This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I agree with all the other negative reviews here. It opens with a Simpsons phone crank and goes down hill from there.
This movie is filled with gaping plot holes, characters either doing dumb things or performing contrary to their established natures, hates white men, and takes a flame thrower to all previous SW movies. If you take 10 seconds to actually think about what's going on, your head will explode.
Numerous nonsensical items have already been listed on this forum, but I would like to offer one more because I haven't seen it mentioned yet. It's not a "huge" thing - just indicative of this illogical farce. Apparently, Chewbacca has no problem risking his life to chauffeur his new boss Rey (yes, she actually orders him around) to the enemy's flagship so she can "save" Kylo - the same kid who just murdered his best friend a few days prior. Can you imagine the Chewie of IV-VI (or any other sentient being) going along with this BS? WTF?
I'm angry the creators and "professional" critics duped me into wasting my time and money on this garbage. But what really irks me is how Disney abuses its media muscle to attack those who dump on their 100+ million crap fest. I guess that's how the Alt Left operates these days. Anybody who disagrees with them is a racist, misogynist, or some other subhuman basement dwelling hater.
Fine.
Not one penny more will I spend on anything related to this franchise. I'm out.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a huge SW fan I'm here because I have to speak! Do you know what it's funny? Some desperate Disney stans saying things like that: "Don't listen to the bad reviews or the negative people, the movie is great", "Ignore the haters, go to see the movie". Haters??? So you dare to call "haters" the immense majority of the SW FANS who don't recognize Rian Johson's crap as a Star Wars movie? So are they lying about the ridiculous things that they saw in this movie? So Leia doesn't fly? Luke doesn't refuse to train Rey? He doesn't not throw away his light saber? He doesn't milk a "space cow"? He doesn't die without actually fighting? Yoda's ghost doesn't burn the Jedi books? Rey is not a nobody with magic powers (Marie Sue) she got without trainning? Snoke doesn't die without a explaination about his past or who he is? Snoke... What a silly name for a villain that was supposed to be the most dangerous Sith of this new trilogy! It sounds more like a perfect name for a pet. Yes! I can imagine a dog or a cat called Snoke. I bet there are pets with this name, and there were BEFORE the character was created! Come on, Snoke, don't pee on the carpet. Snoke, come here to drink your milk. It's NOT a good name for a villian. And for what I know in Star Wars, the big villains are Sith and have a "Darth" before their Sith names!
Well, all I have to say is NO! I won't to see this movie, I won't pay to see this, I won't give any money to Disney anymore! The fans are not lying! This movie sucks.
Disney look a little desperate, paying critics for good reviews and making some people (Mark Hamill, Angry Joe) apologize for being honest about how bad the movie really is!
And they want us to buy books and stuff to read their absurd explanations for some things that the movies could not show??? Only money matters to Disney!
I prefer "midiclorians" a thousand times than "The force is female" (and I am a feminist woman)! Kathleen Kennedy, I have to say something to you: The Force is NOT female or male.It has NO sex or gender! Stop being so ridiculous!
So you think you can create new rules or powers for the Force users without any complainning from the fans of this series? You are very stupid for thinking so. It's the same as someone deciding to make a Superman movie in wich he can become invisivle, wears yellow suit, can hold a big piece of kryptonite without getting weak and doesn't fly anymore! Fans will say "This is not Superman, it's someone else". That's what's happen with Star Wars as most fans are saying: "This is not Luke, this is not the Force, this is not Yoda, this is not Leia and this is not STAR WARS!" If Disney couldn't not see that it was going to happen, so they are really stupid! To me Rian Johnson, Kathleen Kennedy, JJ Abrams and Disney are all big morons. Thank you for killing my beloved franchise! And I am NOT an old generations fan!… Expand

As the follow up from to theThis movie is everything wrong with Hollywood and why I have lost faith in Star Wars under Disney. Never has a movie/franchise mistreated both fans and the original creator so much then this movie has done. As the follow up from to the horrible The Force Awakens, this follow up does nothing new or proactively pushes the narrative while trying to be new and "bold." It is laughable how bad the script is on a technical level as well as story level when you fundamentally don't understand how a beloved character such as Luke is supposed to act. Rian Johnson does not understand the universe he is working with, disrespects the story (Episode VII) before it to continue a follow up, and he does all of this while sitting on a high horse believing he made art when it is nothing but utter garbage. When you try so hard to put spectical and your own ideology before story and character you will result in garbage as this. This movie shows me what Disney's true colors are and I can easily tell they haven't take any liberty to understand what special universe they posses. Especially while writing this is after Bob Iger's autobiography is released where he admitted to conning Lucas (intended or not) on having Lucas believe they will do his story and his sequels justice. Now I agree with Lucas after Episode VII was released, he did sell it to white slavers and Star Wars is truly dead. I have a decent feeling after two years and this movie has really spit the fan base that Episode IX will not do well. I do not plan on seeing it for one. I bought multiple tickets for each Star Wars movie and I as sure many other have who will not see it. Just stick with the originals and if you crave more Star Wars then watch the Clone Wars Show and prequels. At least they're done justice in the way of good, original ideas by someone who cares for this galaxy far far away...… Expand

