Awkward, embarrassing comedy, plot holes, characters who don’t evolve in any direction… things as basic as pace or continuity are broken. It feels more like a super high budget amateur fanfiction, a bunch of action set pieces put together with no sense of story or even logic. TLJ manage to waste the Force Awakens and original trilogy legacy alike, leaving you emotionless and disappointed. Is not only a bad STAR WARS movie, it’s an awfully bad movie. Kind of fishy how all the critics are praising this: Disney tentacles are long indeed!

The good? Well, visually stunning at times. The acting in general is far superior to TFA. Actors do a good job with the poor material they’ve been given to work with.

Other than that, just boring.… Expand

Everything I hated about the prequels. Full of Jar-Jar-esque characters and moments. This is meant to market a line of toys and other idiotic merchandise. It's full of MacGuffins and pointless plots.

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

The Last Jedi is really much worse than any of the prequels; at least the prequels didn't break the 4th barrier (many scenes in The LAst Jedi where the actors break character and truly poke fun at the material)!! Further, The Last Jedi is utterly disrespectful of previous characterization and even uses very important themes as springboards for cheap slapstick comedy. It is simply not a good film. It is so shallow, how can the writers actually think that we are going to buy it's poorly conceived and related nihilistic philosophy? I mean honestly Kung Fu Panda has much much more internal cohesion and real philosophy/mysticism than The Last Jedi. Sad.

As the critic score suggests, it is a well-made (and well-directed) film. Most of the criticism is directed towards the movie's directions with the characters which I will not explore too much as I am trying to keep this spoiler free. First off, this is easily the best Star Wars film since Empire Strikes Back: its plot and character developments, insane special effects, and lasting emotional depth (including a few heartbreaking scenes with Leia/Carrie Fisher). It uses some nostalgic elements-- but no where near the amount in Force Awakens. It takes the story in surprising, and provocative new directions. Some of these directions are causing divisiveness at the moment. It seems many people are having trouble (*caution small spoiler) with the direction of Luke's character-- in this film he is not the all-perfect hero of the original trilogy, but I'd like to think this film made him a more dynamic and human character-- and he still has an incredible act of heroism towards the end (*end small spoiler)
Overall a phenomenal film. Do not listen to the criticism on here as the only people reviewing this movie on this site and RT are those who are passioned haters. A majority of people love the film (just look at IMDB for instance with an 8.1/10 rating from over 50,000 reviewers). Anyway I recommend you see it and decide for yourself whether you think it is a respectable movie or not. I'd love to see your voice be heard on this site and others :)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler alert... I don't think it's really that much SJW fault, that this movie's story and treatment of the original characters is so bad. As Mark Hamill said, "It's all about money". They just made the movie so they can sell toys and to appeal to fake geeks who don't care about Luke or Leia. Those people spend the most money... and to kids too, hence those annoying penguin like creatures. The authors just wanted to get rid of the "inconvenient" things, so they scrapped Snoke, Luke, Knights of Ren, etc. And the story is also really stupid. Rebels are incompetent and dim-witted, First Order is cringy and not menacing at all, so many plot-holes were made here, a huge amount of characters kept coming and going just like that, before they could do anything important, half of the movie was completely unnecessary and pointless, just because of a lack of communication and because, damn, those rebels were so stupid, that I have to write it twice. And also, the utter disrespect to 2 of the most beloved fictional characters. It's only Luke Skywalker, probably the most known movie character ever, but **** him anyway, let's make him a coward and completely change his personality. And Leia, she was acting so strange in this movie, she wasn't cool at all. It all shows that the authors of this movie didn't care about the universe, they just made some calculative decisions. The movie's script totally destroys the soul of this universe. This is why I like the expanded universe much better. At least those people cared about the characters and the lore.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi is a great addition to the Star Wars Universe its a perfect middle film for this new trilogy. To start with - Snokes Death... Rian Johnson has said that we don't have to know who he is... That would be true if it was General Hux in charge of Kylo Ren. A power hungry bureaucrat who has taken charge of the first order. Snoke, on the other hand, is an old and scarred giant figure of a deformed man. You cannot create someone like that and leave him with mystery and no backstory. We assume that Luke and Leia and every other character know who he is... But unfortunately we the audience are frustratingly left in the dark. If they had carried him on like they did with Darth Sidious (The man behind the curtain) at least we would then grow into this character and treat him with respect as the evil villain he is appearing to be and then an ultimate showdown in the 9th film.

This film has given us many surprises and an interesting direction for our characters. I found it very magical in giving us more information about the force and showing more on how it's used. It felt like a Star Wars film which is always a plus and it's pointing us to the next generation of Jedi. The next Return of the Jedi. I just felt there was a lot of "showing" but no explanation for why or how! for example... Leia flying in space!

I also felt that this film was more about Poe Dameron as he did feature a lot of screen time and some nice heartfelt moments with Leia. We also need to see more happen with Finn, I felt his journey wasn't as significant as the first film and his journey was more of a time filler than importance.

I feel that the 9th film will be a time jump forward - Kylo will bring together the knights of Ren and build up the first order into his vision. While Rey will have progressed into being a Jedi and perhaps other Jedi are starting to appear with help from Rey. I feel like a big showdown will happen between Light and Dark. Only time will tell!

