I can't believe these are the best screenwriters and the greatest vision a company like Disney could find. Like the first movie this is just one action set piece after another stitched together with little regard for story or character. Another installment of modern Hollywoods lust for mediocrity, jamming undeveloped characters and plot in between glitzy CGI action scenes. If you asked 100 liberal arts graduates to write a Star Wars trilogy I believe nearly all of them would be better than this bland superficial pile of crap. In almost every scene I could practically hear some obnoxious salesman writer/director/producer pitch the scene to corporate executives who are barely listening. This is basically a Star Wars installment of Transformers.… Expand

This is not Star Wars. This is a bad Marvel movie, where the focus is on comedy but the comedy is on the level of poop jokes.

The movie is so bad it ruins watching the entire franchise.

This movie is really RTEALLY bad..
Yeah the Left/SJW stuff is overly cringe,
but what they did to Luke Skywalker is a crime.
The EU/Legends books are a 100% more post ROTJ story you and 99% are wanting.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a fan of the original Star Wars trilogy I hated this movie.
Especially all the bad attempts at being "funny". I don't want a Star Wars movie that has jokes for little 3yr-olds.
Just stop all this stupid slapstick nonsense when it isn't even funny.

Also don't introduce characters like Snoke or Phasma wenn they are just killed without knowing anything about them.

And stop casting actors only to make the movie more "diverse".
Nobody wants a "diverse movie". What people want is a "good movie" instead.

Also the movie didn't give a s*** about the last one (which itself was also not very good).

Basically it is a Return of the Jedi ripoff that has a stupid Hoth-like scene.
The movie is way too long for it's content.

I never thought I would hope for George Lucas to return. Oh my god that's how much I hated it.

Everything that Luke does in this movie is stupid.… Expand

The 0 score is because this movie craps all over the Star Wars established universe, it ruins Luke's character, the plot makes NO sense at all, they try to constantly shove political message every chance they get.
This movie KILLED Star Wars.

Rey and Kylo Ren try to bring each other on their sides about a half of the film, but in the end in a moment they just turn back. Princess Leia's fake death is hilariuos. Finn and Poe are useless. Kylo Ren's and Hux's constant hysterics are annoying. The more the newest trilogy continues, the more i appreciate the new trilogy (1999-2005).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is utter garbage. Right off the bat, a space chase like that is not physically viable, basic weightlessness in space means ships would only accelerate and never slow down. There is so many plot holes, needless characters (who is also brilliantly uninteresting)and useless lightsabers (also wrongly named laser swords) bad fights (enemies clearly aiming for weapons not persons) and a plot that make me want to vomit.

Worse then the already garbage prequel. Not to mention a starsystem killing weapon makes no strategic sense, who are you going to rule after blowing up all the people and resources of entire systems? My 10 year old nephew makes better stories, let alone actual writers... Disney did exactly what we all feared, mucked up starwars to a be parody of the "real movies"

The writers and directors should be ashamed. The story makes no sense, the characters make no sense, even the enemies are bad. The big badass snookiiee cant foresee his own death? and his guards are useless (literally dropping weapons and throwing themselves into death) Damn, even the last bit makes no sense, ehmm why huddle outside the BLASTPROOF doors, maybe wait inside and deny the enemy use of the walkers ex. Finn finally getting his moment only to have it taken away (btw how she catch up and overtake him??) DAMN this movie is SO bad! - only the latest Predators movie is worse (but that one really IS worse and death of the Franchise) This is the death thrones of the Star Wars saga coming to a abrupt end. Rouge one gave a glimmer of hope that maybe Disney wouldn't Gak it all up, but Noooo.. Worst movie in Starwars universe, in all time, meta, expanded included (which says a lot)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie seems to be blatant terrorist propaganda with strong communist undertones. The characters are all very two-dimensional, with the exception of characters who were already developed in previous movies. As an example, animals are given intelligence and personalities, convincing Chewbacca not to eat meat. The comic relief is very poor.

Several scenes, such as Luke tossing a lightsaber behind himself, or Snoke's red guards standing at ready, look like they were forced into one take regardless of the fumbling.

The choice of actors is very poor. Kylo Ren and Luke Skywalker acted well, the rest may as well have been fumbling over lines. Much of the awkwardness can easily be attributed to unfamiliarity with the part rather than being a part of the actual character. The sum of the characters actions appears to be nothing, as the movie ends with nothing accomplished and only a handful of rebels left.

