This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (Contains SPOILER) We watched The Last Jedi, as a group of 6 friends and 3 out of 6 loathed after seeing it. I am one of the loathers. One friend, who was not a SW fan liked it, found it visually entertaining without caring who Luke is or remembering any other SW movies. It was the worst Star Wars movie for 3 of us, 2 of us didn't like the most parts but enjoyed some moments. We went to see TLJ, 5 adults and one kid, our ages between 12 to 55. Our little one, 12 years was extramly heartbroken, so upset with Luke's approach to his nephew and found him creepy sneaking on Ben Solo while he is sleeping. Luke's approach was a Sith way, reminded us Palpatine telling Anakin that one apprentice killed his master in his sleep (Palpatine himself), also like Anakin in RoTS, episode III, killing younglings. Luke had anger in him but he was nothing like Anakin/Vader or Palpatine, that's why we loved him, he was all about Love & Hope. Luke sensed the light in his father Vader and challenged him to turn to the light side almost sacrificed himself while doing so. Luke would not think of ending his nephew's life because he has turned dark, especially while he is sleeping, without giving him a Jedi talk.
He has an experience turning Vader to light side, he wouldn't run away and disappear like a coward? Plus, Jedis don't give up! He faced his father when he was young, why would older and wiser Luke would give up on his nephew.
Luke's character was way off, badly written for a cheap twist. Rian Johnson turned Luke a marvel or DC character, hero turned bad, a cliche. The whole TLJ script and story was poorly written. A lot of ideas were from earth, dropping bombs like there is a gravity in space, whole casino scene, weird creatures horse race, frog face temple nuns (Why would there be Jedi Temple caretaker/nuns in space, and also wearing headscarves, LOL), Holdo says Godspeed, just like earthlings, Luke fishing and drinking green milk (ohh how creative, milk is green, radioactive, icky), Rey and Kylo's FaceTime / Skype Chat (Snoke Chat) and etc. Seeing Leia flying like Marry Poppins/Superman was weird, it didn't feel right. Poe talking about General Hux's mother was so low, in fact the whole dialogue between Poe and Hux was dumb and waste. Luke's intergalactic force projection reminded us Han Solo & Finn's dialogue in TFA, "That's not how the Force works".
The Last Jedi was complete let down, it wasn't like watching a Star Wars movie in a space, it was like watching a SW parody movie, The Spaceballs.… Expand

This movie was visually stunning and Mark Hamill and Adam Driver had awesome performances. The major problem with this movie is that it ignores basic storytelling aspects. This is supposed to be part of a trilogy which indicates that the story has some internal consistency. If this was a stand alone movie the writer/director can make their own decisions. Rian Johnson cast away every major decision that was laid out in the previous film. Some have likened it the children playing the game add to the story with a sentence until it gets to one who totally changes the story that came from those before. This movie had an inverse of the Empire Strikes Back story. Several of the characters serve no purpose. Major changes in the force made absolutely no sense when you look at previously established movies. People say there are bold choices. It is not bold to totally ignore established plot lines. So much is desperately wrong with this movie and the fact that the studio insults the intelligence of the audience makes it necessary to rate it even lower.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A violation of meaningful archetypes, the need for teachers, and the internal struggle against evil and corruption breeds a meaningless, false narrative where a suffering hero re-emerges to transcend to nothingness and a new hero needs no guidance nor explanation. That is not a celebration of gender and diversity but a crude devaluing of femininity to a fantastical, utopian idealization and white males to power-hungry, fearful mongrels. This is no better than a film which objectifies women.

Luke 1980: "I see good in you!" Luke 2017: "I must purge the evil in you!" He spends years in purgatory (a shamanic/Christ/hero idea) but when he re-emmerges he doesn't lead, challenge, teach (yoda), transcend (Obi-wan), or any of it - he just vanishes after performing the most powerful act yet seen in the universe and not even defeating his darkside counter, but just stalls for the saving of some 40 odd people. A weak symbol of white male irrelevance passing away without the transfer of a mantle. Masculinity, especially caucasian masculinity, is portrayed as wholesale bad, incompetent, or weak in the film. This is the opposite of true diversity and modern diversity interventions. The crux of the hero meaning is that women already encapsulate the fullness of the deeper meaning of religion, and that any pull evil has on her is resolved as just curiosity. She is perfect because well, she just IS. She doesn't require teaching or guidance. That's a false, utopian archetype and a betrayal of both genders.

That's what this film is - a betrayal.

The Hero archetype is only present in Finn, who is on a path to overthrow his former oppressor (this is the only story path which feels correct).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was simply not Star Wars, but the typical radical-left, political opinion piece.

We can start with the absolute ridiculousness of the mary poppins flight through space scene after being fully exposed to space for a couple of minutes. I'm no expert, but I believe your blood boils at around two minutes of exposure. Then go on to bombs dropping in space and finally end at the arcing turbolaser blasts in space. Just disregard seven prior movies and go with that.

Apparently Luke and Anakin wasted a ton of time training to become powerful Jedi. Rey just pulls it out of thin air and becomes more powerful than Luke and Kylo, despite their life-long training. The entire Finn/Rose plot was a waste of time, serving only to put the pro PETA, anti-war (in Star WARS), and anti-capitalist brainwashing of the left.

It destroyed any story arc from TFA and any previous movies. Every reason to come back and watch episode eight was a complete waste and this movie leaves no reason to come see nine. They made the First Order a joke... literally. Kylo is an emo preteen while Hux is a source of entertainment. Phasma was a complete waste and easily killed by the janitor. There is just no threat from the FO anymore. You KNOW Rey will just come melt faces, so what's the point?