Wouldn't it be great though if Snoke came back and then we knew he was Darth Plagueis the wise!! Maybe he needed to be set free from the body he was in and needed a new form? "The dark side of the force is a path to many abilities some consider unnatural"

It just all seems convenient that he was able to link Rey and Kylo together through the force to bring them together. I hope that there is a much bigger plan in play and he will come back!! It would give us the back story that is needed and solve a few questions from Last Jedi!! This would also show careful planning between episodes 7, 8 and 9.

I can't wait to watch The Last Jedi again!… Expand

I went to be entertained and, I was, very much so. There are some genuinely joyful and shocking moments that will make you gasp, laugh and even get a little misty eyed. It is even one of the more humorous entries along the lines of Guardians of the Galaxy at times.

It did help that the marketing campaign didn't reveal any real spoiler. I didn't know what to expect going in. And I was pleasantly surprised. I got something unexpected, I got some serious 'WTF?' moments, but in a good way. Rian Johnson's direction is impeccable, and his choices are bold. I hear, here and there, people screaming that he has betrayed and butchered beloved characters... I'm pretty convinced that those were the same who would be outraged that the Force Awakens would play it too safe and use the same tropes as A New Hope. You can't have it both ways, people. Either you want something new, and you have to admit that things can go in an unexpected direction, or you don't want anything to change, and then you don't get to complain about 'carbon copies'. I, for one, am glad Johnson took risks, changed the game and the stakes. And nothing in what I saw felt like a betrayal of any character or the universe.

I loved that movie. I rank it in my top three Star Wars movies, with Empire and a New Hope. And I rank it my top movie of the year.… Expand

'The Last Jedi' finds itself as perhaps the most polarizing installment of the Star Wars franchise since 'Return of the Jedi,' with die-hard fans either dwelling too much on the bad parts of the script, or obsessing too much on the good. The'The Last Jedi' finds itself as perhaps the most polarizing installment of the Star Wars franchise since 'Return of the Jedi,' with die-hard fans either dwelling too much on the bad parts of the script, or obsessing too much on the good. The fact is, the film gets more right than wrong, and even features some of the best sequences of any Star Wars film, period.

It's largely the first half of the film that suffers. There are times when the comedic relief falls flat, or perhaps shouldn't have been attempted in the first place. It's also the first time that the "Disneyfication" of the franchise feels quite apparent, with softer storylines, muted violence, and cuddlier creatures. I, for one, could readily punt one of those Porgs off a cliff into the ocean and not feel guilty doing it.

However, there's good reason why Disney has decided to hand director Rian Johnson the keys to the next Star Wars trilogy. He's managed to successfully blend the commercialization of the 'The Last Jedi' with the tradition and lore of the larger franchise. Furthermore, his action sequences are quite riveting (and two in particular are insanely good), his color palettes throughout the movie are visually stunning, and the musical score is rather delightful.

As a result, 'The Last Jedi' notably serves its purpose as the middle child in this latest trilogy, tying up all of the loose ends from 'The Force Awakens' while setting up the next film for a fresh take on the Star Wars universe.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is not a masterpiece. It's also not "destroying the franchise". The binary masses will not be swayed by this review either way, so I will not bother catering to them.

In my opinion there are a handful of breathtakingly fresh moments that scream the spectacle that Star Wars deserves. There is also a handful of goofy (I'm looking at you Leia), and unnecessary (I'm pretty sure the movie just cuts to an in-production James Bond movie half-way through) that serve little to no purpose in this story. Finn did not need to be in this story. That's basically a fact at this point. The movie was grasping trying to find something for him to do and the writers were too scared of simply not having Finn in this movie at all. That is what I feel is the weakest part of this film. It tries to appease everyone and loses focus as a result.

That being said, I think Po and Rey/Kylo's stories were great, and the high points of this movie were definitely worth the watch. Save Finn for his own movie and you got something special on your hands, but as it stands I would liken it to about Revenge of the Sith levels.… Expand

I'm not sure what the positive reviewers are thinking, especially if you compare this film with anything from the original trilogy - for example, where in the originals was there a side-plot that took up so much of the running time and ended so inconsequentially (i'm talking about Finn and Rose, in case that's not obvious, but I realise I could be talking about any one of a number of plot points)? That's just bad film-making.

In any case, that's not the real issue. The real issue for many established fans (or should be) is the shockingly disrespectful treatment of the original trilogy characters and the stories in which they participated in the original films. I doubt many people wanted to see Han, Leia and Luke portrayed as broken shadows of their former selves and their struggles and achievements rendered null and void. That's the path that The Force Awakens started this new trilogy down and The Last Jedi sets the seal on it.