The most glaring flaw of all, to me, is this sudden realization that you can accelerate a ship to lightspeed through another ship. If that is possible in this universe, then it would have already been done for so many other purposes. Lightspeed weapons would easily crack planets. Lightspeed weapons would have nearly unlimited range to take out ships. As even small craft can achieve lightspeed, the idea that this is possible completely turns the entire star wars universe on its own head.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was a massive waste of potential.
As a stand alone movie is poor at best, but as a movie in the saga is just a terrible episode.
The story is a mess, Rey plot was for nothing, Finn plot was for nothing, Poe plot was for nothing.
I wish to see a meaningful movie, but every theme in this movie is wortless, get to nowhere and is so meesy that even a child get a confused idea about it. Like for example, rich are bad, then why we do? Break the casino and terrorize them, and free the animals too, that sure will help.

Snoke, Chewbaca, Phasma, Ackbar, Hux, Poe and many other character were so useless in the movie.

The movie should deserve a 2/10 or 3/10, but the specialized critique make me vote 0, to compensate for their lies… Expand

The Star Wars we grew up with had so many systems, civilisations, ways of life and rich characters to love. The Last Jedi does not do any of this.

Instead, what Disney is doing with the series is replacing the world-building with endless montages of cheap climaxes. Mind you that they are fun to watch at first, but they leave you empty and bitter afterwards because they were just cheap thrills that actually destroy the world Star Wars is built upon. The Last Jedi resembles more of a cheesy soap opera than the science fiction epic that was the pre-Disney Star Wars. That is why fans absolutely hate this movie and what Disney is doing with the Star Wars franchise.… Expand

Before the movies came out I kept seeing Mark Hamill interviews where he was trying to tactfully voice decent with the direction the movie was going. In one interview he actually states "I fundamentally disagree with everything (the writers) think about Luke." Man was he right. The Force Awakens left so many enticing questions to be answered, along with a bevy of mysterious characters who we all wanted to learn more about. The Last Jedi, not only fails to answer ANY important questions, it destroys the possibility or reason to ever answer them in a meaningful way (either through cheap and banal plot devices or outright character death). As in The Force Awakens the characters all have fast paced adventures while completely avoiding any interesting or meaningful character arcs. The movie is beautiful, but its all eye candy and no substance. Like eating a pile of real candy the initial sugar rush fades and you are left with nothing but the proverbial tummy ache. The more time I have to reflect on the film the more I think it was

1. Terrible.
2. May actually have fundamentally broken the Star Wars world. Perhaps it can be saved, but at this point I can't see how. It looks like Star Wars will end not with a bang but with a whimper.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The denial I experienced leaving the AMC theater after watching this abomination was unprecedented. I refused to believe it at first. Denial and rationalizations galore! "Mark Hamill is in it! Kylo Ren's character is slightly more developed from a plank of petrified wood! Princess Leia can fly through space with no helmet! Snoke dies with zero character development in the most pathetic ending to a villain in cinematic history! The graphics are nice! Who cares that the plot makes no sense and that Luke Skywalkers character was destroyed just before he dies?"

Nope...my denial has cracked. This movie is pure garbage. It is WORSE than the Star Wars prequels by a longshot. I never thought that was even possible, and Force Awakens and Rebel One was damn fine improvements. This movie takes a huge steaming **** on all of them. Laughable camerawork, terrible progression and the worst character development ever. Now Luke Skywalker, the hero of the galaxy is a whiny emo pessimist who **** and complains. Yoda doesn't give a **** about him burning down the Jedi Temple for no reason. Leia gets shot into space and somehow uses the Force to save her own life, but doesn't know to use to Force to prevent the Rebels from walking into a trap? ****ty pointless scenes everywhere, like the stupid casino scene which has pointless moralizing and substandard characters. All the characters are downright awful. The worst offense is Snoke, this character that was hyped to oblivion is completely useless and is betrayed by Kylo Ren in such anti-climatic fashion, untoasted white bread that is eaten on mayonnaise and stale rotting ketchup remain less mediocre in execution. The ending is god awful, what exactly does Luke Skywalker die for? So that his apprentice who gets force powers with no effort can fight the boring Kylo Ren? **** Kylo Ren, he is a terrible character who is a travesty compared to the might of Darth Vader. Did I mention how boring and disjointed everything is?! Transistions occur out of nowhere and you have no time to adjust to any scene before the director farts out another useless transistion in your face to another filler scene which goes nowhere!

