Rian Johnson is a complete A$$ destroyed all story and plot elements established in previous films and left it almost no where to go now. DISGRACEFUL what they did to Mark Hamills character Luke Skywalker. He clearly hated the direction of his character and the movies, what a waist no imagination what so ever. I do not care about any of the remaining characters, even Rey isnt related to anyone she is a nobody, so why should we give a Shi* No point going into any more details this movie was disgusting, hopefully J.J. Abrams can fix this cluster FUC* for the last movie. RIAN JOHNSON should never have anything to do with any movies or tv shows or any form of entertainment ever again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not entirely convinced that the public version of this movie wasn't some sort of prank, or Russian-hacked re-edit of the movie the critics saw. I find there to be no way that the critics could have watched the same movie the viewing public did and come away with the reaction they had.

Heading into the movie, I was excited (as I am any time I see a Star Wars movie or show, but in this case reviews were saying it was the best Star Wars movie ever). It started poorly, with the first scene feeling straight out of a sci-fi B-movie: walk toward camera, react as an amateur to something in the distance. Not promising. Between that point and the bridge being flushed out into space, all was well. Then...it started to go off the rails.

In a gut wrenching moment, Kylo Ren decides not to destroy his mother. He and two other tie fighters PENETRATE THE SHIELDS (emphasis added as I feel this is REALLY important) and do damage to the frigate. Kylo backs off, his emotions intervening. His wingmen do not, and they fire their torpedoes. In what seemed to be a masterful moment, Leia looks at the audience, almost as to say "you know what's happening. I know what's happening. Goodbye." She is then flushed into space with other heros, but the screen was centered on her. My stomach turned in a beautiful moment shared with the audience. She was lost standing up for the rebellion. My mind would always capture her in defiance, stoic, a hero.

Moments later, the force flutters around her. With no explanation, she is able to extend her hand and guide herself back to an airlock. Where others saw Mary Poppins, I saw what looked to me to be a witch riding a broom. This was horribly insulting. How can she have the wear-with-all to be basically dead and force-force herself back to life and then pull into an airlock? She couldn't have summoned the force to help prevent the entire bridge from being blown into space? I just don't understand how this was a good story decision, a good aesthetic decision, or just plain a decision. The actress DIED. The audience who loves her knows she's dead in real life. But you decided to do what doctors in real life couldn't and bring her back to life in the single cheesiest way possible? How was this a thing? How could the multitude of critics who saw this not cringe?

Lets move past that. The pursuit sequence is what really kills the pace and the narrative for me. It seems clear that a narrative platform was necessary to draw the length of the movie out to allow for the more epic and enjoyable aspects of this movie, which is a shame. There was no need for this, nor the explication involved.

I didn't count exactly how many there were, but there were at least 5 star destroyers with the main ship. They were doing nothing. The pursuit of two rebel support ships and the main frigate hinges on three things: lack of fuel on the part of the rebels, lack of speed on the part of the First Order due to the size of their ships, and the point of diminishing return on the power of the First Order weapons. Those three facts alone are fine. But the 5+ star destroyers doing nothing? They can't jump to light speed and come out in front of the rebel retreat, establish a blockade, and allow the main ship to go in for the kill? Were they running out of fuel too? The rebels were, so what was the plan to get to Crait? They had to limp along until they were JUST in range? But this wasn't shared with high-level staff members? So no one but Leia and the admiral knew the plan? If they had just SHARED that plan, we wouldn't have to sit through the agonizing sequences at Canto Bight. Which, from a narrative perspective, could have been saved by placing a code breaker on one of the rebel ships - a more plausible sub-plot, which wouldn't have squandered Finn - one of the best recent Star Wars characters - on a mission which had a zero-sum impact on the overall story. Canto-Bight itself was just a dull waste of time to extend this to the longest Star Wars movie ever, for poor, poor reasons. The arc caused Finn, Rose, BB-8, and Phasma into scenarios which felt like they were intentional but irrelevant fan services and did nothing for the story.

Canto-Bight and flying-space-Leia unfortunately detract from excellent action and interesting storylines of Rey, Luke, Chewie, and Snoke. If time spent on Canto-Bight removed time from Snoke's backstory or explaining how Rey was retrieved by Chewie and the Falcon, then I'll be especially angry.

There are additional plot holes. There are additional disappointments. But these are the best I can do in 5000 characters. I wanted to love this movie and I've been in a funk since seeing it. The Force Awakens, for all of its comparable motions toward the original trilogy, was tight, dark, added to the Star Wars universe, and left us wanting and wondering. The Last Jedi taints what was started there. I'd allow a mulligan on this movie if they could recut it into something consistent.… Expand

Or lets you are just a fan of the movies, meaning all seven then you should still disagree with the choices made for this episode. Only people I see liking this movie are those who never seen Star Wars or know absolutely nothing about the cannon. Sad cause this director took years upon years of not only a great series but beliefs that have been developed for some people most of their lives and basically through it out the window. I'm surprised Disney allowed these type of changes. After all of the work put into tying the cartoons like Rebels and The Clone Wars alongside the movies, THEN to allow this tragedy to occur is ridiculous and sad. The excuse of stating we are trying to get away from the Skywalker era is poor, you can easily do so and make still make it interesting. I mean even Star Wars Rogue which was a hit had only one Sith appear and was only for a short time and was done so in order to tie it in with another movie. I honestly just do not understand why this was allowed to happen, shame on you Disney and thanks Rian you are now part of JJ Abrams, I am here to destroy legendary hits.… Expand

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

Sections of the press would seem to believe that I am incapable of forming a coherent opinion about why this film is bad without frothing at the mouth and failing my arms in some sort of uncouth misogynistic rage so lets have a go shall we.Sections of the press would seem to believe that I am incapable of forming a coherent opinion about why this film is bad without frothing at the mouth and failing my arms in some sort of uncouth misogynistic rage so lets have a go shall we.

