This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you've never seen another Star Wars movie, then this one isn't completely terrible...just a typical big budget space fantasy that makes no sense.

If, on the other hand, you are (or were) a Star Wars fan, this movie absolutely is terrible. So many other reviews have pointed out most of the problems (and they are significant), but they've left out the one that bothers me the most. The main reason I didn't like this movie is because it renders all the movies that went before it pointless. All the fantastic effort, all the near death battles, all the just-in-time victories...they're all pointless because, by the end of Episode VIII, the entire rebellion is crushed down to just a few people.

Everything Luke and Leia and Han and Obi Wan and the droids ever fought for...all lost. This is key: if they had never existed, the Star Wars universe would be no worse off. They accomplished nothing. What sort of nihilistic excrement is that? Wherever the series goes from here, it's a completely new story with no heritage from the original movies.… Expand

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

This was the movie that killed any interest in me for the new Star Wars movies made by Disney after Rogue One. It broke everything that made Star Wars great... Horrific experience.

Not sure what the OT did to Disney to make them hate Luke, Han, Leia, and Chewie but it comes across as needlessly mean spirited. The action scenes have too many leaps of logic to give any suspense or excitement, many of the new characters introduced in them film come across as unlikable, needlessly withholding information (ya know who they are) completely useless and say truly idiotic dialogue (ya know who they are) and Poe is just so needlessly crapped on it comes across as a "toxic masculinity" message that doesn't work in any way. The First Order is incompetent and are played far too much for comedy. Plot lines set up from the Force Awakens just go absolutely nowhere for no real reason. In terms of the writing the movie is just a mess. Sure it looks great in parts, but it's just no enough to make a good film.… Expand

Most of the progression seems to rely on coincidence and convenience. There are quite a few twists throughout that lead nowhere and introduce little to nothing of interest to the story. As such, upon multiple viewings, most of the story beats feel pointless as they are just drawn out build-ups to reveals that are ultimately unsatisfying.

The writing is sophomoric and the pacing uneven. Scenes that should have time to breathe are cut short and scenes that should be cut short, or just cut, seem to linger. Throughout most of the scenes, attempts at humour are injected at points where they tonally clash with the situations at hand and work to undermine any semblance of stakes, severity or consequence. Character motivation is at best underdeveloped and inconsistent and at worst nonsensical and contradictory. Dialogue is clunky and a lot of it feels like metacommentary directed at the fans rather than an exchange between real characters. Overall from a purely writing standpoint this movie falls flat.