I don't understand how it's this high rated on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. I enjoy a lot of sci fi, fantasy and action movies, so I don't think I'm too much a critic either.
It's cliché, predictable, illogical and I don't feel like I care for the characters at all (while I usually do in other movies).
It feels like Disney tries to make the new star wars movie applicable for all ages to maximise revenue. By doing this, the movie naturally gets more cliché (as some people like this), predictable (as some people don't like change that much), and illogical/plot holes etc. (more sloppy store writing as some people doesn't care if something makes sense or not).
I really enjoyed Star Wars 1 to 6, but the last three movies have been absolutely horrible after Disney took over.
Seeing a movie that ruins the franchise and getting great reviews is just sad. That just means that Disney will keep making boring characters with illogical jokes just to move the plot forward in an entertaining way for 13 year olds.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If someone told me that I would have signed metacritics just to express my opinion on a single movie, I would have laughed out loud. Instead... here I am.
Welcome to Star Wars **** Leftist All-Minorities-Included Edition.
I have read in the news that some angry Star Wars fan published an edited version of The Last Jedi without all the unnecessary feminazi, social justice warrior, vegan, diversity-at-all-costs nonsense... and all that remains are 40 minutes of nothing.
I also had the same instinct to try to save the movie by editing out the nonsense. This guy saved me time and effort. Neither of them is worth the trying. We have to admit that this movie is **** beyond any repair.
The leftist turn had already been slapped in our face through the red-dominated posters, which by themselves were a complete digression from the look and feel of the Star Wars franchise. The movie confirmed that it was at no point the intention of Rian Johnson to make a good Star Wars Movie. His intention was, and he may admit it publicly sooner or later, to shove in our throats tons and tons of barely concealed anti-male, female-supremacy, anti-western-civilization, pro-diversity-at-all-costs, leftist, anti-capitalist, animalist, vegan propaganda.
Let me be clear about it. I am a 51 years old leftist, feminist, vegetarian, animalist man, but God this movie stinks!
One may think that Rian Johnson spent 99% of his time trying to conceive a way to shove all this propaganda up our asses and only 1% of the time trying to write a decent script.
The result is a movie which has been correctly described as a catastrophe, a travesty, a piece of the worst kind of agit-prop propaganda.
Beyond that, on a strict cinematographic plane, it is full of plot holes, bad jokes thrown in our faces for the sake of themselves, unrealistic twists and subplots that add nothing to the story.
And it does not a good service to the causes he so desperately wanted to push: the actions of the two women, admiral Hey-I-Am-Lesbian and poor-fat-ugly-stupid-self-appointed-minority-social-animal-rights-warrior Rose were so misconceived that they put at serious risk the lives of the rebels (Rose stopping Finn from destroying the cannon, thus giving the First Order the possibility to wipe off the rebels) or worse they caused thousands of deaths (admiral Holdo not telling anyone her plans and subsequently hesitating way too much before finally warp-ramming Snoke's starship).
Freeing the animals (and not freeing the slave children!) only to have them most probably recaptured the day after by the rich-and-therefore-bad people of Canto Bight is not only useless. It is plainly stupid and puts in bad light the animal-rights movement.
Is Rian Johnson a double agent of the worst right-wing white-male-supremacists? If so, good job Rian!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lack of imagination, poor and vague story. Worst movie of all SW movies. Piece of crap direction. Sure, cool two scenes, Luke and Yoda and the fight at Snoke throne room. The space battle does not make any sense. Heroes dying, I have no issues with it, eventually they will. The plot of sending people to the casino world is useless. Sure, he based the Force powers shown on the movie on Extended universe novels, but again, the problem is the lack of imagination, he could take several good plots from TFA and develop them, but no, he didn't care about any of it. Also, the most sad part of this movie, is that he basically gave the middle finger to "ALL" suffering, blood and tears shed from episode 3.5 to episode 6. Now, the Rebels barely have an spaceship. At least after episode 3, there was a senate and the rebels have enough time to organize and fight back. RJ ruined this trilogy, hopefully JJ will come up with something to make it interesting again.… Expand

That critics gave this film aThe screenplay was dysfunctional as a dramatic narrative. That is not an opinion but a statement of fact since I am myself (among other things) a screenwriter with a great deal of education in dramaturgy.

That critics gave this film a glowing review does not bade well for those critics' credibility frankly. From now on I will not rely on the mainstream media for reviews since all the well known reviewers are either uneducated in the art of storytelling (so why should I listen to them?) or have other motives for providing misleading information to the public.

What they did to the once great character of Luke Skywalker is unforgivable. Mark Hamill more or less created that role, beating out Lucas's terrible dialogue and imbuing him with great spirit and conviction. He was a character I looked up to as a child, my ultimate hero, and they treated him with such disdain, subverting his character entirely without a word of explanation.

And then, in what looked like a last minute addition since it included a shot of twin suns that had not been earlier established in the film - as though to imply gravity to the scene - they had him puff out of existence in a shot that looks like it was CGId in at the last minute also.