BB8 can take out squads of soldiers alone and pilot an AT-ST. Poe was just a joke through the entire film. He actually would have been better served not being in the movie at all. Luke was not the Luke that was developed over a trilogy, countless books and comics, and tens of games developed as canon by LA. Why didn't he go to the salt planet? He died anyway.... it was so useless.

As useless as the juvenile attempt at humor. Star Wars traditionally had some silliness in the movies, but not a fart joke every three minutes. You just cannot take this movie seriously and can't enjoy it. It alone has destroyed my faith in Disney to stay true to the franchise. I enjoyed TFA and loved Rogue One, but after this, I see they are sacrificing everything that made Star Wars what it was to push radical politics and make a quick cash-grab. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't give this hack director (who was solely responsible for this mess of a story) his own trilogy! He quite clearly does not know how to write or direct Star Wars, and judging by this, shouldn't even write or direct a television commercial.

Avoid this movie and disregard Disney's decree to wipe most of the Star Wars canon if you even liked the franchise a little. You have eight good movies and a ton of books, comics, and games that are both cannon directly from Lucasarts and EU. Avoid this movie if you are even a casual fan of any type of entertainment and don't feel like wasting your money.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I generally refrain from posting reviews, but after repeatedly hearing claims that the only critics of this movie were "russian bots" or "fanatic fanboys", I was compelled to make an account and post my review.

Where to start?

The single greatest problem with The Last Jedi is the writing. From the messy plot, to the egregious oversights and contradictions, to the absurd, repetitive dialogue ("Godspeed" and "page-turner" is all I'll say); the script of The Last Jedi stymies the movie to such a degree that even if everything else about it were great, it still wouldn't be a good movie.

But everything else isn't great. The lead actors are wooden and uninspired (with the exception of Mr. Driver, a lone bright spot. Fisher, Serkis, and Hamill were fine too, but alas this isn't their movie), though to be fair they aren't given much to work with. There's a plethora of 'jokes', which isn't inherently problematic, until you begin to realize they're only there to keep you from falling asleep. With every change of scenery there's a new "animal" to meet, and the movie takes extra care to ensure we get a lengthy, zoomed-in shot of each one's cute, pouting face (Don't worry if you didn't see them all, numerous toy versions will be available at your nearest retailer).

Some of scenes are carbon-copies of those found in previous Star Wars iterations (Hoth "Salt Edition"), others look like they were plucked right out of an anime strip (Snoke's Big Send-Off). On the flipside, we do get to meet some new characters. There's Benicio Del Toro's DJ, a hacker/thief who is perpetually on the verge of having a seizure, Kelly Marie Tran's Rose Tico (A play to overseas audiences in Asia? Or a sneaky way to further marginalize Finn's character? We'll never know), and finally Laura Dern's dear Admiral Holdo, a stoic, purple-haired rebel commander who just barely manages to lose out on the coveted "Worst Battle Tactician of 2017 Award" to General Hux and the entirety of the First Order military command (Self-sacrifice isn't heartfelt unless you let half of your forces die needlessly beforehand. And where are the TIE fighters?)

Now, in fairness, Rian Johnson does move the franchise forward quite a bit. We learn that there's much more to the Force than previously thought:
1. You can facetime your frenemies.
2. Force-ghosts are a thing (those silly Jedi in the past only used Holograms)
3. Remote light-saber activation (makes you wonder why we keep seeing all of this 'dueling' nonsense)
4. Out of oxygen? Never fear, the force-float is here!

We learn there are Space casinos where everyone dresses...wait for it...exactly like they do on Earth casinos! And apparently fuel is now a big deal, although sending out your smaller ships to collect some isn't allowed for some reason. Animal cruelty is BAD (but the planetary-genocides commited by the First Order in The Force Awakens have become a thing of the past. After all, a week is a long time to remember such trivialities).

So yeah, that's the jist. Some people may complain about things like Luke's behavioral changes, or Snoke's unspoken backstory, or Rey's 'grounded' parents, but those things aren't important. What's important is you go into this movie without clearly formed expectations, or a clearly functioning brain for that matter. I recommend copious amounts of your favorite drug or intoxicant of choice, so you can watch the lovely special effects without wondering why the First Order ships don't use hyperspeed to overtake the fleeing rebel fleet, or why the rebel fighters are lining up to face the oncoming AT-ATs in trenches a la WWI and not hiding behind their blast-proof door.

If you don't, you may just start wishing for everyone to kamikaze each other.… Expand

I'm just a regular guy that enjoys Star Wars movies. I signed up to Metacritic today because I am amazed at 1) how terrible "The Last Jedi" was and 2) how anybody could give this movie a decent score.

There are so many many problems with this movie, and these problems are well vetted by other users, so no need to rehash. But there are legitimate reasons to hate this movie well beyond the blindly dismissive buzzwords like "toxic masculinity" and "stubborn fanboys".

I will just give one example of how terrible this movie is. There is one scene in a casino where an alien dressed like Mr. Monopoly Pennybags (monocle and tuxedo) tries putting coins in BB-8, mistaking the droid to be a slot machine. Later in the movie, BB-8 fires these coins and kills stormtroopers. Let that sink in.

I've polled 30+ friends/family/co-workers on this movie. My admittedly informal poll found that those that thought the movie to be terrible were older, male, successful, traditional values, and of higher IQ (not all mutually exclusive). Anybody that was a big fan of the original trilogy categorically loathed the movie. Those that loved the movie (I found very few) were typically children and younger adult females.

If you loved the movie, I'm very happy for you. In fact, I'm jealous. But just know the way in which you are entertained is very different than the way in which I am entertained. Disney horrifically changed the tonality and subsequent audience for these films. They clearly pivoted the brand. I think I speak for many people given the negative user scores and quickly eroding gross receipts.

