It's pretty laughable to see all this negative reviews stating that this is the worst Star Wars movie ever, that they ruined Luke's character, that there are too many jokes, that none of the fan theories were true...Guys, calm down you areIt's pretty laughable to see all this negative reviews stating that this is the worst Star Wars movie ever, that they ruined Luke's character, that there are too many jokes, that none of the fan theories were true...Guys, calm down you are exaggerating, A LOT.

Obviously this isn't a perfect movie, nor a great movie, I personally think that it's far from being as good as Empire, New Hope or even The Force Awakens, but this is still a really competent movie in many aspects including the writing, the acting, the special effects and the score.

The acting is really solid, mainly because of the direction, let's admit it, Mark Hamill is a very average actor, but thanks to a good direction, he gave a really good performance, same thing with most of the cast. The writing is competent, granted, not great or anything. The visual effects are amazing just like the previous movie and the score...Come on, it's a Star Wars score.

Let's now get into some of the flaws:

First, there are pointless subplots that could've been cut or could've been shorter, like the Casino scene, everyone says it's a pointless scene and I agree.

Then we have the character development, most of the characters don't get any development and they basically stay the same as in the last movie, I didn't learn anything new from characters like Finn, Poe or Snoke who are wasted in this movie. New characters like Rose are really forgettable (I don't hate the actress like many of you a**holes did, she did the best with the material she had which was very poor, and yes, I agree that this character did the stupidest thing in the movie). But we get a new character arc for Luke and Rey. Hate me, but I loved Luke's character. It seems like all of you expected a Luke like from the comic books or other non-film Star Wars media, that's an overpowered wise man, but that would've been the most boring and predictable thing in the world, so it's refreshing to see this character in that "leave me alone, I'm tired of all that Jedi stuff" mood. He was honestly the best character of the movie, the best written and developed character.

So, that's The Last Jedi for me. It's not a great movie, it's a really good movie from a filmmaking perspective. I like Star Wars movies, I'm not a hardcore fan so I could give a flying sh*t about the comic books and all that stuff, what really matters to me are the movies and The Last Jedi is certainly a really good entry, not as good as The Force Awakens or Empire, but certainly BETTER than the prequels, you wanna know why? There's no bad acting, there's no cringeworthy writing, there's no "I don't like sand", there's no overuse of CGI that makes the movie look like a Playstation game...So yes, hate this review all you want, but you must stop using your fanboy glasses and admit that this is far from being the worst Star Wars movie, RELAX!… Expand

The writing, story, and screenplay were all spectacular. The visuals, action scenes, animatronics, and puppets were gorgeous especially BB-8, R2-D2, Yoda, and the Porgs. The costumes, makeup, and hair were beautiful. I loved all of the new creatures in this one especially the Porgs. The acting was stupendous especially Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill, John Boyega, Kelly Marie Tran, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Laura Dern, Billie Lourd, and Domhnall Gleeson. Frank Oz and Lupita Nyong'o's voice over performances were great. Also John Williams musical score was amazing. R.I.P Carrie Fisher the best Princess ever. A+.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1 point for great visuals.

Another point for sound design. Great music and great sound effects. That's it. Everything else about this movie is atrocious. TLJ is literally one of the worst movies I've ever watched in my life. It's not even about it being a bad Star Wars movie, it's just a bad movie PERIOD.

The plot is nonsensical and the characters are very poorly written. There is so much wrong with this movie 5000 characters won't cut it. If you wanna know how truly awful this movie is, go on YouTube and just type "The Last Jedi Review" and you'll see how garbage this thing is.

This movie is so poorly written that you will literally feel insulted when you watch it. You'll ask yourself "is this how stupid Star Wars' producers think we are, that we'll eat up this garbage?"

It's like the SW board of directors got together, made a long list of things they wanna see in TLJ, and then told the production team "make sure everything in that list is in there; nothing else matters. Butcher the story if you have to just make sure this list is complete".

