This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie takes everything beloved of Star Wars and dumps on it. Plot holes abound and the characters take a back seat to the plot. Why was losing a few dozen pilots while taking out half a million enemies a disaster? Because the plot needed to make a point. Why was Luke a grumpy gus? Because plot. Why was Finn discarded to the sidelines, because the director didn't like him I guess. The movie makes no sense unless you take into account that the director wanted to deconstruct and take a dump on Star Wars. Terrible movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They fundamentally changed Luke's character without providing an adequate or logical explanation as to why. A lot of elements from TFA was tossed out the window or shat on. And the established lore itself was pretty much ignored for the sake of what looked cool if you didn't think on it. Also didn't help that Rian though that subversion in an of itself is automatically "good" Overall its a mess of a film that screws over both JJ Abrams work on TFA, and the Star Wars Lore in general.… Expand

It feels like someone made a movie to make fun of SW and its fans. The movie was trash... there was nothing happening that advanced the story or characters. They killed off Luke, and almost all of the resistance, and that is it. Finn became an annoying, obsolete character. Rose was introduced and she was also annoying and unlikable - no offense to the actress though. Anyone with common sense should know that the actress had little to do with what kind of character Rose was, and I do not blame her in the slightest.
Rey was OP. Cool. Sigh... I think Rian Johnson was a terrible choice for this movie. I don't know who in good conscience said it was a good idea to have a trilogy directed by different people with no already planned out story? Like wtf, seriously. Disney, you messed up big time.
This cannot be undone, but Rise of Skywalker and even The Force Awakens were much better movies than The Last Jedi, and had all three of them been directed by the same person, with an overarching vision for where the story and characters would go, we Star Wars fans might have gotten a decent trilogy.
I don't wanna blame RJ for this mess, but he did kind of **** on a lot of beloved characters and lore, and so yeah, he did a terrible job at Star Wars. Barely anything makes sense if you think about it. RJ didn't think anything through... it's a shame.… Expand

Offering up challenging developments at every turn that mostly develop the decades-long franchise in a creative and fresh direction. And, though some of the decisions may be a bit more difficult to swallow than others, the sentiment to mix things up after 40 years of lore is definitely admirable. It also helps that the set pieces and lightsaber battles are all on point, and the fact that the characters and performances are all in line is also a plus.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My viewing of The Last Jedi was constantly polluted by cringe. It could have been a great movie. Empire was my favorite installment of the Star Wars saga. The second film in a trilogy is where things can get weird and norms can be broken. I can see that this was Johnson's intention, but the film feels cramped and forced. Last Jedi felt like an indie movie stuffed into blockbuster pacing, which just doesn't match up. I enjoyed the subtlety of Ridley's story line, but the moral messaging of the Finn/Rose plot and the Po/Holdo plot were so beat-you-over-the-head straight forward that I had troubles taking them seriously. Besides, I'm not sure I love the message of Holdo. I know that it was meant to read as "trust women," which I will always get behind, but it read more as "blindly follow orders and complacently accept a lack of transparency." It feels so militaristic, running against the pro-democratic messaging of the entire Saga. The dialogue in Star Wars has always been a little odd, but, other than Driver and Ridley, the cast of Last Jedi couldn't pull it off like Fischer, Hamill or Ford. If I ever hear "master codebreaker" again, I will have a psychotic episode. The humor of the movie got laughs from disinterested parents brought to the theater by their kids, but was nothing more than cringey gags. I missed the sarcasm and blissful camp of the original trilogy.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I respect this film for having a black and a East Asian character in it. But I do not respect it for not having a character of each ethnicity in it. Where's the Arabic characters, where's the eskimo characters, where's the native American characters, where's the latina characters?! I'm also very disturbed that film film didn't have equal screen time distribution of both genders and although it had a black character and a East Asian character their screen time wasn't as much as the white characters overall. To of truly been a perfect film this must have had screen time that composed of 10% white person screen time, 10% black person screen time, 10% Latina person screen time, 10% East Asian person screen time, 10% Arab person screen time, 10% Pakistani person screen time, 10% Indian person screen time, 10% person native American screen time, 10% Greenlandic person screen time and 10% mixed race person screen time to truly bring equality to society and showcase that all ethnicities are equal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would've been far better if Rose Tico came out as a transexual and brutally sexually abused Finn's buttocks as Rose looked like a transexual and of course women and transexual's deserve sex whenever they like. Also this film deeply offended me as I can't do all the magic powers some of the characters can do in the film so that made me squeal like a little girl and gave me sleepless nights for two days after watching this truly disturbing film!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly I am writing this "review" just to clear my head and get back to my normal life. I am literally obsessing on how mixed I feel toward this movie. I can't concentrate. So here's my pros and cons list. I will probably update. (again, just to keep my head clear)

