although the flashbacks do help show that) Luke is now ashamed for what happened to Kylo, he feels responsible, and hurt. He feels like he let down Leia and everyone else. He has taken full responsibility for it all, he has gone to the island of the first jedi temple to simply get out of the way and die. But that is until Rey find him, at first yes he is unwilling to teach he, but then he agrees, now I cannot wait to see him return in Episode 9 as a force ghost and see Rey take over, who is the true last jedi, and teach a new generation of Jedi. She has the books, Lukes saber, and she is ready to take the screen and fulfill her destiny. Yes at first glance Snoke is a bit of a waste. Most people salty that he wasn't Bane or the Emperor, but it doesn't really matter who he is, or if he comes back or who he was. Kylo Ren has overpowered his master, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, but Snoke was arrogant, and didn't count on Kylo betraying him. Adam Driver did a fantastic job at portraying this. You think he will turn and help Rey, but he tricks her, and try to turn her. All I can say is this film was fantastic. The funniest thing about this movie is how salty people are that their fanfics didn't come true!… Expand

The array of female performers, maybe more than any Star Wars film to date, in particular shine in Episode XIII, the late Carrie Fisher getting a more substantial and interesting role than in Episode VII, and Daisy Ridley as Rey continuing her strong-willed, fascinating arc into potential Jedi-hood. And out of a nice array of new characters in important parts two are female. This film is well pieced together with drama, humor, and wonder, and both with freshness and familiarity. It’s an exciting, intriguing journey the whole way through. The Last Jedi tops The Force Awakens in many respects, and ranks among the best science fiction films I have seen in recent years.… Expand

I know this film is very controversial. There are choices I feel were misguided. But at the end of the day, I justWarning: This review doesn't contain any spoilers per se, but it does mention stuff you specifically won't find in the movie.

I know this film is very controversial. There are choices I feel were misguided. But at the end of the day, I just came to be entertained and the film was very good at that.

It looks great with some visually arresting shots and sets. Snoke's throne room and the salt planet are especially eye-catching. Action is very impressive, including one of the best fight sequences in Star Wars.

The cast is all likable. Especially liked the new character of Rose whose determinism contrasts well with the reluctant Finn. Dialogue is good.

One of the strongest aspects of this film is that director Rian Johnson manages to defy expectations about what will happen. On the other hand, he seems so intent to go his own direction that he fumbles a little with carrying on the plot. He seems almost resistant to continue what JJ Abrahams set up in the last film. You still don't learn Supreme Leader Snoke's origins. Not even a single line of dialogue. (Though I'm not entirely hating the character even if he is a clone of Emperor Palpatine. He's got a bit of style and drive to him.) The Knights of Ren are barely mentioned. Supposedly the First Order has several force-using fighters, so where are they? Phasma was set up in the first film to be a big villain, but she is barely in this. Unlike some people, I don't mind the casino planet and the Resistance infighting. (Though I do agree that the reasoning of the rebel upper command could have been better reasoned.) Still, I think those subplots could have been easily shortened.

I get that a lot of fans may feel betrayed, but I found this to be a stylish sci-fi action film.… Expand

I LOVED this movie so much more than Force Awakens, i cried, i laughed, and I THOUGHT during the whole thing, i felt Luke's pain and suffering, and Rey's void and feeling of being lost in the universe. When she says the Resistance needs you to Luke, you know she just wants to get the answers she has spent her whole life wondering about. Even Canto Bight, despite some awkward scenes was just fine, it did what it did, and we moved on, there is a rich class in the SW Universe, and they profit off war. Even better, we didnt even the code breaker we went there for, we got the criminal. Nothing happened the way you expected it to, and it was great! The longer i watched, the more i realised i had no control over where it was going, and man is that cool, i like a good story that i feel i have to read to know what happens next. For instance, had Luke been over-powered and Goku-level strength, i would have been ok with it, but i would have left the theatre thinking "oh yeh, duh, luke strong", but instead i left the movie thinking 'Luke loved the lives of others so much, that he removed himself from the universe to prevent the death and suffering of more people, in hopes that the Jedi/Sith issue would go away"...i think alot of the people who have been into star wars for years just wanted fan service, as if they deserved the reward for being fans, but being a fan of sports team means you stay onboard even when they dont win the world series every year. So ignore the people who were disappointed here, some make good points, but a low rating is not deserved for this movie, it really was very good.… Expand