Awful. It's so bad that I'm literally not gonna watch anymore SW movies. SW movies were never AMAZING to begin with or anything, but they were NEVER.THIS.BAD.… Expand

Pretty ridiculous. There are a lot of unesccesry & wtf moments. An example of that, is when Rose Tico nearly kills Finn after he was about to risk his life inorder to many lives. And then Rose kisses Finn while people are dying in the background.

The array of female performers, maybe more than any Star Wars film to date, in particular shine in Episode XIII, the late Carrie Fisher getting a more substantial and interesting role than in Episode VII, and Daisy Ridley as Rey continuing her strong-willed, fascinating arc into potential Jedi-hood. And out of a nice array of new characters in important parts two are female. This film is well pieced together with drama, humor, and wonder, and both with freshness and familiarity. It’s an exciting, intriguing journey the whole way through. The Last Jedi tops The Force Awakens in many respects, and ranks among the best science fiction films I have seen in recent years.… Expand

As the second installment in a trilogy tasked with moving pieces into place for an epic finale, TLJ fails. As a direct sequel to The Force Awakens, tasked with continuing the character, plot, and development threads, TLJ fails. The dialogueAs the second installment in a trilogy tasked with moving pieces into place for an epic finale, TLJ fails. As a direct sequel to The Force Awakens, tasked with continuing the character, plot, and development threads, TLJ fails. The dialogue needs work, but what Star Wars movie can't claim that? The color palette is lacking. The characters feel flat and forced into place for whatever scene the writer decided he wanted to have in his big epic movie. Character choices and motivations make no sense. Tonally dissonant from one moment to the next. Fight scenes poorly shot and choreographed (the throne room scene is a particularly blatant example. if you need to have a full weapon digitally edited out of someone's hand, otherwise they would have murdered your heroine, then it's not well-done). The characters you enjoyed from TFA feel off-brand. The movie seems to go out of its way to tell you and the in-universe characters that you were stupid for expecting Star Wars to feel like Star Wars-- in how things work, in slim chances succeeding. Except, of course, when they do happen the way you expected half a film ago, true to formula, ultimately leaving your heroes in an even worse position than when they ended the last movie. The moral lessons make no sense and are all over the place. Characters and talented cast are wasted. It's lackluster and frankly mediocre in most ways. Finn is selfish and a coward for not wanting to jump all-in for a cause for another army (after being raised abused by another army that didn't even let him have a name and wanted him to be willing cannon fodder), except then the person who berated him for that decides that he's wrong for trying to sacrifice himself for the cause later on. Poe is wrong for the mutiny and being upset with Holdo, but Holdo didn't tell anybody in the entire Resistance they even had a real plan with a chance of succeeding, ultimately leading to the failure of the plan she had. Rey trusting Kylo Ren and confiding in him comes with no realistic buildup whatsoever. I still can't wrap my head around it. You care about Snoke and his origin/motivations? Want to learn really anything interesting or new about the First Order? Too bad. Expectations subverted. "Free the racing animals, but not the slave children." - The Last Jedi's inherent problem in a nutshell.

The pacing drags. Most of the deleted scenes would have been better off in the actual product. But I guess they really needed that milk scene and shirtless Kylo Ren scene? At the very base level when I go into a Star Wars film, I expect to have fun. This movie is not fun. I have not rewatched it but once since it came out, and if my sister hadn't asked, I wouldn't have watched the second time at all. I cannot enjoy this movie. And god help me, I tried to.

There are one or two interesting concepts, which were poorly executed. And one very breathtaking shot at the climax of the film (which takes place 40 minutes before the film even ends, so consider that). The actors are all clearly doing the best they can with what they're given, and they are ALL talented. Kelly Marie Tran is a welcome addition to this franchise! I hope the next movie has her character make sense and stay true to what all the additional canon information told us about her.… Expand

For the amount of money and work it was dumped on it, for the fact that it had a fresh workground to develop from the Force awakens, and that it was supposed to be a continuation of no other than the most acclaimed and beloved franchise of all time, this movie failed so hard that I cannot thing of any possible worst entrance ever added to a movie franchise, something that completely destroyed everything that was so beloved. Sure the resident evil movies are horrible but the resident evil franchise is not star wars, the last predator movie actively ruined everything that was established, same with Alien covenant, sure you can find many other examples, but in proportion to how beloved the original trilogy was, for how horribly they mistreated the old cast in this one, there has never been a precedent, this is the worst possible movie to have ever existed, period!… Expand