The film is composed rather unconventionally of a 1st half followed by a 3rd act. Suspension of disbelief is obliterated in the fist 10 minutes before the typical narrative structure gives way to several barely coherent threads that eventually result in everyone turning up at the same place, at the same time, but are otherwise entirely unrelated.

Luke doesn't seem to know what his own motivations are, nor Ray her reason for seeking him out other that he is apparently space Jesus. The ticking clock set up to give other characters a sense of urgency is so woefully contrived it has you wondering how the first order could conquer their way out of a wet paper bag. Vice-admiral "I'm in charge here boys" was played as a super **** for the sole purpose of the "but she was right all along" moment, except she wasn't, and could have eliminated a full 1/3rd of the movie by taking 20 seconds out her time to explain her plan to the one senior staff member who bothered to ask.

The film is plagued throughout with people just kinda showing up where they're needed. The sort of things that niggle at you "how did he get back on the ship" etc, and could easily have been cleared up with 5 seconds of footage but nay that was too much like coherent story telling. The disparate threads that make up the bulk of the movie veer from being far too vague and hand-wavy to being overly specific and come off as badly written fan fiction. The author only seeing fit to focus on the bits that interest them personally and glossing over the bulk of the actual story telling.


The third and only act is a great visual spectacle, with genuinely high stakes, although the whole setting it up as Hoth 2.0 and then lampshading the same just came off as trying too hard.

The only saving grace is that Kylo "petulant emo kid" Ren is by far the most complex and interesting character the series has seen for a long time, and is for me at least now the main box-office draw. Also the visuals, which are exactly as flashy and expensive as you expect them to be.… Expand

After a plodding 2 and a half hour run-time, The Last Jedi leaves those characters at nearly an identical spot to which they started, only now with a sense of apathy from the audience.

This is not a good movie. This will be kept spoiler free, which will keep things shorter, as there is no need to get into specifics (which could be literally every scene), but this movie suffers from awful writing and structure. Few scenes are established, most characters/actions don't matter, and throughout the entire film for nearly every Rebel action you could ask, "Why are they doing this again? What's the point", and each time The First Order is on the screen you could ask, "Why don't they just...?". It's a shame because there are some worthwhile scenes in the films final act, but by that point all the flaws have added up to a point where it's tough to care about anything or anyone on the screen.

It really feels like the Rey/Kylo/Luke story was the only idea for the movie and every other scene was pieced together around it, each created by a different person, the day before production began.

The Last Jedi is not a good movie. It's frustrating to think that anyone that watches it from a critical standpoint could possibly argue otherwise. It fails as a captivating and coherent story on the most basic of levels (Writing 101 level stuff). It's not simply a story decision, or one issue people are nitpicking, there are over a dozen major plot/structure/tone issues, etc and if you want to delve further into those I would suggest reading the more lengthy spoiler reviews. Full Disclosure - I was planning on rating the movie a 4, but for some reason 4 = Yellow. I think this movie deserves a negative review, so i bumped it down to 3 to adhere to metacritic's rankings system.… Expand

Why does this movie exist? What's that you say? To further develop and play out characters and situations that started in the previous episodeHere's what I think of SW8 without spoiling any of the movie for those who want to see it anyway.
Why does this movie exist? What's that you say? To further develop and play out characters and situations that started in the previous episode while carefully handling beloved characters that have been used throughout the entire series? Don't expect to see too much of that.
I don't think this director has ever watched all the Star Wars movies. This movie has little and desperately needs soul, heart, and drama. If you can get past the slapstick humor(why is that in here?), characters behaving completely un-characteristically, and plot devices that have no business being in this movie, there are some absolutely beautiful cinematic imagery on display here. Most of the moments that should have been very dramatic, sentimental, and emotional were completely mishandled and shallow. All the care that Abrams(SW7) and Edwards(R1) put into continuing this story arc is completely wasted here on comedic devices.
Where does the series go from this one? I can't even imagine. Still not the worst part of this series. Episode 2 takes that crown for me.… Expand

This movie, makes it so that there is no reason you should want to see episode 9. SPOILERS! All major villains are dead. Snoke dead, Phasma dead. Kylo Ren, not dead, but has already lost in both movies. So what are you expecting to happen in the final one. And even if all the above somehow come back to life and are EPIC AND POWERFUL, They will just lose. So its biggest sin without writing 100 paragraphs is that it ruined Episode 9.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you're a fan of the originals, you'll probably be disappointed. Horrible dialogue, no real plot line, still no background to the characters (unless you believe Kylo Ren, in which case it's a waste of a storyline), pointless filler, pointless action (crashing a ship into another to save Finn who miraculously has not a scratch on him), Leia is now Superman? I personally will not be seeing the third installment. This is clearly a case of getting you hooked in the first one, but not revealing much in the second so now you have to see the third one for closure. Only I bet there won't be any closure except in the 100's of offshoots they make as they milk the franchise for all its worth. I've only ever liked one thing that JJ Abrams has ever touched, and director Rian Johnson has shown himself to be a real jerk when interacting with fans via twitter.

To those who say that the originals were just as goofy, etc., yes I agree. However, kids who watched the originals back in the day are adults now, and if they wanted to do something different, they could have gone down a path to make it more "adult". An example would be Christopher Nolan's Batman vs the garbage from the late-80s & 90s. I understand Disney bought the franchise, Disney makes kids movies, yada yada, but they could have expanded their business model and broadened their portfolio.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

I only heard vague sentiments that critics loved the film, which undeniably excited me, but holy moly, I could not disagree more with the critics reception. First off, many of the interesting plot threads created in the Force Awakens like who are Rey's parents, what happened to Luke Skywalker, the greatly anticipated return of Luke Skywalker to the resistance, and developing Phasma and Snokes into a menacing antagonist are all fumbled here to my great disappointment. To my shock, the director and writers instead chose to pursue new and much less interesting subplots involving Finn, Rose, and how the crew of the resistance flag ship handles an 18 hour chase sequence when low on fuel. I would strongly discourage anyone other than dedicated fans of the series to see this in theaters and rent this film. It's simply not worth the price of admission.… Expand

I've waited many years to review this film which emotionally left me hollow on opening weekend. It actually upset me in a way which I can't quite express. Like no other sw film , even the prequels.