To that point, sadly I will not be going to Solo or Episode IX on opening weekend as I typically do. I may not go at all. I'll wait for the reviews first. This movie was so bad that it made me stop caring about Star Wars.… Expand

The main plot is that the heroes are in a ship fleeing from the bad guys in space because they can't make the jump to hyperspace... just like Episode V. Meanwhile the Jedi hero goes to visit the old Jedi hermit to train under him but he's initially reluctant... just like Episode V. Some of the heroes seek out a gambler archetype to help them but he ends up betraying them... just like Episode V.

They have a battle on a white planet in a trench with speeders vs Imperial walkers... just like Episode V. A group of heroes sneak aboard the main enemy base in enemy uniforms to power down something keeping them from escaping... just like Episode IV. The Jedi hero is brought by the Sith apprentice to his master and the hero is about to be killed when the apprentice kills the master... just like Episode VI.

ALL of the plot is ripped right from the original trilogy except the animal rescue scene in Canto Bight... which people who liked the movie didn't even care for. And then the movie destroys the character of Luke "I can't kill my own father" Skywalker who prepares to murder his nephew in his sleep like a psychopath. Tell me, if someone told you they held an axe above the their nephew while he slept and at the last second decided not to slay him, what would you think of that person?

The main villain is a whiny little brat who has been bested by the untrained, inexperienced hero twice. How is that a credible threat? Think of your favorite villains; Voldemort or Darth Vader for example. They are good villains because they are scary. Because they seem unstoppable. It makes you want to watch more because you want to see how the hero can rise up enough to defeat them. But you don't even remotely have that in TLJ.

I could go on about the dozens (yes, literally) of plot holes, lack of interesting characters, extreme female superiority, and more that contribute to this movie being a steaming pile of dog crap, but there are more than 3,000 other metacritic reviews that go over that already.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rose is a worthless character shoe-horned in for god knows what reason and is more irritating than Jar-Jar - they killed the wrong sister at the film's onset. The casino arc is trash, if the producers really wanted it to still be in the film, they should have just made Finn and Poe go together and scrapped Rose. The grating humor is out of place in a film where the good guys are being annihilated. Jumping to hyperspace as a weapon goes against the very idea of hyperspace and if it is a viable strategy, why not have any of the support ships of the rebel fleet sacrifice itself with a droid pilot at the start of the film. For that matter, why not jump a ship into the first and second Death Star in the original films, the introduction of this tactic is completely unjustified and not well thought out. This film makes the events of episode 7 completely irrelevant and implies that no level of attack on the First Order will have any effect. Apparently, destroying star killer base did nothing but kill Han while causing no permanent damage to the first order. Why must we not see Luke performing any acts of true power, it saddens me that the chosen one who defeated Vader and the Emperor is relegated to mere astral projection as the extent if his power. Next Leia apparently has the force power to survive the vacuum of space despite no real previous indication that she could do more than sense some truths through the force. Please, this is 2017 how can the animation of her flying through space back to the ship be laughably bad. Why god, did they have to ruin Rey's back story - there were so many amazing options they could have gone with, but they chose to make her essentially and orphan (the most cliche and lazy back story imaginable). Why did we get the casino arc instead of a Rey back story? Next, how can the all-wise, all-seeing Snoke be defeated by such a crappy trick as that employed by Kylo?

The only really redeeming parts of this film are those with the force link between Rey and Kylo, the scene with the dark side cave, and the fight between Rey/Kylo and the praetorian guard.

All together, I fail to see how any critic with a "developed" cinematic pallet could say this is a good movie. This film is a disgrace to the Star Wars inheritance, and I can not imagine how a critic could think otherwise without having been bribed or strong-armed into a good review by the demonic Disney executives seeking to keep the film from tanking in the box office. The entire casino subplot is a worthless arc motivated by the typical Hollywood political sentiment that is incapable of seeing its own hypocrisy - like DiCaprio lecturing us on the environment while hosting birthday parties on mega yachts and hiring private planes. Lead by example you swinish, elitist, Hollywood hypocrits!… Expand

I am beyond shocked that this movie has gotten such good reviews; I don't think that I have ever disagreed with critics more. The positive reviews are completely wrong on almost every point of praise they make...shockingly so. I genuinely didn't believe in media control until watching this movie and reading the positive reviews. Star Wars "love" aside, this movie is just bad on every level and the absolute only logical explanation for the overwhelmingly positive reviews is that Disney bought the reviewers. Again, this movie is bad on every level...there are even some incredibly atrocious special effects in this movie (though the majority of the movie is visually impressive). As I mentioned, I created this account for the sole purpose of giving this movie the bad rating it deserves. I am not going to waste my time getting into the details of everything that is wrong.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So this movie plays with our all feelings. We all know that Carrie Fisher died last year, and so I assumed this one scene would be here end. But no... How? It is not explained and that is horrible. It feels so misplaced and awkward, it hurts. So she still lives in this movie, and on the other hand she is dead and nobody knows what will be with her in the next movie. This makes no sense at all.

Lukes appearance in this movie should have been cut out. The way he is portrayed here makes absolutely no sense to his character at all. This movie is so full of "what the... why?" that it hurts. So I hope Episode 9 starts with Rey waking up, realizing she had a really intense dream and then the story kinda progresses.

But like this? No. There was a building up - a tension in this movie where I really thought ok, she will become a sith and Kylo will become a jedi again. But no. And the end of.. Snoke? We don't even know who he is, and apparently he is dead now? or isn't he?