Rather than attempting to replicate George Lucas, Johnson challenges the good versus evil storyline of the other Star Wars movies and the very notion of traditional heroism; it's everything Revenge of the Sith should have been and far, far more.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this movie. It's been over a year and a half since it was released. I'm writing this because as soon as I got out of the avant premiere, the hype didn't let me think clearly because I loved it too much. I think Rian Johnson's proposal was very well captured and gave it its own identity in colors, dramatic tensions, unexpected twists and giving us an important reflection on what "force" means. A blow to the center of the jedi ego. And Luke understood that well and his omnipresence levitating in a Zen position left me with an image that was engraved forever. But it is not the only one, this film is full of glorious moments. 1. The beginning is powerful and reaffirms the concept of resistance and sacrifices for an ideal, as with Rose's sister. It also shows us the risk of a badly planned attack with Poe at the head and that Leia lets him know. 2. Leia using force (helped by Luke). Although this scene was not well achieved from the visual point of view, it was a blow for those of us who thought we were losing one of the banners of resistance. 3. The mental encounters between Kylo and Rey gave an unknown and quite interesting dimension to the connection between two people who feel with great power the force. The dupla that both generate is very powerful. 4. The encounters and disagreements of Rey with the Force. Visually it was wonderful as Luke lets him know how the force is present in everything and that it is not something that is dominated, but something that is internalized. Rey lived it from both good and evil. 5. Snoke's death and Kylo's battle with Rey united and then facing each other. I can see that scene over and over and always end up amazed. It is one of the epic moments and again in colour, dramatic tension and the batten fights themselves make it spectacular. One of the turns that tells us that Snoke was not as powerful as he made himself look (and that with the trailer of episode 9 can be confirmed) and in which you don't know what will happen. I'm sure we all think that Rey could join Kylo in that fragment of tension. Very well accomplished all this. 6. Linked to the previous scene. The collision of the resistance cruiser with the new order cruiser at the speed of light was PRECIOUS. The intensity of the scene added to the tension of the encounter between Luke and Rey. Epic moments in a battle that gave no dramatic truce.

However, I think that, despite the good I pointed out, the film falls into two big problems. The first has to do with the risky presentation of a skeptical Luke who apparently gave up. As for the substance of what I wanted to convey I think the message was fine, but it didn't look genuine. Not at least the Luke we knew. That's why a lot of the fans were disappointed. However, I don't find that it takes the strength out of the film, because clearly it wasn't about the old glories anymore and the dialogue with Yoda I think fixes that risky and controversial decision a bit.

The second problem has to do with gaps in the script and the loose presentations of Finn and Rose's story and their search in Kanto Byte. Seeing it in retrospect ends up being left over in the film. Sub-Admiral Holdor was clear from the start about her sacrifice without telling anyone. Thus, the intervention of these characters became irrelevant, even the fight with Phasma. Finn might even have saved the day with his sacrifice, but Disney was not able to make that decision. The kiss that the characters give each other feels very foreign and out of place to what was happening in the film.

The third problem has to do with disney humor. The dramatic tensions were very well achieved and within the epic of the projection of Luke's strength, when he is shot from the AT-AT and dust is shaken when nothing happens to him, he felt little serious and that bothered me.

Taking stock, and exactly 7 months before the release of episode IX, I think it's a film, because of the low, controversial about Luke's treatment and the stories of Finn and Rose. In the rest, I feel it's a great movie and very entertaining. The tension between Kylo and Rey stands out above all else. The meaning of the "force" is a direct nod to what Yoda and Obi Wan once taught Luke and the message of endurance is more than recorded with the final scene of the boy who brings the broom closer by the force. It was never necessarily a matter of being pre-terminated, but a matter of learning.… Expand

I've waited many years to review this film which emotionally left me hollow on openingI'm giving star wars the last jedi a 3 out of 10 because it technically is a bad film though it deserves a 4 or 5 if you love scifi but not starwars. I've waited many years to review this film which emotionally left me hollow on opening weekend. It actually upset me in a way which I can't quite express. Like no other sw film , even the prequels.

