This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jeez what a let down. Killed snoke with no backstory, now only a whiny weak sith left, angry jedi acting out of pure emotion, no new interesting characters or development with the ones they had, Leia floating in space, Luke portrayed so weak the entire film. Just terrible won't be seeing anymore of these films. Huge let down they finally killed star wars for me.… Expand

Brilliant, ballsy, and fresh. TLJ is the Star Wars film the sequels need and deserve. Subverts expectations and still excels, it really is unlike any other Star Wars film we've experienced.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. so everyone is complaining about the severed ties with the old saga just like they complained the mimicking in episode VII... thank god you are not critics. The last jedi isn't a perfect movie and it's mostly disney's fault or do you really think that looper's director could ever want an out of the blue joke scene? come one everybody, Star Wars is as good as a franchise as mc donalds. Despite all of this I really enjoyed how jj abrams' effort to give us a cameo saga went south, mostly thanks to new grounds breaking like killing snoke in few seconds. it's a good star wars movie mostly beacause of the good use the director makes of sw universe itself giving us something fresh, nothing like the force awakens… Expand

I can see Disney's devilish smile while taking money from this enormously overestimated series, turned into a bland soap-opera without any philosophy and emotional connections. It's a shame that Princess Leia got such messy and lukewarm goodbye which "The Last Jedi" is. It seems that no one really cared about origins of force, just trying to get rid of all the old characters instead (while still making money mostly for having the actors from original trilogy). But the most irritating thing is that the new ground and all the new characters have nothing new to add or explain.… Expand

The movie has good visuals, outstanding OST as usual but:

the prize? We get to wait for Ep.IX where the epic battle between Fethry Duck Ren & Jedi_certificate.pdf Rey.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lets face it, a lot of high scores are due to nostalgia and the initial buzz of seeing a sequel to the much beloved original trilogy.

Just the title crawl and the music alone gave me goosebumps. I was constantly on the edge of my seat because I was so invested in this world and its characters that I grew up with, it had nothing to do with good story writing. I had the same feeling for the Force Awakens, when I first saw it I thought it was the most amazing film of all time, it was a sequel to a movie I had been waiting for more than a decade. But after the initial buzz wore off and I had time to reflect, i thought it was a pretty average movie. The excitement of seeing the OT characters, environments, and props masked the movie's weaknesses. The same goes for The Last Jedi, quite frankly it just didn't feel like an official Star Wars film, it felt like a fan fiction.

For all the die hard OT fans, imagine if a good sequel trilogy was released shortly after the OT, i just cant fathom it resembling anything like the sequel movies we got (not in terms of production, but in terms of the overall direction of the story). I understand why Mark Hamill said he "fundamentally disagreed with everything about Luke Skywalker's character" in the Last Jedi. The optimistic Jedi who wouldn't give up on Darth Vader contemplated killing his nephew who hadn't even turned to the dark side yet? In terms of the story and production, it didn't fit the setting and universe of Star Wars.

I think a lot of the high review scores are due to nostalgia, strong attachment to the characters and universe of Star Wars, and a burning need to have quality sequels to a great franchise. Take away the bias and wishful thinking and think carefully about this movie, you will realize how disappointing and average it really was.… Expand

LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD

I'm not sure what professional reviewers are doing. An 86 average? I don't think so. This is probably the blandest Star Wars movie to date, including the prequels (though the prequels have other problems). Even withLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD

I'm not sure what professional reviewers are doing. An 86 average? I don't think so. This is probably the blandest Star Wars movie to date, including the prequels (though the prequels have other problems). Even with The Force Awakens rehashing old ground, it still managed to establish the characters in interesting ways and lead us on some interesting plot lines with character progression, some decent acting and great cinematography.

But The Last Jedi had little of that. Honestly, I found it to be a bit of a mess, with poor acting and direction (which is alarming because I think Disney has said they'll be giving this director his own Star Wars trilogy!). The whole premise of the movie was kind of dumb and when I realized that's what the whole movie was going to be about, I was dumbfounded. The plot is next to MEANINGLESS. This movie goes no where! Little story progression, even less character development.

The two new main characters have little of interest in their personalities and back story, and one does something monumentally stupid that would normally make no sense, but which is shoe-horned in by a crappy writer. And I find Leia's literal force armor more ridiculous than all the plot holes in The Force Awakens. Oh man that scene was bad (you'll know it when you see it!).

I was really disappointed in the Finn/Rose/BB8 plot line. BB8 was charming in TFA, but here his antics are old and slightly ridiculous (guess that fits with the rest of the movie). Again Phasma is sadly reduced to a minuscule role. It's also laughably unfortunate that it takes them to an actual casino where all the greedy gather, considering EA's BattleFront II fiasco! Sadly, they rely heavily on nostalgia again...it's way worse than TFA. There are so many lines ripped straight from the original three movies. And while they don't rehash The Empire Strikes Back the way TFA rehashed the original, it still gives off some uncomfortably similar vibes in the closing act. Rogue One did nostalgia right without being shackled to the past films; obviously no lessons were learned.