Pros:
-Gorgeous cinematography
-Fantastic action sequences
-Interesting dynamic between Kylo and Rey
-Interesting and much needed "end" to the traditional jedi way
-Great acting by Mark, Carrie, and most of the other cast members
-Incredible scene in Snoke's throne room (yes, all of it)
-Kylo is a fascinating villain
-Interesting focus on the "grey" areas between the black and white
-Force ghost Yoda
-Mostly funny humor
-Overall very fun and interesting to watch

Cons:
-Continuity from previous episodes is neglected
-Slightly off-putting meta-narrative about "forgetting the past"
-Luke's character arc is questionable at best
-Snoke is a throwaway villain with no backstory after being built up in Ep. VII
-Captain Phasma is another throwaway villain with a stupid death
-A couple plot-holes (Ex: Luke goes into exile, but they found a map?)
-Many moments that are just strange or written poorly
-Finn and Rose subplot is literally pointless, romance is forced and cringe-worthy
-Finn gets no character development
-The casino subplot could have been avoided if Holdo hadn't been a b**ch to Poe
-Poe came off as an idiot
-Excessive CGI, especially in the casino
-Luke's final battle with Kylo was neat, but overall disappointing

In conclusion, I can safely say that this movie is divisive for fans. While most tend to choose one extreme, I myself am torn. I had fun watching the movie, and am generally interested in the story. That said, I can't ignore the problems like some fans.… Expand

The LastThe problem with The Last Jedi is The Force Awakens. That film had a nostalgic, "feel good" tone and brazenly meant to bring back "everything you loved about Star Wars"-- especially stuff that was mostly missing from the prequels. The Last Jedi takes an almost diametrically opposed approach-- it wants to --question-- everything you love about Star Wars. It is easily the most (only?) postmodern mainline Star Wars film, which is not going to sit easily with some. Sure, it's still "good guys vs. bad guys", but it's also more complicated and deeper than that. It attempts to subvert a lot of what fans assume about Star Wars. In the end, though, it stays true to those ideals. What it should have done more effectively was try to explain to fans how and -why- those ideals and assumptions needed to be subverted. Especially in regard to the Force and exactly what powers it entails. Ultimately,the Last Jedi adds depth to the post-Lucas saga and doesn't skimp on the tried-and-true Star Wars elements, either. If The Phantom Menace was, as Lucas put it, a film for children, Last Jedi has more lofty ideas. Far more often than not, it expresses them impressively well. Where much of the poignancy of The Force Awakens was the result of genuine but not cheap nostalgia, here it feels more driven by story, character, and acting. If you want to pick apart the minutiae of what "can or can't" happen in space or plotting details, the fruit is there. As a space opera, The Last Jedi is more than good, and it's very good on several other levels, too. Reading in hindsight that Disney/Lucasfilm were literally making The Last Jedi up as they went along, without a predetermined vision or story arc for the new trilogy, makes sense, because in terms of tone and approach Disney pulled a bait-and-switch with The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.… Expand

Butane9000Dec 19, 2019

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't intend there to be any spoilers but they may appear:

The core takeaway from this movie is it's disaster of a plot. Star Wars hasn't every had really stunning plots or story telling. But fundamentals of writing and viewer engagement is ignored. Combined with the plot requiring character assassination of everything we knew from previous installments.

The biggest flaw with The Last Jedi is it's director deciding that this film (the second in a trilogy) will end all story arcs created in The Force Awakens. The inherent problem is that this is in fact a trilogy and therefore story arcs need to continue into the third chapter to bring the story into completion and give you time to build satisfying endings. By choosing to do this the director irreparably harmed the future installment(s) as the third chapter has nothing real to build on. In this regard The Last Jedi is a complete narrative failure.

The start with the centerpiece of the movie. The space chase, a manufactured and entirely unnecessary plot device and source of tension through the movie. This creates the side plot to create the character Rose who is essentially without any substantive meaning and appears to be thrown in for some form of diversity quota. Rose's love interest to Finn character is also out of nowhere and entirely unnecessary. The space chase also creates the second side plot of Poe vs the Commander which is entirely unnecessary as Poe being the commander of her fighter squadron is of rank to be included in their strategy discussions. This results in Poe staging a "coup" that fails even though by narrative there was no reason for it except extra tension in an otherwise emotionless situation.