As a sci-fi fan and a movie fan and a star wars fan I can't help but love the character and actor like skywalker and Mark hamill but this film seems to hate him and the franchise on multiple levels. Like the recent sonic film they choose in their arrogance to reinvent the wheel for no good reason beyond they could. It's a bad film and a disrespectful film to your time and money and memory. Though there is a half decent film under all the garbage and there are good fan edits out there. They usually have removed almost an hour of stupidity and left a series of impressive action scenes with some of our most beloved stars. Sadly one of those stars has been extinguished. For that reason alone the film is worthy of your time as Carrie Fisher delivers a solid performance. I enjoyed Solo. I liked rogue leader. I loved the original trilogy and enjoyed attack of the clones. The force awakens is ok i guess though seeing han get old made me sad. The last jedi is nothing like these films I like and love. It is not a star wars film despite the packaging and label.

I don't have much more to say beyond I was dissapoited in Ryan Johnson as director because I enjoyed his previous films for being popcorn fun. Jurassic park 3 is my fav film of the series even though it's again a technically poor movie. It was funny. TLJ tries so hard to be a whacky comedy and a political commentary and fails at both. I strongly recommend seeking out that fan edit and give yourself the sw experience you deserve.… Expand

It's been nearly 17 months since the movie was released, and the gap has grown as the hangover from the hype set in. Fans, in droves, are realizing that they've been sold a bill of goods. This is one bad movie, not just as a standalone film, but especially as the middle chapter in a sci-fi trilogy. The nonsensical plot is basically Empire Strikes Back warmed over: we have a space chase story, we have a Jedi training on a remote planet story, and we do have an AT-AT battle on a planet covered with white powder which turns out to be...salt. The comedy is beyond clumsy: TLJ starts off with a prank call and a yo mama joke, and it goes downhill from there. The poorly-timed and cringe-worthy attempts at laughs just kept on coming, throwing off pacing, seriousness, and the overall feel of what is supposed to be a Star Wars movie. TLJ can be written off on that alone, but the complete waste of otherwise interesting characters, lazy plotting, lousy dialogue, lack of any logic, and the intentional disrespect of the source materials all scuttle this turkey. TLJ is so rotten, that the much-reviled Lucas prequels are getting a second look by the disenchanted fans.… Expand

The first time I saw the film, I was disappointed - kind of ‘meh’ on it, not as militantly anti-TLJ as many are, but still underwhelmed. A second viewing (this time with a 7 year-old in tow) changed my view somewhat. Here are the positives: it doesn’t go the way you think, the cinematography is amazing, it’s visually arresting (even Snoke looked great, and I’m a real tough sell on pure CGI stuff...I hated Tarkin and young Leia in Rogue One), and there are some really great, iconic moments. Yes, the story may be a little overstuffed with characters and subplots; yeah, definitely some jerking around with the lore, and the tone wobbles a bit in places. But like the Force doesn’t belong to the Jedi, Star Wars doesn’t belong to me, it belongs to my kid now...and he liked it better than TFA. I think anyone saying it’s worse than the prequels is just being hyperbolic. The Phantom Menace I very nearly walked out on, and the subsequent films didn’t improve much upon that piece of bantha poodoo. The Last Jedi is not what critics have made of it, for sure, but nowhere near deserving of 0s and 1s. The truth is, as ever, somewhere in the middle.… Expand

I can't really add anything to the already unnumbered amount of reviews that rip this hot dumpster fire of a movie apart, but I'll list my gripes.

1. Of course, Rey is a Mary Sue and lacks any explanation for her stupid amounts of power. Barely, if not at all, trained in the ways of the Force and she can somehow beat Luke in a duel. I call b.s.