However, this movie does have a coherent message and works well as a deconstruction of the Star Wars franchise. As a metacommentary, the subjects it touches upon and the points it raises are valid, despite being delivered poorly or heavy handedly. The best praise I can give would be to the cinematography and direction. This is unequivocally the most beautiful, and well shot Star Wars movie, and although I find the movie as a whole unentertaining, poorly written and problematic as an installment to an established and ongoing franchise, I can find enjoyment in the visuals of the third act. Rian Johnson has a talent for framing shots in a striking and meaningful way.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie would be fine if it was the first of an original series. Unfortunately, it follows 7 previous movies in the same universe with over 40 years of lore and connected story. You would think that being a middle film in a trilogy that plot points and character development would be carefully considered to connect the previous film and leave something worth following in the final film. Apparently, Rian Johnson didn't really care about the trilogy as a whole and forgot where he fits in the series as well as the new trilogy. Subverting expectations is exactly what he did by making choices that oppose a logical person's expectation for a congruent story. Sure its bold and also very stupid. Now we have a movie that leaves a dud for every interesting build up from the previous movie and leaves nothing for the final movie to go on. We have a new powerful villain....actually he was nothing. Well then maybe Kilo Ren will set up to be the evil villian....actually no he is force flirting with Ray and even takes her side in a fight. The theme of letting the pass die because both sides are equally bad. Sure, the empire who committed genocide by blowing up entire planets is the same as the Jedi letting Palpatine rise to power because they didn't know he was evil. I guess there are good people on both sides. There has to be a reason why Ray is so powerful....actually no, her parents are nothing and she is not special. Which could be intriguing if we didn't have 40 years of story that emphasized the connection between linage and force power. Here is a little note for that...your audience will feel cheated when you set up a fictional world with established rules and then break those rules just to do it. Let just make everyone in Harry Potter, even muggles, just as powerful as Harry because it doesn't matter who your parents are. Just because you think its a positive moral message to children doesn't mean it makes sense to an established franchise. So the expectations have been subverted. So we are left with a movie where the main character spends most of the time on an island with a Jedi master who doesn't want anything to do with her or the doctrine he spent his life pursuing. We have a confused villain who isn't sure if hes bad or just a damaged boy with daddy issues. And the rest of the movie is the rebellion slowly wasting fuel while the first order is just waiting for them to run out of fuel. I wont even comment on the Casino planet scene that subverted all expectations that it would matter to the story at all. Anyway,here are a few subverted expectations that could have worked. Not having tired, forced, and cliche romantic interests for main characters. Apparently, Rian Johnson gets character tropes from his favorite young adult novels. Instead of Luke hating everything that the Jedi stands for because he failed one student, have him overcome his self guilt to regain a sense of purpose. Give Rose and her sister at least 1 scene together to give the audience a reason to care for their relationship. Better yet, let Rose sacrifice herself, like her sister did in the beginning, by knocking Finn out of the way and flying herself into the laser at the end. Maybe that would make the audience actually like her character. Give a reason why Ray is so powerful with the force given her parents were nothing. I'm not against the idea that linage has nothing to do with it but a bit of context would probably help if you want to insert concepts that go against well established lore. Establish a true protagonist. Give Snoke a backstory, or kill him off and make Kilo Ren something to be feared. They could have made General Hux the main villain, except he became everyone's punching bag. What about the knights of Ren? Nah, that set up was too good and interesting but it doesn't subvert expectations. Instead of Leia having that laughable Mary Poppins moment, don't have that. If we are just throwing stuff in the movie that doesn't make sense, at least give Luke a better death then force projecting himself and dying alone on that island. Why not have him show up in person and taking on the first order by himself. Its obvious that the movie doesn't want to follow the rules anyway, let Luke hug his sister in person one last time and have one last over the top, badass moment. Sure, but instead of having him really show up, we can subvert expectations and spoon feed the audience with obvious clues to lead them to the fact that he isn't actually there. In conclusion, I have two explanations of why this movie made the choices that it did. Either, Rian Johnson took the few criticisms for the Force Awakens of having similarities to the original series so seriously that every decision that he made involved subverting expectations to the point of ruining the whole trilogy. Or, he hates JJ so much that he set him up for complete failure. Either or, the audience and the franchise are the ones who have to endure the disappointment.… Expand

I think luke´s character is widely misunderstood. he is flawed and his poor decision making leads to horrible things, which is very accurate to former portrayals, and his only good decisions are when he decides not to fight. A core theme is the temptation of the dark side from the light, and the redemption of those who previously chose the dark. This is perfectly portrayed in the new sequal.

The music is abused and misused. Watch youtuber "sideways" and his video essay about the music in "the rise of skywalker" for details.

The films have political agendas to pander to the growing audience of SJWs and it does this by adding meaningless filler characters to reach a race/sex/sexuality quota. many characters serve no meaningful part of the story.

the core story is compelling enough but too much filler and bad agendas ruin this film as well with not having a clear vision or direction.… Expand

Plot armor keeps driving the whole story. It's like completely random things happening in succession and no one cared about making the motivations of the characters visible to the viewer. In addition, dialogues are significantly weaker than in the first part. In some very important scenes, the dialogues are completely superficial and general. You could confuse them with children talking. A lot of fancy things had to happen in this movie and no one cared about telling why. In the first part, this was ok because it fitted into an overall mystery. But if there is a mystery, you have to progress it and not put it into a mixer and scramble it to an unrecognizable word sausage.… Expand

This is a really awful film. Extremely messy. The plot is pretty bad and many of the character moments were extremely anti climatic and wasted. Performances are okay. This film is extremely messy and a huge disappointment for Star Wars fans.