The Porgs are an obvious marketing gimmick in an attempt to cash in on the baby Groot thing. At least they did provide most of the good comedy in the movie. Most of the other attempts at humor were cringey one-liners.

I simply didn't feel any tension in this movie, despite the peril the Resistance was in. I didn't care about it or the characters. It's like all the interesting arcs established in the first movie fell flat on their faces. Luke/Rey were disappointing. Kylo/Snoke were disappointing. Finn/Poe bromance didn't happen. Chewbacca was barely in the movie, and is sorely lacking for want of Han.

Oh man, I'm kind of crushed. I had high hopes after TFA did a reasonably good job of setting things up and Rogue One was surprisingly good. Now I just feel empty.

All in all, I'd rank the Star Wars movies as follows:

1) The Empire Strikes Back
2) Rogue One
3) A New Hope
4) Return of the Jedi
5) The Force Awakens
6) Revenge of the Sith
=====Big Gap Here=====
7) The Phantom Menace
8) Attack of the Clones
9) The Last Jedi… Expand

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

Sadly, it's not. Instead, it's a total mixed bag. Some of it works great, and some of it is really cringe worthy / just bad. You'd think with a playing time of 2:32, Rian Johnson could have fit in some character development. Yeah, not so much. Disney must be the master of the hype machine bc an 86 on metacritic is WAY to high for this movie. Seriously, give me a break - it's a 60-65 at best. Most of the action sequences are good, and Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley (Rey) and Adam Driver (Kylo Ren) give strong performances -- as does John Boyega (Finn). The rest of the cast... disappointing. I would go as far as to say that all of the new characters in this movie added ZERO to the quality (except for Benicio del Toro who has a fun but minor role). And, worst of all for this reviewer, they couldn't help themselves but add new cute, fury creatures like they did in Episode 6 that add zero to the story line (Ewoks - *groan* - it sucked then and it's just as bad now). I guess it's all about merchandising, right Disney? I would say that there really are only 3 good Star Wars movies: episodes 4, 5 and 7. I don't want to watch this one again, and that's a really bad sign for a Star Wars fan.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Have you ever wanted to watch a SJW's wet dream? Look not further! Watch... as an Asian woman smashes the glass ceiling while completing the task her male counterpart could not, pushing a giant red button on a remote keypad. Not BIG enough SJW propaganda for you? Watch... as the Asian woman's sister goes from pipe fixer to an expert in the metaphysics of hyper-space travel. But that's not all, watch said sister suddenly become an expert rider of wild animals, point out social injustice on a planet that revolves around gambling and weapon sales, and save her dopey emasculated male at the last moment from certain death because he lacks the proper genitalia to preform a heroic act.

If that isn't groundbreaking enough, how about spending sometime aboard the rebel fleet. Where Admiral Ackabar plays the male privilege card and pays the ultimate price... death. But fear not friends, there is a strong woman waiting in the wings, ready to lead and curtail alpha male Poe, whose male brain is only capable of recklessness without strong female leadership. Watch... as Poe leads the film down a pointless side story only to be emasculated from afar while watching a strong woman, who is flying a giant rebel ship completely by herself btw, teach alpha male Poe how self sacrifice and accountability really works.

After climaxing on the SJW propaganda, be sure to get your fill of corny jokes, Luke Skywalker drinking green tit juice, Luke's Marvel comic character debut with a shoulder dust off, Kylo failing miserably like every other male character in the film, and BB-8 deus machina the entire plot line that seems to have been written by a team of people who believe sexual orientation is a social construct.

I am giving it one point, because the oppressed black man actually does kill his white slave oppressor captain Phasma who happens to be female. Although this is conflicting, as it really is another SJW race card reference about Whitey keeping the black man down. Given that the character is female, I feel as though I need to give that a nod, as it could have been a straight white male.… Expand

In fact this is one of the best movies I've ever seen, The only problem I had with it was the casino planet sequence.

I feel sorry for anyone who didn't enjoy this movie but I have a hard time believing they honestly think this movie deserved a 0, 1 or 2 because they've obviously finished the movie and anything under a 3 isn't worth staying till the end for, another thought is this completely deviates from the original trilogy, you know the children's movie where a boy grows up and learns to swordfight with his pet robot and fuzzy animal friend. I can imagine in the 70s the original trilogy being considered a great kids movie but the last Jedi is a different beast entirely and will have you thinking on whole new levels as in not everything and everyone is completely good or evil. The conflict within Luke's mind is for lack of a better word realistic. I mean did some people expect this movie to be about Luke destroying armies with his mind and being some type of zen God? I mean think about what he has witnessed, maybe it would be better if the Jedi were dead? I hate it for the bad reviewers cause I wish that they saw what I did or at least enjoyed it in someway. All I can hope for is Disney listens to the less vocal majority of people who truly loved this film and I hope they stay the course… Expand

This movie was an embarrassment to the franchise, can we pretend it didn’t happen and try again? They got EVERYTHING wrong. We need a script that’s more concerned about a riveting story and less about social justice and diversity.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was great. Easily one of the best of the series. The fanboy negativity is mainly rooted in the movie not meeting their theory expectations or them putting too much weight into the importance of secondary characters. - For example, Snoke. Why does anyone give a crap about this Palpatine clone? He was one of the main issues of the original, IMO. Just a typical overpowered CGI "evil" baddie. No layers to him. We've seen this trope in essentially every Super hero movie of the past decade. I'm over it. His backstory is irrelevant. You nerds will no-doubt have the unnecessary blanks filled in with comicbooks.