Personally I suspect Mark Hamill didn't know they killed Luke off before he first saw the film, but is alas constrained by a gagging order from speaking out. Quite aside from disrespect for the character this showed a total respect for an extremely talented man like Mark Hamill.

I'll be skipping episode IX. Still not decided on Solo, but honestly, the prospects don't look good. The Star Wars saga may well have ended disappointingly for me on December 14th 2017. Ruin Johnson destroyed something I'd been following for 35 years, since the age of 5 and he still won't shut up with his pathetic excuses for the choices he made.

The man has no writing talent whatsoever. I'd love to have a write-off with this guy, a contest to see who can write the most engaging story. The Last Jedi was NOT A STORY. Stories require consistent and fulfilled character arcs of which this film had none. The fact that the writer/director of this film seems unaware of that point just illustrates my point that he has no business whatsoever calling himself a 'writer'.

Anyhow, rant over. Film was awful basically and it kind of hurt me internally, 35 years of emotional commitment was thrown against the wall. I can't even watch The Force Awakens anymore because this film also destroys that film since the questions posed in the first film were inadequately answered in this one.… Expand

A kind of itch in the back of my sensibility. Something II left the theater on the night I saw Star Wars The Last Jedi thinking that it wasn't a bad movie. It wasn't great. But it wasn't awful. At the same time I left feeling bothered. A kind of itch in the back of my sensibility. Something I couldn't put my finger on. I thought about it all night and into the next day. So I decided I would write out the plot on paper to get out everything i still had in my memory bank. As I wrote I began to see more and more clearly the reasons why I felt the way I did. I felt this way after the first 10 minutes of Aliens 3. I loved Alien and Aliens. Ripley had taken us on a compelling and exciting journey and we left feeling satisfied. I loved the surviving characters that were left at the end of part 2 and felt satisfied that they made it through. And then at the beginning of part 3, the writers kill off every beloved character and impregnate Ripley with an alien so she could die in the way she feared most. This is what The Last Jedi felt like. I wont get into the caricatures they made of every character or the plot holes or the story inconsistencies. But they all exist. and I understand. I think i know why. I think we are at a unique point in history. So much awareness and understanding is exploding in this country. We need more movies where all the women are heroes and martyrs and powerful. And we need more movies where men are shown to be men. reckless and angry and wishy washy and cowardly and power hungry and animal abusers and bullies. I believe there are ways to convey all of this. There are many really good movies that have been doing this wonderfully. But I think with the Last Jedi they tried but failed. I will say that it was alot of fun to see visually. It was gorgeously shot. There were a few very creative ways they expanded the mythology and universe that i really appreciated. The action sequences were riveting. The lightsaber fights were amazing. But I wish it was a different movie. I would say go see it and if you leave thinking it wasn't bad but it wasn't great, leave it there and don't overthink it.… Expand

It's very questionableThis movie was awful, I am a star wars fan who watched and liked all the previous 6 movies and played games like star wars the knights of the old republic but even then I couldn't find myself liking this movie at all. It's very questionable when big actors like Mark Hamil have given up and are willing to admit it's basically crap but even just watching the angry joe review on youtube reveals several horrible problems with the movie. They have unlikeable characters shoe horned in like finn and rose who progress the story so little and have the typical relationship of true love in under 12 hours of knowing one another. There's problems for start to finish whether it's the sith becoming ever more encapsulated into stereotypical roles (like the sith apprentices becoming angsty and senseless, sweaty teens along with the old masters being ugly, old and decrepit megalomaniacs, both with no real logic or personality past being crazy selfish) or even the Jedi being short in number but having no interesting characters either. Luke is all over the place (no wonder Mark Hamil seemed depressed) and becomes an indecisive mess who does very little throughout the whole movie and pulls out one trick right at the end before disappearing. Rey has more skill and capability with no training than Luke ever did, random love scenes, terrible sub plots and sadly the direction of the movies leaves little hope for a quick resolution to all this. They have really run the old series through the mud with Luke being the polar opposite of what he should be, powers coming out of nowhere and being illogical and so many other issues. I am sad to say that even I (a complete shill who normally buys anything to support series he likes) won't be buying this movie when it comes out. Even phasma, Kylo Ren and Snoke have poor performances with nothing to lead you to care or want to see what happens next. I feel Disney have really upset the balance of the force here.… Expand

Episode 7 was a lazy recitation of Ep.4 but as a movie it worked. But The Last Jedi is the episode that killed the franchise. The movie itself is a mess, you could remove 3/4 of the scenes without changing the plot. As a second installment of a trilogy it completely throws away most of the original ideas from 7 instead of building up on them and does nothing with the remaining elements. This feels more like a very bad fan-fiction that should never be an official sequel. Rian Johnson is just trolling everybody out of ego and shows how terrible he can be as a writer/director. Star Wars is dead for me now.… Expand

All the pretty visuals in the world still can't mask the piss-poor storyline, hateable new characters, obnoxious SJW propaganda, plot holes galore, and some downright bizarre decisions in pushing the lore forward in the most stupid way imaginable. Star Wars truly is dead, and Rey is still a perfect woman who don't need no man. What a joke.