2. Luke's character. Need I say anything? Somehow he went from one of the most positive and hopeful characters of all of mainstream media to being a lonesome, cranky hermit who wanted to kill a Youngling. Yeah no, way to screw over his character, Ryan Johnson. Glad you aren't working on the next movie.

3. Finn's character arc is totally ruined by that Rose chick coming in and knocking him out of the way right before he could take out the cannon. He could've capped off his story by sacrificing his life and doing the exact opposite what he'd been intending to do since the previous film, to run away from the First Order. But alas, gotta have this random chick come in and stop that from happening.

4. The blatant feminism and SJW leanings in this **** movie. The purple-haired lady, Rose, and especially Rey are all examples of it. Rey, the strong female lead, with absolutely NO explanations for her power or how on Earth she could beat Luke Skywalker of all people. Rose, the pointless addition to the cast made to make Finn look like an idiot. And oh joy, purple-haired lady. Literally the most SJW looking character I've ever seen in all of fiction. I needn't rant on, anyone reading this already knows how garbage this movie is. That said, don't go out of your way to watch it if you haven't already. No need to further fuel the left-leaning movie-making machine that is modern Disney. Don't give them that satisfaction.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw the movie on Day 1, but I wanted to let it cool off, let the controversy blow over and see what I think of it later on. That later on was over a year later, when the hype from both sides has died down and I could watch both it and TFA in peace and in unisono.

In short, I still think that TFA is good. Not excellent, but pretty good and stand on its own as a movie. And most importantly, it ends with opening full of possibilities for next in franchise to explore and build upon. As for TLJ, my opinion did change. For worse. In December 2017 I thought the movie was average, while having one of greatest cinematics, the plot was kinda subpar and characters were okay-ish. With the SW fever over, I can see that I was too generous.

The plotholes for me year + on were even bigger issue, as I cant but keep noticing them, just as I now can see the plotlines that I know will lead to nowhere, put up as red herring that wouldnt be forgiven even to junior director. The casino section is upon re-watching painful to watch as now I know it has no purpose what-so-ever, while at Day 1 I was hoping until last second that it will come full circle and result in something. John Boyega character is criminally ignored by writers, he doesnt do anything, doesnt have any good line and looks like a lost boy who has no place there and shouldnt be there. Squadering his last chance for glory at end is just cherry on top. Daisy Ridley tries her best with scrip she has and while of all characters is given most respect by writers by her having an arc (subpar as it is), it is kicked off its feet at every chance by director. Developing her skills? Nope. Showing us her internal conflict? Nope. Growing as a character? Nope. I detested usage of "Mary Sue" term in TFA, but here ... what else can be said? And Ridley as aspiring young actress deserves better than such poor treatment by writers, just as Hayden Christensen did all those years ago. Adam Driver has by far the best character in the movie, but when time comes to give him his own worth and arc, that is detached from cliches of movie industry, the director simply decides that is not the way and instead we have the cliche baddie who shouts a lot and obviously needs some yoga to cool down. At one scene he is proclaiming want for something new than rehashed sith and jedi dichotomy, offering Rey to build it with him and in next he is Sith lord shouting and screaming to kill "the rebel scum". Disappointing. Oscar Isaac as a character is utterly ruined by Laura Dern character, who wins the trophy of worst written character in history of SW, topping Jar Jar Binks. Rose Tico is there, and she shouldnt. Knowing that one of last scene that Carrie Fisher filmed in her life is levitating through space like a Mary Poppins is heart-breaking. And Mark Hammil obviously wants to play character of Luke Skywalker, but not this Luke Skywalker and no one can blame him.

The plot is non-sensical. Jokes are over-the-top, they wouldnt fly even in MCU in many instances. Any emotion that I should get from the movie are absent. I got teary at end of Rogue One. I got teary when Han Solo died. Here? Nothing. Luke "death" mostly angered me, because pulling inception of a red herring is just cheating. Bad one. All blames here goes onto director and writers. And in this case its one person. Ryan Johnson wanted to direct and write a movie, but he didnt want to do that for movie in a franchise so he just decided not to. And no one had half a guts to look at the script and say "no" to him, just like no one wanted to say No to Great Gorge when he thought that poo jokes are great Star Wars stuff.