Who needsThe Marvel-ization of Star Wars is complete. The new school of thought here seems to be: Who needs world building when we have big space battles and can make characters tell lame jokes like Poe's telephone support joke to Hux? Who needs character development when we can just throw in a female lead and make her all powerful with minimal explanation? Who needs to weave a story or tie up loose ends? Just make big explosions and a few by-the-numbers Big Battle Scenes™ and watch the money flow in. Just like Marvel Studios.

Lucas had his issues but at least we all knew the story of Star Wars was the story of the Skywalker family. The OT and PT weaved a mostly coherent story, despite Lucas' 20-year-later retcons and ridiculous plot devices. This new trilogy is a story of what, exactly? Rey the Wonder Girl? I have zero attachment to her because instead of weaving a story around her, she's a Mary Sue who can do everything better than every other established character with no personal growth, loss, or development. She can do more in two episodes than Luke could by the end of three, or Anakin by the middle of the third. Compare her character development at this time to the same development of either Luke or Anakin and you'll see how farcical her character is.

Finn and Poe should be the Han and Leia style secondary protagonists to Rey but instead both Abrams and Johnson try to spin them off as their own main protagonists. Due to this, we end up with half the movie being filler because had Leia or Holdo simply told Poe the Resistance's plan there would have been no need for the entire stealthy casino plot. Speaking of which, Benicio del Toro's talents were completely wasted in this haphazard story line. In a galaxy that we're told is full of scoundrels and ne'er-do-wells, "DJ" (literally his character's full name) isn't even top 20. Gwendoline Christie's talents were also wasted, as her Captain Phasma character is, again, left to be treated like a punch line (and a punching bag).

Johnson squats and takes a Porg sized dump on the entire story line of Luke Skywalker and the original trilogy, and he does so gleefully. He turns Luke into a grumpy hermit who literally tells Rey to get off his lawn. Not that Rey needs him, it turns out, because why should she? She's already better than him, as Johnson makes apparent in a contrived battle scene. Luke's "redemption" comes in the form of two nostalgia pieces from old characters... neither of which change the fact that Luke is written entirely out of character. Something even Mark Hamill complained about months ago.

Kylo Ren repeatedly stands center frame and repeats the lines of burning down the past. It's almost as if Johnson is using Ren to tell the audience that the old Star Wars is dead and the new Star Wars - HIS meandering mess of Star Wars - is all that's left. No thanks. I've been fooled twice now and as the old adage goes, shame on me. I won't be fooled a third time. It's crystal clear Star Wars has fully embraced the Disney dark side, a property to be exploited every year until it reaches a saturation point.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are some very real issues with this film that people should not simply ignore by writing it off as "a kid's movie" or "just something different." They need to try to understand where the haters are coming from and realize that there is some logic at play there, not just butthurt fanboys who are not "true fans." The film is too long, relies on a terrible chase through space sequence that makes no logical sense. If the first order outnumbers them a thousand to one, they could easily have other ships jump in ahead of their position and end it instantly. The fact that they do not do this makes the first order AGAIN look inept. The Canto Bite segment was unnecessary and BB8 constantly rescuing them through slapstick hijinx got old really quick. Like VII, just constantly too many plot holes to avoid. How did Rey get back on the Falcon after Snoke? How did Finn drag Rose 2 miles back to the entrance without getting shot in less than a few minutes? How did Rey know to look for them escaping through the back tunnel? That is just the tip of the iceberg. It is not us fans being salty- it is us expecting better when there IS some amazing SW fiction out there right now that is wonderful. The Comics, Rebels tv show-- feel more like the SW universe that we grew up with and know. This is something else. Something that is just not well thought out. VII was a step in the wrong direction, this is the second step in that same direction. Let's not even talk about the fact that the questions they have been baiting us with for years in regards to Snoke and her parents, do not even matter at all. Done with with soap opera that used to be a space opera.… Expand

TheThe Last Jedi is wrong on so many different levels that I don't even know where to start. The plot is bad and features heavy agenda pushing. Please, don't go to see this film. It will ruin your perception of what the Star Wars is about.