It also shows that critics are just politically-motivated sell-outs that like anything that's "provocative" or "unpredictable" without thinking twice about the awful screenplay. Worse than the Star Wars Holiday Special, 'cause at least that was made with passion!… Expand

It didn't feel like a Star Wars movie is the superficial description of the malignant issue at hand, despite what individuals defending the film may claim (trust me, most of us love women and didn't really notice or mind those themes. We wanted space battles, cool bad guys, interesting world building/characters, and lightsabers dammit! Stop redirecting the issue at hand in a way reminiscent of the current gun violence issue). It took two hours following the film for me to move past denial, and realize that the film was terrible and I hated it. There's more to it, but no one has time for all of that. It was the most emotionally disappointing movie I've seen in my entire life. Never thought I wouldn't care about seeing another new Star Wars movie again, but Rian Johnson proved me wrong. For what it's worth, the only good parts of the film were Mark Hamill's excellent (if uncharacteristic) performance, and that Praetorian Guard Fight.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie ruined the well built Star Wars framework. Trashing a fleet of Star Destroyers by hitting 1 with light speed? Why all the space fight before? Bombardment in 0 gravity? Hmm.... Turning one of the most positive character to a bitter negative old man without proper backing, who dies of exhaustion? The director is very weak in respect of character building. Ray is a master technician can repair everything, self taught jedi whos power rivals the baddie who had years of training. An all powerful flawless character is ridiculous. 10 year old kids can come up with such hero. Leia flies in 0 gravity and survives (missing jedi training again). Every baddie is neurotic. Where are the serious cool thinkers, who people can believe that they can build a serious war machine? And who is Snoke? Where was he during the original episodes and how does he ground the First Order? He is killed as an idiot nobody! How is that a couple of red guards are almost a match for 2 force users? These are all serious flows in the movie and that the director still does not comprehend what fans are talking about is the worst thing of all. This is more like Space Balls 3 than Star Wars 8.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not only an awful movie in it’s own right, but an absolutely Terrible Star Wars film. If you are a true Star Wars aficionado you will hate this movie with a passion that can only be matched by the Phantom Menace. Established canon is ignored and Luke Skywalker's character is butchered beyond recognition by Johnson. I spent the entire movie waiting to see "Jedi Master" Luke kick dark side butt and although Hamill gives a great performance even he can't lift the absolutely terrible story Johnson has written for him. I very much agree with Hamill that I fundamentally disagree with every choice he made for Luke's character. For gods sake Rian, didn't you think it might be a good idea to listen to a man who pretty much IS Star Wars? For a movie with so much potential you are left feeling that Rian Johnson made a list of the top 100 ways to infuriate the fans and included every single one into this absolute pile of dross. Sure its funny in parts and the Porgs are cute as a button, but despite a good performance by Ridley, Rey's character is yawn worthy and appears to suddenly be gifted the powers of a Jedi Master without any kind of training. Given that the Skywalker family are more or less born of the force and none of them could magically attain their powers this seems like utter crap and will leave you frustrated and despondent. I was so looking forward to Luke "passing on what he has learned" but Johnson somehow didn't seem to think that this was necessary either! The casino scene is utterly pointless and reeks of the over the top CGI nonsense of the Prequels. Rose is also an irritating and unnecessary character who does as much to ruin the film as Young Anakin did in Episode I. I actually wanted to slap her after the line "Now it’s worth it" As if those creatures are actually going to go free. The bad guys have speeders and starships you stupid girl! Johnson didn't seem to know what to do with Finn's character and seems to have written in a totally arbitrary side story just to give him a part, which is a shame as I loved the chemistry between him and Rey in Force Awakens and there was so much opportunity to develop it further in this movie. In fact on reflection I agree with many other fans that this movie is as bad a Star Wars movie, if not worse, than the prequels (maybe not episode I) and really sticks its fingers up to the established canon of the original trilogy and the expanded universe as a whole, which in my view is absolutely unforgivable. Since when could blue glowies interact with normal matter! And are you really suggesting that a Jedi Master as powerful as Luke Skywalker supposedly is could magically die just because he was projecting himself using the force... Utter utter **** No expanded universe author would get away with doing this so how has Rian Johnson been allowed. When are Disney going to learn not to fix what ain't broke! Snoke is killed off far too easily and its frustrating beyond belief that we don't learn his identity (I think all the fans were hoping for Darth Plagus which would have tied in beautifully with the prequels and explained how there was suddenly this ultra powerful Sith Lord floating about) The chase between the First Order and the rebel fleet is ridiculous beyond belief, ignores the laws of Physics and leaves so many plot holes that you will find yourself bored and frustrated, since when were Mon Calamari cruisers supposed to be so fast? and why is it that Medical Frigates and other support ships seem to also be magically gifted this power just by virtue of being associated with them? Whilst its truly great to have more strong female characters and I would have loved to have seen more of "Jedi" Leia, Vice Admiral Holdo is arrogant and incompetent and you are left feeling that she is a "stupid woman" rather than the strong female leader they should have given us. Mon Mothma would never have been so arrogant or idiotic! The whole escape could have gone much more simply had she just revealed her plan from the get-go instead of pointlessly frustrating Poe. How dare Rian Johnson call himself a Fan! Please Disney don't let him anywhere near the Star Wars universe ever again. The critic that claimed that this movie was just as good as Empire should be taken outside and shot for getting our hopes up. Comparing Irvin Kershner's masterpiece to this utter nonsense is nothing short of blasphemy.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Critics giving this movie a score of 85 proves 1 of 2 things.... (1) They were paid; or (2) they spend their free time fellating Rian Johnson (maybe both). This movie sucked. Plain and simple. With so many plot holes and pointless scenes and story lines, the max score should have been a 35 and that's being very generous. The can't even get the synopsis right - "Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker" - WRONG. Luke spends the entire movie **** about the Jedi and doesn't train Rey at all. Yet she inexplicably becomes stronger. What a joke. And this is accompanied by a slow speed chase through space where the First Order simply waits for the Rebel ships to run out of gas. Yeah you read that right. Forget sending 1 or 2 of many ships ahead because the movie would have been over in 45 mins. Worst movie of 2017 and I'd be willing to bet it will be considered one of worst from this decade.… Expand

