There are few key things for Star Wars stories: charismatic characters, force mystery, confrontation of light and dark and adventures.

Plot holes, inconsistencies with previous films and a lack of anything resembling the star wars built up in 1-6 (and even 7). There is clear social manipulation going on when there is such a disparity between critic and user reviews. This film is horrendous in a vacuum, but within in the context of the SW universe its a giant middle finger to every fan of the franchise. Sad times ahead for Star Wars. Like most, I will have to do with the memories of the first 6 films and the quality extended universe cannon that has already been written into books and comics long before Disney took a dump on Star Wars. The 2 is for the music and acting (and so this review is counted in the average user score), both of which while top-notch could not save a horribly written and edited film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's a lot of heroes, and they all have journeys, but you know what Star Wars doesn't have? The Hero's Journey. How can you ever feel a character's triumph if it's not even earned? There are NO stakes to Rey or any character in this story. Everything is "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!", I don't know, I must be this good. It just reeks of narcissism. Is it any wonder that the fans are divided? This has nothing to do with the Star Wars Lore. It's telling a good story. We were setup from the first film to find out why Rey has these great hidden powers and that she would have to train in the ways of the force. She was going to find out who were her parents. This could have been a great character arc. But no instead we were given characters that wins, and achieve the highest powers without trails, tribulation, and no sense of earned victory. Hense Mary Sue. Good Characters don't just achieve greatness because they are so great, they BECOME great through challenges, real dark confrontations, and it's only when they overcome them they are REAL heroes. Why do people love the old Luke? It's because he had to face so many obstacles and tribulations like that his family was murdered, he had to deal with the truth that his greatest enemy was his father. To face Vader meant he had to face himself. He would have to overcome fear all the way to turning to the dark side. He was the only one to believe that there was good in Vader, all the way till he even convinced Vader himself that he was right. All the side plots suffer this point and I don't need to cover them because the end result is the same. I liked some of the character's personality, but personality is not enough to carry a story. Good character development does.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1 point for great visuals.

Another point for sound design. Great music and great sound effects. That's it. Everything else about this movie is atrocious. TLJ is literally one of the worst movies I've ever watched in my life. It's not even about it being a bad Star Wars movie, it's just a bad movie PERIOD.

The plot is nonsensical and the characters are very poorly written. There is so much wrong with this movie 5000 characters won't cut it. If you wanna know how truly awful this movie is, go on YouTube and just type "The Last Jedi Review" and you'll see how garbage this thing is.

This movie is so poorly written that you will literally feel insulted when you watch it. You'll ask yourself "is this how stupid Star Wars' producers think we are, that we'll eat up this garbage?"

It's like the SW board of directors got together, made a long list of things they wanna see in TLJ, and then told the production team "make sure everything in that list is in there; nothing else matters. Butcher the story if you have to just make sure this list is complete".

Awful. It's so bad that I'm literally not gonna watch anymore SW movies. SW movies were never AMAZING to begin with or anything, but they were NEVER.THIS.BAD.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have watched all of the Star Wars movies to date excluding any animated films. The Last Jedi was by far the worst I've seen. The movie seemingly drops many important plots from the Force Awakens and probably due to Rian Johnson's leadership as director. He cared more for practical effects than anything else and I felt that he focused far too much on those aspects rather than on the actual plot of the film.

The immense confusion that came from this movie are listed:
1. Rey suddenly knows how to use a lightsaber with great form.
2. Snoke dies after not revealing much about his character.
3. Learned more about how animals were being mistreated than we learned about Snoke in the two films.
4. Why hasn't anybody tried to use lightspeed to destroy things in the past. (Why didn't the Rebels simply program on send an empty ship at lightspeed toward the Death Star???)
5. How does Snoke not sense the force that Kylo is using to move the lightsaber???
6. Captain Phasma "dies" in the worst way. (UNSURE)
7. Luke DIES in the worst way. Doesn't even go out like a boss. Didn't really do much for most of the movie except mope around and reject Rey.
8. SNOKE DIES??!!
9. Leia suddenly knows force powers???!!!!
10. Rey lifts what I would describe as a SH#T TON of rocks. While Luke (ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL FORCE USERS OF ALL OF STAR WARS LORE) took seemingly weeks to train to lift a rock.
11. REY HAS VIRTUALLY NO TRAINING YET STILL KNOWS HOW TO USE THE FORCE AND WIELD A LIGHTSABER LIKE A TRAINED JEDI!!!
12. Rose Tico is quite possibly the worst character in Star Wars history as she stops Finn from sacrificing himself to save THE WHOLE RESISTANCE.
13. Anticlimactic meeting of Luke and Kylo
14. LUKE DIES????!!!!
15. Luke does an Astral Projection which essentially projects your body to wherever you want it at the cost of your LIFE. WHY??? Luke "saves" the resistance.
16. Why is Leia kept alive after the unfortunate passing of Carrie Fisher and Luke is killed while Mark Hamill is still alive and well and very disappointed in the way Luke was treated.