These are not decisions representing a 'bold new vision'.These are decisions cynically taken for commercial reasons to make the new characters seem more impressive by comparison. It's a cheap narrative device. It didn't have to be this way. There were ways to introduce new characters that would have built up their character legends without disrespecting the pre-existing fan favourites and storylines. That would have required better writing though, so maybe Lucasfilm and Disney didn't want to make that effort. The Last Jedi is, even on its own merits or as a follow-up to The Force Awakens, not a great or even good film. It's fairly bad, full of plot holes, misplaced comedy and more plot-point retreads from previous films than it seems people care to admit. As a Star Wars film and an extension of the saga to which it owes its existence, it is an unmitigated disaster.… Expand

I mean 7 and 8 make episodes 1 and 2 seem like masterpieces. The last jedi is filled with such ridiculous plot holes and scenes were the audience was laughing for all the wrong reasons. I mean I really believe that a group of 12 year old star wars fans could have made a better script then the episode 8. For shame disney. SHAME (rings bell) SHAME (rings bell).… Expand

I guess it's a strong emotion which leads to reactive behaviour more reliablyThe applause and the audience reactions in the cinema (both times) simply do not reflect the overwhelming negativity I'm seeing online. The bitterness is saddening. I guess it's a strong emotion which leads to reactive behaviour more reliably than pleasure. So here I am simply to lend my positive opinion to the online realm and make it more reflective of the ACTUAL public opinion surrounding the film. Firstly, I'm a lifelong fan of Star Wars. I thoroughly enjoy all of the films, even those I understand to be objectively quite poor. I've spent hours lost in KotoR and the Jedi Knight games, and enjoyed reading the Thrawn books as well as some of Obi-Wan's EU saga, and I'm at peace with those stories becoming 'Legends'. I'm also at peace with the Star Wars saga going in a new direction, with the galaxy changing, and the nature of the force changing (you may call it inconsistency, but there's nothing in the SW canon that suggests that the living force is a static, unchanging entity). With that out of the way, I find 'The Last Jedi' to be beautifully written, spectacular, and wonderfully exciting adventure. I'm not going to put too much effort into a review that is going be skimmed over or left unread, and most likely attract a wave of 'unhelpful reacts' (that's modern discourse for you). But what I will say is that this movie touched me, awed me, and surprised me. It felt remarkably conscious and understanding of human nature, and the writing was brilliant in that regard. The set pieces were incredible, and there were some truly, truly grand and powerful moments that I just keep replaying over and over in my head. This movie made my imagination run wild, it made me laugh, it made sense (and almost all arguments to the contrary are trivially easy to defuse), it excited me, it developed characters in new and interesting ways, it introduced new and exciting locations, technology, characters, and creatures, it featured sombre, bittersweet, and meaningful moments, and it gave us truly iconic imagery that – whether you like it or not – will be adored and remembered by millions for years to come.

This movie is a deadset classic, and time will come to treat it as such. No amount of nitpicking will stop that. This movie succeeded in awakening the adventurous, hopeful, fun, imaginative parts of young and mature minds alike, and that was the main thing it needed to do. 'The Last Jedi' is a sheer victory.… Expand

I lie in bed at night and can't stop thinking about how terrible this movie was.
I can't accept that they have done this to Star Wars.
The must have known that they used to most incapable and incompetent creators to work on this new Star Wars series, and they just didn't care.

They didn't care.
People will buy tickets, no matter what, so why care about making a dignified sequel? Why write a good story or pay some respect to the characters? Why give Carry Fisher's Leia a good ending?

Star Wars is dead to me now.
I will not watch episode 9 until it's on Netflix.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a movie that pulled at my heart strings and had many interesting twists and new ideas for the franchise. I definitely noticed flaws in the movie while watching but looking at the bulk of these user reviews I don't understand how over the top the hate train has gotten for this new trilogy. At first when I saw the difference in the critic score and user score on Rotten Tomatoes I thought the critics were out of touch, but now I'm beginning to expect the same from a lot of the "fans." If you're not willing to accept new ideas in the Star Wars franchise then you won't enjoy this movie, but I for one thoroughly enjoyed the way they handled Luke, Kylo, and Rey.

Luke is burdened by the "Legends" that surround him. The stories from the EU deified him as the ultimate light side user just like this new Star Wars universe deified him after the events of Return of the Jedi. In a fleeting moment of weakness he is responsible for the creation of Vader 2.0 and afterwards he cuts himself off from the Force. Ultimately though he lives up to the legend of being the ultimate light side user in one of the films final scenes and creates even more legends about him as he fades away.

By the end of the film I was completely on board with Kylo being the main villain of the next film. I was never really interested in Snoke as an original character and I'm glad they killed him off. As a twist on Vader's invitation to Luke to join him and rule the galaxy, Kylo actually follows through on killing the Supreme Leader and invites Rey to rule with him. Finally I'm ready to accept Rey as a spontaneous awakening of the Force. Kylo could have been lying to her, but I think it makes perfect sense that as Luke cut himself off from the Force and the dark side grew in strength, the light side of the Force would have surged in select few like Rey. However I still think the possibility remains that Rey's parents were not junk traders as the main villain is not alwasy a reliable source of information.

Now for the flaws with the film. Most of my complaints revolve around Vice Admiral Holdo. My first gripe is that Admiral Akbar shouldn't have died off screen and he should have been the one to lightspeed jump into the First Order fleet. I would have been fine with Holdo being introduced as a Resistance leader who is set to take charge after Leia and Akbar's inevitable absence, but the way she was handled was the biggest problem in the movie. Also if Holdo had been honest with Poe while still putting him in his place, we wouldn't have had the whole Canto Bight sequence which was admittedly unnecessary and ultimately detrimental to the Resistance as well as the film. Finn and Rose wouldn't have been betrayed and their transports would have been safe. And that final scene better tie into IX somehow or I'll have to add that to the list of flaws.