This movie just makes no sense. I absolutely dislike how they threated die old characters in this "trilogy"… Expand

No way I could haveWhen Episode VII came out I was under the impression they were setting things up to portray the old heroes as nothing but losers... I wish I could say I was prepared for what they had in mind for us this time around. No way I could have foreseen to which degree they would degrade the heroes of old (particularly Luke Skywalker) and the Skywalker bloodline in this movie.

When The Last Jedi ended I thought at first that I would leave the movie theather feeling sad or even angry about it, but, in the end, I didn't. I felt indifferent. I don't care about it anymore. Nor does my girlfriend, my mother and nor does my 12 years old brother.

Everything about this movie is wrong.From its duration to its bad choises.The whole casino adventure was a disaster it served nothing more than a cameo for Del Toro.Phasma's apperience was once again useless and they insisted on giving more screentime to Fin rescuing captured animals that the actual war.The Lore about the Force is destroyed as there is no reference to midi-chlorians nore the Dark Side which is portryed as a dark hole in the ground that doesnt affect Rey at all.Also Rey appers to be more powerfull than a full trained jedi without resiving any actual training from a master, her Force powers are only matched by Snoke who is the master of Kylo Ren!Snoke dies a meaningless death without any background of his life after he is betrayed by Kylo.Luke is seen trying to murder Kylo when he was his apprentince in his sleep but couldnt do it and that led Kylo to join Snoke althought in the Force Awakens we saw Kylo with the Knights of Ren destroying Luke's temple.Lea used the Force better than a Jedi and became Superwoman.This movie was a total let down… Expand

Did no one tell them that Star Wars was popular because people liked it as it was, that people liked the story, characters, and even the serious tone? Is it necessary to turn everything into a superhero movie full of bad jokes? Well, I'm sad for two reasons, first and foremost, I no longer look forward to see any future Star Wars movies, what made them special is not there anymore, and secondly, why all blockbusters have to be carbon copies nowadays? Where did imagination and originality go?? I can't believe that with all the money they have, they cannot do better. Clearly they aim for children and teenagers that will fangirl at the possible love lines. But even the children get tired at some point when you only offer cheap copy-paste.… Expand

The Force Awakens was refreshing, magical, and mysterious. Yes there were monitor issues, but it was very entertaining and I hardly noticed them. So, after two years The Last Jedi was released and I was ready to go. Little did I know that I would be walking out of the theater in such disappointment. I couldn't believe it! This film did not deliver the same experience The Force Awakens provided. It felt like it was a tree whose core was rotten. It lacked something. A lot of something. It looked and sounded like Star Wars but it didn't feel like Star Wars. It felt poorly written with no clear direction. Many of my favorite characters had been completely mischaracterized. I could care less for any of the characters. There were so many moments where I found myself being ripped away from the movie and I realized I was sitting in a movie theater. Having to listen to a political lecture really took me out of the experience. I want to forget about life hear on earth and go on a magical journey and see people do impossible and amazing things. This movie was very disappointing and unsatisfying. There were many questions from The Force Awakens that weren't even addressed. The answers we did get were very underwhelming. I have very little hope for the next installment. We'll see.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie changed Luke Skywalker from a brave Truth seeker fighting evil into one about a confused wastrel whose only wisdom is "everything's relative dude." By extension this movie transformed Star Wars from a story about spiritual warriors seeking a higher truth and defending the galaxy from Luciferian evil to a story about social Justice warriors. All meaning has been sucked out of the myth. The deep religious undertones that made this story so resonant have been replaced with nihilism, post-modernism and cultural Marxism. It is a direct assault on everything this myth stood for for forty years and if Disney thought people were too stupid to notice they were wrong.… Expand

"I was thinking today what non-Star Wars fans see when they are shown Star Wars, is just random crap about space and aliens. When a Star Wars fan watches Star Wars, they see the archetypal hero's journey in full effect--full with a deep mythological force as old as storytelling itself. When you make a Star Wars film that tries to chuck all of that out the window to 're-invent' or 'subvert' the previous saga...a Star Wars fan just sees random crap about space and aliens. And that's why critics, many of which perhaps never understood Star Wars to begin with, saw the random crap about space and aliens and thought, 'Sure this is what they like'."

I couldn't agree more. This movie left me completely cold, and I didn't think a Star Wars movie was capable of doing that. The worst part is...I don't think there is a way for it to be fixed. Disney has now opened the floodgates for this franchise to be a Transformers or Fast & Furious - just disposable trash, albeit trash that makes a billion dollars at the box office. The biggest disappointment of the year. Fans have a right to be heartbroken and angry.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lets start with the positives:

It doesn't last forever.

On to the negatives:

Lukes character is destroyed. Luke dies in squandered manner. Rey is textbook Ultra Mary Sue. Shes seems to grow more powerful the less she knows. If she continues to receive no training, she will be able to move planets with her pinky.
SJW characters abound, nothing like getting political for no reason #2017. Plot holes are like mines in a mine field here. There are soo many!! It can only be safely navigated with the proper mine sweeper (give up caring). Death stars can be defeated by light speed missiles now and everyone before this movie was an idiot for not realizing a new style of hyper weapons. The casino planet is unbearable. Free animals, ignore children. I figured it would be a 5 minute sub plot, but it was over half an hour of RICH PEOPLE EVIL. I get it! Please let me off this ride!! Leia is apparently 100x stronger than any other Jedi before. Space is no consequence to her, and oxygen is not required. Perhaps it is only females do not require any training to use the force? Kylo Ren in this movie changes his position on topics ever 10th second in the movie and is almost unwatchable. Too AngstEdgy for me. Snoke was the best villain ever. Without consent, can connect users minds and facilitate a skype call. Force lightning through holograms. Overpowers overpowered Rey like its nothing. To be betrayed by his pupil while giving a diatribe on how he could never be betrayed by his pupil. There are non relevant props that are treated with more love, backstory and screentime than Snoke (Porg/Crystal Foxes).