- Got news for you - Kylo Ren is easily the most interesting/compelling movie villain we've had in a blockbuster since Ledger's Joker. Try thinking of one better. Closest you'll get is Loki. Adam Driver's performance is outstanding. If you look at what his side has accomplished in the past two movies - they are absolutely laying waste to the entire rebellion. His chemistry with Rey is undeniable. This series comes down to the lightside/darkside clash between these two conflicted characters. It's working.

- I love Luke. Those of you who have had expectations of Luke's post-movie career - no doubt rooted in endless hours spent reading since-uncanonized **** novels, countless extended universe comics, and several video games, did not appreciate how different this portrayal was. Step back. It makes sense with the story they are telling. His role worked to push Rey/Kylo further. It was faithful to his personality given what we know about Kylo's origin. It was a wonderful ending, and he no-doubt will return as a force ghost later on. There were incredible moments in this movie. There were aspects that were certainly rough (Laura Dern's character in particular), that I suspect had a large part to do with Carrie Fisher's death throwing production a curve-ball. The humor was on-point. The action was on-point. The emotional weight was on-point. Overall, this was a phenomenally entertaining movie.… Expand

The movie pairs up our characters to great effect, and this is the best performance by Mark Hammill yet. I found the big moments epic, the intimate moments involving, and the surprises were true doozies! (So much so, that you really limit how many reviews you read for fear of massive spoilers.) It is evident why Lucasfilm felt so confident in Rian Johnson, to give him the keys to a new trilogy. There is a real confidence in his storytelling, and the humor laces itself in at just the right moments. The best moments in the movie were not teased out in the trailers. Getting more development from Rey, Kylo, Finn, and Poe just has me thinking...More please!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like the code master plot more than a lot of people, I love Rey's origin but maybe not how it was showed. I don't mind snoke's background and general's space drifting, I like how luke and Ben's relationship was like.

I feel as individual points, I enjoyed those more than people loved this movie.

I can't get over the ridiculous space chasing and unearned resolution, which is most of this movie. The tension should not be existing. No matter how awesome the light speed suicide run looks (it is one of the greatest thing I ever see and I can't deny it was a fantasy in my head).

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie is seriously flawed and the worst episode in the series. It is too long, has a weak plot, tries to hard to introduce humor and completely trashes everything from the original series. Kathleen Kennedy needs to be replaced for green lighting this trash. Where should I begin with this...

- Luke is completely off base from the original character. It’s almost like Rian Johnson never actually saw one of the original movies. A disappointing end of the signature character from the OT
- they drop the ball on Rey’s parents, Snoke, and any cliffhanger from the first movie. They don’t seem to matter at all which is very unsatisfying - The film trashes everything from the original series in order to be new and different and bold. They problem is it replaces those aspects with nothing. The plot is thin and full of deviations that go nowhere (casinos chase on animals, random holocall to Max Kanata just to throw her in the mix for no real reason
- there are no hooks for the last movie. No Han Solo frozen in carbonite or other things that leave you waiting for more. - the movie tries to preach that “the force is for everyone not just the jedi”. Great but that’s not a movie plot! The original series was about the hero’s journey, good vs. evil, the redemption of Anakin Skywalker. This one is just some bland message of inclusiveness that anyone can be a hero. Really? Sounds like a plot developed by a commitee It seems that either Disney has influenced all the “critics” who are reviewing the film or these people are too scared to say anything bad about about the movie for fear of losing access to films from a company that controls 40% of releases now that they own 21st Century Fox. These people are like the stock market analysts who say everything is a “buy” even if the company is garbage. Rotten tomatoes is really suspect given the different between their critic ratings (93) and audience ratings (57) are so large. Not a surprise since they are owned by Fandango who sells online tickets. Bit of a conflict of interest perhaps?? I’m sure no one will investigate that though.… Expand

First of all I wonder how many of the reviewers who have been negative about this movie actually had the opportunity to see every movie in its original format in the movie theater. I was 6 in 1977 when a New Hope was released.

Now on toFirst of all I wonder how many of the reviewers who have been negative about this movie actually had the opportunity to see every movie in its original format in the movie theater. I was 6 in 1977 when a New Hope was released.

Now on to Star Wars The Last Jedi. Among the now 9 movies in the Star Wars universe I place this movie a close second behind Empire Strikes Back with Rogue One third. This movie had a bit of everything in it and was a pleasure to watch for a true Star Wars fan. If you only started enjoying the series with the Phantom Menace Trilogy or with the Force Awakens then there may be some parts that may seem repetitive or may not make that much sense. To gain a true understanding of the movies you need to watch them not in chronological order from 1-8 with Rogue One in between 3-4 but rather how they came out: 4-6, 1-3, 7, Rogue One, 8. This gives you a different understanding of the movies.