Some parts are pretty dumb and so are some characters but the action scenes make up for it, and really that's the only reason I watch star wars.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, I'm glad that the story isn't a rip-off from Episode 5. After watching Episode 7, I thought Episode 8 would have a lot of similarities with Episode 5. I became more confident with my assumption after watching the last trailer when there was a scene of Walkers on a white surface (which I thought would be a copy of the Hoth Battle in Episode 5.). On the opening crawl of the movie, it says the Ressistance were being invaded by the First Order, which I thought is a sign that the movie would be like Episode 5 when the Rebel base was invaded by the Empire.

It turned out, the story is almost completely different from Episode 5 and I was so glad it wasn’t a rip-off like Episode 7. They have brought something totally fresh and new to the Star Wars franchise. It’s filled with complexity, character transformations, and a lot of plot twists.

Speaking of plot twist, there’s a hell lot of them. For instance, I didn’t expect Snoke to be killed so early. I thought he would survive until the last movie (Episode 9). I was also really surprised that Rey’s parents turned out to be ordinary people. No one ever thought of that ! I love how Kylo and Luke told the same story about the murder attempt in different perspectives. There’s a bit of noir element in the story.

I find the directing and writing style to be rather childish. Lots of camera zoom-ins, lots of comical jokes (which is not my type of humor), lots of parodies. I would say it’s made to be enjoyable for young kids, more so than the other Star Wars movies.

Some scenes and features are quite unnecessary for the plot. For instance, the story could’ve carried on the same way without having the casino scene. I also think a lot of the things are too overdone and some are obviously made to please the fans. Leia flying in space is too excessive and it makes force-users seem less exclusive. The part when Walkers were attacking Luke's hologram is too childish and it makes me question Johnson's maturity. And why did Luke suddenly died for no reason ? It doesn't make sense. Spirit Yoda summoning lightning is just too much for me to handle.

The characters are made sillier and more naive in this movie. For instance, after Luke was watching a nostalgic holographic video of Leia asking for help, he decided to change his mind immediately. It's amazing how a single nostalgic moment can radically change his decision. The part when was Snoke teasing Kylo constantly is also very childish.

Another complain that I have is the design. For instance, Snoke's room is too bright and cheerful-looking instead of dark and gloomy like what villain lairs should look like. I also don't like how Snoke was wearing a golden-colored clothes instead of black like in Episode 7. Some clothes in the casino planet look too much like in real life for a Star Wars movie. Overall, there are a lot of things to love and hate about this movie. I love the acting performance, the plot twists, the cinematography, and its innovation. On the other hand, it's filled with too much fan service, has some useless characters and plots (if not, annoying), and the directing/writing style is too naive for me to handle. I also think the movie could've been a lot better with shorter duration, especially with the absence of casino scenes.… Expand

It might even be better than Return of the Jedi. The vitriol surrounding this film stems from a disappointment that Luke didn't hold up to expectations built by the now de-canonized expanded universe novels. He's not the perfect superhuman here, which creates a far more compelling story of faith lost and regained. Look beyond the fanboy rage here, this is not only peak Star Wars, this is a great story of the reckless new generation finding their roles as leaders and taking charge.… Expand

Widespread critical acclaim was warranted. While the online reviews from fans got bombarded with haters, they don't really reflect how the broad audience felt about this movie. It's phenomenal and the majority of people who watched it agreed - just most can't be bothered to write a review like this.

The people who hated it (and bombarded user review sites) fall into three categories:

#1 - They didn't get it. They don't understand the character of Luke and can't come to grips with the fact this portrayal made perfect sense. They have an idealized idea of who the character was from their childhood and can't understand that the character always was deeply flawed and human.

#2 - They are borderline sexist/racist. No way around it, but the tiny irrelevant pocket of people who hated this movie (the thousands of haters out of 150 million that saw it and loved it) often cite their frustrations with having female leads, an asian character or some perceived political agenda. These people are idiots and can safely be ignored.