Adding onto the space chase is the gutting of established canon of the franchise. Lasers arcing in zero gravity as if they had gravity. A person in space essentially frozen flying themselves with the force they were never trained with back to safety though by all accounts they were dead. Military forces on both sides acting as if they have zero military background is basic tactics.

The character assassination of Luke was by far the most appalling in that they committed it but he had the most intriguing plot device that wasn't used. Luke attempted to murder his nephew to prevent the darkness from rising. The same Luke that ignored Yoda and Obi-wans suggesting to kill Vader and to go above and beyond to redeem and save him. The Luke full of compassion becomes old, cynical, and places himself into exile ultimately deciding the Jedi order needs to end. This is by far the most compelling plot device because it essentially sets up a Luke vs Snoke comparison and story that's never acted on. Snoke mentions the failure of the Sith (Emperor & Vader) and that it was good they failed. Luke thinks the Jedi need to end because they inevitably bring ruin to the galaxy. However both Luke and Snoke have very different beliefs in the force and what it is and how it should be used. This is by far the most wasted plot device of the whole movie.

The most visually stunning scene (the hyperspace jump) is created by again showing the supposed strongest military order in the galaxy is incompetent. After looking back at this movie it makes me irrationally angry not that the franchise was damaged by this (which is was and continues to be) but that it's writing is so bad I talk to people about it and they can't remember core details of the movie except that it exists.

I watched this movie back when it released and I haven't watched Solo and don't plan on watching Rise of Skywalker. I can say irrevocably this movie was a narrative disaster in writing regardless of how you feel about other controversial subjects regarding it's characters.… Expand

There is so much cringe in this movie it's amazing. Terrible plot, ruins every single character that appears in this movie.

I'm trying real hard, but I can't think of a single good thing to say about this movie.

The Last Jedi carefully dismantles everything JJ Abrams was working towards in The Force Awakens and attempts to balance itself on a crutch of humor in lack of an actual competent plot. The Last Jedi, if it weren't a Star Wars film, wouldThe Last Jedi carefully dismantles everything JJ Abrams was working towards in The Force Awakens and attempts to balance itself on a crutch of humor in lack of an actual competent plot. The Last Jedi, if it weren't a Star Wars film, would have been considered mediocre at best, but through high production values and blatant fan service has the critics utterly fooled. This film does very little to properly advance the plot, mishandles Luke Skywalker's return in the worst way possible, squanders major characters from the previous installment giving them things to do which has nothing at all to do with the overarching plot and does nothing in any way to advance it, and takes major plot points that were being build up to and shuts them down as having been nothing all along, clearly trying to suggest they're 'subverting your expectations' but instead it comes across as lazy, horrible writing.

This movie is a travesty - The 'Phantom Menace' of the Disney trilogy and will forever be a dark stain on the Star Wars franchise. Hopefully Abrams can get things back on track in his next installment, although he has one hell of a mess to clean up...… Expand

In fact it has some really great moments that bridge the gap to even the original trilogy. And I commend the movie and Rian Johnson for taking some big risks and going to unexpected places. The problem is that overall, the result is pretty confusing and alien to the franchise.

The Last Jedi doesn't exactly feel like a continuation of what we saw in the last film, and it doesn't seem to lead anywhere that is very interesting. Characters often act like different people, and MANY things that were set up in The Force Awakens (in some cases as intriguing and important, but even inconsequential things) are paid off to little effect. But at the same time, the actions that take place throughout the film aren't resolved in a way that is compelling, so it feels less exciting than tedious to have to wait for the next installment.

The Last Jedi is a well-intentioned sequel but unfortunately slight mishandlings and some structural problems result in an entry that probably won't be beloved by many people. It's worth getting your butt into a movie theatre seat, but be ready to forget the movie very soon after seeing it.… Expand

This movie is way to silly. Remember those cute BB-8 moments from Episode 7? You have one of those every 30 seconds.
And dozens of "cute" animals with big eyes going "weee" to make casual theater goers go "Ohhhh!".

Also this movie had way to much CGI. The amount of creatures/monsters/races in this movie that are so clearly just CGI is far bigger than in Episode 1.