I can't write anymore I feel this pretty much sums up The Last Jedi.

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

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

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

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know where to begin. I was/am a lifelong starwars fan. Grew up watching the original trilogy. The prequels were "meh" for me, too much CGI not enough character cohesion/chemistry. But this.. this new Star wars by disney is abysmal. it is destroying the franchise, and the universe of Star wars.

1. The mary sue jedi is annoying as hell. So she just magically learns all these abilities because...? oh right.. GIRL POWER! smdh. apparently you can just be a jedi off the bat with absolutely no training. 2. they ruined Luke's character. Nay! assassinated his character. Luke goes from converting DARTH MF VADER back to the 'light side' of the force from only a tiny sliver of hope that he can save him; to trying to kill his nephew because he MIGHT be bad some time in the future? Are you kidding me? Who ever wrote this in, needs to get shot. horrible, just horrible. 3. Killing off characters (for some reason) doesn't always work as a shock or loss. Sometimes it just feels rushed and nonsensical. 4. Leia should have died in the movie, if they wanted to space her that is. Her magically having force powers (that strong) was silly and did nothing but break the immersion. Half the audience laughed at the scene, and it was supposed to be an emotional and tense scene.

5. The whole forced political PC/SJW thing is annoying, and the fact that they keep pushing this makes the movie horrible. There are so many moments where I was just like, "oh for the love of god..." that they take you out of the feeling and immersion.

6. The subplots are dumb. They use smaller crafts to go on "side quests" and keep returning to the space chase... why can't everyone just get on these smaller crafts and escape as such? Again, points to rushed/dumb writers. It's pathetic, and this also makes the movie a jumbled mess. 7. The bad guys (especially the general, who is supposed to be a threatening high ranking officer) are made into comical jokes. Everything is 'tongue and cheek' humor... forced into unnecessary scenes. were the jokes funny? some of them. Were the jokes silly and forced. yes. Nothing says "be afraid" of the bad guys like having the main character joking with them in dire scenes ... sigh...

How does Disney mess up the trilogy so bad when they had the books from the extended universe to base their story from? Just loosely follow the books, and BAM movie gold. But again, some genius (looking at you Kennedy) decided to stuff these movies with sjw drivel instead of focusing on the characters and plot.… Expand

While some of the effects were very good,some just weren't such as when the falcon is on crait shooting tie fighters and then flying through the planet.Just look at how masterfully done the kessel run from Solo is in comparison.
There are continuity errors,plot holes and the film has more tonal shifts than Revenge of the sith and from the very beginning it felt bad with it's out of place,space balls humour (the first order are meant to be frightening for god's sake)and awful,corny new characters.

Some of it was well done such as the stuff on the island with Rey and Luke and i thought their performances were good but what the hell have they done to Luke.
JJ Abrams was respectful and very careful about how he made the force awakens but Johnson has made a shoddy mess and taken everything JJ set up and everything that went before and thrown it out the window.… Expand