Bottom line: The Last Jedi is the WORST Star Wars movie ever made. It is so awful it defies all logic and any sane comprehension. Avoid this monster of a film at all costs and boycott future Star Wars installments unless the entire directing team is rebuilt from the ground up. When Mark Hamill himself says he hated this movie, you know that you have officially RUINED Star Wars. Shameful display Disney...shameful abomination. Worst movie of 2018 BY FAR.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is much to dislike here. But the main problem is Rian Johnson doesn't seem to realise he is making the 2nd movie in a trilogy, or that he is making a Star Wars film.

None of the character arcs from TFA were dealt with in a meaningful way. Rey's background: there is none. But she is very competent with the force (bested Kylo in TFA having just picked up a lightsaber). Without training. granted she might be another Anakin type figure who comes from no where. But even the chosen one needed extensive training. Snoke: TFA looked to be setting up a good vs evil battle between Snoke/Kylo and Luke/Rey. The premise of TFA is the search for Luke whom Snoke is genuinely fearful of. Sounds like a classic Star Wars story arc to build the new trilogy on. Nope. Snoke is dispatched with no new information about him.

Luke: this is not the same Luke. Granted he may have changed over the years. But to believe that the guy who put it all on the line to go against Vader & Palpatine, because he believed there was some good in Anakin, would even consider killing his nephew is nonsense.

I could go on. The buffoon Hux, flying Leia, the kiss, animal convservation, the rebellion reduced to standing room on the Millenium falson, blue milk etc. It seems like Disney is destroying all remnants of Lucas's Star Wars to build their own version. They should just be careful they don't destroy the fanbase in the process.… Expand

Every time any main character appear, it will remind you of how much you had been spending on that online casino and regret your life. It will also remind you of that game canon which is also consider 'real canon'. Where Luke Skywalker fight bug in cave, to save generic imperial cannon fodder who has Nazi's SS personality.

Joke aside, now let go to the movie.

Movie?..... dammit, I can't remember anything about the movie. All I remember is how everything appear in this movie will be used to lure kid to gambling more and more. The movie seem like product placement at its finest without caring a single thing about Star War and what Star War is. And yeah, the whole plot can be sum into... "go out and buy these toys for your kid". That's how forgetful the movie is.
The other way to summarized the movie plot is... Superficial plot of original trilogy reskin.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Whoever made this movie needs to be drawn and quartered. I did not like the cookie cutter story line. 1. It was so perfectly cut that one could cleanly remove a part of the movie and it wouldn't impact the movie in any way.

2. Too easy to figure out the outcome of the story.

3. The animals in this movie have absolutely nothing on the Ewoks or even R2D2 for that matter.

4. The movie does an overall horrible job at showing enough variety of the Star Wars Universe.

5. The movie acts like it's 5 years after the Force Awakens but it's clearly literally a day after The Force Awakens. It leaves the audience absolutely zero sense of awareness of what time it is in this story line. They're just making this stuff as they go it seems...



Finally #6. The training of Rey is 100% Unbelievable, she reaches the level of Jedi Knight with absolutely no effort compared to "all" of the previous movies.

Makes no sense at all in this movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. - No need to respect concepts and characters already released in the original trilogy or prequels.

- Story and plot make no sense (i.e. running out of resources to jump to light speed so most of the film consists of the First Order shooting but not eliminating the Resistance fleet, Luke utterly failing in every way imaginable post Return of the Jedi, Snoke going no where and just dying easily, Rey's parents being nothing but junkers who sold her for drinking money, the adventures of black guy and Asian girl simply for the sake of diversity not because it makes any sense, etc.)

+ Some originality (Kylo Ren being evil but not scary or intimidating).

- Clear feminist agenda throughout that is distracting and unnecessary.

- Porgs.

- Yoda's puppet looks **** terrible. And his dialogue is atrocious. Where the **** is force ghost Obi-Wan?!

- This film and the Force Awakens **** all over the legacy of the original trilogy. What was the point if galactic history completely repeated itself 35 years later? Just sad. Say what you will about the prequels but at least there were different scenarios and plot intrigue.