As a sci-fi fan and a movie fan and a star wars fan I can't help but love the character and actor like skywalker and Mark hamill but this film seems to hate him and the franchise on multiple levels. Like the recent sonic film they choose in their arrogance to reinvent the wheel for no good reason beyond they could. It's a bad film and a disrespectful film to your time and money and memory. Though there is a half decent film under all the garbage and there are good fan edits out there. They usually have removed almost an hour of stupidity and left a series of impressive action scenes with some of our most beloved stars. Sadly one of those stars has been extinguished. For that reason alone the film is worthy of your time as Carrie Fisher delivers a solid performance. I enjoyed Solo. I liked rogue leader. I loved the original trilogy and enjoyed attack of the clones. The force awakens is ok i guess though seeing han get old made me sad. The last jedi is nothing like these films I like and love. It is not a star wars film despite the packaging and label.

I don't have much more to say beyond I was dissapoited in Ryan Johnson as director because I enjoyed his previous films for being popcorn fun. Jurassic park 3 is my fav film of the series even though it's again a technically poor movie. It was funny. TLJ tries so hard to be a whacky comedy and a political commentary and fails at both. I strongly recommend seeking out that fan edit and give yourself the sw experience you deserve.… Expand

Whatever you thought about the prequels, they were a product of love towards the Star Wars universe and its characters. As a result you actually cared about the story and the characters. You cheered for the great moments, you laughed for the funny moments, you cringed for the cringe-worthy moments, and you got angry about stupid characters taking up the screen time.

While watching "The Last Jedi" I felt... nothing. It was all so disconnected, the lack of passion in the direction and in the acting was so clearly visible. Nobody cared for this movie when it was being made. I have a feeling that a lot of actors in this movie, just like Mark Hamill, disagreed with the direction the movie took under Rian Johnson and they just went through the motions, like "good professionals" would.

The only likable characters are that no-nonsense First Order admiral that dies in the first 5 minutes of the movie, Poe Dameron and Finn. They are the only ones that have passion and make it look like they are willing to fight for something they believe in. For a movie that was supposed to be big on feminism that movie does not have a single likable down-to-earth female character. Rose Tico was supposed to be that character, but she was thoroughly butchered in direction. Which brings us the the biggest fault of this move: incompetent directing. There are a lot of arcs and scenes in this movie that on paper were epic and profound and were utterly ruined by Rian Jonhson and instead came out stupid, pathetic, laughable or annoying.

Poe growing as a leader - awesome on paper - ruined in execution. Vice-admiral Holdo - a gentle leader of great wisdom - ruined in execution: Mr. Johnson - there is a huge difference between projecting strength to keep everyone calm and behaving like you are too stoned to care. Finn willing to sacrifice himself and saved by Rose - awesome on paper - so completely and utterly ruined in execution. This scene would be so hyper-epic if Rose sacrificed herself "not out of hate but to save the things she loved" and then she would get the a funeral of a hero. Instead she ended up looking like a selfish you-know-what, willing to risk everybody's life to get what she wants for herself.

And so on and so forth. Every single thing in this move could be epic, instead it fizzled down to nothing.… Expand

It's like Rian Johnson wanted to be some contrarian or disagreed with the philosophy of Star Wars and decided to (poorly) deconstruct Star Wars and turn the film into the "anti-Star Wars" Star Wars movie.

He negates all the growth, values, and experiences made in both the OT and TFA but doesn't placate anything new in place of all the things he subverts. We don't learn anything about the characters or why they do the things they do. We don't learn why Snoke is interested in fighting the Jedi or where he came from. Rey still hasn't received any training and yet, is the equivalent of Kylo Ren (all the Mary Sue accusers here gain traction to a film that could've easily negated their arguments). The characters do stupid things that serve no purpose to the story other than to say, "oh look, here's some vague and shallow demonstration of failure or growth".

The dialogue was out of place and wonky. You had awkward phrases and sayings like "Godspeed" or "chrome dome" or "laser swords" which doesn't belong in a galaxy far, far way.

The humor was awful and killed all the tension in the film. It's as if the writer thought the Marvel movie quips were suited for the SW universe and brought it in to supplement all the violence and genocide. Likewise, they wasted 30 minutes of the film dedicated to a boring casino subplot that ended up irrelevant to the plot. Totally poor direction here.

Anyway, it's just a huge disappointment. I am certain that I will NOT be watching the next two Star Wars films. Likewise, I fear they will ruin the Obi-Wan film which will come after.… Expand

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

There are just simply too many WTF moments. I am not a die-hard Star Wars fan but what they did with this is just wrong. I gave them the benefit of the doubt after disliking EP 7 The Force Awakens, but they delivered nothing on the setups in that movie, it is like it never happened.

So why should I care what happens in this movie and in this trilogy when you negated the point of the Original Trilogy (Ep.4-6) and destroyed Luke as a character? With this movie and this whole trilogy you are just demonstrating that you will just create more and more future movies without care for the universe that exists. Dumping the entire extended universe demonstrates the lack of care for this. They could have started a new trilogy set a few hundred years into the future or even a millennia later without destroying what was. The whole point of the Original Trilogy was the restoration of the Republic and the destruction of the Empire. What happens a few decades later? The Jedi are practically extinct. The Empire is simply morphed into the all powerful First Order. The Republic seems to have never been restored and the Rebels morphed into the resistance that by the end of the movie is practically nonexistent. There are a ton of questions left unanswered and will likely not get answered.

Lets not forget the stupid setup for a kids movie trilogy in the Star Wars universe that killed the pacing for this move.… Expand

This movie is poor from two perspectives. First as a movie in general, e.g. script, plot, characters, and cinematic. and second as a star wars franchise movie.