1. The first 1 1/2 hours felt like they tried to fit 2 Hours of Spaceballs into the movie: to many jokes, to many stupid punch lines. Anoying
2. Score: uh was that bad.
3. Story: where to begin?
a. That stupid and useless sideplot destroyed the only decent Character (Finn) for TFA
b. Leia flying in Space without a Spacesuit, what dit the secreenwriter smoke? She should have died. Making force users able to live and move in Space is a stupid idea!
c. Hyperspacing into Ships: cool effect, but why did the Rebellion didn't do that with the Death Stars? Droid controlled Frigate hyperspacing into Death Star(s) and not one Rebel life is endangered. Deus ex machina Screenwriting? Alway a bat thing
d. Luke Skywalker giving up his complete ideology and leaving the galaxy high and dry? Who wrote that crap?
e. Why does the Resistance exist in the first place? Why weren't all oft hem part oft he new Republic (which actually existed) ... okay, that is mainly a dumb thing of TFA, but it contuinued to this movie
f. Slow speed chase: why didn't the Empir... ah ... New Order just call for more ships to cut into the Resistances way? Or just jumped in front oft them? Instead they chased them for weeks (remember: Finn and Rose went t that lenghty, useless sidequest)
4. Characters
a. Kylo Ren: still as intimidating as Lord Dark Helmet. And, by the way: Ben ist he Name oft he son of Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker, the Kinds of Han and Leia are Jacen, Jaina and Anakin!
b. General Hux: still a bad Josef G�bbels Joke
c. Chewbacca: he should have eaten all of those anoyying furballs ... what purpose did they have in that movie (except for merchandise)
d. Balldroid: still a stupid and anoyying idea ... by the way: why does it have a coinslot and how many coins can he store? And who came tot he idea repairing something punching ist head into a wiring board and causing a whole bunch of shorts? Hte whole damn X-Wing should have explodet after that stupid droid did that (sorry, electrical engineer speaking ... tha whole thing was stupid)
5. Original Trilogy: everything that happened in the original trilogy has been made irrelevant with Last Jedi (and TFA), except fort he meeting of Han and Leia I believe, that I forgot stuff (a lot), but this covers the most stupid things.
I like Disney, I love what Marvel does under the cover of Disney, but Lucasfilm ... sorry, Luicasfilm went for me from one oft he best studios to one oft he worse:
- Bad Characters
- Bad Continuity
- Bad (and lazy) Screenwriting
- Bad Story

I shouldI expected to be engaged by this movie. My friends were divided between "it's OK" and "it's the worst Star Wars movie ever," but I thought that meant it would be a thoughtful and engaging film given the praise critics heaped upon it. I should have realized nobody said it was a great movie, but I found it the most disappointing film I watched. First of all, the pacing was off and the movie jumps from scene to scene without a realistic time flow. Due to reasons other viewers mentioned, I found it hard to suspend my disbelief despite not exactly having high standards in that department. The acting from the villains was over-the-top and the protagonists' acting was melodramatic-maybe OK if this were a romance movie, but it isn't. Both the protagonists and antagonists acted in a manner that broke verisimilitude and rationality.
I guess it was pretty to look at though, like a Transformers movie. To conclude, this movie failed to make me excited about the sequel or any Star Wars media made under Disney. As critics seem to have a very different definition of a good movie compared to mine, I will not be watching Episode 9 unless the audience reviews are overwhelmingly positive.… Expand

I can't really add anything to the already unnumbered amount of reviews that rip this hot dumpster fire of a movie apart, but I'll list my gripes.

1. Of course, Rey is a Mary Sue and lacks any explanation for her stupid amounts of power. Barely, if not at all, trained in the ways of the Force and she can somehow beat Luke in a duel. I call b.s.

2. Luke's character. Need I say anything? Somehow he went from one of the most positive and hopeful characters of all of mainstream media to being a lonesome, cranky hermit who wanted to kill a Youngling. Yeah no, way to screw over his character, Ryan Johnson. Glad you aren't working on the next movie.

3. Finn's character arc is totally ruined by that Rose chick coming in and knocking him out of the way right before he could take out the cannon. He could've capped off his story by sacrificing his life and doing the exact opposite what he'd been intending to do since the previous film, to run away from the First Order. But alas, gotta have this random chick come in and stop that from happening.

4. The blatant feminism and SJW leanings in this **** movie. The purple-haired lady, Rose, and especially Rey are all examples of it. Rey, the strong female lead, with absolutely NO explanations for her power or how on Earth she could beat Luke Skywalker of all people. Rose, the pointless addition to the cast made to make Finn look like an idiot. And oh joy, purple-haired lady. Literally the most SJW looking character I've ever seen in all of fiction. I needn't rant on, anyone reading this already knows how garbage this movie is. That said, don't go out of your way to watch it if you haven't already. No need to further fuel the left-leaning movie-making machine that is modern Disney. Don't give them that satisfaction.… Expand