#3 - They have just grown out of Star Wars in general. No shame in that. Some of these grown adults nitpick details of this movie without doing the same to the originals. The originals are packed full of plot holes, nonsense, and childish humor - because Star Wars was and has always been a series primarily made for children. The tiny group of people who hated this movie are mainly projecting frustration with the fact their adulthood has robbed them of the sense of wonder that makes this series so delightful and enjoyable for the millions of people who still love it.… Expand

movieguy24601Feb 10, 2019

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, since a year has passed since one of the most decisive movies ever has come on out, and I've decided to finally review it. Why? I know for a fact this review will be down voted because it's a positive review, I know for a fact i'll be hated for loving this movie, but you know what? This is my review. I know it won't change anything, I know it's just one review, but it is my review, and like those who have given this movie a "10", and a "0", my voice will be heard as well. This is not the worst movie ever made by human beings, this is not the soulless cash grab the world has created, but it is NOT the best Star Wars movie, it most definitely has flaws, and it is far from a perfect movie, but with all that being said, it is still strong. Yes, the opening crawl isn't that good, I think setting it a few days after "The Force Awakens" wasn't an advantage, but after this crawl, we get John Williams amazing score blasting with a gorgeous trumpet chant, and, in my opinion, a funny joke from Poe, and Hux. I much prefer Poe to be a jokester, rather than no nonsense, because A. We have Hux to play the straight man to all of this, and B. Oscar Issacs delivers this moment very well. I think it's alright to laugh in a Star Wars movie, if Han Solo taught us anything. We then get an impressive space battle, and yes I've heard the complaints of the bombs dropping in space, and how the defy the laws of physics, but this is a universe where Lightsabers exist (which defy the laws of physics), and their exists an energy in this universe which allows people to lift rocks, and bend people's minds with the slight of a hand, so pardon me if my suspension of disbelief is a bit more for me to see if this universe didn't create technology to drop bombs in space. Also here, we get a beautiful moment where we see Rose's sister make a heroic sacrifice, and it's done with little to no dialogue, which is the strength of Star Wars.

I know people have a problem with how Luke is portrayed, but it makes sense. How else would you act if you had failed your nephew, and you lost all your students when you were supposed to be the one who were to make them become the next guardians? I know Mark Hamill said he didn't agree with the choices made for Luke, however A. He later stated he was happy with how the film turned out (Amazing how people forget to include that part) and B. Sorry, he's just the actor. Sure he originated the role, but their were other actors who played Luke after him, and their will be more after him. He doesn't get a say over this character, unless he was the writer, and director. That's how it is in Television, Film, Theatre, and Voice Over. I will admit, I will agree with those who don't like this movie about the casino scene, but I won't lie, I am impressed by the mix of practical and CGI, and this obviously took a lot of time and effort to make. The one criticism i'm shocked by is how people don't like Luke's ability to use the force, but what happened if we said the force can't shoot lightning, or couldn't bring down entire ships? We limit what this all powerful force can do. Saying Luke, one of the most powerful Jedi, and THE SON OF ANAKIN SKYWALKER, can't force project himself the across the galaxy is on par with saying the Aliens in "Signs" weakness is wood, and water, it just makes no sense. Look, if you hated this movie, I'm sorry you had such a terrible time, and felt the need to blow up about it, and I hope you won't be this upset again. I will not however agree with how people are treated. I have a friend who was an extra on this movie, and she told me entire shooting days took longer than they should because Rian Johnson was meticulous about everything, he even looked at every extra's costume so a clear character was shining through them. He also loved using practical effects, and she said she saw many people wanting him to use CGI, but he felt it wouldn't be a Star Wars movie if they did so. I will admit, some of the stuff he has said, like the "Your Snoke theory is wrong", is definitely not cool, but anyone in his position would be fighting back, especially if death threats were received. I love this movie, and that's where I stand, and I'm super excited for Episode IX, and I know fans are making wonderful films like 'Star Wars Theory's' Vader film (still waiting for part 2). I'm happy with what i'm getting from both fans, and Disney, and in the end, was I entertained? The answer is yes. Thank you for reading, and may the force be with you.… Expand