- Misdirection and jokes were extremely over used. - General Hux should be called General Sucks.

- Franchise has become a tiresome bore like Marvel, Pirates of the Caribbean, + Cool that Luke can use the force to great power just by meditating from a planet far from the action to deceive Kylo BUT;

- Leia being Superman to survive open space? Really?! You hacks couldn't think of a better way to display that she is also strong with the force. Talk about jumping the shark or surviving a nuke in a refrigerator.

- Casino aliens did not look Star Wars. Similar to the Force Awakens aliens not drawing from established Star Wars alien races. Like, why Disney? More toys --- **** off.

- Benicio Del Toro's character was a complete waste and throw away.

- The resistance seems to be led by old lesbians. While all the males are either incompetent, impulsive, stupid, cowardly, or evil.

- Admiral Ackbar killed off unceremoniously. - Overly long.

+ Salt planet was cool, cute one liner about it not being snow.

- Caretaker puppets looked terrible. I can't believe I am defending the use of CGI.

- Extended long range force telepathy scenes.

- NO background plot information NOR character development WHATSOEVER.

- Holographic Maz was pointless. Might as well have been Jar-Jar Binks.

- Rey's training was extremely short and supposedly she is the greatest Jedi of all time? I call bull ****.

- Why didn't Hux just take out the Resistance at the beginning.

- Vice Admiral Holdo's purple hair.

- Poe's mutiny for no reason.

- Kamakazis from hyperspace and interrupted kamakazi, thanks Asian girl. I hope you bolster the Chinese box office. - Rian Johnson is a yes-man for Kathleen Kenedy. George Lucas giving her the reins of this was a serious lapse of judgment or perhaps a deliberate means of sabotage after the criticism he got on his prequels which all look like masterpieces compared to this new Disney hot mess of a Star Wars franchise. - So much talk about being the spake of HOPE to light the fire to burn down the Resistance and how Luke is the HOPE blah blah blah, this film literally killed any hope of a good future for Star Wars. **** it.

Conflicts get resolved too easily. We have no sense of peril. The story is allowed to meander off to a completely unrelated planet by a cheap mechanism of buying time for the doomed rebellion for no valid reason, then conflicts just resolve. What's most important: to be a member of the First Order the first criteria is to be incredibly dumb. Dumb villains eliminate any sense of danger. It is fun while you're there, but the WTF hangover the next day is enormous.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's an awful film, not because of the acting, but from the horrendously bad writing of Rian Johnson. Forced humor that drains the tension from the film is everywhere along with the obvious characters/creatures created purely for merchandising. The First Order went from being a Galaxy threatening force to just a few ships that can't catch, destroy or out maneuver Rebel ships. Huxley is now a buffoon, existing for no other reason than forced comedy. Phasma is just as underused and pointless as ever. Rey is even more of a Mary Sue than before, she's better at everything than anybody else in the galaxy, never needs training and therefore there is no danger or tension any time she's on screen. Mark Hamill plays someone called Luke, but it's definitely not Luke Skywalker from the original trilogy. Snoke, the big mysterious bad guy is literally wasted. Leia is Mary Poppins as she flies through the vacuum of space. Fin and Rose are absolutely pointless in this film, their whole side adventure is poorly written and serves no purpose. Benicio Del Toro is wasted, like everyone else. How Rian Johnson handled Luke is just a middle finger to fans.

Rian Johnson doesn't understand how the vacuum of space works. Ships (bombers) move slowly through space even though weight has no bearing on speed at sub light. Rebel ships are "faster" than First Order ships, but they only get outside of firing range and then match speed...? Leia opens a door to the destroyed bridge and the hallway with people in it does not explosively decompress. ???

The whole movie is a long, boring chase sequence in space that is the most disrespecting and poorly written dumpster fire in Hollywood history. You're not missing anything if you haven't seen it. It's trash and Rian Johnson should be banned from the franchise.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Are they serious? Didnt they learn from the 1st one that they need to push the story forward instead of making a C grade retelling the old stories? Wow, so glad I didnt pay to watch this.