Where was the temperance to involve oneself with the legacy? Fast rush to CGI, constant stop and start film 'progression', a side-plot romance that serves no purpose, half a film's worth of lore left to imagination. It did some glorious acting, superb involvement but to a script that was tantamount to a five year old's wishlist, not the continuation of a saga. Key emotional throwbacks to the episodes 4-6 were the only sentimental moments in a plot that lacked direction. A chewed up, discredited lineage development for the main character discarded. A villain built up in the previous movie but dispatched in seconds of encounter. No notion of galactic politics or the balance of forces at the time. Superficially engrossing your audience is not telling a valid story. Whereas Rogue One is an absolute masterpiece, this film learnt nothing. It had every reason to take the failures of Episode 7, take a look at the acclaim of Rogue One and draw the lessons. Rian Johnson should not be let near a classic movie again. Lucky to get 2 out of 10, the actors deserve praise for sticking to it.… Expand

Something that george lucas understand, he improve with the movies and he added a lot of things that make the movies more interesting. The jedis, the force, the sith, all the universe and all the life form's, the star wars universe its incredible big and amazing, but like everything else, it always need it a good director and a good writter.
Lets be honest with this, star wars the force awakens wasn't a very great movie, we all know that, it was bad, but at the end show somethings that made the way more easy to "the last jedi", JJ abrams drop a lot of interesting things to ryan jhonson, JJ abram though that he would develop that and they would help to each other, but nothing more far from that.

Rian **** jhonson made the worst movie of all the franchise, do you think han solo its a bad movie? well, i hope that you came prepared for the great mighty **** that it is "the last jedi", rian took some ideas of JJ abrams just to broke it all, its hilarious in some point. I can't believe that the return of the jedi have an incredible low score and this **** of the last jedi have 8.5, i mean, really? THEY KILL LUKE SKYWALKER WITHOUTH ANY REASON, DAMN! mark hamil hate the new trilogy, yeah even if he got paid to appear, and yeah, he will return in "the ryse of skywalker" but he dont care about the franchise anymore, and a great majority of the fans think the same. all i can say of this **** is just that, its a **** movie for his own, its even worst like a sequel not only of star wars, its bad even as a sequel of the force awakens, which wasnt the big thing but definitely was better than this piece of ****.

i can tell that this movie put the worst ideas, they made the worst version of luke, they killed luke, rey its a mary sue who is actually good without no reason, they killed snok when he was presented like a treath, the rhytm of the movie is slow, and dont made me talk about boring and stupid characters like rose tico or fin.

i will give it a 1 just because a 0 score would mean that it doesnt appear anything, and thats not the case, disney put a lot of things here, the problem is that all the stuff is a incredible disgustin mountain of ****… Expand

It feels like someone made a movie to make fun of SW and its fans. The movie was trash... there was nothing happening that advanced the story or characters. They killed off Luke, and almost all of the resistance, and that is it. Finn became an annoying, obsolete character. Rose was introduced and she was also annoying and unlikable - no offense to the actress though. Anyone with common sense should know that the actress had little to do with what kind of character Rose was, and I do not blame her in the slightest.
Rey was OP. Cool. Sigh... I think Rian Johnson was a terrible choice for this movie. I don't know who in good conscience said it was a good idea to have a trilogy directed by different people with no already planned out story? Like wtf, seriously. Disney, you messed up big time.
This cannot be undone, but Rise of Skywalker and even The Force Awakens were much better movies than The Last Jedi, and had all three of them been directed by the same person, with an overarching vision for where the story and characters would go, we Star Wars fans might have gotten a decent trilogy.
I don't wanna blame RJ for this mess, but he did kind of **** on a lot of beloved characters and lore, and so yeah, he did a terrible job at Star Wars. Barely anything makes sense if you think about it. RJ didn't think anything through... it's a shame.… Expand