And so after decades of disappointment and occasional joy, Disney finally done it. It killed any joy I had for future of franchise. I just cant seem to care anymore.

PS: Movie does get points for stunning visuals and Mark Hammil. Give people who did CGI massive bonuses. They deserve it. And Mark better script. He deserves it.… Expand

У этих пидарасов всё, что не оригинальная трилогия, то говно. Обоснуйте объективно, чем вам не понравился фильм? Актёрская игра? Нет, это кино за 200 миллионов бакосв, здесь по умолчанию отличная актёрская игра. Сюжет? А чем он плох? Несколько сюжетных линий, развивающихся параллельно, пересекающихся и в конце концов сводящиеся воедино. Прямо как в ваших любимых Мстителях, что тут не так? Раскрыли характеры новых персонажей, уже знакомых показали с других сторон. Или по вашему Люку не свойственно боятся и переживать? Это абсолютный герой, которому чуждо всё человеческое? Быть может, если вы так думаете, проблема в вас? Экшен? Качественный и изобретательный, приятно смотреть и осознавать, что фильм не состоит на 100% из одних только перестрелок, как ебучие Трансформеры или Форсаж.

Так в чём проблема? А проблема в вас. Ведь в кой-то век вас поставили на место, дав понять, что угождать вам вечно не собираются. "Всё должно быть по канону!", но почему канон нельзя менять или дополнять, дав взглянуть на известную сагу по новому? "Новые персонажи -- говно, раньше были лучше!". Будем честны, если поменять местами персонажей и трилогии, вы бы сказали то же самое. Дефолтные "они плохо раскрыты", я не принимаю. В течение двух фильмов стали ясны их характеры, взгляды, при том, что они не перестают преподносить сюрпризы.

Так что я, не являясь большим поклонником фильмов этой серии, конкретных актеров или режиссёра, и, соответственно, не имея явных причин защищать этот фильм, говорю: С КАКОЙ ТОЧКИ ЗРЕНИЯ НЕ ПОДОЙДИ, ЭТО, КАК МИНИМУМ, ХОРОШЕЕ КИНО, СТОЯЩЕЕ 300 РУБЛЕЙ ЗА БИЛЕТ И 2,5 ЧАСОВ ЖИЗНИ, БОЛЬШЕ, ЧЕМ ЛЮБОЙ ВЫСЕР MARVEL.

