This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is one of the best star wars movies, however it is in no way the best star wars movie. Now some people don't like the movie because of some scenes that are in the film and now thats fine not everything works in the movie however there are still some many good scenes that really work. Some story elements are amazing for example Snokes death is one of the best points because it puts Kylo Ren in command of the First order, I feel like this because I really don't think that you need a Palpatine type character in every trilogy. Now I'm not gonna spoil any more of the movie. Now there is something that the people must remember and that is you cannot instantly judge this movie immediately after you come out of the theater. 9.5 star destroyers out of 10… Expand

All this negativity is why we can't have nice things. TFA was too close to the originals and the fans hated it, now TLJ is too far and they hate it. There's no winning.

TFA was too close to the originals and the fans hated it, now TLJ is too far and they hate it. There's no winning. Honestly my rating is a 8.8/9, but someone needs to offset all the 0's. Could have used a little less humor, let us live a little more in the emotion of the moment. That being said at least the jokes worked. SW has always been a little cheesy, and that's okay, but in my opinion they slightly cheapened the maturity of this entry. I liked the movement away from the black and white morality of the series, towards something more real and adult. This is a Star Wars film that's finally willing to acknowledge the grey areas, and I think the series is better for it. Yeah, there are still a lot of toy commercials in this, but it's SW, what do you expect?

All the things you want from the series are here. Space battles, ground battles, adventure, excitement, heroes and villains. The spectacle of it all is amazing, if not a little overlong. The saber duals featured here are by far the best choreography the series has ever seen. No spoilers, but about 2/3 of the way through is a sequence that I don't think Lucas could have conceived on his best day. These expected moments are solid, but what this film really has going for it is when it steps away from those expectations. To start with there's actual character development, believable and relatable character growth! TLJ features some of the most nuanced people I've seen in a major studio franchise film. Finn could have used a little more to work with, but his B-story is still fun, and has some payoff for the future of the series. What always made Han so great was that he felt like a real person dropped into this fantastic world. His presence is missed, but Rey and Kylo make up for this in spades.

This finally feels like a new direction for the series, and as someone who grew up with the original trilogy, I'm happy to move beyond the characters that shaped my childhood. Those characters are still here, and feel so much more real than they ever have before. You can feel the weight of 30 years of war on all of them, especially when you look in Luke's eyes. Life seldom turns out the way you expect it to, and this movie acknowledges that. I think this sentiment is the exact reason so many have trouble with the film, they want a simple story of good versus evil. They want the heroes that they know and love to be challenged, but they also want it to be safe. This movie is not safe. It wants you to see beyond the space opera conflict. To see that the universe is larger than Rebels and Empires. It wants to break the cycle and become something more. I applaud the audacity of this, and enjoyed every moment in the theatre.… Expand

People seem to be angry because they didn't do a remake of the original trilogy like they did with TFA, or they actually developed the characters from the original trilogy nor did they fulfill their ridiculous theories. There seems to be aPeople seem to be angry because they didn't do a remake of the original trilogy like they did with TFA, or they actually developed the characters from the original trilogy nor did they fulfill their ridiculous theories. There seems to be a large portion of the "old fans club" who don't seem to want to see anything new. And there's nothing wrong with disliking the film, but to pour the same amount of vitriol that I see in these reviews is just childish.
It's literally the reason I made this account. (Hello, by the way)
And for reference, I too grew up with Star Wars, actually learnt English from it, played all the games and watched the series. I'm a fanboy too.

The film uses many plot twists and subverts the traditional "hero with an unlikely plan saves the day because he's the hero dammit" trope and is actually realistic about losses and such. Making realistic strategy work and the emphasis on sacrifice refreshes the action scenes leaves anticipation as to what will happen next and who will survive.
Some scenes in particular just mesmerised the whole theatre, the set design, animation, choreography and general aesthetic of the whole film is just beautiful.
Also, Kylo Ren is probably the best character from this trilogy, most certainly better than any prequel arcs.

There's no such thing as a perfect film, but this film does enough right to merit the high score,
I'd say its biggest flaw is probably the set up for Luke, I disagree that he would run away like that (not a spoiler, seen in the previous film), however, I enjoyed how the film continued his story at the end. Ditto Admiral Holdo, both could have been handled better but I liked how their characters evolved.