In short it's a fun Star Wars film with awesome moments, but not without noticeable flaws. Not the best, but certainly better than the prequels.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "snoke was a red herring i hate the movie" The real villain is Kylo Ren why is that a problem for you? "luke who was never formally trained until he was 20 and has gone into hiding like obi wan removed from the force like obi wan isn't the super jedi on par i wanted him to be" (vader was always holding back when fighting him, easily beat him in return of the jedi when he wasn't, it was his goodness just like rey's that lets him overcome... just like obi wan was a better jedi than the great anakin despite being less powerful. "luke died i hate the movie" think of the deaths in the original series that serve to guide the young characters from the first films: obi wan and yoda. he became a true master and one with the force. this wont be the last we see of luke. "the movie was cheesy" you signed on for that, go back and watch a new hope and tell me you aren't watching with rose colored glasses to say that it's not cheesy or watch any of return of the jedi (storm trooper marimbas anyone?). "this movie forces the message of inclusion" star wars has always been about fighting oppressive militaristic fascism and if you don't like inclusion, star wars isn't for you. "nothing is explained" oh i get it now, you are an idiot. Thumbs this down all you want, butt hurt babies. i enjoy thinking of you all watching this great film with your arms crossed and angry.

It was a worthy installment to the series, one I'd love to watch again and again. It leaves the door open for J.J. (better director imo) to take it home and make an awesome finale.

The Last Jedi has more attempt at humour than previous entries, butI'm not a big fan of Star Wars. None of the previous movies are great, but none of them are bad either. All are sometimes entertaining and beautiful but flawed and uneven.

The Last Jedi has more attempt at humour than previous entries, but the humour falls flat, it feels forced and jarring, and I didn't find myself laughing or even grinning. Those furry Porgs have nothing to do with the plot, rather they are there to be cute and funny and most likely are meant to sell plush toys. Visually they *are* well done as are other creatures, but those creatures are not in the background at the edges of the scene where they should be. Visuality has always been Star Wars' strong point; beautiful vistas and grand spaceships on fire, but here the island and the salt plain are the only visually striking settings, everything else is just a muddle of places that I just can't remember anymore.

Mark Hamill is great as Luke, but the rest of the cast can't really compare to the likes of Harrison Ford, Alec Guinness, Liam Neeson or Evan McGregor.… Expand

TFA came in by just remaining extremely safe and following A New Hope, and attempted to bring in new characters that it then refused to explain anything about. With the promise of doing something new with TLJ you're still not explained who any of these characters are and told that it's a good thing that we continue to know nothing about these characters, the environment or even the story. Well it isn't. Rey continues to be no one, who is super powerful for reasons no one can understand, Finn still has no personality but he has a new friend, and Poe is supposedly a great pilot but a huge moron about everything else.

At the end of this movie...did anything change? Did the plot go anywhere? Who knows...all I know is that it took all of star wars old and new and threw it in the garbage because it couldn't be bothered to explain where any of it was going. Ep 9 is going to be a disaster.

SW always had some darkness mixed in with a little humour, but this film is all laughs and sunshine. It’s a Disney movie with he Star Wars logo on it. With TFA and Rouge One I went and saw them multiple times. But after seeing this film I have no intention of seeing it again. Luke, well wasn’t Luke at all. The stupid waste of half a movie Ray and Kylo with their FaceTime conversations just added nothing to the movie. Phasma was meant to be something, instead just killed off with no character development.
Leia and her Superman, I literally threw my popcorn up in the air and said WTF. The whole casino trip felt wrong and delivered badly. It all just failed.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a good movie. It was very enjoyable, it was funny as well as dramatic but I feel that the movie, while very beautifully shot and well acted, shoots itself in the foot with a lot of strange decisions. For example (spoilers, duh) the fact that Rose saves Finn from sacrificing himself is so unnecessary. That would have been such a truly dramatically incredible moment, the sort of immature, wisecracking Finn maturing and finding it within himself to sacrifice his life for the greater good. In whole, the entire Rose and Finn story is incredibly boring. The movie stalls in the casino city, and I didn't find myself particularly interested in their supposed romance. It felt kind of rushed and uninspiring. Had they gotten a bit of true good backstory together, like Han and Leia, that would have saved that storyline.
Luke dying I feel totally works. It adds a lot to his character and it is very interesting. The movie is very funny, the "Hugs" part made me laugh a lot, Yodas "Page turners, they were not" was one of the funniest Star Wars lines ever. The movie ranks 4th on my list of my favourite Star Wars movies. The list now looks like this:
Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
The Force Awakens
The Last Jedi
Rogue One
Return of the Jedi
Revenge of the Sith
The Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones

(The difference between my enjoyment of Revenge of the sith and return of the jedi is obviously MUCH bigger than the difference between Return and Rogue one. I will forever dislike the prequels)… Expand

InsteadThere is one word that sums up The Last Jedi. DISAPPOINTMENT. This film is a bloated mess Rian Johnson completely fails to realise that Ep8 is the middle part of a three part sequel trilogy that should continue the previous narrative. Instead all the story threads laid out by Ep7 and the original movies are completely discarded and replaced with toilet humour and not so subtle political speeches about animal welfare, child labor and the evils of the super rich.

Gone are the real world sets and practical effects of EP7 and we are returned to the lifeless CGI worlds that echo the very worst from the prequel era.

The story does nothing for the existing characters and introduces more utterly irrelevant new ones that the audience cares nothing for.