0/10 for this since the director (Ryan) is being rewarded and allowed to create his own trilogy.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seen it opening weekend, the more I think about it, the more I am shocked by what I saw. I understand we all need to move on with the Star Wars universe, it needs to move on from Skywalker, but why the need to destroy the old movies and their heroes. With the millions of dollars available and the "creative minds" in the industry could we not have moved on AND kept the heroes from the past ? Why destroy it all? why burn it down? why alienate half the fan base? Movie was a cool movie, but a terrible, terrible experience. One that gets worse as time goes on. A betrayal of my love of Star Wars. The plot holes aside (which their are MANY), I don't care as much about them. I am OK with Han, Luke and Leia dying off and new people coming in, its honestly OK with me... but why did they have to destroy the characters that made Star Wars they way it was. Why could Luke not have fought Kylo for real and died sparking the light of hope ? what harm would that have done anyone ? he died anyway ? What harm would it have been to have Leia killed in space ? what did she do the rest of the movie ? nothing. It would have ended her arch. Now its going to be done off screen...

What harm would it have done to explain Snoke more ? and how the First order came to be ? It would not have taken much screen time... instead we got horse racing. What harm would it have done to the story to have Akbar so kamikaze instead of a new character who hardly speaks at all ? I doubt anyone would have said after ..."why didn't they invent a new purple haired lady to do that ?... what a waste of a potential story line !" My opinions are my own and I'm the one living with them comfortably. No one else needs to care, I'm OK with that. Life goes on, but I have a hard time explaining to myself why Disney/Rian had to burn down a universe I grew up with to make a new one. They could easily have had both. Instead its divided everyone down lines and helped ruin the Majic of it all. Why ? What for ? A New Star Wars ? I'm ready for that ? but I also wanted Old Star Wars ! Its important to me... I can accept anything, I can accept death of beloved characters... I cannot accept destruction for destructions sake... slightly depressed over this. 0 out of ten is too high... Read the books (the ones about Thrawn) and that was a Star Wars experience... brought life to my ideas of what happened after RoTJ... the Last Jedi was Star Wars murder. Bold, new, and aweful.

Cool effects tho.... hyperspace death was a really cool scene in 3D. I was amazed at the time.... when I got home tho, ... I was like... why didn't the ships that ran out of gas just to that in the first place... the hospital ship captain even stayed with his ship as it was being destroyed ?.. he could have done it. How did the other ships around the Mega ship blow up as well Km's away? but everyone in the Mega ship yards away seemed to live ? How did Phasma end up at the other end of the hanger with more troopers, when Finn and rose were still where they were ? Did she get blown to the other end and just happened to land in front of a horde of troopers who remained on their feet ? So much to think about later on that once the movie ended I started to question things.

People say read the books.. they help explain things. But any movie that requires you to read books to get a movies message, is a BAD movie.... AND any book that requires you to watch a movie is a BAD book. You cannot argue that... even if you want to argue it for arguments sake, you know in your heart your wrong.… Expand

Up to that point I was mildly entertained - lots of eye-candy -I knew something was wrong when I reached for my watch and thought "this is taking too long". Never before I felt this way while watching an entry of my favorite movie saga ever. Up to that point I was mildly entertained - lots of eye-candy - but the over-the-top humor and a growing length that for some reason wasn't paying off were already red flags. When the credits rolled I was confused out of my mind.

Since then I don't go a day without thinking how bad the whole experience was, and I just had to come over and join the almost three-thousand voters' consensus.

One could point three main reasons why The Last Jedi is atrocious: 1) It's technically an awful movie: bad writing, bad pacing, bad acting, bad dialogue, bad decisions, gaping plot holes, no character development, no real journey, no accomplishments, disjointed plot; 2) It actually strives to spend the maximum screentime as possible delivering political undertones that have nothing to do with it's universe at all; and 3) shamelessly disrespects and disregards the saga's lore, world-building and legendary characters.

I never thought it would come to this, since The Force Awakens was a serviceable nostalgia ride and Disney usually manages to keep the quality standards in their projects. But it's not just about nostalgia, as most of the critics are bashing the disheartened fans. The changes they defend about The Last Jedi are not thoughtful steps forwards that build on the saga's foundation. They're market-calculated decisions designed to appeal a smartphone-dumbed and twitter-minded younger audience, coupled with really shallow and trendy moviemaking. And to that merit, Episode VIII accomplishes it infamously.

Also, that is where The Last Jedi does feel like closure, at least to me. I'm disgusted enough to have paid a cinema ticket to watch it, and I'll not indulge this Coca-Cola-ish brand anymore. I'm not part of the target audience that enjoyed this catastrophe and is willing to pay for more. I've lost interest in many other beloved franchises before, but never felt so conned and so betrayed like this. As time passes though, comes indifference, and I just can't be bothered. Like many others have expressed, I've no more room for Star Wars in my entertainment, be it past or upcoming features. An X-Wing replica still sits on my desk, but it feels strangely distant now. The Last Jedi is a bitter full circle, and I'm done with Star Wars.… Expand