I can't do 9.5 so I'm rounding it to ten. Equal to a New Hope, not as good as TESB.… Expand

The battles were absolutely edge of your seat intense from the very start. I loved the attention to detail in all the props and costumes and CGI. The new characters were great and as Luke states in the teaser, "this (movie) is not going to go the way you think!"

I have minor gripes but I won't go into spoilers. They could have trimmed some time from scenes. I believe there was line in that was intended to be comedic but fell a bit flat. Other than that, this was an absolute triumph! I cannot for the life me understand why some fans have given it such a negative review other than there is a certain subsection of our society which have all lost their minds at the moment. So take their reviews with a gigantic grain of salt.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would say this is now my second favourite movie in the whole franchise (may become my favourite but need to watch this one as many times as I have the others to make a fair call on that one) and being in my late 20's this is the best SW film I have seen in a cinema. Adam Driver is much less of an angry-teen-type as Kylo Ren in this one and I loved seeing the "light"er side of him. The space battles in this movie gave me anxiety but in a good way, I didn't know whether to close my eyes or sit on the edge of my seat. When I thought about it on the way home some of the lesser characters arcs seemed to be a bit unnecessary but I think they exist to serve the idea that not everyone has to be some revered hero. I got very emotional seeing some older characters return but also was wow'ed by the new sets. The standout part of the film for me was the costume design particularly on some of the newer, more red enemies. I will definitely be watching this a couple more times at the Cinema and I cannot wait to get this on a home release so I can pick it apart even more.… Expand

In this one, we get a lot of creative twist and turns, engaging story arcs, some genuine surprises and an abundance of thrilling action sequences.

While I could nitpick about certain bit moments, the only thing I wasn’t really crazy about some scenes involving Finn’s subplot - those could have been handled better, in my opinion. That said, I am so happy with this movie. I will definitely be seeing this one multiple times in the theaters.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have absolutely no idea how this film is getting bad ratings.

Well actually, that's not true. I do know. Fanboys.

I'm not sure what direction some of you wanted this movie to take, but as a lifelong fan of the series, old enough to see the original when it and I were still young I was delighted when Rey's turned out to NOT be the offspring of anyone prominent or shocking.

I also felt that the handling of the Rey and Kylo's struggles with the force was spot-on, as was the explanation and exploration of Luke's failure. The way each of these characters expressed subtle emotions and soul-searching in these scenes was night and day from Anakin Skywalker's "turning" in the prequels. In fact, while I've never been as down on those movies as some, seeing similar scenarios and processes handled well, makes me feel worse for what those movies could have been.

Could we have learned more about Snoke? Sure.

Did some of the last-ditch "saves" feel a bit stretched? Indeed - but that's true of not just every Star Wars movie, but just about any film of this nature ever made.

For the most part though, this movie was incredible. It avoided being predictable, while being careful not to go with the polar opposite of the expected outcome often enough that it became crass.

I'm not sure how you can watch this and say that the characters don't undergo development. I mean, the way detractors are talking, you'd think the original trilogy fully explored Han Solo's history, background and motivation. Do we even know how he became best friends with a Wookie? Nope. We didn't need to. Tying up loose ends was my biggest issue with the prequels. Boba Fett was cool because he had a menacing demeanor, a cool look and he was mysterious. Knowing his backstory, literally removed one of his defining characteristics.

Personally, I think TLJ stands with Empire as one of the greatest films in the series.

Oh, and an enormous THANK YOU for returning Yoda to his wise but wryly mischievous self. After the stilted, pompous, joyless, one-dimesional know-it-all that episodes I-III presented us with, it was literally a joy to see the restoration of my favorite character.… Expand

As result we have gotten one of the most exhilarating cinema experiences of the last decade. Nothing I expected to happen happened leaving me in awe, I have seen many viewers disliking this movie as result of it subverting their own head cannon. But too me and I am sure many the risks this movie took really heighten it above other star wars movies. While the plot is somewhat lacklustre, this movie instead focuses on the characters letting Rey, Kylo and Luke shine. Additionally what allows this movie to have a leg up on other star wars movies is the sense of urgency felt throughout the movie (Besides the Rose and Finn Subplot which is definitely the worst part about the movie) you are truly on the edge of your seat throughout the movie unsure about who will make it through to episode 9. While there are some weak moments there are many amazing moments throughout that definitely outweighs the weak. I cant forget to mention how gorgeous this movie looks, one of the many highlights of the movie is that it is a visual masterpiece.… Expand

I loved this film, it was brave enough to take these beloved characters in fresh and unexpected directions as well as tell a story in such a way that many modern blockbusters wouldn't dare attempt. Mark Hamill deserves an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Luke, such a heavy performance that expertly conveys the loss and hopelessness that Luke feels. Ridley, Boyega and Isaac were great once again with another stand-out being Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, furthering a character that is quickly overtaking Darth Vader as the best Star Wars villain.