There might be an ok-ish movie buried here somewhere that a more subjective editor could've found by cutting down the running time to around 90minutes and disposing of the terrible subplots like the horrendous casino planet sequence that Rian Johnson introduces. Ultimately this movie is a huge misstep by Disney. If this movie has come through their scrutiny without reshoots then God knows how bad Rian Johnsons new trilogy will be.

At the end of the day You're going to see this movie. You're going to see the Solo movie in May 2018 and you're going to see Ep9. That doesnt mean any of these will be good movies as the whole thing is clearly now just part of the Disney money making machine.

RIP Star Wars. Mark Hamill...You were right to fundamentally disagree with everything done to your character.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi was different. As usual, the visual effects are great. Many people have debated if it was a good movie, and if it's hard, then it's not a good movie. The plot was good, not great. The problem with The Force Awakens was it left people too many questions and much confusion. Nobody was like that for the original trilogy, and everyone enjoyed it. Also, some of the major points don't make sense. For example:
-Why Did Luke Die?
-Why Did Luke Change His Mind About Training Rey?
-Will the Jedi Die?
-Why is Rey so Good with the Force?
-Is Snoke Really Dead(like Darth Maul)?
-Did Yoda Use Force Lightning?
-What was the Point of Rey's 'Cave Mirror'?
-Couldn't Finn have used R2-D2 instead of Code Breaker?
-Why wasn't Poe told the Plan to Escape?
-Since When Could Leia use Force Powers?
-Nobody Told Rey Size Didn't Matter when it's the Force.
-Why are Porgs there?
-Why Did DJ Betray Finn?
-Was This Movie Just Copying the Original Movies?… Expand

DamnedThingDec 17, 2017

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There was quite a bit to like about The Last Jedi, but there was far more that left me both feeling a bit 'meh'. It looks fantastic, both the opening and closing battle scenes are amongst the best in the series. But the rest of it just felt so-so and quite static, chiefly because most of the movie revolves around the slowest getaway since OJ - everyone on board HMS Exposition limping along and trying to do something interesting with their hair while Kylo and the First Order, with their galaxy bashing faster than light flying machines, can't seem to organise a simple road block.

Meanwhile, far far away on a rock in Kerry, Luke is in a proper snarky mood, Rey gets trippy, and Chewbacca..well...no idea, perhaps he's down the back of the Falcon reading those few books Luke hasn't been arsed to read in 30 years. Who knows.

There's some gubbins about an arms dealer: apparently, the First Order have more financial clout than the rebels which is why they have better weapons. I'm not sure I follow the logic here, did they buy the Starkiller base or outsource it? Perhaps episode IX is going to be about someone hacking Hux's email to reveal who's funding the First Order.

Hux. Like the worst Keystone Cops panto villain ever with his pasty face, rouged cheeks and minging eyebrows. Gleeson was pretty good in The Force Awakens, but here there's more ham on display than a Christmas window full of beglittered arses. Snokes is much more interesting this time around, while Kylo still has petulance issues and helmet hair. These bad guys are all utterly incompetent idiots, which makes it really hard to believe they could have so much power; I can see Kylo Ren sending out angry 'no-one-understands-me' 'fake-news' tweets at 3am while snacking down on KFC and Pepsi before he smothers himself in hairspray and poses for some Instagram selfies - the only thing he's conflicted about is which social platform has better filters and reach.

Finn is still the most interesting character in this new batch of films, but his whole input into this episode could be shelved and no one would miss it. There's a real easy going charm to the way he's played, but he's wasted on this occasion.

I'll all for tearing things down to build something new and fresh again and that's where this film wins its only real battle, by laying the groundwork for what's to come. Even though it's tied down to a just a few locations that really aren't that new or interesting there are still some great visuals, just nothing especially creative other than the salt covered planet Crait.

Rian Johnson not only wants to tear down and kick-start a completely new Star Wars, but he really doesn't seem to like anything that JJ Abrams brought to the table with The Force Awakens. It'll be interesting to see what Abrams does when directing the next episode.

The Last Jedi is too long, with a huge amount of yak, and the story is too thin and stretched too far. There's little that's spectacular about it
or particularly clever, and although it does have some good set pieces there's not enough to hit all the bullseyes I expect from this franchise.… Expand

There are some definite issues in pacing, for the movie will derail a lot in the first act. This may tie into my last complaint, but I don't like what Finn and the new character Rose are doing in this movie. Finn also doesn't have an ark or any character development, which was disappointing.

I did like The Force Awakens more, by the way. I don't by into a lot of the criticisms and nit picks that people have, because they're stupid. But The Force Awakens move along at a better place, and overall had less problems then The Last Jedi. I still loved this movie, and it is a welcome addition to the 3rd Star Wars Trilogy!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They brought Star Wars back. Only to spit on its name.

Wow. Just wow. The Last Jedi was the worst piece of garbage masquerading as a Star Wars movie. I genuinely feel bad for paying the ticket fee. This movie doesn't deserve that.

See, I hate it when my favourite things are being destroyed. It's like a phantom dagger piercing my heart.

Why exactly is TLJ such a horrendous farce of a movie? Spoilers, beware. Let's see...

1. No character development. At all. The only thing we learned is that Kylo Ren has conflicts of conscience. Everyone else remains as forgettable, boring PC main characters. Finn is still a black dude who sometimes gets excited. Rey still beat Kylo Ren with her girl powers without actual training. There's a new short, plump, socially awkward girl. Need I say more.