The good things are easy to list: Amazing visual effects, good soundtrack (albeit it heavily borrows from the existing old Star Wars music) and high production values. For those three things I have to give some points on 0 to 10 scale. But everything else is just betrayal of the highest level.

Then there is the bad stuff: Actors are dull and uninteresting. Instead of demonstrating the content of their characters, they've been reduced to nothing but their external appearances. There are absolutely pointless scenes like the space casino thing which accomplishes nothing. The "sacrifices" people make here are utterly pointless and stupid. The film is way too long. And numerous other things other reviews surely will mention but I try to keep this spoiler-free and short.

This and the previous film are utterly non-canon to me. They do not follow the Star Wars Expanded Universe well enough to make me interested. To me Star Wars is dead and Disney killed it. At least I still have my books, comics, games and the original trilogy.… Expand

So much effort to show so little happening. I've a feeling I just watched a really long commercial for Battlefront 2 and Disney's only real regret is that they couldn't find a way to charge me halfway through the movie.

Plot development? Virtually none. Plot holes? Many. Character development: Well, Rey did some interesting hiking with Luke, at least. Massive barely-strung-together visual spectacles: Plenty. Some people died along the way, but they got about 30 seconds screen time, so it was hard to tell who they were. I feel sorry for the actors and actresses as they clearly gave their all and in several cases produced stellar performances, but the director and editor threw their hard work into a trash can of mediocrity.

Little in the way of internal consistency, hand-waved deus-ex-machina, topped by practically no explanation - this apparently is what Star Wars is today. Remember how in Empire Strikes Back, the Rebels and the Empire both seemed like functioning militaries with legitimate technology (albeit with different scales of equipment)? Apparently decades later both sides are completely and utterly incompetent. Remember how we had loads of questions in The Force Awakens? Prepare to have none of them answered, along with key characters getting bridges dropped on them to avoid having to answer some of those awkward questions. The posturing men-children of the First Order (complete with orange hair) are back to make us cringe again, and the commanding women of the Rebellion are back to tell us to keep calm and trust them without any explanation whatsoever. This seems oddly familiar ground... The heroes and villains are done huge disservices by being shoehorned into outcomes that make no sense. Sprinkle some forced humour and a couple of bits of Force 'magic' that trample all that made the original films great, and that about wraps it up.

The excellent showing by Hamill and Ridley as retired Jedi master and aspiring Jedi trainee is intermixed with set piece silliness after set piece silliness in the wider movie. Almost every aspect of the battles make no sense and are just there to provide convenient holes for the paper-thin plot to run into. As an aside, Rogue One did a far better job here; the combat in that movie seemed seriously grounded compared to this outing. From hundreds of stormtroopers vanishing to scenes that go nowhere (I honestly lost track of the number of times the film introduced concepts & characters then promptly forgot about them) to strange attention-seeking moments where the film pauses as if to say 'here, we're making a point here' - the pacing and editing are remarkably poor.

Throw in a good bit of political commentary, because where would Hollywood be without lecturing us poor plebeians, and really, I found TLJ thoroughly disappointing. Fun if you have a short attention span and want to go 'oohh ahh' at all the pretty stuff, but the central and fairly cerebral theme of Star Wars that Lucas built, of Light and Dark and the points of view between, appears to have been force-pushed out the nearest airlock.… Expand

Upfront let me say I am not into Star Wars, Star Trek or, in general, sci-fi movies though I did see the first two of the former and vaguely remember liking them. For the last movie I was to see in 2017 “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” I would put it on my yearly list as one of the worst, most boring, one of the needlessly longest movie of the year but I am afraid if I do they would lynch me!