I did not like force awakens much but only because I thought it was a rehash and reboot rather than a continuation. They could have taken a risk and done something new and fresh. I have watched it again but only for the Millenium Falcon and Hans!

Last Jedi is a different beast. It's bad. VERY VERY BAD and for all the reasons others here have posted and then some. I will never ever watch it again. never ever buy any merchandise it generates. did I say never?

Some would like to think that these negative audience reviews are fake or bot driven but it just ain't so. Last Jedi is so bad that it motivated me to sign up and have a say here and also on Rotten Tomatoes. I rarely do reviews.

that's the real reason for the backlash. not bots. just motivated real people. and if we, the audience, actually loved it, the gross takings would have been much more than $591m. because I would likely have seen it more than once.

like most others this franchise is dead to me. I will never re-watch it. never buy it for home. never buy merchandise. did I say never? I will also NOT go to the theater for the next one. I'll just watch it free on Netflix if its any good.

Dear Disney may I kindly suggest you listen to your audience rather than these few twit PC critics and PC journalists who choose tickle your ear. Or, better yet, listen to me.

thanks.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is so bad, both me and my father who are lifelong fans are insulted. We both have seen every star wars in the theater since 1977, and we can honestly say that when Lucas sold it to Disney it was over because clearly the same man no longer has his fingerprints anywhere on the movies. Even Mark Hamill in recent interviews slammed this movie. "Its not how I would have handled the situation as Luke Skywalker." Lets go over some points why this movie was terrible: 1. The first three movies, 1977 1980 1982 were basically a space soap opera. You became emotionally invested in the main 7-10 characters. The movie plot was built around these characters with action but it was always about these characters which became family.
2. The new movies. Never build up characters up the same way. Who cares about that new pilot? Who really cares about Ren like you cared about Princess Leia? These people never grew or were introduced like a family as in the first movies. The were just individuals wandering around the plot points on separate paths. This did not allow you to become emotionally invested with them.
3. The plot is haphazard, like pieces of a puzzle scattered all about a table from a 1000 piece puzzle. There were many points where you were saying to yourself, why is this part here? For example, why am I watching an alien horse breakout for 15 minutes?
4. Weak bad guy. The first three star wars movies there was a strong bad guy. Darth Vader. This new bad guy? Unsure of himself. Weak. Self doubting. That is really poor for a movie. You want strong opposite polar characters. The bad and the good. Darth Vader and Princess Leia. 5. You can no longer vibe with the old characters they brought back. Its like going to prison for 30 years then coming back home and realizing you dont really know these people anymore. Leia is some old lady no longer with the fiery personality she once had. She doesnt look or act the same. No longer know or recognize her. Luke is now a quitter. Doesnt act like Luke Skywalker. Even tried to murder his apprentice in his sleep. Dies at the end for no reason, almost like he just gave up. Not the Luke I know. And Han just came back for a cameo last movie before he got dispatched. All of them never got back like a family, they were all on their own separate paths. And don't forget the awkward hug between Han and Leia. No romantic long drawn out kiss between them now that they are old, right?
6. Same old (general) storyline, poorly rehashed. Hey, didnt the republic win at then end of Star wars 6 in 1983? Once again its the empire or some version of it chasing down a small band of rebels. Already been there, done that.
So to recap, this was a jigsaw scattered movie with a weak plot with characters you cant emotionally invest in containing cameos of characters you formerly loved but cannot reconnect with basically redoing a movie plot that was already handed in the first three Star Wars movies. It is quite clear the that man who did the first 6 movies handed it off to someone else and these 2 recent movies are somewhat soulless in comparison, being cranked out by a corporate entity who bought the intellectual property with the motive of profit. Yes, of this writing, the movie made close to 800 million dollars. Which means the bottom line says they are going to make more. However as people clue in that these are not the same movies they used to be, profits will fall.
In my personal library I have on DVD on a shelf Star Wars (1977) The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and the Return of the Jedi (1983) along with the next 3 prequels from the early to mid 2000s (Star wars I-III). And as far as I am concerned, that is it. Series completed. These last two movies were like poor fan movies. Yes, this movie blew. I am going to have to cleanse the palate by watching the original Star Wars and forgot I ever saw this.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I grew up the biggest Star Wars fanboy and sadly I just watched one of the best films of my childhood get completely ruined. There was WAY too much time spent on useless and/or annoying scenes. The humor took away from the more serious nature of the movie and that pretty much explains the feel of the entire film. That it just isn't taken seriously. Sadly, I dislike most of the characters, Snoke was not only ill conceived but also killed without truly ever having a moment in these last two movies where he felt like he was the Sith Lord. He gets very little scene time, and monomim background and is eliminated in such a way that felt unworthy of a story antagonist. Then it's followed by a scene that makes no sense in Star Wars which is the "Emperor's Royal Guard" wielding all sorts of weapons (a sword like whip, a staff that turns into 2 axe like weapons, and so on) These baffoons took Rey and kylo too long to eliminate not to mention no force powers were used and from the looks of it if there were about six more of them they could have defeated both Rey and Kylo from how much they struggled with them. Considering he is taking over as Sith Lord (or Supreme Leader) and Rey as The Last Jedi this is simply another very small piece that adds to the whole film simply missing it's mark. I love how J.J. Abrams remade Star Trek and again, I grew up liking Star Wars not Trek and to be honest I feel that J.J. Abrams ruined Star Wars and there is nothing I liked about this movie from start to end thus I gave it a 0. I could explain so much more but I feel that the movie was so bad that I simply cannot spend any more of my time on thinking or speaking about it as it is actually wasting my life. I even turned it off twice because I just couldn't bare to sit thru it in its entirety. So 0 out of 10 Absolute disgrace and sadly the end of my childhood favorite film series since I could care less how the last film turns out.… Expand