I have seen them both ways obviously. I miss the unedited versions of episodes 4-6 from 1977-1983, George Lucas did the movies a dis-service by changing them, but, it was to correct his original vision so I understand. I am not here to spoil any of The Last Jedi for anyone, just go see it in the theater, this is definitely a movie you want to see on the big screen. It will probably take a few screenings to truly appreciate all of the aspects of the movie. I have only seen it once so far and plan on seeing it many more times in the theater before it leaves. Hope this help and May the Force Be With All of You.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yikes. Heteronormative much? Star Wars 7 (aka Force Awaken) led us diehard fans to believe that there was a budding romance between protagonists Finn and Poe Damoron. We waited anxiously with baited breath in hopes that we would finally get to see a genuine male/male (interracial) relationship on the silver screen. Star Wars was going to finally break the mold by presenting viewers with a gay couple we could root for but instead Disney pulled a classic bait-and-switch. I guess they had to cave into the demands of all the homophobic people that are in charge of things right now so they could convince their backwards manchild audience to cough up fifteen dollars. Fingers crossed that Finn is just doing this for appearances and Poe is actually the object of his heart's desires, but with the way things are going lately I wouldn't be surprised if Disney/Lucasfilm decide to churn out more exclusionary trash for their overwhelmingly straight white male gamer audience. The believability of the film is strained further by this forced cishet "romance". Finn is way too hot for Rose. It would be more believable if her character was trans, but again, that wouldn't play well with Disney's "core demographics" (aka BLORMPF voters aka the real life First Order). Disney will not be receiving another dollar from me after this stab in the back. I was literally shaking when I saw the on-screen kiss. I had to explain to my four bi-curious nephews (all of whom are under 8 years old) that it would be okay and that in the end the good guys would win. But in this age of Drumpf stealing our internet, I'm not so sure...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really really really want to like this film, and I have tried, but I just can't. It is a very well polished turd, the core story of the film is just so incredibly stupid. It kind of gives me the same type of feeling that Mass Effect 3 left me with. A form of emptiness. It was the first time I left the cinema after a Star Wars film and just felt zero excitement. Initially the movie was a 7/10 for me but the more I thought about it the more all the flaws got stacked up. For me The Last Jedi is a 4/10. It gets plus points for its beautiful cinematography, great acting from the main actors and by just being Star Wars. I like the way they killed Snoke and that Kylo did it, but it happened too soon and we got ZERO **** INFO ABOUT HIM. Instead of the stupid Finn and Rose storyline they could have given us backstory to Snoke before killing him and actually have Rey trained by Luke on that **** island.

But it was so damn disappointing in so many ways, it felt like every time a key plotpoint was going to be answered and an "expected" conclusion could come, they went a whole other crazy non-logical direction just to prove a point. There were so many opportunities they could make a cool ass story out of this, but instead it gave us the most boring conclusion possible. Very sad about this film, it has literally left me emotionally scarred.

Also, that milk scene.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first Star Wars film to not only disappoint me, but leave me feeling deeply troubled for the future of the series. Everything feels shallow and calculated to generate headlines, from Laura Dern's token LGBT hero (who has zero personality, replaces Leia for a good chunk of the film for no good reason, and has obnoxiously dyed purple hair--a lesbian stereotype that has no place in a galaxy far, far away), to Snoke and Luke's premature deaths. If Rian Johnson wanted to divide fans, he succeeded, but at the cost of every woman and man who grew up hoping to see the day that the Luke Skywalker they knew and loved would return to the silver screen. Not even Rey comes out of this film unscathed; for all the flashy action scenes she and her adversary Kylo Ren get, there's no real character development. She's still very much the flawless Mary Sue that detractors of the previous film accused her of being: a natural-born Jedi who doesn't need training, doesn't even need to be taught the ways of the Force. A so-called feminist icon who isn't on track to be half the hero Luke ever was and there's only one film left to tell her story.

Bottom line: I'm not going to see the Solo movie. I may not even see Episode IX. George Lucas made the mistake of his life selling Star Wars to Disney, and I sincerely hope that they take the sheer number of bad moviegoer reviews this movie is getting to heart.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is fine. Ultimately, how it will be remembered comes down to the next film which is the biggest shame of this movie. I can see the complaints on the Disney-fication of this movie and it kinda blows, but the question this movie asks in Rey's storyline is one of the best in the series. There are a lot of questionable choices too. Rose and Finn's story should have been better and the way the Leia scene is shot makes a weird situation stupid, but I don't think it detracts from a fine story.
Few more thing; 1) Kylo is the Anakin we never got. The conflict within him is better portrayed and the relationship between him and Rey helps show this to us. 2) Snoke being snuffed out is good. This story is about how bad, how far Kylo is willing to go. Him removing Snoke complicates things and allows him to either be more nuanced or balls to the wall evil.3) Poe being trapped on the ship doing nothing was good for him, it allowed him to grow as a character. I know we don't want that from a hothead, but it could be good. It comes down to how IX chooses to let it pay off. 4) Rewatch A New Hope and forget the rest of the series. Empire completely changed what that movie meant and what the series would become. So the people complaining about The Last Jedi recontextualizing The Force Awakens have simply forgotten the nature of sequels.
Ultimately, the user score right now doesn't matter. How this movie is remembered will come down to how IX chooses to let this movie play out, which is why this movie will never be Empire or A New Hope, but also why this movie isn't worthless. Pray IX is good.… Expand