I read a story recently that Star War fans were upset during showings because they thought at one point in the movie the sound had gone out and was going to stop the movie but the director/screenwriter had purposely done it that way. The distributor, Disney, had asked the critics not to give any spoilers but some did so the audience would know this was not a mistake. Folks the scene lasted 2-3 seconds maybe and a big fuss was made about this?

To me the fuss should have been about the length of 2 hours and 30 minutes which could have easily been shortened just by cutting a couple of the aerial dogfights that just basically repeated the same thing over and over.

A fuss should be made about the obviously placed species that you could just hear Disney saying, “We could make millions with this cute creature”!

I know some of the history of the heroes and two of the villains but, unless it was told in another movie or I missed it in this one, why is Rey picked to be the next Jedi, unless it is politically correct to show another strong woman which the series has always had in Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia and now has another in Laura Dern’s Vice Admiral Holdo?

Previous stars Harrison Ford, Alec Guinness, James Earl Jones, Mark Hamill and the aforementioned Carrie Fisher made strong impressions from their appearance in the first movie but, come on; Adam Driver an inheritor of the Darth Vader role?

I was impressed by Oscar Isaac who has the same throw away style of Ford along with the gravitas the character needs. Kelly Marie Tran stood out as Rose a resistance fighter but I seem to recall John Boyega having, and being, a stronger in the last movie but here he is wasted.

And why oh why does the music have to blast every 5 minutes? To keep the audience awake?

The only good s about “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” was 1) though I thought it would never end it did and 2) it was the first completely free moviepass movie I saw!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. According to Disney, the Force is political correctness

After watching Star Wars VII, The Force Awakens (TFA), I actually had a new hope (pun intended) for the Star Wars franchise. It was fun and exciting, it generally respected the original characters, it introduced new characters, and yes, the old characters was certainly gracefully giving way to the new characters. I thought it was a great way to start the next trilogy. So I was hoping that Star Wars VIII, The Last Jedi (TLJ), would now cement a new set of long-lasting, memorable characters in the guise of Kylo, Rey, Finn, Poe and even the new "Emperor" Snoke. Great scott, I was so wrong. What in the world was that mess all about? The Last Jedi was so crammed with politically correct ideology (all men are stupid and degenerate, all women are clever and enlightened). Characters like Poe that showed so much hope in TFA, even Snokes showed some weight at the beginning of TLJ, and even Luke Skywalker himself, but they ALL completely degenerated into nobodies in TLJ. And oh my goodness, the whole claptrap ideology about women being the enlightened and evolved ones and men being the old patriarchy and degenerating into dumb monkeys is so obvious it made me nauseous. By the end of The Last Jedi, I was dying to re-watch Transformesr 1-5 all over again - at least Michael Bay didn't PRETEND there was a story (nor politically correct ideology) and the effects were good!

The force has indeed awakened, only to fall asleep again... Disney is fast becoming a politically correct school for kids.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So many garbage stuffed in movie just for check. They don't actually reveal heroes, but show you stupid don't funny joke or action and large amount cute animals, hello Disney, bye bye Star Wars. Sanity or reason in this film logic they just forgot to put it. I add 2 points just because some heroes were better shown and some scenes were not bad. But it's one grain of logic in the desert off stupidity.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have loved every Star Wars movie so far, even with all their flaws. But this movie is the worst Star Wars movie I have ever seen and the biggest movie disappointment of the decade. Spoilers ahead.