1st of all, the replacement characters remain unlikable because dialog and character building is poor. Attempts at humor are not funny nor charming, and the plot development might as well be written by someone with a high school level intellect. Plot holes abound in what is sadly yet another attempt at a retelling of the same story from the 80s... how you can make more plot holes in a story remake? Well they did. and they threw in a few eye rolls as Rei continues to be a lore destroying super Jedi that has more power than all the previous Jedi combined without even trying and barely any training. The sensitive storm trooper who didnt want to kill can now kill as many of his brethren while smiling. And oh apparently the rebel are now so dumb that they dont even consider looking around for an exit when they are trapped until the magnificent leader says they should look around and after asking Lea if its ok to look around with him... lol. Luke who is supposedly a master Jedi at this stage in his like, is now the guy who either died due to being out of shape or by a 3rd rate sith dork who lost storm trooper in melee combat. But he he sure fooled him for a minute to allow a group of worthless idiots escape... I guess this was his Obiwan moment when he went up against a full powered Darth Vader and had no chance of winning... except in Lukes case it was against a kitten with the IQ of a wet towel. They basically took a dump on all three original movies (and even the prequels if you care about those) as well as all the written lore that came after not to mention common sense. Luke got killed while projecting his hologram... why? To give the rebels time to escape when all they had to do was look around for an exit and shoot themselves out. But they were too dumb to figure that out. It took sacrificing Luke (who didnt actually need to die, he could have pulled out the second they started looking for an exit) and Rei to move a few rocks to do what would have been trivial with the guns and equipment the rebels had with them. And all this happened why? Because they ran out of gas lol.

Good bye Star Wars.… Expand

This movie tries way too hard at way too many things simultaniously and fails at most of it. And the absolute crime that is done to the character of Luke Skywalker is atrocious. I can honestly say I wish this movie was never made, or at least that I had never seen it. And so ends my life long relationship with SW movies. It's really strange how sad it is as well.

It's main strenghts are having some really good performances (Adam Driver & Mark Hamill) andThis movie makes very little sense considered both as a single film and also part of an ongoing saga of films with established canon and characters. It's main strenghts are having some really good performances (Adam Driver & Mark Hamill) and a nice OST but it's very weak in every other department and only superior to Phantom Menace in acting and special effects. Some people that like the movie and cannot accept a different opinion rely on the very poor argument of fans not embracing a fresh take on the SW universe and hating change. First of all, that's false when we think of beloved works like KOTOR or the smashing success of TFA & Rogue One. But even if you disregard questionable writing like Luke's backstory with Kylo Ren, Leia's use of the force and other qualms about continuity, the story is still a mess. The pacing is off and scenes seem padded out, the humor is often weak and doesn't land and ultimately very little of what happens feels earned:
*Snoke can do a skype call video chat between Kylo & Rey and perceive every bit of the former's inner struggles yet he fails to notice his murderous intent and a freaking lightsaber moving next to him. His death is also anticlimatic and nullifies any chance of ever seeing how The First Order came to be and what his connection to the Sith was, making the whole background of the conflict very sketchy.
*The praetorian red guards that are supposed to protect Snoke and hilariously adopt fighting stances at the drop of a coin fail to realize what's going on and do their work the ONE time that very thing is required from them.
*Finn's story ultimately does nothing for the overall plot and even what it does for HIM was already established in TFA. Rose's romance with him feels contrived and underdeveloped. This is the one point that even positive and negative reviews agree upon and it's a considerable chunk of the movie.
*Poe's arc is all over the place and unnecessary. Vice Admiral Holdo is a character that is written and performed in a very ambiguous manner just for the sake of a later plot-twist. *Rey and Kylo Ren's relationship over the course of the movie makes little sense considering what she already knows about him (having witnessed Han Solo's demise) and is only possible because of contrivances with the force and a flashback that does its best in writing Luke as an ****. Some of it even feels like it came right out of a Young Adult movie adaptation but with better actors.
*Benicio del Toro's DJ is protagonist of some of the most implausible sequences and outcomes.
*Anything I could say about Phasma would require more effort than what the writers actually did with her.