Throw in every iconic element of the original Star Wars (including the basic plot), add some really bad acting (Mark Hamill) and, hopefully, The Last Jedi will be the last Star Wars movie connected to anything from its past.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was awful but not for the general reasons involving wokeness and current year patriarchy bashing nonsense. This movie was bad because of the leadership both in the production and in the characters in the movie. Everyone involved in the writing process is out shopping. it is painfully obvious nobody in this generation was involved in any actual real world military. If we reduce the space opera to a World War Two Admiralty scenario, we can use the following parallel: Imagine you are a Navy Admiral in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attack. In stead of regrouping and reforming for a plan, you gather all the allied forces and retreat. Your Wing Commander wants to make a retaliatory strike, but instead of sending the proper tools for the job, you send the wrong aircraft and smaller boats and sacrifice all of them. You have a plan but you never inform your upper echelon and higher command structure. You continue to deuce out. You just run. Japan’s fleet is chasing after you and the remainder of you forces. Japan’s fleet is picking off your ships one at a time. Your Wing commander on the largest carrier comes to you and states he and the Air Wing can hold off and even destroy Japan’s ships with high altitude low risk bombing runs. If they cannot do this, they could at least kamikaze themselves and buy some time or at least cripple the enemy. YOU as the Admiral say “nah”. No explanation of why, because there could be spies around. YOU as the Admiral ignore the situation and just want everyone to stand in awe of your military tactical prowess by NOT telling your upper echelon and ENTIRE LEADERSHIP the plan and course of retaliation other than to high tail it to Sacramento or San Francisco. YOU as the Admiral share another plan to just stay the course and basically escort Japan’s fleet to mainland United States. You as the Admiral do absolutely nothing and take offense when someone takes initiative. You, as the Admiral, have your Fleet Wing Commander charged with mutiny when he decides to do his duty and his job by fighting the enemy. You do not fight, you do not attack, you do not bargain or surrender, you just stay the course. Then, 3 miles off the coast of California, you alone jump in a submarine and torpedo the enemy vessel. The attack was successful and the dreadnought was crippled, but now the enemy fleet is close enough to land. Japan makes a beachhead and commit to an invasion of California. Now the fleet is without leadership and the war was pulled to mainland US. Good job. You could have done this the whole time, or even remote controlled it into a guided weapon while both fleets were still in Southeast Asia or at the very least, torpedoed the ever loving crap out of the pursuing ships. Instead your incompetence and poor leadership led Japan to invade San Diego and take Temecula and Escondido. The remnants of the American fleet continue to retreat along with the rest of American forces back to the Rocky Mountains waiting for reinforcements from Kansas and Oklahoma. You have lost the war. Half of this movie has a side story where a whinny PFC begs General Patton to lead and then returns alone to Mary Sue leadership of the American Fleet. Two other equally whinny but hubris filled sailors attempt to find General MacArthur but their attempt fails too. Instead they found Bing Crosby and they return empty handed. Nothing they did had any impact on the outcome of the war. They wasted time and resources and everyone’s patience. The movie ends with reinforcements graduating boot camp as a Three Star General. This movie sucks. There was no point to any of this lazy writing and it is indicative of a generation and culture who has seen war on TV but never been to a war or had the threat of war in their neighborhood. Thank you for ruining Star Wars, Pumpkin-head and Hubris Medusa.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is hands down, the worst Star Wars movie ever created. I am a star wars fan, and I will never watch this movie again, ever. Yes it's that bad. Main plot point is that a large first order ship can't catch up to a large resistance ship that is right in front of them.... WOW. Apparently none of the first order weapons or star fighters work after an initial clash with the resistance... WOW. And yes, this goes on for the most of the entire movie. Now let's move on to the character assassination that happened during this WOKE! star wars attempt at a movie. The main narrative for character assassination when it comes to this WOKE! fest is that MEN are completely incompetent. First up, Luke Skywalker is a putz. I'm sorry if you thought he was some strong, accomplished, battle tested leader. NOPE, he's just a hermit living alone, feeling sorry for himself. The film blames his absence for the first order even existing.

Anyone remember Dameron Poe from the force awakens? Military trained, Ace Pilot, Spy that understands the cost of fighting a monolithic oppressive force... NOPE, in this movie he is a toddler that apparently doesn't understand ANYTHING that they have been doing or fighting for. This stupefied version of his character is written so that Leia and Holdo can hold the toddlers hand and tell him to calm down and let the women handle the situation. Mostly because they have written him to rage and fly off the handle at every opportunity in the movie and he does. Because Men are beasts who cannot control themselves... obviously.

What about Finn from the Force awakens? How about we throw him into a completely unnecessary situation (entire casino plot) and forced attraction with yet another new female character that has zero appeal or chemistry with him on screen? Gotta hit that diversity quota I guess... I'm sure the actress that plays Rose is a great person, but the character itself serves absolutely no purpose in the film. The entire Casino subplot was a left political bent fantasy of the writers/producers and completely 100% cringe worthy.

I can go on but really, it was **** movie, with forced far left activism destroying any sense of actual entertainment value.… Expand

I should have realized nobody said it was a great movie, but I found it the most disappointing film I watched. First of all, the pacing was off and the movie jumps from scene to scene without a realistic time flow. Due to reasons other viewers mentioned, I found it hard to suspend my disbelief despite not exactly having high standards in that department. The acting from the villains was over-the-top and the protagonists' acting was melodramatic-maybe OK if this were a romance movie, but it isn't. Both the protagonists and antagonists acted in a manner that broke verisimilitude and rationality.
I guess it was pretty to look at though, like a Transformers movie. To conclude, this movie failed to make me excited about the sequel or any Star Wars media made under Disney. As critics seem to have a very different definition of a good movie compared to mine, I will not be watching Episode 9 unless the audience reviews are overwhelmingly positive.… Expand

Some characters are new and don't do anything and/or what is there purpose. Acting is nothing good - nothing bad just average.