He chose to throw away much of the Force Awakens potential. That's what we've all been hyped about for 2 years. Finally seeing Luke, after all this time should have been epic. It wasn't. 2 words, nipple milk. Snoke demonstrates tons of force power but dies with no explanation of how he learned his skills, where he came from, how he turned Kylo...I've already rewritten 25% of the movie and my friends think it could have been best star wars yet. But it's not. Sadly a huge potential wasted. Hope Abrams brings us back a proper ending in the 3rd film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is pure garbage. The only way they wont keep making this garbage is if people don't spend their money on it. Spoilers below.

Three separate times woman slap men in this movie. Every single woman in this movie is in a position of power over the men, even Rey who is brand new to the Force basically shows Luke he is worthless.

This is complete and utter feminist agenda being shoved down our throats star wars style. Male leads-Luke commits Suicide. Poe is a hothead who is slapped twice by woman told he only thinks with his dick and has horrible dialogue and told everything he has done in the movie is wrong.....but hey don't worry the two old woman are such believable generals he smiles and walks it off. Finn is a coward who needs a tiny chunky chick to show him what courage is? Really? Kylo is a emotional wreck. Good bad, spaz......just not a great character.

All the basic foot soldier men are just shot and killed and worthless.

Female Characters. Rey most powerful Jedi we have yet to see and she has had.....zero training! Ruins the whole idea of the whole damn universe. Leia...Superman much. Rose, really this is a war movie. Soldier do not look like that, or are that out of shape some training Rose please.....and then really she is preaching to Finn and out doing him in everything the whole movie....

Admiral Hudo are you kidding me its war and you show up in a skin tight gown.....

This movie breaks Cannon, it has more plot holes then you can count, it forgets its audience in a bold attempt to make it seem like men are idiots and woman the real power. I was in the theater with 95% males all of who came out of the movie feeling like what was this **** I just watched. The one redeeming quality of the movie is its pretty and shot well. Other then that it is clearly trying to take a super liberal agenda and force it down our throats. I have three daughters, none of whom want to see these movies. And my one daughter asked why the woman in the movie didnt look like they could fight if they where supposed to be in a war?

The scroll should have read like this....

Chapter 8: the feminist Jedi In a galaxy far far away men no longer have any intelligence, character, or back bone...the coward Luke has run from all of his responsibilities and tried to kill his apprentices in their sleep. Meanwhile the last of the Republiucs fleets powered by old woman in stunning gowns and make up despite going to battle lead the last of their forces to annihilation.

But Dont worry, our Betty Sue....oh I mean Rey is the most powerful Jedi of all time and didn't even need training......… Expand

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

First of all the actors and performances were all incredible, but Mark Hamill steals every single shot when he is in frame. Also Daisy and Adam are incredible. They better be right? They are the lead roles after all, but well done. The movie looked incredible down to every detail in design, costumes and CGI, and you can not forget about the creature models/designs. Some of the best creatures I've seen in a movie in a while. The story I felt was really engaging and felt more complete this time. It felt more of a fantasy and oddly enough a thriller at least to me. It has all the Star Wars fighting, lasers and Stormtroopers dying, along side some really awesome 1 on 1 fights and some surprises I did not see coming sprinkled in. Overall if you are a fan of Rian's work or just love Star Wars see it in theaters, and actually give originality and creativity a chance it might actually shock you.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I left the movie empty. That was a big surprise for a Star Wars movie, and I've realized this was not a Star Wars film! The feel was Disney or Marvel. You could miss this movie in the series and that wouldn't be bad. Ohh, and it had some pretty scenes. ***Spoilers***
The opening was the same as Thor. Comedy was way over the top and almost speaking directly to the audience(can you hear me now?) Not the comedic tone you will get from the first 6 films. The plot was so full of holes it was painful. Terrible writing. Every character, decision, and plot point is written in for convenience with no thought to how or why. This could be described as a writers attempt to make a world war 2 story about a fleeing ship trying to escape a massive fleet. How do you keep them from getting killed, make them fast. How do you keep them from getting away, add new tech that the top guy doesn't even know is on his own ship. Need to spice up the plot, add a completely avoidable mutiny. Need to get on to the aggressor fleet, pointless painful side plot that doesn't fit at all. Need to save the people in little ships(that in empire strikes back were hyperspace capable), ram the enemy fleet. Need someone to sacrifice for emotional investment, use a brand new character we don't like. Dark side master dies pointlessly, light side master has to do the same. Need your main character back from the bad guy ship, umm let's just not try to explain that one. I think I saw this movie in the 60's. The characters weren't developed, and nothing gets explained. This felt like a collection of Star Wars scenes from earlier movies layered on top of a 60's plot. If you are going to make a Star Wars movie, make a Star Wars movie. Don't make a fan picture begging for money with laughs. Keep the same Star Wars style and feel, take it serious with situational humor on the side. Don't slap us in the face with it. Left the theater empty and unmoved, writing this disappointed. Give us Jar Jar back if that's what it takes to return the rest of the film to quality.… Expand