1). This is just a poorly done movie / cinematic. --- contrived plot
--- poor character development, e.g. characters do not evolve, they remain static in their understanding of events and conflict from beginning until the end.
--- forced diversity, the character 'Rose' reeks of Disney forcefully placing ethnic diversity into the film as a matter of making a check on list. There is no point to this character and events or responsibilities of this character do not make any sense and are meaningless.

2) Bad Star Wars franchise movie
---No adherence to cannon. e.g. not consistent with established 'rules' of 'The Force'(e.g. Jedi training). Why didn't rebels use hyperspace kamikaze to former threats in previous movies?
---The visuals and action were a step down from previous movies. Where is the masterful Jedi vs. Sith light saber scene? Where is the Jedi taking control of the battle field or space in conflict?
---Lukes climatic buildup carried from episode VII was a big nothing and inconsistent with his matured character from Return of the Jedi. To be frank, we all wanted to see Luke's bad ass Master Jedi skills in action to save the resistance. ---No climatic battle with Supreme leader Snoke... by the way, can holy wood get away from the contrived throne room? No rulers sit day in and day out in a throne room. At least Darth Sidious's room was more of a command viewpoint to watch galactic warfare.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw the movie on Day 1, but I wanted to let it cool off, let the controversy blow over and see what I think of it later on. That later on was over a year later, when the hype from both sides has died down and I could watch both it and TFA in peace and in unisono.

In short, I still think that TFA is good. Not excellent, but pretty good and stand on its own as a movie. And most importantly, it ends with opening full of possibilities for next in franchise to explore and build upon. As for TLJ, my opinion did change. For worse. In December 2017 I thought the movie was average, while having one of greatest cinematics, the plot was kinda subpar and characters were okay-ish. With the SW fever over, I can see that I was too generous.

The plotholes for me year + on were even bigger issue, as I cant but keep noticing them, just as I now can see the plotlines that I know will lead to nowhere, put up as red herring that wouldnt be forgiven even to junior director. The casino section is upon re-watching painful to watch as now I know it has no purpose what-so-ever, while at Day 1 I was hoping until last second that it will come full circle and result in something. John Boyega character is criminally ignored by writers, he doesnt do anything, doesnt have any good line and looks like a lost boy who has no place there and shouldnt be there. Squadering his last chance for glory at end is just cherry on top. Daisy Ridley tries her best with scrip she has and while of all characters is given most respect by writers by her having an arc (subpar as it is), it is kicked off its feet at every chance by director. Developing her skills? Nope. Showing us her internal conflict? Nope. Growing as a character? Nope. I detested usage of "Mary Sue" term in TFA, but here ... what else can be said? And Ridley as aspiring young actress deserves better than such poor treatment by writers, just as Hayden Christensen did all those years ago. Adam Driver has by far the best character in the movie, but when time comes to give him his own worth and arc, that is detached from cliches of movie industry, the director simply decides that is not the way and instead we have the cliche baddie who shouts a lot and obviously needs some yoga to cool down. At one scene he is proclaiming want for something new than rehashed sith and jedi dichotomy, offering Rey to build it with him and in next he is Sith lord shouting and screaming to kill "the rebel scum". Disappointing. Oscar Isaac as a character is utterly ruined by Laura Dern character, who wins the trophy of worst written character in history of SW, topping Jar Jar Binks. Rose Tico is there, and she shouldnt. Knowing that one of last scene that Carrie Fisher filmed in her life is levitating through space like a Mary Poppins is heart-breaking. And Mark Hammil obviously wants to play character of Luke Skywalker, but not this Luke Skywalker and no one can blame him.

The plot is non-sensical. Jokes are over-the-top, they wouldnt fly even in MCU in many instances. Any emotion that I should get from the movie are absent. I got teary at end of Rogue One. I got teary when Han Solo died. Here? Nothing. Luke "death" mostly angered me, because pulling inception of a red herring is just cheating. Bad one. All blames here goes onto director and writers. And in this case its one person. Ryan Johnson wanted to direct and write a movie, but he didnt want to do that for movie in a franchise so he just decided not to. And no one had half a guts to look at the script and say "no" to him, just like no one wanted to say No to Great Gorge when he thought that poo jokes are great Star Wars stuff.

And so after decades of disappointment and occasional joy, Disney finally done it. It killed any joy I had for future of franchise. I just cant seem to care anymore.

PS: Movie does get points for stunning visuals and Mark Hammil. Give people who did CGI massive bonuses. They deserve it. And Mark better script. He deserves it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A strange experience as a moderate Star Wars fan who loved and obsessed over the initial trilogy, became slightly disinterested in the prequel trilogy, and renewed after Episode 7. When I left the theatre after Episode 8, I had gripes but overall was satisfied with the sequel. The more I think of it however, the less charitable I become:

- No focus on chemistry and romance. Let me guess - Finn and Rey will not get together, and we won't see even an actual love triangle as the ending of 8 implies. Just an all-white final kiss to cap off what has generally been an impressive egalitarian showing for the cast and crew. Unfortunate.
- Destroying genuinely interesting stories. Snoke is dead. Rey's lineage answer: dead. Kylo Ren having a genuine, lasting internal struggle. Dead. Same for Rey. Dead. - Biting off more than it can chew. Rey's exploration in the first half of the film - genuinely moving. The sideshow with Finn and Poe on a ship running out of fuel? Boring, full of plot holes, and what the hell is Benicio del Toro doing here? - Destroying the legacy of Luke Skywalker: the user reviews speak for themselves here, and I think there is something about how his character is portrayed that simply doesn't jive with the character from Episode 4-6. It does tarnish his legacy.

I didn't think it was a horrible film, but in some ways I'm more disappointed in it than I was for Episodes 1 and 2. I felt Episode 7 - a flawed but thrilling re-introduction with just a pinch too much nostalgia and copycatting - was really setting up a dramatic home-run much like Batman Begins did for The Dark Knight. What we have here is a huge missed opportunity in the service of trying to do too many things at one. This should've been a focused film about budding romance, war, and an exploration of the force.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only way this movie works is as a stand-alone fan fiction. As a stand-alone movie it's fine; but when you put it as the second film in a cannon Star Wars trilogy; completely unmaking the first film in the new trilogy, it's not fine at all.