I really appreciated the way the film grapples with themes of disappointment and failure. It would have been really easy to make a Star Wars movie that pandered to exactly what fans and mainstream audiences wanted to see (arguably, The Force Awakens does that a bit too much), but I don't think that would have made for a compelling narrative. Sure, there are flaws with the plot of The Last Jedi, but none are so overwhelming that they overshadow the central point of the movie: we must learn from our failures as much as our successes, our weaknesses as much as our strengths. I thought Rian Johnson communicated an emotionally and philosophically complex story that really delivered. If you've grappled with grief and disillusionment in a serious way, this may be your favorite Star Wars film. I know it's one of mine. Thank you, Rian Johnson, for making a Star Wars film that was so different from and better than my expectations. I look forward to your future Star Wars films!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie delivers one of the biggest "wtf"-moments you'll see in your life in theaters, and has delightful performances by Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill and so many more of the cast.
Some characters die before you really get to know them, which feels a bit like a shame but which is what the extended universe is for I guess. Finn's entire storyline does feel exactly the same as it was in TFA, which is a shame and the worst bit of the movie for me. They could have been more original in that regard.
Johnson made some decisions I wouldn't have made in writing and shooting the movie, but all in all it is a great movie, with its heart in the right place, and which might leave people a bit depressed at the end of it.

The lesson of this movie is failure, but I look forward to how much higher these characters will be able to soar in the last chapter of this trilogy.

The creature designs were amazing and used at the appropriate times to bring some lightheartedness into an otherwise very dark movie.… Expand

So let the angry fans shouting hate, by pointing plot issues, their own projections toward character - all of this doesn't have sense : the Last Jedi is an analogy, one that combines so well with the rest of the saga, an analogy of how is our world, our politics, our moral judgements and more. People should focus on these aspects rather than reducing a movie - which is a piece of art - to a cartoon, to a sum of characters, to a simple story. Star Wars has always been a contradiction between scale, between a family drama and a powers ruling the entire galaxy, a contradiction that remind us of our own world. The last scene of the Last Jedi is just showing us how can we handle this, it gives us hope.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi (in my opinion) is one of the best films of the year. It has stunning visuals, great action, the cast is great, and a fantastic score from John Williams. Although it is a little slow at times, the film is very pleasing. Here are a few tips for the haters of this film: As Kylo Ren says in the film, "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to." For everyone who is saying that TLJ is "Ruining Star Wars" or "Killing the franchise," think about this: Star Wars is heading in a new direction. You can't expect it to be exactly the same as the original trilogy, otherwise it will feel old and bloated. They have to make changes for it to feel fresh and new. They have to introduce new ideas, characters, and concepts. I guess that the people who think that Star Wars is ruined are people who aren't able accept new facts and ideas that ACTUALLY WORK for the franchise. For everyone who is complaining about the Snoke scene: If we didn't have the prequels, we would know just as much about Palpatine as we do Snoke. Therefore, he isn't supposed to be a major player in the story. For people who thought the casino planet was unnecessary: Yes, it did slow the story down a little bit, but I think it humanizes the movie. Sometimes we fail at something we think needs to be done, but then we realize it was never necessary. I think it makes the film a little more relatable. For people who say "It destroys the original characters." Our favorite characters such as Luke, Leia, and Han are still human. They have human issues and problems pop up in their lives. So for those who keep saying that the film is ruining the characters because they didn't make them "perfect" and "flawless" like many people thought that they would become after Return of the Jedi, remember that these characters are humans and make mistakes and aren't god-like beings. I could go deeper into these, but I'm not going to. If you haven't seen the film yet and aren't sure what to do because of all the negative haters out there, don't listen to them. They think they can drag you away from the film and they want to bring down as many people as they can with them. Go watch this movie and see how great it is.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILER ALERT!!!!