I'm gonna leave it at this, the movie has potential if the movie was edited differently and certain scenes were cut out and some deleted scenes were placed in the place of those scenes. If the casino scene sequence was cut, and Rose ended up being a hacker who was once a criminal and gets them onto Snoke's ship. So, with that there would be extra time to insert the deleted scene when Rey runs to the village she thought was in danger and has a nice dialogue scene with Luke. The Last Jedi, while I didn't like it at first, could've been made better if a few changes were made that would've been easy to make. I'm not part of the toxic fan base that claims this ruined Star Wars, I just think that Rian Johnson would've been a great anthology film director and J.J. Abrams should've directed the whole trilogy. This is actually what I think LucasFilm wanted, and J.J. didn't want to direct them, good thing he's back. So all in all, The Last Jedi is a decent and confidently made, but fails to remember that part of making Star Wars is fan service. I want to see Rian Johnson come back and prove himself with an anthology film, which I believe he is better suited for. Maybe bring him on to write the Obi-Wan movie with Ewan McGregor and let him make an Oscar worthy movie with good action, like Looper.… Expand

Obviously this isn't a perfect movie, nor a great movie, I personally think that it's far from being as good as Empire, New Hope or even The Force Awakens, but this is still a really competent movie in many aspects including the writing, the acting, the special effects and the score.

The acting is really solid, mainly because of the direction, let's admit it, Mark Hamill is a very average actor, but thanks to a good direction, he gave a really good performance, same thing with most of the cast. The writing is competent, granted, not great or anything. The visual effects are amazing just like the previous movie and the score...Come on, it's a Star Wars score.

Let's now get into some of the flaws:

First, there are pointless subplots that could've been cut or could've been shorter, like the Casino scene, everyone says it's a pointless scene and I agree.

Then we have the character development, most of the characters don't get any development and they basically stay the same as in the last movie, I didn't learn anything new from characters like Finn, Poe or Snoke who are wasted in this movie. New characters like Rose are really forgettable (I don't hate the actress like many of you a**holes did, she did the best with the material she had which was very poor, and yes, I agree that this character did the stupidest thing in the movie). But we get a new character arc for Luke and Rey. Hate me, but I loved Luke's character. It seems like all of you expected a Luke like from the comic books or other non-film Star Wars media, that's an overpowered wise man, but that would've been the most boring and predictable thing in the world, so it's refreshing to see this character in that "leave me alone, I'm tired of all that Jedi stuff" mood. He was honestly the best character of the movie, the best written and developed character.

So, that's The Last Jedi for me. It's not a great movie, it's a really good movie from a filmmaking perspective. I like Star Wars movies, I'm not a hardcore fan so I could give a flying sh*t about the comic books and all that stuff, what really matters to me are the movies and The Last Jedi is certainly a really good entry, not as good as The Force Awakens or Empire, but certainly BETTER than the prequels, you wanna know why? There's no bad acting, there's no cringeworthy writing, there's no "I don't like sand", there's no overuse of CGI that makes the movie look like a Playstation game...So yes, hate this review all you want, but you must stop using your fanboy glasses and admit that this is far from being the worst Star Wars movie, RELAX!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this movie. It's been over a year and a half since it was released. I'm writing this because as soon as I got out of the avant premiere, the hype didn't let me think clearly because I loved it too much. I think Rian Johnson's proposal was very well captured and gave it its own identity in colors, dramatic tensions, unexpected twists and giving us an important reflection on what "force" means. A blow to the center of the jedi ego. And Luke understood that well and his omnipresence levitating in a Zen position left me with an image that was engraved forever. But it is not the only one, this film is full of glorious moments. 1. The beginning is powerful and reaffirms the concept of resistance and sacrifices for an ideal, as with Rose's sister. It also shows us the risk of a badly planned attack with Poe at the head and that Leia lets him know. 2. Leia using force (helped by Luke). Although this scene was not well achieved from the visual point of view, it was a blow for those of us who thought we were losing one of the banners of resistance. 3. The mental encounters between Kylo and Rey gave an unknown and quite interesting dimension to the connection between two people who feel with great power the force. The dupla that both generate is very powerful. 4. The encounters and disagreements of Rey with the Force. Visually it was wonderful as Luke lets him know how the force is present in everything and that it is not something that is dominated, but something that is internalized. Rey lived it from both good and evil. 5. Snoke's death and Kylo's battle with Rey united and then facing each other. I can see that scene over and over and always end up amazed. It is one of the epic moments and again in colour, dramatic tension and the batten fights themselves make it spectacular. One of the turns that tells us that Snoke was not as powerful as he made himself look (and that with the trailer of episode 9 can be confirmed) and in which you don't know what will happen. I'm sure we all think that Rey could join Kylo in that fragment of tension. Very well accomplished all this. 6. Linked to the previous scene. The collision of the resistance cruiser with the new order cruiser at the speed of light was PRECIOUS. The intensity of the scene added to the tension of the encounter between Luke and Rey. Epic moments in a battle that gave no dramatic truce.