This movie is just littered with plot holes, it feels like they scraped all their ideas from episode 7 and just came up with their own dumb ideas. The movie fails so early on when they pick up from where episode 7 ended. The introduction to Luke's character is insulting. How incredibly disrespectful to have Luke to throw his fathers lightsaber like that, just for extremely poor comedy. It is just terrible they made one of my favorite fictional heroes into an unlikable, cowardly idiot who apparently has not learned anything over the years. Sure he has learned some new powers, but apperantly he has forgotten everything from the Original Trilogy. He faced his own darkness and won, this internal struggle he goes through was so incredibly unnecessary because he has already faced his own darkness before. They pretty much just turned Luke into a worse version of Yoda. And the big set piece showcase at the end of the movie is so poorly handled that it comes across as a parody. And the worst part is that they also kill him off in the dumbest way possible... His motives also does not make any sense for his character. Such as he does not want anything to do with anyone, but then why did he leave the map for his location in episode 7? Why did he even travel specifically to the first Jedi temple for no real purpose? Why would a character that risked everything to save his friends and his father, somehow just abandon everyone? Even at one point he wanted to kill his own nephew and at the end he says Kylo is completely lost and can't be save anymore. Even Leia agrees with him, are you kidding me!? Luke who saved Vader, who was way more corrupted by the Dark Side than Kylo is, somehow just abandons Kylo Ren to the Dark Side... I never thought I would say this, but I really hate Luke in this movie, because I don't even recognize him as the same character. Mark Hamill is an amazing actor, but I did not feel like I was watching Luke at all... But enough about Luke, I got to move on.

The whole story arc with Finn, Rose and Poe is completely pointless. It leads to nothing, or actually it leads to the deaths of a lot of resistance members. Had they not done anything in the movie, then it would probably have turned out much better. So why would I like these character now when they are just characters who make terrible choices that leads to lots of deaths. And why did not that Holdo woman just tell them the plan, then none of that would have happened.

They also ruined the character of Rey as now she is just someone with no special lineage, but somehow she is beyond powerful even though she has had no training. I did not like that people called her a Mary Sue in TFA, because I always thought there had to be a reason for why she is so powerful. But no, she truly is a Mary Sue and completely one dimensional. I don't care anymore about her character anymore as she has not earned her powers or her place as a real heroine. It also cheapens the force as now it is trivial, anyone can somehow become more powerful than those who have been conceived by the force itself. Small kids can force pull brooms with no guidance or training at all. And who is Snoke? Why is he so powerful? Who knows, they kill him off and leaves another plot hole. And he is like this super powerful sith who can connect Kylo and Rey together from across the galaxy... But somehow can't notice Kylo Ren betraying him in the dumbest way possible. And why did not Kylo Ren use his force powers in the fight that followed?

The writing in this movie is just horrible. So many hamfisted plot points that makes no sense, pointless characters like Rose has way too much screen time for no real reason. One can say that the laws of nature and physics is important in fictionl works such as Star Wars. But when you break the rules in the same movie, then it is a problem. As we are shown that bombs fall inn space in the beginning, but we are shown that there is vacum in space when Leia gets blasted. So did the writers just forgo any form of logic here? There are some cool action sequences and visual scenes, the music and cinematography is amazing. But that is the only thing this movie has going for it and when the context that those aspects are supposed to enhance is complete garbage, it becomes irrelevant. This movie is far below average, I can't believe how bad this movie turned out. And it is baffling to me that such a stupid movie riddled with plot holes have critics praising it. These are supposed to be professional reviewers, how can they not see the glaring issues in this movie? Really shows that one should never trust them.

I do have to congratulate Disney, you ruined the saga for a life time fan. I really have no more interest in this story anymore.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This film does very little to properly advance the plot, mishandles Luke Skywalker's return in the worst way possible, squanders major characters from the previous installment giving them things to do which has nothing at all to do with the overarching plot and does nothing in any way to advance it, and takes major plot points that were being build up to and shuts them down as having been nothing all along, clearly trying to suggest they're 'subverting your expectations' but instead it comes across as lazy, horrible writing.