The acting is sub-par and the script even managed to disappoint Mark Hamil himself. Characters make illogical decisions and Rey is once again overpowered and soulless. The movie attempts to be politically correct by displaying more than a few inclusive storylines. Yes, this is good and inclusivity is positive. However, how lazily these stories were presented shoes that they were included purely for the money and not out of genuine care.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Worst best seller of the history, Leia flying, stupid jokes like the "iron", those ridiculous birds, in that case better watch Spaceballs. Luke denigrated to the worst garbage of human being and with powers ridiculous for a Jedi, he died stupidly, please remake this film, this film should never had existed.I don't say that it is a bad movie because Luke died, in Episode VII Han Solo died and killed the possibility to ever play together with Luke again, but anyway I liked the movie as it was a decent plot, if you are going to kill a super idol do it for a good reason, like it was done in Episode 7, not kill him because he got tired after use too much Jedi Power and leave episode 9 with nobody, even with a good plot you should be very careful if kill the Luke, now everybody is dead as Carrie Fisher died in the real world, whats the point of Episode 9? Who will be the stars, Chewbacca and androids? Unless they bring Lando to episode 9 for sure only teenagers will go to cinema to watch it. I left my family in Christmas to go to watch this abomination, for a Star Wars movie, anyone would understand, but leave Christmas for this garbage? Most of fans say "pretend that this movie never existed" but it is difficult, specially that there will be an episode 9. Rian Johnson, you killed Star Wars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created this account especially to write a review here and share my sad experience with The Last Jedi movie. I'm a teen. Yes, I'm new generation and I had never see a Star Wars movie before. My parents and two older brothers, and also uncles, aunts and cousins, most of them just love Star Wars. So I always wanted to watch these movies and figure out for myself what is so special about them. But it didn't happen until my friend called me and say: "let's see the new Star Wars on the movie theater". And I say: "Yeah". I was so hesited to finally watch a Star Wars! I was going finally to understand why so many people in the whole world take this saga almost as a religion, a lifestyle or so, why it's so important to them, even influencing their own lives. Then we went to the movies and most of time I was thinking: "So this is it? That's the great Star Wars?" When I looked at my friend she was just more interested in eating her popcorn than understanding the movie! When I left the theater I said to her: "What a pointless buch of scrap!" I came home and said: "Sorry dad, sorry mum but Star Wars sucks!". They knew I was going to the movies but they didn't know wich movie I was going to see and so I saw the shock on their faces and they asked me if I was talking about The Last Jedi and I said "yes" and they looked at me with sad eyes and then my dad said: "honey, this is not Star Wars. This crap you saw is only a Disney attempt to destroy our dreams in order to make more money, because they believe that every boy and girl of your generation is stupid to be fooled by this fake Disney Wars". He was so serious that I have all of his words on my head until now and it happened three days ago. My uncle has the entire collection of six original movies of Star Wars in Blu Ray. He lent them to me, so I could see the true Star Wars. So, I picked up the first one The Phantom Manace and watched it. I just loved it! It has an intriguing story and attractive characters like Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Queen Amidala (I adore her!), a misterious villain and another that I found really scary, Darth Maul. He looked like the devil himself! And that little cute boy. OMG! I fell in love with him and I got very interested in what's the big question about him. Who was he? Why was he so special and talented? He've got some powers and I understood that the story of Star Wars was basically about him. The second movie, Attack of the Clones, I loved it even more,and the whole story is far more than just entertaining. The little boy grew into a rebel teenager and he is in love with the senator Amidala and then he loses his mother. At the same time there are many other interesting things going on in the movie, with Obi Wan investigating the bount hunter and... Jedi council, the battles... Everything about the movie is so enjoyeble, and the third one, Revenge of the sith, a sad and touching movie, I cried watching many of its scenes. Good acting, wonderful story, that matches perfectly witn the fourth one, A New Hope that comes and also explains everything. This movie actually brings a new hope as we Ani's twins grew up and fight against the Empire and the real devil of the saga, Darth Sidious. Then it comes the fifth The Empire Strikes back and more emotions come with it. We see Yoda again and the "No, I am your Father" scene. I cried again and I wished from the botton of my heart that Luke could bring his father to the good side again. And that's what he does in the sixth and last (yes, last) movie of the saga Return of the jedi! It's complete and perfect. I also liked Jar Jar and the Ewoks (my parents are not exactly their fans). And I was really wanting to see all the six movies again! That didn't happen with the garbage I saw in the movie theater! So, the young guy who firmly believed his father could be saved and turned to the good side again is the same old master that considered to kill his nephew? Ok. His father was already in the dark side for more than 20 years, and even so he didn't want to kill him! But the boy was not even in the dark side yet and he was going to assassinate him and cowardly, when he was sleeping???? No! This is not the same character, this is not the same saga. I understand why my parents, uncles, cousins and many friends are so sad. Disney is really ruining a wonderful franchise. But for me only the six wonderful movies count and I'll be always happilly watching them on and on and on. The rest, as my dad said, is Disney Wars, not Star Wars at all. Disney almost made me think that Star Wars was nothing but garbage. And I'm happy to figure out that it's not because the eps 1-6 together make the most emotional and well written story that I've ever see or read in my entire (and still short) life. Period.… Expand

RookieOneJan 8, 2018

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie finishes what TFA started.
TFA heavily wounded the StarWars universe by undoing everything that was achieved in the original trilogy.
TLJ finishes it off by gutting it, making it hemorrhage sense and continuity.
To top it off there is nothing meaningful happens in the movie at all, we could have jumped straight to episode IX. "Rebels" are still fleeing from an inexplicably powerful first order, its just a couple less now.

To sum up my impression of the movie: Propably better than the christmas special. Propably.

For those with the patience to read more, this is a list of the points that make the movie such a disaster, in no particular order.