Every character returns, exactly as you knew them in Episode VII! Yes, every character is the same as the first movie. In fact, there is no character development in this movie at all; it’s like they wanted to remake the first movie; it’s only been a couple years! It’s not a problem if you don’t know who Snoke is, or who Rey’s parents were; because it never mattered, boy how clever; straight out of the “M. Night” twist playbook!

I didn’t have an issue with Han Solo dying in Episode VII, because Harrison Ford wanted that character to die off a long time ago. Killing off Luke, especially in the way they did, was a very unattractive move to a lot of people; in fact, Luke’s whole journey in this movie is the complete opposite of what it was in the original trilogy. They effectively unmade the original trilogy. It’s like, if someone were to make a sequel to Citizen Kane, but made every character you love into a child murderer. Why would Luke want to kill Kylo just because he “sensed” he went to the dark side in his heart? Luke literally tried to turn the most iconic fictional evil villain in history back to the light; Darth Vader, and he succeeded in the end! Princess Leah is also an iconic fictional character, and she floats through space like a champ too; also, where the hell did she learn how to do that? If Leah can float through space with force abilities and no training, did Jedi even need space ships at all in the Clone Wars?

So, we’re supposed to “let the past die”, and accept that the main characters are at conflict now, and were in the past, for seemingly no reason at all. There is no reason for Kylo Ren to be on the “dark side”, and there is no reason for Rey to be on the "light side". Nothing matters in this movie, and that’s a big problem, especially for episode 9, and the entire future of Star Wars itself. They not only effectively unmade Star Wars, they made it pointless now too. Disney just wants to make and sell some “Team Kylo” T-shirts, that’s all they care about.

If I were directing Episode 9, I would have Finn wake up from his coma from the first film, and be like "Wow, that was one hell of a nightmare"; that way episode VIII never happened.… Expand

Whenever I watched Star Wars, the original three, the prequels or the animated TV shows, I liked them because they gave back the Star Wars feeling with the characters and the immense story. With this episode, after a disastrous Episode 7, I am hopeless. The movie is long, packed with action which is good but the characters are not well written and most of them are misrepresented, not to mention the modern age plight in the movie:
- the new characters are not capable of taking over from the old characters, they are just vague and you feel like there is no point in the whole movie. - the old characters, nearly all of them, seem to be totally different from previous parts. They are not who they were, they have different ideals. - women are strong, brave and clever whereas men are cowardly, stupid or impulsive without brains (in old Star Wars movies we had strong women and men characters and it wasn't pushed, here it is pushed)

All in all, could have been a great movie because I believe old and new could have existed next to each other but they didn't even try to do that, they just wanted to get rid of the old and introduce the new which turned out to be a failure.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, everyone's grade is subjective. But what people who throw perfect scores at this movie need to understand, is that this amount of negative feedback is not just a matter of hate. The movie gets a lot of criticism, because it deserves a lot of criticism. If FOR YOU this is the best Star Wars movie and you love it, you have nothing to feel bad for, you are not wrong for loving it. You are wrong however, if you claim the criticism the movie receives is completely wrong. Now, to actually go into some details.

I do not hate this movie, but this is the first Star Wars movie I came out of from the cinema thinking: I did not like this movie. Even Episodes 1 and 2, when I came out of the cinema, I had a smile on my face. True, upon further reflection, they are not exactly the best movies, but this movie, first time view and I was not pumped, I was not smiling. I was just... I did not like this movie. I think they made some bad decisions. And I think Mark Hamill agrees too.

FROM THIS POINT ON SPOILERS APPLY

I think the movie starts off well, with an awesome space battle, and a pretty deep moment with Leia and Poe where she wants him to be a leader, but he's not there yet. For me the problems start when Leia enters a coma or whatever that is, and Admiral Holdo takes over. Admiral Holdo is a character that did not need to be in the film. I wholeheartedly believe that if they just kept Leia conscious for the entire film, and had that Holdo - Poe conflict actually be a big opinion difference between Leia and Poe, where Leia wants to grow him in the next big leader, her successor and actually treats him like a son (u know, the son she lost to the Dark Side), that would have been a much more rewarding evolution. I am sorry, the scene where Holdo sacrifices herself, looked amazing. But I felt nothing. If that would have been Leia, I would have been crying.

Next up is the big stinker for this movie. The "Run - get code breaker - come back to destroyer - stop tracking" plot, that is followed up by Finn and Rose. That thing is just stupid. But that is not even the biggest problem. Even with this convoluted mess of a plot, why did they need to make it such a boring, long, drag? That takes up 1/3 of the film, and it is absolutely dragged out and terrible. It touches on 3 very nice and smart themes: animal cruelty is bad, war makes good business and arms dealers sell to rebels as well, aaand the whole impressing the kids secures you tomorrow's Jedi. The themes are nice, but unfortunately most it is just those horses running through the track, through a field, through a building, through a street, through another building, through some corn. And then... oh here is a neat smart scene on how this arms dealer deals TIEs to the 1st Order and Xwings to the Resistance. 20 seconds of smart vs 6 minutes of BS CGI horse chase that does not add anything to the movie.

Last major point I did not like about this movie is what they did with Luke. First of all, I did not want to see Luke die this episode. Even if his death is actually becoming one with the Force willingly, I don't think this was the best thing to do. And if they really wanted to do it, I think the way they did it not doing the character justice. In A New Hope, Obi Wan goes out in a similar way... but not really. In Ep. 4, Obi Wan is not actually in a situation he can easily get himself out of. So he knows what he needs to do to go out like a boss. Luke does not do that. If they really wanted to kill Skywalker, they should have actually brought him there. They should have made him wreck some AT ATs, give Luke's fans a scene of him being a total bad-ass, have him fight Kylo and then have the scene where he sais... if you strike me down I will be with you forever. And then, the mind game with Kylo REALLY begins. Have Luke put a huge display of power only to LET Kylo "win", and "kill him" just so he can prove a point.