O novo episódio de "Guerra nas Estrelas'' joga com a expectativa criada de que seria um remake d'O Império contra-ataca, de modo similar que ''O Despertar da Força'' emula ''Uma Nova Esperança''. As situações estão todas lá, construídas perfeitamente para que os mesmos jargões sejam usados de forma segura e nostálgica. No entanto, os temas subjacentes sofrem mudanças importantes, e a solução do conflito tende sempre à surpresa.

E são todas ótimas surpresas, que revigoram a mitologia da saga ao mesmo tempo que permitem a expansão de seu universo. Os avisos de Luke para Rey, ''Isso não vai se passar do modo que você imagina'' e ''O que você acha que eu faria, pegaria uma espada laser e sairia pela galáxia para dizimar a Primeira Ordem?'', são emblemas que permitem ao roteirista Rian C. Johnson navegar por mares conhecidos através de correntes pouco aproveitadas.

Assim com em "O Império contra-ataca", dois arcos principais se desenvolvem simultaneamente até que confluem no terceiro ato. No primeiro deles, espera-se uma reedição do treinamento em Dagobah. Rey é enviada pela Resistência e apresenta a Luke as credenciais de ter sido recomendada por Leia.

Assim como Yoda, Luke se mostra relutante em relação a nova discípula, mas por motivos bem diferentes. O mestre sabe que o conflito entre os jedi e os sith cega para uma harmonia maior, que, ao ser ignorada, reproduz o embate em escala ampliada. Desse modo, sua decisão é se isolar na ilha mais sagrada da Ordem até encontrar a paz necessária para que possa morrer, levando consigo todo o legado do qual se tornaria o último representante. Skywalker concede três lições a Rey, buscando fazer com que a moça compreenda a necessidade do fim dos Jedi. Por trás de todos os vínculos se esconde esse poder, essa força, que também está presente em todos os seres. Luke demonstra a vaidade que está por trás da crença de que a ''luz se extinguiria sem os Jedi''.

Não que o nosso heroi se livre da tentação do apego à realidade em que cresceu. Ele hesita quando se trata de destruir a árvore sagrada da Ordem, que marca seu centro cósmico e esconde seus textos originais. Luke não sabe se a hora realmente chegou. Sua indecisão é rompida pela presença mágica de Yoda, que coloca fim à materialidade da história Jedi e dá uma lição no antigo discípulo: não há nada nos livros destruídos que Rey já não soubesse, e não cabe a esse ou aquele mestre estabelecer a hora do término do conflito entre luz e sombras. O que cabe ao mestre é transmitir o que aprendeu, incluindo o poder que se esconde por trás de seus fracassos.

Rey, por sua vez, continua em sua jornada marcada pela carência de raízes. Ela projeta a figura paterna em Skywalker, do mesmo modo que projetara em Han Solo. Sua ânsia pelo fim da rejeição a leva diretamente para o confronto contra o lado obscuro, e ela vê seus múltiplos e aparentemente infindáveis reflexos, que representam camadas de seu ser, em uma sucessão desesperadora que, quando enfrentada, a conduz mais uma vez a si mesma e à sua própria solidão. Essa solidão, por sua vez, a abre para a influência de Ben Solo.

O líder dos cavaleiros de Ren também enfrenta o mesmo tema da libertação de qualquer dualidade, que nele toma a forma de ruptura com o passado. O novo deve suplantar o contexto e as estruturas já estabelecidas. Luz, sombras, Jedi, Sith, pais, mestres, rebeldes, Império pertenceriam ao passado da saga. O futuro está em seu vínculo com Rey, cuja carência pretende suprir ao revelar à menina aquilo que ela já desconfiava: ela não é ''ninguém'', não pertence a nenhuma linhagem nobre que lhe dê direito de tomar parte significativa na história dos Skywalker. Seu papel seria dependente de sua relação com o filho de Han e Leia.… Expand

Loved the movie, It was unique I noticed none of the main characters succeeded, this is a film, about failure and looking to the future, failure is important to the human condition, just as The Last Jedi is important for the future of Star Wars.