While some shots are beautiful and a few scenes even compelling, the overall movie is a contrived mess that takes an ax to the story of the previous films and providing only some tensionless action schlock in return. Many character decisions are utterly baffling or groan-worthy, and one even provides a new Worst Line in the Saga - yes, below even not liking sand.

Ultimately, the movie weighs on you like some Dark Side user is trying to choke you from a system away. It deserves recognition for its quality cinematography and a few well-executed scenes, but the overall product is not worth spending money on.

Yes, I would personally consider this movie worse than any of the prequels.… Expand

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

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

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

That was Luke's warning on the trailer and oh boy, seems like a lot of people didn't listen to that. I really enjoyed the movie and was surprised again and again. It's fun, heartwarming and overall a solid 8. I knew people would have trouble with some stuff but I didn't find them particularly bad. The plot builds upon the lore established on the novels, rises debate about the true powers of the Force and the role of the Jedi within it, offers a close up to the struggles of the members of the Resistance and resonates with a message of wonder for the future. The visuals were truly breathtaking with some of the best scenes I have seen in a Star Wars movie... it actually made my jaw drop in a couple of shots as I was taking in everything that was happening. Obviously, the music is superb. Yes, there are parts where the pacing slows down and I guess they could have been handled those better but they were not detrimental to the movie's enjoyment. It does make me wonder how are they going to handle EP9 with how things end in this movie. In any case, I can't wait to take my niece to watch it together.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The main emotion I felt after watching this movie was disappointment. To be clear, I don't usually invest my time on the internet complaining or hating on other peoples creative efforts just be cause I don't agree with their choices.

The last Jedi is an exception. I'm driven by the rave reviews by professional critics to provide a counter point, and it seems many many other fans are too. This movie isn't just bad because it doesn't fit the Star Wars "formula", it is bad because it doesn't fit the "interesting and engaging cinema" convention.

The pacing and plot are flat out bad. This is not simply a matter of this movie "Dancing to its' own beat". The flow of the story creates a jarring viewing experience and the plot doesn't movie along with any real purpose. The story itself is strange at best, terrible writing at worst. New characters are introduced with confused motivation and no sense of purpose. (Rose, Holdo, Del Toro) Others that were introduced in the previous iteration are cut down before they contribute anything solid to the story. (Phasma, Snoke). Our new heroes seem to stagnate, especially Finn and Poe.

The one exception is possibly Kylo, who is faced with some of the few moments of interesting emotional tension and is well acted by Driver. Rey, a new character I loved in TFA, is in limbo. She doesn't end up having journeyed anywhere as a character through this story. Sure she is put in some challenging situations and faces conflict, but where does it all leave her now? How has she changed or grown?

Our old heroes, Luke and Leia seem stuck in a bizarre parody of their former struggles and achievements, Mary Poppins-ing through space and milking alien sea cows. Add to this a drawn out casino sub-plot replete with alien horse race getaway and a few "wow that looked cool" moments. I'm willing to admit, given some time this might be passable for an afternoon's distraction, maybe on the level of Attack of the Clones, but it is certainly not great cinema and far from a great Star Wars movie. The adoration slathered all over this thing by the mainstream press is beyond bizarre. Sure, much loved franchises like Star Wars are prone to be divisive, but the overwhelming sentiment of disappointment is mounting and people will question how these glaring issues have gone almost completely unnoticed by the pros.… Expand

Lifelong Star Wars fan here. Another reviewer said that watching this made her long for the prequels, and I was amazed to find that I totally agree; (extremely) flawed though those films may have been, at least Lucas had a grand vision. Here there are only fleeting glimpses of the old Star Wars magic, drowned in a stupefying story whose central crisis makes little sense and which sends the interesting characters from Force Awakens off in bizarre and pointless directions or doesn't meaningfully send them in any new direction at all. Questions raised in Force Awakens are blithely cut up and laughed at in this movie. And god, don't get me started on the downright insultingly lowbrow Marvel-esque attempts at humor. The most difficult thing to see was what was done with Luke. In an interview, Mark Hamill said his first response on reading the script was that he "fundamentally disagreed with every single choice Rian Johnson made as to Luke Skywalker." On seeing this film fans of the original trilogy will sadly learn that that wasn't just Mark making fun chit chat with the interviewer.… Expand

Other than that, this was an absolute triumph!