This movie, is a huge waste of potential. But the 3 points I mentioned above, are not a question of missed potential, there are plenty of those in the movie, but not these 3. They are a question of poor decisions, and ultimately why I did not like this Star Wars movie.… Expand

There was some awesome cinematic scenes and some good acting, but the story didnt even seem thought out, as if the director was just making it up on the fly and hoping it would all work out in the end. I do enjoy the new characters and they could have blended them with the old characters in a way that was fresh. They could of moved away from having the same evil empire trying to take over and rebels fighting back that they have done for every star wars movie.

Rian Johnson continues his personal series of flops by writing this awful fan-fiction. It focuses on the father-daughter relationship with Luke & Rey, and mostly a simple young female janitor to set-up a trite romance with Finn later on. There’s extraordinary pacing issues, and the longstanding characters act as though this is their very first Star Wars film. There is no pay-off in the end, and the humor is particularly bad. It tries so hard to be different in formula from The Empire Strikes Back, that it does nothing exciting. What could’ve been a fantastic departure from the obvious sci-fi standard is instead a tedious spin-off. Episode IX could ignore The Last Jedi entirely and no one would be the wiser.… Expand

The villains are also poor - General Huxley is about as cliche and lame as you'll get. There wasn't much point to Snoke... Ren is not threatening, Rey bested him in the first one easily.

The humour is misplaced, when there's some good tension it's immediately ruined by wannabe 'Marvelesque' humour, it lacks any class, finesse or flow.

The two movies attempt to throw in nostalgic moments to drum up those old feelings. I remember actually loving the start of the first movie, then once it settles down and Disney's ticket-selling ploys come to light, it just turned me off, the exact same happens here.… Expand

On est donc pas surpris et souvent déçus, car on a la nette impression d'être pris pour des cons... Mais comme dans le précédent épisode, le plus gros souci réside dans le casting des "nouveaux" personnages qu'on retrouve naturellement ici... On a en effet rarement vu une telle galerie de tronches de cake au charisme d'andouilles périmenazes. En fait, à part la petite Daisy qui s'en sort à peu près, tout le reste n'est qu'une triste bande de cons.

Or, on ne construit pas, on ne continue pas une saga avec des tanches pareilles parce que c'est trop gênant et trop embarrassant de voir ça. Malgré les effets spéciaux tip-top, malgré une réalisation tout-à-fait appréciable ma foi ! et j'allais presque dire qu'on ne s'ennuie pas (trop)... mais c'est faux : avec ses deux heures et demi, ça tire vraiment sur la corde de l'ennui et d'une lassitude certaine.

Les deux retraités sont quand même revenus faire leur baroud d'honneur, très anecdotique pour Mamie Leia Nova Organa qui peinerait à faire vendre deux paquets de yaourts mais impressionnant, oui très impressionnant pour Skywalker (ton papa serait fier...!). Il apporte un peu de grandeur à ce film rempli de blaireaux et pour des instants, pour des instants seulement, on y (re)croit encore. Bravo Mark et merci.

Pour le reste ou plutôt pour les restes de ce remake, on pourra mentionner l'excellent Del Toro qui est venu faire coucou pour la gamelle et... c'est tout.

As well they were always talking about how powerful these jedi and order sith guys were but really nobody did much force stuff at all. The light sabre fights were poorly choreographed None of the characters communicated with each other which made friction for no reason.

But if you are not ready enough to build a new castle, just don't do it.

This movie is focusing on twisting your expectations, destroying your childhood memory
...TOO MUCH, for 2h 33m, whole time.

Because of this, there is not enough time to understand all new characters. Rey, Finn, Poe and Ben... they are all good characters, performed by great actors.
But still I don't know them.

It may be one of the best SF movie as an original single episode.
But as a Starwars movie? No.

Snoke (probably the most interesting character in the prior movie) is killed off. No explanation of who he is or where he came from, just wasted in the middle of the movie. Rey still manages to become a powerful Jedi with no training (?). Yoda appears, well just because. The slapstick is just gut wrenchingly bad. The "your on hold" scene (near the beginning) elicited audible groans. Finn is still completely uninteresting. The only bright spot was Mark Hamill's performance.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. MY EYEBALLS ENJOYED WATCHING IT, BUT MY BRAIN WOULDN'T LET ME REALLY LIKE IT.

I went into this movie with zero opinions. Didn't read anything about it, didn't follow it at all.

The greatest improvement of The Last Jedi over The Force Awakens is that it didn't copy it's original trilogy counterpart as much, though there were still plenty of plagiarized scenes with throw away lines that tried to unconvincingly tell you that this is totally not the same as Empire.

The visuals were gorgeous, and there were a couple of real heartwarming moments, but once you've seen it, your mind will start to review what you've seen and come to the conclusion that in all other ways this movie is basically a tire fire.

Mark Hamill's return as the grumpy old Luke-alike was well done and I thoroughly enjoyed him, as long as you ignore that all of the events leading up to his self-exile were an enormous character assassination.

Rey is more of a Mary Sue now than even the definition of the trope can explain because it's amplified by her ridiculous mastery of the Force... but she is charming, like a Mary Sue should be.

Finn and Rose's entire subplot might as well not exist and the movie would have been better served using the 40 minutes of that on actually making the rest good and filling in the plot chasms.

Poe Dameron was OK. Under the circumstances he was behaving like any critically thinking person should, even though the movie will try to tell you otherwise.

The writing, structure, and editing of this movie is easily the worst of any Star Wars. Cringe worthy lines occur regularly, and stupid jokes that break dramatic scenes and then don't land well for most of the audience are sprinkled throughout. Character development is basically non-existent for anybody, new or old. It basically insults your intelligence but you don't notice at the time because of the eye candy.