As stated in the beginning of this review, the movie not only barely works as a standalone but it also knowingly decides not to further develop many threads The Force Awakens started, making the previous chapter almost skippable (one example being the main plot of Luke going into exile but leaving a map to his location...but granted, that is a flaw that TLJ carries over from TFA). I could go on but at the end of the day anyone that loved the movie will fail to acknowledge most of its flaws as a big deal and those that thought it was horrible are already speaking their minds. Overall a HUGE disappointment.… Expand

You could skip this Steampunk-Anime-Star Wars movie and miss nothing. Star Wars seems to be creeping into comicbook super hero franchise territory. I don't see all of those anymore, and if I do get tricked into one and dont like it, well then I don't go to see that film multiple times. Because thats what i enjoy, a film that makes me feel good, interested,or anything, something. I wont be seeing Last Jedi again. My least favorite Star Wars movie. The comedy worked, but was just the same joke the entire film done over-and-over. Nothing resonated very well for me, just a total disconnect. All that firepower and tech and I feel like no characters, plot, or anything at all moved forward, nor looked back well enough, no added mythos, no questions answered. A meme gif reel of a film. Saw on IMAX RPX, but the cinematography was disappointing, even if it was purposefully vintage. Adam driver was apt with a poor script. Finn is screaming to be better written, Boyega could give so much more. Leia could be added to a blog about another potential hidden sith lord in the star wars cinematic universe. So many evil Jar Jars in Last Jedi if you look at these characters decision making. I felt that the ending was like watching a tv show that I decide half way was a poor choice and I just shut if off, click, over, so what. The movie should have ended directly after Lukes reaction to being handed the lightsaber from Rey. Luke, atleast, knew wtf was going on here. Yoga-Luke phoning in his wisdom. I had high demands, but still, least favorite, which is a long list at this point, that will never stop growing. The origin of blue-milk is not the fan service I was looking for.

On the other, even if you want it to fail and teach Po a lesson (always obey your superiors even when they seem to be leading your entire movement to certain death - a sickening betrayal of the whole ‘rebel’ ethos), they should have killed off Finn. There are so many things I could criticize about this movie, but I’ll just do one more. Why exactly are we supposed to care about the Resistance? No one responded to their distress call - clearly the rest of the galaxy doesn’t thing the First Order is all that bad if they’re unwilling to fight against them. Okay, one more thing, sorry. Why did the movie end with broom kid? I don’t care about broom kid, no one cares about broom kid. Every other movie ends with main characters - a concrete summation of coming conflict or a recent victory - this one ends with an abstract appeal to a notion of hope. Broom kid probably doesn’t even care or know about the First Order, he just wants to be freed. Just another tiny instance of this film’s message of subversion. Everything about the movie seems to betray some aspect of ‘Star Wars’. This is how a culture dies.… Expand

Ruined everything good about, Luke and effectively ruined my childhood. If you want 2 hours of boredom, and nothing climatic happening go ahead. Just going to try and pretend this sequel didn't happen.

Last Jedi is somehow worse than the one that came out last year. It felt like I had paid to get punched in the brain for 2.5 hours. Fisher looked so different due to age and whatever she's paid for in her time falling apart I thought the "ILast Jedi is somehow worse than the one that came out last year. It felt like I had paid to get punched in the brain for 2.5 hours. Fisher looked so different due to age and whatever she's paid for in her time falling apart I thought the "I changed my hair" line was their way of explaining why Leia looked so different in the universe when it was a new actor (then I saw in the credits it was actually her and looked it up because I couldn't beleieve it). New Han Solo "Popo" still comes across as the dorky loser that followed the cool kid everywhere (Han Solo) and then as soon as the cool kid fell out of the picture copied all his traits because they didn't have their own personality, and copied it so poorly it wasn't just a traditional "fraction of" the cool kid, but a performance so poor it ends up going into the negatives.

Kylo Ren has some early-puberty mustache growth going in several scenes. Adam Driver can do proper facial hair so I don't know if he just forgot to shave for those takes and they were like "who cares nobody will notice", or if it's supposed to be an extension of the immaturity of his character.

Mark Hamill seemed like he was reading right off the page after waking up for almost all of his material. He's more lively in interviews about Last Jedi than he is in Last Jedi.

The movie itself is like some trash internet fanfic got picked up as an official screenplay for some reason. I went with people which is the only reason I saw it, and the only reason I didn't walk out. The guy that called me a "negative nancy" for saying it probably wouldn't be very good when he asked before it started, ended up needing to be woken up at the end because it was so bad, he fell asleep.

I feel bad for these new actors knowing their greatest acting achievement will be starring in the worst Star Wars movies (to date), and then I remember how much they were probably paid.