However, I think that, despite the good I pointed out, the film falls into two big problems. The first has to do with the risky presentation of a skeptical Luke who apparently gave up. As for the substance of what I wanted to convey I think the message was fine, but it didn't look genuine. Not at least the Luke we knew. That's why a lot of the fans were disappointed. However, I don't find that it takes the strength out of the film, because clearly it wasn't about the old glories anymore and the dialogue with Yoda I think fixes that risky and controversial decision a bit.

The second problem has to do with gaps in the script and the loose presentations of Finn and Rose's story and their search in Kanto Byte. Seeing it in retrospect ends up being left over in the film. Sub-Admiral Holdor was clear from the start about her sacrifice without telling anyone. Thus, the intervention of these characters became irrelevant, even the fight with Phasma. Finn might even have saved the day with his sacrifice, but Disney was not able to make that decision. The kiss that the characters give each other feels very foreign and out of place to what was happening in the film.

The third problem has to do with disney humor. The dramatic tensions were very well achieved and within the epic of the projection of Luke's strength, when he is shot from the AT-AT and dust is shaken when nothing happens to him, he felt little serious and that bothered me.

Taking stock, and exactly 7 months before the release of episode IX, I think it's a film, because of the low, controversial about Luke's treatment and the stories of Finn and Rose. In the rest, I feel it's a great movie and very entertaining. The tension between Kylo and Rey stands out above all else. The meaning of the "force" is a direct nod to what Yoda and Obi Wan once taught Luke and the message of endurance is more than recorded with the final scene of the boy who brings the broom closer by the force. It was never necessarily a matter of being pre-terminated, but a matter of learning.… Expand

Bold, smart, rich with story and character depth, Johnson understands the heart of Star Wars goes beyond its superficial iconography. While a tad overlong and a bit messy at times (though never sloppy), The Last Jedi hits where it counts, and features some of the best material this franchise has seen since The Empire Strikes Back.… Expand

Amazing movie! Definitely the best of sequels. It was refreshing to watch some star wars content where I couldn't guess what would happen. Sadly episode IX kinda ruined the whole trilogy...

Best Star Wars film since Empire. Subverts expectations and takes the franchise to interesting places.

Gorgeous, moving, complex film that ties deeply into the core of what Star Wars is as a franchise. I agree with Mark Hamill that this is "probably the most sophisticated Star Wars movie since Empire."

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel like this movie has a lot of interesting themes and characters. I just wish the movie fit the trilogy more cohesively. Some of the highest highs in the series with the Holdo Maneuver and Luke force projecting. But I wish Finn and Rey had more screen time together and more important ties. Do not like the romance between Kylo and Rey at all. that would be my least favorite part.… Expand

Saying this movie is perfect would be an overstatement, it has a few quirks here and there. But in the realms of the Star Wars saga, it 100% is. The Last Jedi is everything a Star Wars movie is/should be, and goes even beyond that. Its themesSaying this movie is perfect would be an overstatement, it has a few quirks here and there. But in the realms of the Star Wars saga, it 100% is. The Last Jedi is everything a Star Wars movie is/should be, and goes even beyond that. Its themes are woven into the fabric of the story, so that while the plot moves forwards there isn't a single moment on screen that does not teach our characters a lesson - or shows that they have failed at learning one. Mark Hamill delivers his best performance as Luke in what is, in my opinion, one of the best takes on bringing back a legacy character to a sequel. Even better: the movies takes unexpected turns for the viewer, that yet make perfect sense for the characters. Contrary to what has been said too many times, it follows perfectly and expands upon most of what was set up in The Force Awakens, while pulling the saga forwards in new thematic directions.… Expand