World building that keeps the fantastical elements of Star Wars within reason and believable has gone completely out the window for the sake of spectacle. I guess if you wanted to distance your Star Wars from old Star Wars you would do something like this movie, but it can't even maintain continuity within itself, let alone from its direct prequel. It breaks all of the rules of Star Wars that keep it grounded in a believable world. It's like the director looked at what was done before, lit it all on fire, and wrote his own fan fiction.

Plot points and teasers set up in Force Awakens go untouched, or blatantly discarded. Who's Snoke and where did he come from? Doesn't matter, he's out. Rey's parents? Forget it, they are nobody. Kylo's mask and his persona of intimidation? Get rid of it because the old guy made fun of him. Finn got his spine raked by a lightsaber and goes into a coma? Nah he wakes up and shows no signs of being injured at all despite the fact that the time between the two movies appears to be less than a week. Why would Luke leave a map to find him if he left to go die in a corner? Captain Phasma? Still a non-character with like 4 lines between two movies; a shiny suit to sell merchandise that may as well not even have anybody inside and it wouldn't make a difference (strong female characters ftw?). Knights of Ren? Who now? Nobody came after you sent the distress call? No duh. Hyperspace travel isn't instantaneous, and you gave them all of 5 minutes to get there before leaving.

This movie didn't just take a dump on the original trilogy, it took a dump on its own trilogy. I wasn't a fan of FA because I walked out of it thinking, "I've seen this movie already." It was just A New Hope with modern visuals, and I guess some people are fine with that (I can't fault the visuals), but I wanted new content. In hindsight, however, The Last Jedi is inferior to The Force Awakens in every way, which is the saddest story of all. JJ Abrams will try to repair what has been done by this movie, but he will fail spectacularly because Rian Johnson is a complete tool.

This new trilogy is officially not Star Wars to me. I just don't care about anything in it. The story is completely inconsequential and I don't care about any of these characters or what they're going to do now. It's not canon. The real canon is the Expanded Universe and TV series. This new stuff is children playing with forces they don't understand.

1 point for Mark Hamill's performance.
1 point for production values.
1 point for Rian Johnson not doing EP9.… Expand

Some sparks of genius here and there in TLJ, amazing photography for sure, and the humor does not feel out of place, but overall the plot and the film itself as a whole feels worse than even EpI. The film takes the script of a pretty good film as was The Force Awakens and throws most of it through the sinkhole. Much as the Matrix sequels did with the first film. Had great expectations, found a silly film. Biggest disappointment of the year, after the great job Disney did with TFA and Rogue One.… Expand

The only thing I like is that they didn't follow any fan theory but in the process, they created a messy story, jokes out of place, inconsistent subplots, bad development of characters, bad pacing, it feels as messy as the prequel trilogy.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 
While there are many critiques of some of the issues with this movie I will focus on a few that really ruined it for me. The 1st and biggest for me is the portrayal of Luke. in this move we are supposed to believe that Luke just gave up and went to some island to die because Ben Solo started to turn to the Dark Side. This basically undoes all character progression we see for Luke in episodes 4-6. This was just a leap to far for me and really pulled me out of the movie. i probably could have gone along with this plot point if they had spent some time developing this point. Instead all we got to support this was a few short flashbacks and some very short exposition. Maybe they could have cut the pointless Canto Bight stuff and spent some time here). One possible way this could have been down would be if Luke had been married and Ben Solo killed his spouse. I probably would not have liked this but I could have gone along with it. 


Many people have said there is precedent for Luke going into exile because both Yoda and Obi Wan did the same. I don’t buy this. In this film Luke just gives up and goes into exile to die. Obi Wan went to Tatooine to watch over Luke and try and make sure Vader/Palpatine didn’t find Luke. Yoda went to Dagoba to bide his time and see if there might come a way to undo what had been done. From my perspective they both still carried a spark of hope. Luke just gave up with little explanation as to why. Are you freaking kidding me!?!?

The next point I will talk about is the overall tone of the movie. The writer seemed to go out of his way to make sure we knew the that all the stuff from episodes 1-7 does not matter from this point on. There were some serious nihilistic undercurrents here. He went out of his way to say it doesn’t matter who Snoke is. It doesn’t matter who Rey’s parents are. The Jedi origins and history don’t matter. By the end of the movie the resistance is basically decimated with 1 ship and about 20 people surviving. I get that Disney probably wants to reset things so they can take the series in some different directions but did they have to go out of there way to tear down just about everything that came before to do it?  I really wish they would have finished out episodes 8 and 9 before trying to reset everything. The last point I will make is that the writer/director seemed to go out of his way to subvert every expectation. While I like some surprises i wish they were tied to a better story. I couldn’t escape the feeling that I was being trolled throughout this movie. You expect to find out about Rey’s past? Nope!. You expect to find out how the first order came to be? nope! you expect to find out more about Snoke? Nope You expect Admiral Holdo to act rationally and explain the plan so people know they are not just waiting for a slow death? Nope. Who are the Knights of Ren? Nope! You expect Luke to not be a bitter old man who doesn’t care that his sister is in grave danger? Nope! You expect that Finn will retain some of the character growth he had from the last movie? Nope! You expect Finn to go out and sacrifice himself to save what is remaining of his friends? Nope! You expect Poe to not act like a complete ass twice? Nope! You expect this film to make sense given the existing canon? Nope!

It seems like the movie was just one big head fake after another at the expense of making a movie that makes sense in the context of what came before. Its as if the director was so concerned with the criticism that the force awakens was just a retread that they decided to throw everything out the window whether it made sense or not. There were some of these surprises that I liked (especially the throne room fight). But overall I think this movie is a mess that destroys more than it builds. Worst of all the destruction has effectively eradicated my desire to see any more of the Disney Star Wars. I really enjoyed Rogue One and i thought The Force Awakens was ok. I even appreciated some aspects of the prequels. But this one just left me confused and disappointed. There is a Youtuber named David Stewart who has a few videos breaking down the issues with this movie (in a better fashion than I can). One of the points he made was that this movie has the aesthetic of a Star Wars movie but it does not have the heart of one. There is no heart here just window dressing.… Expand

Which is shameful.