The best is definitely over though... walking out of TLJ, I felt the same way I did when I heard Trump won the election. At least Trump prepped me for other life disappointments... if not for that, who knows what I might've tried doing to myself when I got home from TLJ.… Expand

"Let the past die, and do stupid stuff." should be the tagline. This movie deserves a zero just for what they do with Luke, or rather the missed opportunities with one of cinema greatest heroes.

This movie deserves a zero just for what they do with Luke, or rather the missed opportunities with one of cinema greatest heroes. Watch the bland new characters participate in pointless plots while Luke and Leia are mere props for a non-existent story. The humor at first is refreshing, but soon becomes tiresome and makes everything a joke. Rian Johnson wrote a third tier fan-fiction that doesn't make any sense. Uninspired, it feels a times like a botched remix of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi without understanding what made those movies great. There is so many cringy moments, like this random kid force-grabbing a broom followed by a close up of his face watching the stars. It's long, we don't care about the characters and just keep watching for this moment we think it's going to happen that's going to make it worth it, but it just gets worse.… Expand

I sat in disbelief throughout the entire film. Sure episode 7 was predictable and bland, and Rouge One had a slow first half, but both were decent, and enjoyable. Episode 8 is awful, as a lifelong star-wars fan, it's like a punch to the gut, I'm not someone with any particular agenda here, it's just a straight up horrible movie. The casting is bad, the new characters are bad, the acting is not great, the script is utter garbage and the pacing/editing doesn't help things. I wanted to like this movie, I expected to like it, but man, was it just awful. I don't think I can consider myself a star wars fan anymore, the director is an absolute dult I was concerned after hearing him moderate a panel on Blade Runner 2049 where he acted like a nervous 12 year old, but I would have never suspected he would produce a disgrace of this caliber. Disney is truly the evil empire, they have sucked out everything that made star wars special and meaningful and replaced it with cheap, stupid, pointless comic book movie style drivel. Not only is this a bad movie, its my least favorite film I've ever seen, because it is a death blow to my favorite fictional universe of all time. I cannot fathom why the critics are giving this good reviews, its episode 5 but worse in every possible way and completely pointless. Without spoiling anything, 2 characters are completely wasted with stupid deaths that leave tons unresolved, and a new character, I will spoil this, Rose, is so awful and force in it's in full cringe territory. There is no art in this movie, star wars has been reduced to an annual toy-spewing blob of low-grade action movies. An absolute travesty that truly deserves a 0/10 rating.

Additionally I am convinced that there is a large group of mouth breathing zealots that will defend anything with the star wars label on it regardless of how much it sucks. The fact that this film is getting positive reviews makes me even more determined to distance myself from this brand and pop-culture in general, this is just bad, bad movie, from a bad director and a horrible studio.… Expand

Check. Terrible characters? Double check. The Last Jedi is the worst Star Wars movie I have ever seen and it is so bad that it makes The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones seem like good movies. Continuing the traditional from The Force Awakens of killing off beloved OG characters, The Last Jedi kills Luke Skywalker at the end in one of the worst send-offs to a beloved character I have ever seen. It was almost if Rian Johnson and his crew, never watched any of the previous movies and they had no idea what they were doing with the characters.

If you are a Star Wars fan, avoid this one, but if you are woke, this will be right up your alley.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Poor Mark Hamill, I can't imagine his feelings when he read the script. Nice job Disney, in destroying one of the most beloved movie characters of all time.
As if that wasn't enough, half the movie is meaningless filler and there are so many plot holes, it's like it was written by a 5 year old.
But seriously, Luke trying to kill his only nephew?
Leia flying in space like Superman?
A whole fleet of star destroyers chase and cannot shoot down one small ship for 3/4 of the movie?
Super powerful villain Snoke ended like that? Also, Kylo was turned by Snoke although he was studying with Luke? How and when?
BB8 - a droid - controlling walkers? Why not make it fly the Falcon next?
As for the characters who are just killed off or play no real part.. they are just there for no reason but to sell toys.… Expand

And last but not least, we don't need be to be experts to understand the politcal left-wing agenda behind this.

It was so "meh" that I will not give my money to this s**t next time.
Seems like nobody in the team watched a Star War before.
Space-jesus-leia-poppins is awful, not for the choice to make her use "the force" but because the scene is laughable.

I really think that they are killing Star Wars to keep doing only fanservice and selling action figures.

If you think at "cinema" as a form of art, entertainment or story telling, just stay away from this.… Expand