As a stand alone movie, detached from reality, broken away from anything else Star Wars and that had 200 million dollars dumped into it, it's okay. As the 9th installment that was supposed to shine as the apex of the grand adventure that George started spanning several generations with an established canon and formula, Disney and Kennedy spit in our faces and ruined what was going to be an amazing series for the past several years. Physically going to George Lucas and throwing away his creative instruction for his own series over Disney money only further incinerated the dumpster fire that was started with the constant bickering and firing of directors and producers. IX made VII and VIII make even less sense, and throws away so much of what was already established as canon. IX does a good job on trying to tie the loose knots that is killing off all male roles, making the sith (Kilo) look like an unconfident **** sorry excuses for character development, worse romance than Twilight had, and story development time wasting. This movie feels like it was rushed, poorly executed, and molded perfectly to please critics and leave the entire body of fans in the gutter. IX is a perfect example of pandering, you can see that divide perfectly between the people and the critics. 6 year old me is still shaking his head over this poor development that was established between Lucas Art's movies, and what was established in VII. I created an account just to convey this disappointment. This isn't the Star Wars we know, this is Disney's portrayal of what they wanted Star Wars to be.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The lore of Star Wars is completely disattended with this movie, with ideas such as hyperspace to destroy enemy ships that could have been used in any other movie to get rid of the first or the second death star, and much more.
This movie seems to push as much as possible with the "subverted expectations" theme. Since when being consistent has been considered bad? Why jokes are needed to take out a little of pathos in dramatic scenes? Why Rose and Finn have to go for that quest with a stupid backstory to end up being completely useless? Why killing Snoke in that stupid way?
Since when Leia can do things using the Force? How much ridicolous is the fight with the red royal guards in Snoke's battleship, with them doing a stupid coreography rather than a decent fight?
Really, how can this movie being considered as any good?… Expand

In the theatre, the humoristic tone fell off, and then when Luke threw away the light saber of his father, I felt betrayed as a fan of VII and as a fan of the entiee saga. Disney doesn’t respect beloved characters, they kill them or change them to be replaced by new forgettable characters that no one can identify with because they don’t struggle. I watched the movie several times since then. And the movie is a piece of trash except for its visual. I consider today this entire trilogy to be non cannon.

To think that a Star Wars film could represent some of the most negative aspects of modern cinema, modern pop culture, fandom, and even society, is the sad reality we live in. Once an institution of imagination, technological achievement andTo think that a Star Wars film could represent some of the most negative aspects of modern cinema, modern pop culture, fandom, and even society, is the sad reality we live in. Once an institution of imagination, technological achievement and effective storytelling simplicity, The Last Jedi becomes the antithesis of what Star Wars once stood for, becoming an icon of one of the most cancerous social mentalities of our times, and its damage, not only to the entertainment industry, but to the cult of fiction (and even the making of such) should not be understated.

It's divisive in a way that it shouldn't, its perplexing in its creative decisions (like infamously firing the director and main creative force half way through the trilogy. Mozel tov, Kathleen Kennedy), and its experimental in extremely unappropiate ways, even going as far as to insult any member of the audience that disagreed to the genius, as if us mere mortals weren't deserving of such a masterpiece. An honor it shouldn't proudly boast of, since its juvenile, "first draft" pimples could be smelled from the back seat of the theater. It gets an extra star for some token efforts in terms of art direction, but that ain't saying much. It isn't enough to consider it "style over substance", even. That's the level of tokenism it executes. Then again, Disney's/Lucasfilm's history of corporate racism and performative activism is evidence enough of their tendencies of tokenism, so that's that. Speaking of which, it makes you feel sorry for the cast, who had to smile through the fallout, in what once was the dream of any aspiring actor, now just a regretful stain in their résumé.

This "movie" hasn't faded into the oblivion of the public consciousness solely on account of its infamous legacy since, as far as its cinematic merits go, its as mediocre as you would expect from a cashgrab sequel, Amazing Spider-Man 2 style, which is not exactly what you paid for in the ticket booth. Its painfully mediocre to the point of frustration (since a greater evil wouldn't be this damaging), barely holding a candle to the likes of Attack of the Clones. At least that one had a decent lightsaber battle, something TLJ couldn't even bother to attempt. Its bland, it undermines the previous movie and its predecessors, it tarnishes its legacy, and it sent pop culture into an obscurantism of sorts. It's fair to deem it "one of the worst sequels of all time", as it truly is an excercise of caution for any aspiring filmmaker, writer, and artist who honestly cares about the craft.

Not even the memes can save this one.… Expand

Poor writing, poor direction, wasted film time on useless side plots, and lack of character development make TLJ a very poorly created film to carry the story forward from The Force Awakens and be the vital bridge as the middle film in a trilogy. Worse, the film betrays the universe as well as original and new characters alike. Maybe the film might half-work as an independent movie, but as a trilogy set piece within a larger overall fictional universe, it utterly fails.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pretty awful film that doesn't make much sense in the context of the star wars galaxy or as a stand alone. Don't understand Luke's characterisation and why they included him if he's not going to act and behave like luke. Some nice action sequences though so it gets 2 for that.… Expand