If you go into it with no expectations, it's one of the best movies you will ever see. The movie doesn't do what you think and in that sense is very refreshing for a Star Wars film. I love that Rey is a "nobody". I love Poe's plan didn't work out. I love that they didn't blow up a death star thing. It doesn't follow the Star Wars script like Force Awakens or Rogue One (the worst Star Wars movie ever made), in that theres isn't a space battle, a light saber fight, and a land battle all going on at once.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best Star Wars movie since Empire, if not since 1977. The haters are just wrong - they got turned off by opening 90 seconds of admittedly not very good jokes, which I think jolted them out of the heart-felt brilliance of the remaining 150 minutes. I spent the second half of the movie either in a mess of tears at seeing old friends reunite and rediscover their heroic resolve or mentally punching the air with cathartic joy as Rian Johnson bought together epic visual (and vehicle) design, heroic self-sacrifice, and the most successful evocation of that ’Star Wars’ vibe since the 80s (SPOILERS FROM NOW): ramming the Snoke ship at light speed, the heroic lone bomber fighter in the opening battle, the falcon intervening in the Crait battle, those speeders, all of Mark Hamill (but in particular his emotionally devastating and surprisingly athletic final lightsabre showdown with Kylo Ren - the power of this duel is quite subtle and will take a second watch to sink in), fleets of ships desperately warping through the galaxy under imperial onslaught. I even loved the middle section: my favourite childhood movie franchise showing some moral heart by raising a wish-fulfilling middle finger to the 1%, which is a really on-f***ing point message during a time of shameless inequality. Full marks for Johnson for writing it into the film. Full marks also for killing off Phasma (‘You’re Scum! Yeah, but rebel scum’ - freaking epic line!) and Snoke (what is with that terrible name), who were dead weight on the series and their absence sets up episode 9 a much cleaner Good vs. Evil final confrontation. The humour was laugh out loud: BB8’s impersonation of a mouse droid, C3P0 not being allowed to finish calculating the odds of survival, Finn playing up his ‘resistance hero’ status, Rey ‘reaching out’, Yoda rediscovering his original playful teaching methods, Luke’s ‘not-busy schedule’. Great performances by everyone (Boyega, Ridley, Carrie Tran, Oscar Isaacs all have difficult parts in this film) but Hamill and Fisher steal it, with Fisher seeming much more on her game than in TFA. But this is Hamill’s movie - he is oscar worthy (best supporting, plz), successfully conveying a heartbroken former warrior whose heroic spirit is re-awoken in time for a final showdown, and he even resurrected some youthful attitude, spirit and cunning in his performance.

If you hated it I challenge you to go back and see it again and forget about the opening minutes - I’m confident the star wars joy will sink in over time. Empire was pretty bad in places but is overall amazing (we seem to always forget about C3PO’s constant whining, the stupidly repeated ’the hyperdrive is broken again’ plotting, the boring parts of Cloud city). I ****ing love this movie.… Expand

The reviewsI enjoyed this movie immensely and I have been a Star Wars fan for 30 years. I’ve read the EU books and comics, played the story expanding games like Force Unleashed, and spent time discussing unimportant facts about the Universe. The reviews claiming that this movie betrays the Star Wars universe are strangely obsessed with the idea of having a movie that would rehash the same old Star Wars tropes from the first trilogy. They complain about time spent on developing a character like Rose and they pine for more pointless Jedi training scenes of sitting cross-legged to levitate rocks. Instead of that tired business, this film gives real screen time to establishing a new set of characters and their motives. Instead of a generic bad guy who wants to rule the galaxy for the sake of evil, you get a character with a unique conflict towards the main protagonists. It’s worth your time and I highly recommend seeing it.… Expand

A satisfying film that effectively ties up many of the plot threads introduced in The Force Awakens while expanding on characters both old and new in surprising and believable ways. The humor is often a bit more "modern" than the previousA satisfying film that effectively ties up many of the plot threads introduced in The Force Awakens while expanding on characters both old and new in surprising and believable ways. The humor is often a bit more "modern" than the previous movies, but doesn't get in the way of the story and adds levity in a natural way. The Last Jedi deviates surprisingly far from a standard three-act structure, which can make the film feel disjointed at times, especially with many characters' plotlines unfolding at the same time. However, dramatic tension/release is doled out in a way that keeps the film tense and engaging despite its length. I did find myself noticing how long the film had gone on about the 1h50m mark, but was quickly recaptured by an excellent last act.