1. The timing.
Episode VII ends with Kylo Ren heavily wounded by a bowcaster and a light sabre. Snoke ordered to have him brought to him to finish his training. Also the ultimate weapon of the first order has been destroyed.
Propably about half a day later he is fully healed and shows up with a complete fleet, including a not-quite-ultimate battleship at the resistance HQ. Or maybe the resistance was stupid enough to not immediately initiate their GTFO protocols. I'm not sure which would be worse.
Well either way, at this point in time the first order has taken control of the galaxy. Yes, the whole galaxy that was pretty free under the protection of the republican fleet a day ago. There are 200 billion suns in our own galaxy, and the first order took control over that amount of systems instantly. Palpatine did that by using an existing power structure that had grown over millenia, and the first order does it by conquest in a snap. There is no way to properly descripe how incredibly stupid this is. If the first order is that powerful, how did the republic ever stop them? How do you fight somebody who, after losing that bs Starkiller base still has the means to do THAT??
2. Apparently you can use your hyperdrive to cut right through a vastly larger object with your ship. This of course means that any superweapon could have been easily destroyed by a rusty freighter flown by remote. This alone makes the first order and its fleet of unneccessarily costlly and huge ships a non-issue for anyone with a brain. Sadly nobody in the entire movie has one, or they would have done that with one of the two ships they were abandoning anyway. After all, how would the First Order prevent it? Destroy it? Apparently they can't at that distance. Evade? With a ship broader than the Executor was long??
3. Luke Skywalker. This is NOT Mark Hamills fault in any way. He was turned from the incarnation of Hope, someone who thought redeeming Darth Vader was worth a shot, into a nihilistic grouch hiding on an island somewhere in the galaxy. Seriously, its only the empire returning in a more Nazi fashion and his sister fighting for freedom and her life. Who cares, right? It doesn't matter anyway. Also for some reason he thought about killing a teenager in his sleep for having dark thoughts - which is, of course, absolutely irredeemable. Apparently dropping an unstable stone hut on him is so much power he has to hide 'till his death. Oh and he was finished off so his iconic figure doesn't stand in the way of whatever they come up with for IX. Apparently death by meditating is a thing now.
4. Physics. No, really.
The movie opens up with a battleship being attacked by bombers of the resistance. Which would be no problem - except for the bombers having WWII style bomb bays. What is supposed to drag them out of there and toward the target? There is NO gravity in space. (Not completely true, since that was in orbit, but the effective force of the gravity is zero, or everything would crash on the planet). Even worse, each bomber had about 500 of those bombs. The hell is that supposed to do? The first dozen bombs will explode and either push those coming after them away or outright making them explode outside the target doing nothing at all. And the bombers were HUGE targets. Get a squadron of B-Wings instead. Those are bombers that make sense. Well, anyway, the one bomber that made it blew up that multiple km ship. Apparently hitting it anywhere will cause a chainreaction blowing it up or something.
Snokes flagship also doesn't seem to know there is no gravity in space, because its oversized turbolaser shots arc like artillery shells would on a planet.
5. Hyperspace tracking.
Well, this is not so stupid from a technical point, but massively retarded from a story perspective. Because you see there is a... story arc about only the flagship doing the tracking. But the flagship wasn't there when the rebels fled. So it isn't necessary to track at the starting point. So... hit&run, with X-Wings or otherwise, doesn't work anymore. Any ship approaching a secret rebel base would instantly betray its location. There are only two possibilities for any further movie.

I'm only stopping now is because I'm running out of characters. Thats how bad VIII is.… Expand

Virtually nothing in the film felt like it could be taken seriously. If you wanted a Star Wars film where every character plays an alter ego of Jar Jar Binks, this is the film for you.

The plot and plot holes are terrible also, the First Order continues to get its ass kicked in every encounter, yet we are told to believe that hope is near lost because of 'reasons'. With no sense of plot, the entire story lacks any weight, and in the end, events that were supposed to be critical to the film ultimately felt very cheap.… Expand

I had no such goosebumpI have been a fan of Star Wars for as long as I can remember. Every Star Wars film, including the prequels, has had moments that gave me goosebumps, the feeling I would always use to measure how a film made me feel. I had no such goosebump moment in The Last Jedi. The best word I can use to describe my experience is contempt. From very near the start of the movie, I felt an ever deepening pit forming in the bottom of my stomach. So much life is wasted in this film, heroic moments are ruined by modern sounding one liners or gestures. Luke might as well have dabbed in that scene near the end when the director wanted him to look like a badass. Why has the technology of Star Wars degraded so much and become so inconsistent? Sure, the sound and visuals were great, and the music was awesome as always thanks to John Williams, but most movies look and sound great today so that is no longer the mark of a good film. This film has no heart, no soul, or care for what came before.… Expand

This film was so terrible, it drove me to an immediate second viewing in disbelief, then tears and finally Rotten Tomatoes to comment.

A must watch if you appreciate endless plot holes, ill timed slapstick humor, tonally disjointed scenes, Jedi skype calls, laughable villains, pointless side quests, uninspiring new characters, force ghost lightning (wtf), low gas tanks, absent autopilot and droids, light speed crashes, lazy subversion in place of quality consistent story telling ...and pairing the truly abysmal assassination of Jake Skywalker (see Hamill's interview) against the all powerful, yet unrelatable Mary Sue (see internet)... and of course, porgs. Keck. I would like to include a special thank you to both directors - and perhaps Disney - for allowing our once beloved hero, NOW warped cynical deranged defeatist coward, to greet Rey in TFA in FULL "Sunday Best" JEDI ROBES – before pitching his Father’s light saber over a cliff in pure slapstick fashion, choke on milk from a quadriplegic sea sloth and repeatedly retreat to his hut in fear in TLJ. Way to work together guys...