2. The romance between Finn and Rose felt forced. They had zero chemistry at all. The kiss-scene felt like it came out of nowhere. I get that romance is a reoccurring theme in Star Wars, but... just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should. Did they write this on their lunch breaks? Jesus Christ.

3. No tension. You know one ingredient that makes a good movie? Emotions. I may just be cold, but I felt almost ZERO emotions while watching TLJ. There wasn't a single scene that made me excited, hyped, joyous, sorrowful, or angry. The only emotion I felt... was disappointment. I didn't even chuckle once. Speaking of chuckling...

4. Misplaced comedy. Really. I'm not the kind of person to laugh out loud often, but not a single 'comedic' or 'funny' scene even made me smile.

5. What happened with Snoke? He was both a severely underused and cliche villain. It's almost like they tried to recreate the ending of Return of the Jedi when Rey entered Snoke's throne room and was briefly force-tortured by him. Then he dies. Awesome. Honestly, I didn't like him that much either way, but... You have three movies to make a compelling villain. Three movies. Of the most popular fictional saga in the entire world. And THIS is what you come up with?

6. What happened with Captain Phasma? No. I refuse. I REFUSE to believe that was her fate. She'll come back, right? That was just a ruse to make us think that she's dead. There's no **** way that you kill off one of the most underused villains of all time like that. SHE HAD LESS TOTAL SCREEN TIME IN 2 MOVIES THAN GENERAL GRIEVOUS DID IN REVENGE OF THE SITH FOR **** SAKE.

7. Random ass-pulls. Things that make you go "Oh, come oooon!". Princess Leia's 'death' is a shining, prime example of this. Curses, our fair princess was vacuumed into space! Oh wait. She can just use her space wizard powers to move herself back to safety. The movie was full of these mini-deus-ex-machinas, but it would take forever to list them all.

8. Awkward directing and mini-plot holes. So... when Finn and whatshername were captured and prepared for execution by Captain Phasma, there were stormtroopers all around them. An explosion. Everyone except our gracious main characters is dead. What happened to the troops surrounding Finn and Rose? At the end after the crash, how did Finn carry whatsherface back to rebel lines without AT-AT's obliterating them? My god. I admit I was tired, so maybe I missed some key elements. Could someone explain in detail how the main characters survived in some scenes for reasons other than their extraordinarily thick plot armour?

And since this is the 8th 'episode', I think the 8th reason why The Last Jedi is a heap of garbage is a good place to stop. There are, of course, many more things, like Kylo Ren's betrayal of Snoke, Luke's death and Admiral Holdo's hyperspace-suicide which were completely intellect dampening from a logical perspective.

One thing I liked were the Force scenes between Kylo and Rey. Them sensing each other and the camera angles being placed accordingly. Those were pretty sweet. The visual and auditory presentation of Holdo's suicide by hyperspacing through the imperial fleet was really cool. Otherwise, it made no sense lore-wise. Couldn't the rebels just have destroyed all of the Death Stars in the previous movies the same way?

Rogue One was good. Fantastic, even. The Force Awakens was bad. The Last Jedi somehow manages to be even worse. I'd rather watch the prequels three times in a row that have a go at these Disney Wars movies befouling the Star Wars name. I have no hope for Episode 9. Hire better **** writers and directors and maybe we'll see.

Hell, if Disney contacted me, I'd write a compelling, unforgettable script for Episode IX for FREE. I'm dead **** serious.… Expand

I enjoy Star Wars and I'm a big fan of all the movies beside Episode I and II as well as the video games released on all platforms.

I went to this film with some expectations after rewatching Star Wars The Force Awakens which was a movie I quite enjoyed and I thought it was fun. And I left this one wondering a bit with some sentiment of disappointment.
Overall this movie is a huge pile of mess with some good enjoyable moments scattered here and there.

Things I like:

+ It's quite different than the others taking a slightly different direction in its settings, ideas, and characters. While not all of them hit the right spot, it's enough to keep it interesting and have the viewer curious about what will happen next. + Some of the effects are pretty good, well represented, solid characters and development with some twist and turns here and there.

+ Well done space battles.

+ A few new worlds for those that are interested.

+ Luke Skywalker

+ A nice well-done saber battle around the middle of the movie

Things I dislike:

- Unsatisfying moments, the movie doesn't deliver anything that's impactful enough to leave you with a sentiment of awe, unlike the previous ones.

- Some of the interesting story elements Force Awakens hinted at are either poor answers or they weren't answered at all. A big letdown here and a waste of good story elements that are just suddenly dropped.

- One of the biggest issues I've had with this movie is that it feels like a compilation of smaller Star Wars movies linked together to make this one. The story itself doesn't flow too well and there are a lot of inconsistencies.

- The plot is also forced with an arc parallel to the interesting bit of the story following Finn and a new character that's really unnecessary and kinda pointless in the end.

- Questionable decisions

- Snoke is a letdown and we find out nothing more about him in this movie. So if you're looking out to find out more from him, there's nothing here that will add to it.

- A lot of humor that's thrown in situations that just don't work. They remove the intensity and pressure by making jokes that aren't even that funny.