Things that I liked - the visuals are stunning, with only a few minor cgi issues. Cinematography, lighting, set design, costumes, all of it was incredible. The music is a step up from The Force Awakens, and I enjoyed it. There is some good acting, mostly from the older cast. Now for the negatives. The story and plot, from start to finish and without a single exception, is horrid. Logical inconsistencies are everywhere, from stupid reasoning and decision making by main characters to a complete inability to explain obvious questions, ie. why the First Order doesn't simply send a couple ships a light speed ahead of where the fleeing "resistance" is heading and cut them off. Then there is the tone, which is all over the place. Forced, horrible humor cut in the middle of life and death situations. Levity from characters like a dejected, defeated Luke that goes completely against what we are told his character has become. COMPLETELY useless subplots that render certain characters pointless. Finn, Rose, and to a large extent Leia might as well not even be in this movie. Also, Rose is worse than Jar Jar. I would rather watch an entire Jar Jar solo film than endure even another minute of Rose's horribly overacted, useless character. Also, they destroyed Luke. Completely, utterly destroyed him. He is a shell of his former self, making stupid jokes, not caring about anything, SHOWING A WILLINGNESS TO KILL HIS OWN NEPHEW JUST BECAUSE A LITTLE BIT OF DARKNESS WAS GROWING IN HIM. Oh I'm sorry, he had an entire trilogy about forgiveness and seeing the good in even the darkest figures in the galaxy, i.e. Darth Vader, yet the boy he grew up with, the son of his sister and best friend, shows he has darkness in him and Luke, in some pathetic showing of weakness, considers ending his life. Pathetic writing. Pathetic story telling. I would give this movie less than a zero if I could. All of this is without mentioning Leia's superman/mary poppins act out in space, where she should have been burned, hit with debris, has the liquid freeze in her body, and have been deprived of oxygen for what looked like several minutes, despite having shown zero inclination of how to use the force at all previously besides little feelings here and there. Oh, and Rey is just as much of an all powerful Jedi god again despite no training. She can do no wrong. She is an angel. There are zero stakes at play for her, because she is perfect. Oh, and then there's the bomber run at the beginning, where gravity apparently exists in space, and someone can be exposed to the vacuum of space and still breath. There's Luke milking an elephant cow thing and drinking it's blue milk...just what in the actual f.... There's the forced political crap, like the Admiral's purple hair, the animal cruelty messages, the obvious diversity just to check boxes. I am a liberal, but don't you dare infect star wars with political statements. There's the Admiral herself, who is set up like a villain for LITERALLY NO REASON OTHER THAN THEY WANTED TO MAKE POE LOOK LIKE A FOOL. Seriously, I challenge literally any fan of this movie to explain why the film did everything it could to portray her as a villain when in actuality she is self sacrificing and heroic, a close friend of Leia's. Why she wouldn't give her plan to the only commander she has left. If you can't trust the military leader of your remaining...what, 250 people?...then who CAN you trust? So dumb. Then there's Luke projecting himself across the galaxy - fine, you want to introduce new aspects of the force, I'm ok with that - only to have him DIE ANYWAYS?!?! WHAT WAS THE POINT OF HAVING HIM PROJECT THEN?!?! Just have him go there if you're going to kill him. Have him fight, go out like a hero, take out a bunch of the First Order with him! Oh, I'm sorry, you wanted to have him die while echoing the twin sun shot from A New Hope. So you twist the plot around to make that happen, when the logic makes zero sense and it's just a "gotcha" moment for the audience. So dumb. Then there's Rey lifting the entire mountain of rocks when Luke couldn't lift the X-Wing after a bunch of training. Wait, what about Rey's backstory being entirely pointless? Even though YOU THE FRANCHISE built it up as some great secret? In the same vein, how about building up who Snoke could possibly be, building up his all powerful command of the dark side, only for him to monologue like every other villain and for some reason not sense Kylo betraying him then dying without a shred of backstory or importance? This movie did so many things wrong, spat in so many faces, that I refuse to see it as cannon. It is a fanfic, a piece of imaginating from a politically motivated teenager. It is pathetic in every way, insulting, ridiculous, funny for all the wrong reasons, and a disgrace to fans.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is absolutely terrible. It takes Star Wars and attempts to turn it into a cutesy Disney movie. Leia Gets blown into space without a suit and they have her come back into the ship using the Force, when Leia doesn't even have enough Force control to part clouds without straining to the point of nearly passing out. Then having Luke be the worst Jedi master of all time, refusing to train Rey for 90% of the movie, just so that she can somehow come to equal terms with a fully trained Sith Lord. Then there's Yoda going and destroying ancient Jedi texts, which would not only never happen, but they also would not be books. They would have been datapads since books have been replaced for over 1000 years. This movie was so horrible that I sent Disney an email asking them WTF they think they're doing with Star Wars. If you're considering this movie, run away, run as fast as you possibly can!… Expand