And the action also has a lot of meaningless Micheal Bay "Shoot! Shoot! Boom!", like in the mindless Rouge One. Barely any action scene was built up to, so you could be invested.
They just happened to have stuff blow up and people shoot.
And they are flawed by making little to no sense in the events happening during them.

But the worst part was the story.
Not the core elements that are supposed to build a bridge between Episode 7 and 9, but what this director has done to the characters.

Several characters are wasted with meaningless deaths, that had no real buid-up.
So much potential was wasted, just for some quick and cheap shock moments.
So many developments, situations and solutions make no sense and are the cheapest of plot devices. The actors were made to say the stupidest things, while receiving the worst directing.
There are so many cheesy, generic and cringy moments and lines, it makes Episode 1 look like a very serious and dark movie.

Thank god that J.J. Abrams will return for Episode 9, hopefully he can still salvage this trilogy.

But I can't believe that Disney wants THIS director to make them a completely new trilogy. I hope they change their mind, if not, Star Wars ends for me after Episode 9.

The overall tone and style of "The Last Jedi" was nothing less than the Ghostbusters 2016 of Star Wars.

It's the worst of the main 8 Star Wars movies, it's not written or directed like a Star Wars movie, it wasted characters, it wasted potential, it made a mind- and senseless summer blockbuster giggle-movie out of this, it destroyed all the things that were built up in Episode 7, and it pretty much doomed this trilogy.

Everything that people were afraid of when they first heard that Disney bought the Star Wars license: This movie made it become reality.… Expand

I was AMPED to see it when it came out. I saw it opening night in the theater but was REALLY disappointed when it was over. Just recently I went back and watched it to recap to get ready for Rise of Skywalker. After watching it wit fresh eyes, now I love the movie.

For me, I think the reason I initially didn't enjoy it was that my expectations of what I WANTED or WAS HOPING to see is not what I got to see. The story didn't go the way I wanted or was hoping for it to go, and as a result, there were characters I wanted to find out more about but didn't. I think that was the main thing. ONCE I PUT ASIDE MY OWN BS, I was able to watch this movie and really enjoy it. I think it is a good movie and addition in the SW franchise.

Isn’t it funny that all the critics think it’s a great film but every single viewer thinks it’s one of the worst movies ever. Not just because they ruined Luke and wasted half the movie on finns pointless side quest. It doesn’t capture anything, goes for ages yet nothing happens, ruined everything the first movie started and possibly already sets the next movie up for failure. Critics out there need to have a good think and stop trying to look like an individual, it was utter garbage and should be scraped from cannon altogether. Last time I tried to rewatch it I feel asleep it was that boring. On rotten tomatoes there is an no love by the fans. Of course you will say they have to much heart in it and it’s creating a bias caused from nostalgia but that’s just wrong. You should have love for the film it’s what makes them good, not something that completely screws all the fundamentals of this universe and just throws everything into chaos because the story writer wanted to look bold. He did it for himself not for the fans and not for the story and I hope he never has involvement in star wars again. Period.… Expand

Were at a time when equality is no longer a thing.... instead its "watch us, were better"
Women are better than idiotic men, people over 30 are morons, feminism is great (when really feminism is chauvanism in a new wrapper) , your past heroes that shaped the universe are a joke, the list of idiocy goes on. Its only then you will understand everything about this impossible bland plot, shallow, terribly written, hell hole of a film. (If you want to see something great, with extremly well balanced equality.... watch "Fringe").
its not star wars, its "this is the new 2010's new order were filling you with""
Critics are obviously paid to like this trash.... especially given as they gave the joker such a low score (but look at the user score, notice a pattern? ) I feel sorry for our childrens future. Youre all being mouth fed modern politics in a shell that used to be a wonderfull franchise called Star Wars. .

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TL;DR: Rian Johnson took what made Starwars the greatest sci-fi movie franchise ever and just ruins it completely.

A toddler can make up a better story line... Disney butchered everything that made Star Wars special and enjoyable to make money off of its dead body. The main protagonist is a huge Marie Sue which is a big turnoff for me. She has virtually no background information to go on. Heck the main "villain" doesn't even have any history or introduction. Now that I think about it the entire movie has nothing to go on other than an "abandoned child" that is somehow the next Luke Skywalker.

Absolutely nothing makes sense and the narrative is confusing, with so many irrelevant side characters that add nothing and blur out the main narrative even more. The forced cultural diversity can be noticed in every scene that includes more than just the characters.

I feel disgusted about the end result of this "movie".… Expand