As a meta-Metacritic aside, I feel the people complaining about the Porgs' incredibly brief and unobtrusive appearance in this film is probably just suffering from some kind of Minions-induced trauma, because they stay out of the way of the film's momentum and aren't obnoxious like some other Star Wars creatures have been (see: Gungans and Ewoks).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only the dudebros or the uneducated don't get this movie. It is a nuanced, intelligent film that has gone over the heads of, at this time of writing, 1,333 metacritic users. The complaints that the film is geared toward getting a broader audience demographic is sheer sexist nonsense from those who don't want to see women in power. The issues people have with Luke not coming out of retirement to laser-sword Snoke, Ben Solo, and the rest of the first order is a bunch of kids being butthurt that their fantasies haven't been fulfilled. They would set aside all of Luke's history - has lack of training, his stubbornness, his defeatism - and turn him into a powerhouse Jedi saviour. Well folks, it doesn't work that way. This movie captured his flaws perfectly and developed a reasonable outcome from those issues. Best movie of the new series so far and sets the universe up for an incredible finale in Star Wars 9.… Expand

The movie has humour? YES

But you know what even the Empire strikes back have both of them, this movie is fun, vvery enjoynable and with epic moments like the Luke ones.

People who are stting only 0 because of hate to Disney has no idea about Star Wars or movies in general.

Watch again the old trilogy and tell me there are no jokes in sad moments or not explained plots in them (WHO THE **** IS THE EMPEROR IN EPISODE VI WITHOUT THE PREQUELS).

You can dont like he movie but do fake accounts only to put 0 hundreds of times? Please.... sure that a big amount of the people who scored like that went to the cinema 2 or more times. PATHETIC.

This movie is AWESOME and FRESH.… Expand

The first time I watched this movie I felt confused and started picking it apart. I thought there were gaping holes and unexplained or unnecessary plot devices, but instead of settling on that I went back for repeat viewings. Once the shock of everything that happens was no longer a factor, I started to notice the nuances of the story. This movie doesn't beat you over the head with its ideas, but all the bits I thought had holes turned out to have been in front of my nose the whole time. Every question I had about why a character did what the did was there for me, in a part of the film.

This film will divide the fans from the fanatics, and that's okay. In any case, drop your preconceived notions and expectations, and let the story take you in. See it a few times to get all the bits you didn't get the first time. You'll be glad you did.… Expand

I enjoyed the movie. Before you think "Wow you must have a terrible taste of movies" it's important to understand I recognize that this movie had flaws. I wish certain things were better, but in the long run, it isn't a trash movie.

I played every video game, read every lousy "Expanded Universe" book. I suffered through the prequel trilogy, and the series lost its luster for me quite a bit. Then Disney took over from George Lucas's tired hands, and my childhood returned. The Force Awakens was quite well done, even if it was an overly safe and derivative copy of my original passion. Rogue One was absolutely spectacular in every possible way. But The Last Jedi? Rian Johnson subverted every expectation, and he did it without sacrificing ANYTHING that makes Star Wars what it originally was. People rating this badly were likely the same few who actually enjoyed the prequel drivel. This returned to the original style of simple, tight plots, strong humor, character-driven narratives and action, but at the same time took the story in entirely new directions. Simply the best Star Wars since Empire Strikes Back. Disney has returned me to my childhood, 40 years ago.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On one level, I get where the backlash is coming from (it's at least partially bots), but the things that are upsetting some fans are why The Last Jedi works so well. The very first line in the previous movie was "this should begin to put things right" and Episode VII did just that. It was basically a remake, but it restored faith in a series that many had felt lost it's way with the prequels.

If you were to encapsulate this movie in a single line it would be "this isn't going to go how you think" and the movie opens by defying all expectations, where some of the first dialogue is one of our heroes making fun of one of our villains. We're basically picking up from right after where the last movie left us, with the Resistance abandoning their base as they're hunted down by the first order. After an exhilarating space battle, we pick up with Luke and Rey, on a remote island. It's not two seconds since the last movie ended, and once again, your expectations are challenged when Luke Skywalker takes his lightsaber and casually tosses it over his shoulder and goes back to being a hermit, despite Rey's insistence that he train her. The movie continues on like that through all kinds of major twists and turns, which eventually upend much of what was set up in the previous film and leaves us in a spot where we are set up to once again be surprised by whatever is in store for the next installment.… Expand

Great movie, it destroys expectations, but not in a bad way. It was good for the storytelling aspect of star wars. Because why watch a film knowing whats going to happen? That doesnt sound very fun. Great direction, Great plot, Perfect sprinkle of humour in it, and twists expectations enough so it is a movie where you could get surprised at, you could get excited for because you didnt already guess what was gonna happen.… Expand