Well They didn't. :( They made the SAME EXACT mistakes as Episode 7 with repeating things that happened in the original trilogy over and over and over again. They also went with the Marvel philosophy and had some corney Jokes (namely the very beginning of the movie) and some things that just didn't make any sense/are not possible. I'm looking at YOU Leia! My dad saw the movie and I was talking to him about it and he said he went to the restroom about 30 minutes into the movie and another patron was mumbling of how Disney has ruined Star Wars. That man walked out of the theater and didn't even finish watching it! THAT is a HUGE problem. Disney is alienating the VERY people who LOVE WITH A PASSION this IP.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's different, there are good moments, but there are bad moments. I recommend watching Vinesauce's review of the film as it gave me some insight I didn't think about. Action was great especially Luke vs Kylo, and Kylo + Rey v Snoke. I didn't really care about Snoke, but I'm really pissed off on how they handled Captain Phasma, she had so much potential to be the next Boba Fett, but she barely gets any screen time, wtf. CGI was okay but you can clearly tell that all of the creatures showed off in this movie were made clearly for merchandising, this may sound weird but we need more disgusting, ugly creatures in this movie, we need a new Jabba. The Leia space scene [kind of] makes sense but the execution of the scene was bizarre, uncomfortable and just **** stupid, probably one of the worst Star Wars scenes ever. The Finn & Rose subplot was filler, you could literally remove the subplot, hell, you could also even remove Rose from the movie and it would barely be different. The best scene of this movie for me was the light speed ramming, Holdo at first was an unlikable prick, but she redeemed herself when she went out in one of the most badass ways I've ever seen in a movie, ramming the Star Destroyer at light speed and the audio went completely silent, while this movie had one of the worst scenes in Star Wars, it also had one of the best. Yoda is also in the movie and he doesn't feel that forced, and he states to Luke that failure is the best teacher which would end up being a subtle theme throughout the whole film, everyone fails at one point in this movie. I found the movie enjoyable, and I would recommend watching it if you wanted to see something wildly different from Star Wars, this film felt like an experiment by Rian Johnson to me. I think this is better than The Force Awakens because of the amount of risks and experiments Johnson took making this film, it's a different from any other Star Wars movie I've seen, and I welcome that, especially in the current state of these types of movies.
Here's where I rank this film compared to the others from best to worst, keep in mind this is just an opinion.

Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
Rogue One
Return of the Jedi
The Last Jedi
The Force Awakens
Revenge of the Sith
The Phantom Menace

The big questions remaining from the previous installment are either brushed aside or ignored in a strange attempt to belittle fans who actually enjoyed episode VII. The future of the franchise is bleak if the last three films are any indication, as it is blatantly obvious Disney is not prepared to put in the work required to make a great film along the lines of Lucas' work and is merely concerned with cashing in on their purchased logo.… 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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you watch star wars for space-splosions and lightsaber fights, there was a lot to enjoy here. That fight scene in Snoke's chambers is the best lightsaber fight scene in any of the movies. It's raw and primal, without relying on laughable choreography to carry a scene.

But if you like your space opera's to have a real story with flow, TLJ is easily the worst in the franchise. It's pandering to a social-justicey type crowd, and it's not even good at doing it. There's an open sore of an overtone that every male in this story is either evil or grossly incompetent. Or both. And every female in this story has lead-plated plot-armor or unimpeachable character. Or both.

Holdo is supposed to be this stotic War Admiral who Poe immediately dismisses for being a female ("That's Holdo? Huh, not what I expected..."). Holdo's rebuking of Poe causes him to believe her marching them out of fuel and to certain death. Multiple times she is asked what their plans are, and multiple times her answer is a falsely stoic: "Steady Ahead".

"She's a stronk independent space womyn who don't need no flyboi."

This leads Poe to ultimately hatch a plan that dooms the few survivors of the Resistance he didn't sacrifice for a Pyrrhic victory over a Dreadnought. The remaining survivors (of the initial 400) are wittled down to a size which very comfortably fit on the Millenium Falcon. 20-40 people? So a 90-95% casualty rate. If you include the fighters/bombers from the first scene it's definitely over 90%.

While Finn and Rose are responsible too, Poe is a Commanding Officer who's ultimately to blame in virtually erasing the Resistance. Leia's smug smirk at the end because Poe has finally learned his lesson and is a NOW a good leader? Oh now he is? After killing 90% of the last bastion of hope in the galaxy, NOW Poe is ready.

Jesus yoda-muppet christ. Poe was a GOOD character in TFA. He was a spy/pilot that was cool and collected in the face of impossible odds. In TLJ? He's Maverick in Top Gun; A hot-head misogynist who shoulda just listened to his Instructor Purple-Hair. Pfft, typical man.

I walked away from this movie thinking, "No **** wonder the Resistance is in such dire straights, with these objectively retarded leaders."

Rey and Kylo are the only two who salvage this trainwreck of a movie, and Kylo is a whipping boy for the first half of it. Rey's character is the only constant good thing from start to finish in this movie. There's so much more wrong with this movie than I've listed here, but I've only scratched the surface of this abomination and it's 9 paragraphs long.

The only redeeming part of TLJ is that it's going to be a warning against letting SJW's sink their mandibles into any of your favorite IPs, because that's the core reason this movie stunk to high heaven.… Expand

Well i hated episode 7 with my whole bodey. Episode 7 was so bad, it did hurt even a year later. But episode 8 is not that bad.