Strife195Apr 3, 2018

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is a disappointment.

The highlight of the movie for me, was the appearance of Yoda.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of problems with the plots and sub-plots. I disliked the character development or at times lack there of as well as missing backstories. There is also an awkward humor that ensues throughout the movie that at most times I didn't realize was supposed to be funny.

I thought the plot between Holdo and Poe was just silly. Frankly, I thought Holdo was supposed to be a bad guy who was actually working for the first order. When she sacrificed herself, I was confused why the hyperspace jump like that wasn't done sooner. A female in charge doesn't bother me, but the bad story line for this character does. It could have been so much better if she had say there was a spy on board, or if she was a spy on board. I really found her leadership lacking in the way the movie portrayed the character.

The Canto Bight portion could have been completely skipped. In my mind it really didn't add value to the movie and ended up being virtually pointless other than to offer Fin and Phasma the chance to square off, but wasn't worth the time put into it. I would have like Rey's character if there was more development that could happen. One of the things I enjoyed about Luke in episodes 4-6 is the growth he undergoes. Rey comes to her abilities too quickly and I don't feel really faces challenges that grow her into her powers. Instead she seemingly is able to get herself out of every situation without failing.

As a whole, I wouldn't recommend this movie. The overall Plot and Sub-Plots were lacking in detail and arc development. As a whole, this is not a movie I would recommend watching or buying.… Expand

The movie is driven on continuous plot conveniences and has countless plot holes. All of the characters were lazily written and uninspiring. There was no satisfying ending to any of the plot points and some plot points from episode 7 were completely ignored. The movie continuously contradicts the rules and lore in the originals and prequels. Even worse, it contradicts itself a few occasions. The writing of the script felt childish. Words like "tooling" and "unfindable" have no place in Star Wars. The numerous attempts at comedy failed miserably. They felt so out of place and ruined the immersion.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only thing good about this movie is the visuals. Luke has been destroyed, Rose is a totally pointness addition that adds absolutely nothing to the plot and is only there to make the movie as diverse as possible (nothing wrong with racial diversity, just a little much when e v e r y new non-evil charachter must not be a white male). Rey seems to have no character flaws and is a complete Mary Sue. Every character (accept Luke) undergoes no developmental changes and is the exact same as they were at the beginning of the movie. Sometimes I wonder if Rian Johnson even watched TFA, because every single valuable plot point from TFA was completely ignored or destroyed, especially Rey's Parents, which I thought had so much potential but was completely thrown away. Kylo Ren is no longer a intimidating bad guy like he was in TFA, he acts more like a enraged 6 year old with scizophrenia in the movie more than an actually Sith. Such a shame. TFA was okay and it gave great openings for a potentially amazing Episode 8. Unfortunately, any possibilities for a good sequel trilogy have been completely squashed by Rian Johnson and his band of money-hungry SJWs. Absolute abomination.… Expand

I'm saying what needs keep being said loudly about The Last Jedi which is that it is an all round terrible movie. I'm taking the time to do this so that eventually Disney learn the only way they care - financially - that we Star Wars fansI'm saying what needs keep being said loudly about The Last Jedi which is that it is an all round terrible movie. I'm taking the time to do this so that eventually Disney learn the only way they care - financially - that we Star Wars fans will not continue to blindly pay up for rubbish like this. I didn't go to see this multiple times at the cinema or buy it on blu-ray, unlike The Force Awakens. That's them down already about £40 on last time from me. Ensuring we real users give this movie its correct score on Metacritic is very important so everybody should continue posting reviews - we're not paid up professional 'critics' who conveniently score massive commercial films like this ridiculously highly regardless of the reality.