Vaya, la película es para ponerle un dos y mucho que es, mas bien por lo visual que tiene, ya que ni se respeta a si misma, y la esperaba con muchas ganas, ya que el episodio 7 si me gustó bastante

This was NOT a Star Wars movie. The characters motivations to do what they did made absolutely no sense in the context of what we know about them from Eps 1-7. I left the movie feeling completely conflicted. Enjoying the fun visuals, but having no idea what they are even going to do in Episode 9 with no actual remaining conflict besides Rey and Kylo flying around for a movie before they have a battle? What kind of terrible writing do you have to do to kill off all the interesting characters, character assassinate the other interesting ones and then end the movie with no where to go? Boring boring boring boring. No rewatches required. This made JJ's Episode 7 look like a solid 8-9/10 and the prequels actually worth rewatching. Garbage. Burn it with fire. Not canon.… Expand

The visuals and effects are to notch, as one would expect from a Star Wars film. But that's where the positive ends. The film commits so many atrocities on the story threads and characters that were established in The Force Awakens, that I no longer care about any of the new characters. Opportunity to build on fan favourites Snoke and Phasma were completely thrown away. The plot opportunity of turning Rey to the darkside was missed - how much cooler would that have been. Leia was grossly underused in what would sadly be Carrie Fisher's last Star Wars film, giving way to flat characters with cringeworthy interactions, eg Finn and Rose (with their pointless ventures on Canto Bight) and Poe and Holdo (seriously, the Leia from the original trilogy was a far better example of an empowered female character than the "I have a plan" Holdo). There are other weird choices like the WW2 inspired bombers and world-altering ideas like hyperspace jump abuse. But the worst irreversible offense that this film commits is against the character of Luke Skywalker. I thought Han Solo's treatment in Force Awakens was disappointing, but wow, what a sad treatment of one of the greatest most positive characters in Star Wars. I felt really sorry for Mark Hamill. I don't know how they can recover Episode IX from this garbage.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thoroughly meh for me. Maybe I'm just sick of Star Wars? I just don't care anymore, about the characters or the story, tbh I only watched it so that the inevitable month long RLM cash in material makes sense.

Talking of making sense, spoilers... But why did the baddies spend the entire middle of the film milling about waiting for the goodies to go on adventures (which lead no where) rather than just blowing them all away? We're the goodies too far away? Couldn't they warp speed in front of them?! Also if the goodies can man an entire battleship with one person and fly it into the baddies main ship, why didn't they do that to begin with? They wait til the entire fleet is destroyed before evacuating and kamakazing their big one?! And if Luke was going to push up some flora why didn't he come along in person and do it it would have been the same result and not looked like a weird force illusion thing which was stretching the mumbo jumbo a little far already with the vision chit chats earlier in the film? Also if you're going to knock off an old member of the cast as a sacrifice why not do that with the character who's real life counterpoint has passed? Was that too distasteful? More distasteful than replacing actors with CGI zombies?

Oh I don't care, I don't even want to know the answers, I don't care about the remaining characters enough to come along for 9. I'm out.… Expand

And maybe it was because of high expectations, fueled by rave revievs, but after the screening I was very dissapointed with The Last Jedi. Few "interesting" twists, like 3 (genuinely) funny moments, beautiful visuals. Apart from that - uneven story, parody of the SW universe, facepalm after a facepalm. Maybe it is a movie for 7 year olds? I guess I am not the target audience anymore. It is painful to say but I am not invested in these characters and almost don't look forward to their future adventures at all. I wish it wasn't this way, it is Star Wars after all...

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, I didn't want to watch any trailers or reviews to spoil this movie, which I thought could not be as bad as The Force Awakens; but I was wrong, so wrong, again. You don't need to see any trailers to spoil this movie, you just have to be an avid fan of real Star Wars, and know Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (scene with Snoke) by heart and The Last Jedi is spoiled. Why? Beacuse it's a soft, shallow remake, reboot and mishmash of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi best scenes, but ruined with CGI, EXTREME over-the-top political correctness and weak, uncharismatic main characters, be it villains or heroes or yet undecided/unturned. Compared to this movie and Episode 7, prequel trilogy is a masterpiece (I thought I would never say that!).
I will give this movie a score of 1, just because of the scene in which Luke uses a blade of grass to show Rey how "strong" and what "Force" is?! At least The Last Jedi XXX Parody makers will have easier job of writing "complex" sceneplay; they can just use the "original" script!… Expand

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