The characters are flat, weak, one-dimensional, and out-of-character. The structure is massively flawed and the plot is riddled with holes.
I’ve seen every Star Wars movie in theater at least four times on top of countless viewings at home. I will never watch The Last Jedi again. It is hands down the worst in the franchise. I’m going to watch Attack of the Clones to cleanse my pallet…
The filmmakers main goal across the board was to destroy and manipulate our expectations by breaking rules set in the Star Wars universe and by debunking every possible fan theory based on questions set up in The Force Awakens. If you want to play with audiences expectations do it in a standalone genre movie by playing with its genre conventions, not in an established canon. They pulled this “Tricked you / surprise card” so many times it was repulsive. Maybe try using two or three of your brilliant mind blowing disrespectful spins on fan expectations.
I’ve never had such polarizing different opinions with critics as I do with this movie. I spent countless hours reading fan reviews and watching youtube reviews (positive and negative) and the problems that everyone has are consistent across the board. I’m having a hard time understanding why this would be the best critically reviewed Star Wars movie when I feel this is the worst produced… The filmmakers were more concerned with burning the past to build the future that they want. They don't care what the characters or story deserve and are trying to kill the Star Wars mythology.
The original trilogy’s themes were hope, faith, loyalty, family and redemption. The Last Jedi dismantles that and it’s theme is “Let the past die, kill it if you have to.” and to disrespect everything that made Star Wars a universally beloved saga. Star Wars was about the eternal fight of light versus dark and finding the balance between the two. The Last Jedi is grey, bleak, and full of politically correct social propaganda being shoved down your throat in every other scene. Honestly this movie is subversive, divisive, and extremely hypocritical. Entertainment should be entertainment, don’t politicize our escape that actually bonds everyone no matter their age, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, or religion.
This movie intentionally tries to retroactively destroy everything we loved about the Star Wars movies that came before it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLJ is a terrible movie with more plot holes than the Empire has Tie Fighters. I wouldn't really care, except the way Rian Johnson made Luke Skywalker into the Larry David of Jedi Masters was ridiculous. No way Luke ended up a grumpy old man just waiting around by himself doing nothing. No way he disrespects the Skywalker light saber by throwing it over his shoulder. No way he gets his ass kicked by Mary Sue Rey who is perfect in every way, but has no training whatsoever. Think about how lame The Empire Strikes Back would have been if Luke already was the greatest warrior in the galaxy from the beginning and could kick Obi Wan's and Darth Vader's ass without having to go through the trials and events that eventually made him stronger, made him a Jedi. I will never watch another Star Wars movie after this CF.… Expand

I live in Singapore. Asians usually like scifi. This is an 'meh' scifi movie considering the budget TLJ had but TLJ is definitely a TERRIBLE star wars movie.

Preface: I'm an 80s baby, star wars is sacred. (even in asia.) Shutting myself from the hype train, I waited for the very last day of the cinema showing, so I can walk in to a near empty theater to enjoy the odyssey, the epic that star wars deservedly is.

Again, Preface: I'm an 80s baby. Grew up with the original SW trilogy throughout the 90s, rushed to watch Prequels in the 2000s. Played the video games, read the books and comics, watch the cartoons and animated series, and yes bought toys and merch.

So... about 2hr 30 min after, watching TLJ, I left the theater confused, (I understand why people had to watch TLJ 2 or 3 more times. And not in a good way). I slept it over. Woke up the next day. Thought about TLJ. Became more and more angry as I thought about TLJ. Slept again. Today, 2 days after watching TLJ = MORE ANGRY as I think about TLJ.

Critique of TLJ = Really weak story, plot holes after plot holes after plot holes, weak characters with little development (Sadness here - Rey, Fin, Poe deserved to shine in this episode...WASTED!), characters introduced who are inconsequential, storylines that go nowhere, forced SJW-3rd wave feminist messaging almost every other scene. (There has ALWAYS been strong men AND women in the sw universe but now only women are strong, smart, courageous, wise....okay....), forced out of place/oddly timed humour (Oh my god the phone joke!), brisk pacing for a 2hrs++ movie which remarkably lacks substance or depth ending up with heroes I am uninterested cheering for, villains that are not threatening. Then, how TLJ handled an iconic character which has been celebrated for pass a good 40 years....disrespectful. Excellent visuals and music though, which seems to be what matters these days.

Ultimately you start to have the feeling that the director/writer of TLJ is giving you, star wars fans and the star wars mythos the middle finger all throughout the movie. Self indulgent, self satisfied, talentless hack. Who the f**k gave the greenlight for Rian Johnson to touch the star wars ip? People need to get fired for this. Thank god Rian Johnson was nowhere near Blade Runner 2049. As a fan of star wars for almost 30 years, literally almost all of my life (as of this writing), I'm done with star wars. I'm NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN EPISODE 9. WHO CARES? As an asian observer, if americans dont even care about their own cultural treasures then why should I? Star Wars is dead.… Expand

Ruined the Skywalker saga and threw away not only everything that episode vii set up but everything that made star wars special.

Committed character assassination, redefined the force and had mostly useless characters. They might say it's new and modern but it isn't. It is horrible what they have done to this amazing 40 year old epic journey.

Symbolism in this film is NOT subtle: Luke tossing the lightsaber behind his back? Thats Rian's contempt for everything thats gone before. Luke squeezing alien sea-cow teets? Thats Disney milking the franchise dry. All that chat aboutSymbolism in this film is NOT subtle: Luke tossing the lightsaber behind his back? Thats Rian's contempt for everything thats gone before. Luke squeezing alien sea-cow teets? Thats Disney milking the franchise dry. All that chat about "killing the past" and the Fascist/Communist book-burning? Thats Kathleen Kennedy reappropriating SW's burnt out husk to serve political agendas. Utterly DISGUSTING piece of film that will only be more despised with age.… Expand