- Captain Phasma is also a letdown. She probably has as much screen time as she did in Force Awakens with the same amount of lines.

- We find out little to nothing about the story overall though to it's credit we do discover Luke's backstory as well as Ren's. Conclusion:

It's a decent movie, I wouldn't say it's bad but it's a far cry from a praise. I personally loved Star Wars Rogue One and this one falls in comparison which is a shame.
Luckily some of the characters hold up the movie with their well-acted scenes, good cinematography and camera work.
Luke Skywalker is holding up this movie and without him, it would fall even lower.
Overall it's a disappointment for the most part but there's enough in this for people to enjoy.

This one is more comparable to Revenge of the Sith, for some will be lower than Revenge of the Sith and for others, it will probably be a bit higher.

Just don't expect anything outstanding and don't think that some of your questions about Snoke, Finn, Rey and other characters will be answered here.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not sure why this movie is getting so much backlash from viewers while the first movie received so much love. I certainly saw some problems and plot holes, but nothing more than were clearly visible in the original three. Thankfully, at least this movie decided to make all it's own plot holes and mistakes. It brought life to lifeless characters and gave a good death to Luke. While some are clearly upset that it did not meet their predictions, I was thrilled that it met none of mine and left me wondering often just what would happen next. IF this is only a trilogy I am very curious to see just how they will resolve this conflict between two totally rudderless force newbies in only one more film. If it goes more than that, well, I wouldn't mind it at all if they are able to keep things fresh like they did in this instalment.… Expand

It's borderline too much for kids, unlike other the other entries, so be prepared for that.

For all of those with a positive review, definitely agree. Star Wars has never been particularly heavy on plot, rather effects and character driven with wonderful world-building so not saying that's a bad thing. This was heavy on the plot though, analytically it's the first to go into personal motive that isn't just "let's destroy the empire", we're talking about characters with their own personal backstory and ideals that drive them. It was the first to even ask the question "which person is right here?"(aside from not knowing if Anakin should be a Jedi Master or not, which was forced drama)- so take that as you will, it's just another testament to the fact that the originals were never particularly deep.

It explored human themes like abandonment, loss, failure, and death without giving up the Star Wars charm that we're used to. Again, it easily had the most plot, lore, and most thorough execution of any Star Wars to date- plenty of well-placed fanservice, and overall was like Star Wars if they ever decided to add a heavier, darker plot, more lore, and wanted to increase the characterization to something that wasn't just comedy banter and cheesy smiles. Again, not saying that's a bad thing. It explored the full extent of the universe. Star Wars has always been legendary level, but this took it to the next level and is the standard for the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre to come: 10/10.… Expand

what i wanted is, a decent sci fi movie, what we get, is disney cleaning house to have a clean slate for the future of the franchise. ironically thats one of the things the empire is doing in the galaxy, go figure.

luke should have had a honorable death, but he just **** everything up and acted like 16 year old. he should have been the one to face snoke and his guards, he should have had a very heroice fight against the frist order in snokes ship and save the galaxy and also become a martyr and become a character to be looked up on pop culture, but no, he was cucked and only made terrible decisions, and he made sure that Kylo would hate him but antagonizing him and just accepting that he was the actual villain . Kylo is alone, cucked and left by his family. he was put there by disney as the new villain. he is not even a good character to become the new villain in the next movie, he is just some angry teen. theres no sith or no jedi, just him. and an untrained super powerful girl.

the force also has been destroyed, everyone is so powerful now its kinda ridiculous.

the good things: the movie had good plot points and character development. oh wait, no it didnt, the only thing that made sense was kylo ren, the rest of the characters felt kinda dumb but still better than the 7th sw.

for the sequel: less jokes, less force usage, more interesting lightsaber fights, a better plot and writer, and less petty characters. oh, and have other force users, the ones we have are not very interesting. and please develop better the character of kylo, he is still lame, and now he is alone to develop the dark side sotry… Expand

Utter garbage. Complete rejection of entire star wars universe. I'm unclear how this was even considered a marketing strategy, mythological concerns aside. What were they thinking? Why buy a franchise only to insult and mock it? Star Wars isUtter garbage. Complete rejection of entire star wars universe. I'm unclear how this was even considered a marketing strategy, mythological concerns aside. What were they thinking? Why buy a franchise only to insult and mock it? Star Wars is dead, killed by its own makers. No doubt that Disney payola accounts for the positive reviews. A giant middle finger to all of us. I won't give you another dime.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rian Johnson directed the worst Star Wars movie, for me.

I saw it again tonight. When the movie was over still I felt terrible in the theater.

- First of all, the opening. Poe Dameron vs The First Order ships was completely bad writing. As Poe Dameron destroyed the weapons one by one, we saw General Hux watching the events from the his window. And only three Tie-Fighter chases him. Maybe the others watched like a movie.

- The First Order and Resistance's hole chase is completely bad writing, again. We've seen the Star Destroyers moves fast like other ships before. There are dozens of Star Destroyers on the same screen in TLJ and none of them catch the ship.

- While chasing, they said the resistance ship had 13 hours of fuel left. And... At the same time Rey staying two days in the island. So, where is that writers mind?

- The whole Casino scene is destroyes the movie, no doubt. The big pile of the writers. The scene on horseback also horrible, this film is not some Narnia. It's Star Wars.