Rey is still a stupid character.

But Kaylo is better this time.

The job of any great sequel is to close out and satisfactorily answer any hanging plot points from its previous entry.

The job of any midpoint of a trilogy is to close some old threads and open new ones. In both regards, The Last Jedi fails spectacularly.While the movie is a sight to behold, the plot is wooden, goes nowhere, and doesn't conclude with any momentum towards the next episode. I can honestly see the hand of the suits a play in the writer's room. A decent movie, but not what true fans of the genre have come to expect.… Expand

The first hour was bored, the next half hour I almost sleep, after that I struggled to continue with the interest. After that, when I saw most of the audience with their cellphones doing another thing I understand it how BAD was this movie.
The story is more than awful, is plain. Not attachment with characters and OMG so many innecesary moments trying to be funny. I put only a 1 because of Yoda, was the only nice moment. The rest of the movie HONESTLY I DONT RECOMMENDED.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi is a polarizing but poignant film that takes exciting new directions with established concepts that seems to me an incredibly worthy evolution of Star Wars. It shrugs off the formulaic approach taken by The Force Awakens (and to an extent, Rogue One) and takes the cast and story in a bold new direction but, unlike many may think, does not rewrite the rules of Star Wars.

Action movies tend to favor the bold, brave heroes, but this time around they are put in check by more cautious, albeit conscientious, leaders. Right off the bat, Poe leads a reckless victory that is marred by the amount of casualties and loss of ships. He, Finn, and Rose end up concocting a bold plan to infiltrate the enemy fleet to temporarily disable their tracking system for just long enough for the rebels to escape, but end up nearly getting the remaining resistance members decimated. It’s in fact Admiral Amilyn who saves the day by evacuating the resistance to a remote planet, then sacrificing her life to save them from Poe’s miscalculations by going at light speed straight into a First Order star destroyer. While Leia’s role is not prominent in this film, her wisdom as a leader is shown in brief glimpses and through Amilyn as a disciple, while our new heroes are forced to contend with the consequences of their approaches.

The chemistry between Rey and Kylo Ren is beautiful and amazingly portrayed. They struggle with being pulled in the opposite direction of where they want to be pulled, yet find a powerful connection in their mirroring struggles. There are callbacks to Vader and Luke here, but their stories go in completely different directions that are legitimately surprising but also feel entirely natural. I was not convinced that when Kylo killed Han Solo that he was completely free of his light side inclinations, but I never expected how much harder he could fall into a downward spiral. And that’s where killing Snoke was such a brilliant twist - unlike Vader’s killing of his master, which definitely brought him back to the light, Snoke’s death marks Kylo’s true descent into darkness, filled with a hatred that can (seemingly) never be cured. Rey’s hope for Kylo’s redemption is shattered along being confronted with the painful truth that her parents were nobodies that simply abandoned her, but she does not give in to his desperate attempt at turning her to his side.

This movie tears down the old masters and gives birth to a newer generation of light and dark users of the force. Kylo is not Snoke, Rey is not Luke, yet both of them have definitely picked their side. Luke’s downfall is perhaps as tragic as his father’s, and while he hasn’t turned to darkness, his light has certainly been snuffed out for a long time. His final sacrifice is so true to his character (humor included) and a beautiful redemption, as well as an exciting cliffhanger to find out what the Jedi have learned about existing as force ghosts (I highly doubt this is the last we see of Luke).

The Last Jedi is filled with a lot of surprises and revelations that I’m sure are eliciting some negative responses from people. But the way I see it, these all fit in perfectly with the established universe while not being a retreading of old ideas, and that’s exactly what I wanted out of this movie. It’s what George Lucas would have done anyway.… Expand

Unwatchable does not begin to cover it. I don't have anything to say about this joke of a film except that this time around, Disney must have not only paid the critics but bought them all their own private islands to have garnered such reviews. To true Star Wars fans: avoid at all costs, and Mr. Lucas, you have my deepest apologies and sympathy. Very expensive trash, and it worries me that Disney will now own 21st Century Fox, too. Will people even remember what a good film that has depth of story rather than pushes a weak and manipulative agenda is anymore in ten or fifteen years? This is junk, plain and simple. Disney has thus far tanked Marvel (compare the first X-Men film to the latest Spider-Man), Pixar (compare Ratatouille or Up to anything from the past five years), and Star Wars (the prequels were genius compared to this). Is Star Trek next on the chopping block? Doctor Who? Will they only be content after they have bought and destroyed every beloved property that has ever existed and twisted it into something crass in the name of their bottom line? Not only will I no longer shell out for Star Wars, but for any Disney-owned property. This is a disgrace. Full disclosure: Love the OT, liked in my own way the prequels (at least they had narrative and drama), didn't like TFA, not at all, but this is beyond the pale. Puerile, predictable, and clearly designed by committee or algorithm to generate the most possible profit from the least common denominator. If you must see it, wait for streaming, and make sure you don't pay extra for it.… Expand