Numerous other reviews point to the glaring plot holes all over this so I don't need to, but they are absurd to the point the film can't be taken seriously enough to review. I was a fan of The Force Awakens, I gave it a 7/10. Sure, it was far too plot derivative and obvious and didn't make nearly enough of some key characters, but is introduced a whole new beginning and some potentially interesting characters and storylines that had Star Wars fans discussing and buzzing with excitement for two years while we waited. It did the job, it got us off and started with something potentially great.

It's fair to say that Rhian Johnson, the director, has NO idea about character development, or crafting a coherent, well thought through storyline that is cohesive to the laws of the Star Wars universe.. doing so would have ensured there are no really glaring, stupid plot holes. The Last Jedi has so many it can only have been put together by a fool who thinks that "not being obvious" is always the right approach.

Questioning Rey's heritage? That's actually quite a good 'surprise' to not play up to fan theories, but to make it not necessarily some huge deal (without going into the plot). But what about the capability of characters to survive absolute zero in space and fly around and come back from the dead? Or Luke's appalling treatment after no role in the first movie as some bad tempered old hermit who has an evil side and shows no traits whatsoever of the wisdom of a Jedi Master - which he is. Not to mention the end of movie decision.. "let the past die" or whatever BS phrase they used. That for me was unforgiveable and why it gets a 1 not even a 2 or 3.

It's not clever, it didn't make for a good movie. It made it a really, really bad. Good movies have payback for time invested and give the audience what they want (in whatever capacity that might be) eventually - example being seeing Luke as the final unfold at the end of The Force Awakens. All fans wanted Luke to have a central role in this movie - it wasn't 'clever' or 'bold' not doing so, it would be like a band going on and playing a couple of their minor hits then indulging themselves playing new songs to the audience all night who have come to hear their greatest hits. That would piss off any audience, that's what Rhian did here. How about the poor, new characters crafted by JJ Abrams? They also got scant development in this movie. Rey's character development stopped as she continued her apparent ability to use the most advanced Force powers with zero training in almost no time whatsoever (remember this movie followed straight on from the last).

Poe? Pointless, mutinous and comes across as "the aggressive little hot headed man" rather than the all action hero he was of the first movie. Then there's a whole raft of really bad side plots and characters. It's a shame to say that Finn now seems completely pointless too as a character.

In short, whereas I left The Force Awakens really curious for more and wanting to see what happened with all these characters. Now I'm just like Mark Hamill - I don't care anymore beyond writing this. While Star Wars is in the hands of those pursuing making current socio-political statements within a sci-fi world, these aren't movies I will be going to see anymore. Starting with Solo - I'll check it out on blu-ray perhaps, if somebody else I know picks up a copy. I won't be giving Disney a dime or introducing my kids to anything but the originals until they get the message and fire Kennedy and remove this horrific idea of Johnson doing an entire trilogy more of Star Wars films.

Hit them where it matters fans - at the box office with the future movies. Help us fans, you're our only hope.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a Garbage piece of crap. For me, Star wars ended after Episode 1.

The Disneyfication of the franchise has taken away so much of what made it special in the first place. And dare I say it, but imho TLJ is now the worst SW film of all time. Even below ep 1,2,3.

Characters with no depth
A Director with no knowledge of the franchise.
A forgettable, nearly laughable villian in Kylo Ren
The Disneyfication of the First Order.
A plethora of really really bad young actors overacting to a huge degree. I'm looking at you Rey/Finn/Poe. The three of you might be fine in the three stooges but in SWs......
And the **** is Rose doing? The lame gags and infantile humour might belong in a kids version of SW or the cartoons, but it has no place here. She is basically a Vietnamese Jar Jar binks eating up screen time.

I just get the feeling Disney went with a bunch of young bad actors so that they could keep the fees low and squeeze the Franchise for all it's worth since the kids will be around longer and can be spun off into more side stories.

TLJ felt less like a Star Wars Episode and more like a marketing movie for Star Wars written by big data analytics to pander to as many market segments as possible without actually delivering anything of substance.

The whole movie is a random sequence of scenes that Johnson thought would look cool. Some do, too bad there isn't some kind of plot to hold them together.

And by the way, did anyone bother to check Johnson's filmography PRIOR to making him direct a Star Wars movie? Guess not, or someone would have realized that he mostly had directed cruds, so far (and TLJ is no different).

Nothing in TLJ makes sense, character development goes out of the window in favour of nonsense that is convenient to the specific scene.

Some scenes are plain ludicrous. Most scenes, in fact. And most have nothing to do with the storyline. Sigh.

This crap while it claims to be star wars, lacks any of the defining characteristics of the preceding films. Say what you will about the prequels, but this (and also the Force Awakens) lack the tone and feel of what we have come to expect from a star wars film. While it is oftentimes a good thing for a director to take us in a new direction, Rian Johnson has demonstrated a lack of a fundamental understanding of any of the preceding material. Had Rian Johnson spent more time developing a plot, rather than "subverting our expectations", as approving critics would say, thereby creating a nonsensical dumpster fire of a story, writing Marvel-type jokes for otherwise serious scenes, and stuffing Disney's political agenda down our throats once again, perhaps this movie could have been mediocre.