- Rose... This girl was the worst character of Star Wars, for me. Even the Jar Jar Binks was not so empty and unnecessary, for me.

- Finn is my second favorite in the Force Awakens. For the first time they gave Stormtrooper a meaning. In this film... Every scene Finn with Rose has is bad.

- Leia flying in space... Is the worst scene of Star Wars history. There is not even a word to say.

- Snoke. I have no problem with Snoke's death. Cause, he was cheap copy of the Emperor. They didn't even write a backstory. But, they ruined that Red Room fight. The set and cinematography of this scene was awesome. But again, that writing are bad.

- Rey's Jedi Fight training is only 1. She knows only a few fighting moves. She used the Lightsaber only twice. First of all against Kylo in the Force Awakens. Then against Luke in The Last Jedi. And after all, she can easily beat The Elite Praetorian Guard's of the Snoke. That was one of the most worst and absurd Star Wars fights.

- Daisy Ridley is absolutely fit for Rey role, no doubt. I don't care about Rey's family, does not have to be special or a chosen thing. But I do not accept such a cheap characterization. This character does not have to know everything about Force so easily. This was one of JJ.Abrams's mistakes and I thought it would be fixed in the second movie. And... They more ruined.

- And the biggest thing that mads me, what throws the film in the big hole. They absolutely ruined Luke Skywalker. I will never accept that. He didn't even have his own solo lightsaber fight scene. They've ruined his role with force projection thing. They wrote a absolutely bad scenario that never fits his characterization. Even Mark Hamill suffered while reading. And the scene where he died. Saddest thing ever for a legendary character.

All this and more is making this movie a worst Star Wars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The whole story is just cheaply written. It uses the name of "Star Wars", the old classic sci-fi movie, and totally ruins the name of the classic. Starting from the beginning: 1) Luke refuses the train Rey, saying that the Jedi are arrogant and they must go extinct since they are the reason the Empire exists (there is a balance in the world: love creates hate, good creates bad etc.). Which is a rational response for me. Moments later he sees some archive footage from the 80s movie and accepts the train her. Good decision!

2) In the training Luke says that the Force is not some kind of power for Jedi to play with peoples minds and throw rocks. Instead, the force is the energy that keeps the balance of the world and connects everything. In the end of the movie the force is used to throw rocks.

3) The movie is mainly about the chase between the Rebel fleet and the Empire. The Rebels try to reach the planet Crait which consists an old Rebel base and send a distress signal from there. When they reach the planet, their plan is to send the Cruiser as a decoy and go to the planet with small escape ships. However, when the Captain asks "what is the plan?", they don't tell him for absolutely no logical reason. Because, they didn't tell anything to the captain for no reason, the captain thinks the commander has no plan and waits to die. So, he attempts to take over the ship in the last minute. The rebels fight with each other for no logical rational sensible reason.

4) While the Rebels are escaping to the planet, the Hacker guy tells the Empire that they are escaping and the Cruiser is a decoy. There is a major plot hole here since the Hacker guy had absolutely no chance of knowing the Rebels' plan. From the Rebels he only talked with Finn and Rose. Finn and Rose came to his planet because they were not avare of the Commander's genius plan.

5) After this major plot hole the Empire starts shooting the escape ships. THIS WAS THE PART WHERE I TOTALLY LOST IT! The Commander with the empty fueled Cruiser, calmly turns to the Snoke's giant-ass ship and does the most dumbest, unrealistic, cheaply-written thing ever in the Star Wars history. She light-speeds through the enemy ship. Yeah, she literally goes through the giant enemy ship with light speed. And voila! The giant, terrifying enemy ship is destroyed. No guns, ammo, even no fuel was used. Why use such stuff like lasers or bombs when you can light-speed through your enemies.

6) Anyway, while these are happening Rey is captured by Kylo Ren and Snoke because she telephatically connected with Kylo Ren and believed that Kylo could come to the Light Side. However, later we learn that Kylo Ren similarly thought that Rey could come to the Dark Side. However, before that we learn that neither of them used Force or such power since it was Snoke who connected them via Bluetooth from the beginning. But, this information becomes unimportant since he was just cut into half by Kylo Ren. He is an evil Mastermind who caught the Last Jedi but he let Kylo Ren to kill Rey and never thought Kylo could just betray him and kill him with the light saber right next to him. So he wasn't such a bad guy after all. Who was he anyway?

The other half of the movie also has it's moments but these are the things I write for now.… Expand

Last Jedi carelessly throws away most of the promises made by Force Awakens and makes none of its own. The story is needlessly branched and unfocused and the script leaves the leading actors with very little to work with character-wise.

The tone is all over the place due to excessive attempts to shoehorn "Guardians of the Galaxy" style humor in every scene. The film is visually stunning though and a few performances are emotional and genuinely funny. Last Jedi is an apparent departure from the Star Wars that we all knew and IMO it's going to pretty yet shallow and boring places.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It feels like Disney are dead set upon destroying the Star Wars franchise people grew up with. They have turned Luke from a optimisitic young farmer who manages to escape the tyranny of the empire only wanting to make the world a better place. Into a bitter old hermit who has apparently tried to murder a young boy in his sleep. I absolutely loved Rogue One so i know its not me refusing to accept the new Star Wars movies. I just thought that TFA was lacklustre and The last Jedi truly is the nail in the coffin for this franchise, for me anyway.… Expand