I mean how creatively dead are the writers of Hollywood that they basically have to rip off the Original Trilogy.
Again.
But it doesn't totally steal from The Empire Strikes Back - It does the same plot, in reverse.

The fact that the writers cannot come up with better factions than the Empire and Rebels despite the fact that even with seemingly infinite resources and manpower the First Order cannot seem to crush a ragtag group.
Not even America had this much trouble in Vietnam.

Frankly the CGI also was a bit of a mess. Watching this in VUE's usual quality really brings to the fore that modern technology is simply reaching the point where the Uncanny Valley effect begins to take effect.

The Characters themselves were largely a disappointment as well. The star of the movie was General Hux, played by Domhnall Gleeson, in that his character not only goes through an arc but also take his role in the movie seriously. The addition of constant quips and jokes from the cast, apart from those on the Antagonists, is really jarring - Let Marvel movies stick with the machine gun gags.
Once again Rey is a flat, unlikable main characters, but at least she has improved since TFA. Finn and Poe have lost their charm because they almost feel like the exact same character over the 2 films - they are static in a changing world.
Kylo Ren is good, though only towards the second part of the movie. Which is a shame because of Adam Driver's strong acting in TFA.
Phasma is being pushed for being this Nu-Era's Boba Fett but has none of the charisma, or screen time, to pull it off.

This movie has zero ambition and frankly i was not alone in the theatre bored and mockingly amused at this production. It is such a shame what this wonderful IP has become - but that is what happens when you play it safe with a bunch of executive suits running the show, for maximum profit of course

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

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

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am so disappointing in this movie that I had to create an account to write a review. I went into it, with the hopes of seeing a space epic that with be talked about for years to come, but all I got was a two and a half hour movie that left me questioning so much. For starters I checked my watch multiple times, because the movie felt like it was taking an age to get where it wanted to go, but then it actually never got there. There was sub plot that were totally unnecessary to the overall plot and plot holes that made know sense what so ever. I mean how did General Hux become a General, he has got to be the most incompetent fool in the whole galaxy. Ok let follow there ships for hours than seems like a great plan, really you have a crazy amount of weapons and ships at your disposable, jump ahead a light speed and cut them off. Literally do anything else than what you did. I mean the start where he is being messed with by Po was so bad if he was so determined to kill the resistance then he would have destroyed the x-wing and moved on. Are the First Order not the bad guys? shouldn't they be ruthless? So much about the movie bugged me, the Leia superman scene, the pretty much shot for shot Return of the Jedi scene with Snoke, the jokes that were just so forced they were cringe worthy. All and all a poor showing from the what was the most anticipated movie of the Year. It will make money no doubt, but it won't go down as the best movie of the Year, it's not even close.… Expand

This movie is complete garbage, it didn't feel like a Star Wars AT ALL, confused plot, subplots that went ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE and the characters were cardboards with no personality and not interesting at all.

Also is full of really stupid moments like flying Leia, milking aliens' breasts and those stupid porgs.

Also Del Toro's character felt like Jack Sparrow in space, but less likeable and interesting.

Rey's origins were a complete wasted opportunity and made her a Mary Sue at 100%, Snoke and Phasma completely useless for the plot and the story in general, Kylo was interesting at first, but Adam Driver seemed to forgot how to act sometimes.
Even Mark Hamill felt awkward in some scenes.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *SPOILER ALERT* From a fan who love FA, Empire, ROJ and a bit of Roque One: This movie looks amazing. But........ is overwelming inconsistent, messy and has really badly motivated storylines. Even if they would have skipped the wole codebreaker search it's still a movie that doesn't have a good pace. For me the movie started failing when Leia suddenly resurrected as superman from the dead with her Force. WTF! Also these strange long distance force phone calls between Ray and Kylo where to easy; there is no limitation, tension or magic when this happens. In the old movies, Luke had to be at least near Father to sense him, they could not talk like a phone call, only maybe one word orso. This was more indirect, more limited and therefore with more imagination of us a the viewer. A good movie I think should give the hero a limitation to struggle with. Let them deal with maybe two problems at once. Or when someones solve one problem, a new problem automatically comes forth of that. And show the a little more struggle/effect of a character, with sweat, a small silence, hesitation, an inner battle. Come closer to the eyes like a Spielberg shot. Why not show Luke battling internally with going bad if he is so scared of Ray, why not let Luke heavily attack her in his blindness. This would have got me on my seat immedaitly. Then Rey could be maybe be the one who turns Luke to good again. I also agree with the not so adventurous retro aspect of the movie, I could have accepted that; Force Awakens was also a remash, but i loved it in many more ways compaired to this one.
How is it possible that is from the same guy who made Looper! I don't know if his new trilogy will be ok at all.... Man what a major bummer indeed! And how can JJ fix this stuff? Man!… Expand

There is an overabundance of cheap laughs uncharacteristic of a Star Wars movie. These take up an exceedingly large amount of time that could have been used developing an underwhelming plot. On the topic of plot, no plot lines from The Force Awakens are promisingly fulfilled, many of them outright ignored; most if not all of the ones that were addressed are just blankly cut off in the most mundane ways possible. Instead of a fulfilling continuation (of a trilogy admittedly off to a bad start), we get even more random plot lines, plot holes, and blatant "Screw You's" from Rian Johnson and the writing staff.

No character comes out of this movie looking better, besides somewhat Kylo Ren. In no surprising fashion, Rey has been confirmed to be the greatest Mary Sue possible. Luke has completely regressed as a character. Every character's actions and decisions throw away consistency, and many of them just don't make any logical sense. There are some blatant throw-in's for identity politics as well.

It's honestly just astonishing at how much screen time was wasted; how many plot holes were introduced; how mundanely plot lines were wrapped up (or outright ignored), and how awful the characterization was. Acting was great, as was visuals and music; all expected of a Star Wars movie.… Expand

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

But now to Episode 8:

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

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

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

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

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


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