Editing - F.
The movie should have ended at least 15-20 minutes earlier if not more. The pace of this movie is terrible.

Musical Score - B.
Keeps with the tradition of previous Star Wars films.

Special Effects - A.
Great blend of CGI with practical effects. Some of the best in a movie. Along with costume design and make-up.

Cinematography/Production Design - A.
Well done. Looks clean and a well made film.

Overall Score - 4.3/10
Too bad the production, Special Effects, Musical Score, Costume Design and Make-up are not the heart and soul of a movie. In those categories; some of the best ever for a movie. However, it lacks a comprehensive and organize story, new characters one may not care about; along with no character development, poor directing and bad editing; that in the end makes this the worst Star Wars film to date.… Expand

This movie doesn't feel like star wars for one thing. Also along with about three big mistakes and five small mistakes it just makes this movie a lot worse than it could have been. It's not worth watching and just underwhelming.

It's as if they are seeking to have humans hate each other and put them in a state of civil animosity. This movie is pure garbage that destroy and humiliates beloved/established characters by replacing them with unlikable characters that have no story to back anything in what they can acheive.

Kathleen Kennedy is the worst of the worst and she placed the worst trolls of all time to direct this movie by obviously spitting on George Lucas hard work.

1. The first 1 1/2 hours felt like they tried to fit 2 Hours of Spaceballs into the movie: to many jokes, to many stupid punch lines. Anoying
2. Score: uh was that bad.
3. Story: where to begin?
a. That stupid and useless sideplot destroyed the only decent Character (Finn) for TFA
b. Leia flying in Space without a Spacesuit, what dit the secreenwriter smoke? She should have died. Making force users able to live and move in Space is a stupid idea!
c. Hyperspacing into Ships: cool effect, but why did the Rebellion didn't do that with the Death Stars? Droid controlled Frigate hyperspacing into Death Star(s) and not one Rebel life is endangered. Deus ex machina Screenwriting? Alway a bat thing
d. Luke Skywalker giving up his complete ideology and leaving the galaxy high and dry? Who wrote that crap?
e. Why does the Resistance exist in the first place? Why weren't all oft hem part oft he new Republic (which actually existed) ... okay, that is mainly a dumb thing of TFA, but it contuinued to this movie
f. Slow speed chase: why didn't the Empir... ah ... New Order just call for more ships to cut into the Resistances way? Or just jumped in front oft them? Instead they chased them for weeks (remember: Finn and Rose went t that lenghty, useless sidequest)
4. Characters
a. Kylo Ren: still as intimidating as Lord Dark Helmet. And, by the way: Ben ist he Name oft he son of Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker, the Kinds of Han and Leia are Jacen, Jaina and Anakin!
b. General Hux: still a bad Josef G�bbels Joke
c. Chewbacca: he should have eaten all of those anoyying furballs ... what purpose did they have in that movie (except for merchandise)
d. Balldroid: still a stupid and anoyying idea ... by the way: why does it have a coinslot and how many coins can he store? And who came tot he idea repairing something punching ist head into a wiring board and causing a whole bunch of shorts? Hte whole damn X-Wing should have explodet after that stupid droid did that (sorry, electrical engineer speaking ... tha whole thing was stupid)
5. Original Trilogy: everything that happened in the original trilogy has been made irrelevant with Last Jedi (and TFA), except fort he meeting of Han and Leia I believe, that I forgot stuff (a lot), but this covers the most stupid things.
I like Disney, I love what Marvel does under the cover of Disney, but Lucasfilm ... sorry, Luicasfilm went for me from one oft he best studios to one oft he worse:
- Bad Characters
- Bad Continuity
- Bad (and lazy) Screenwriting
- Bad Story
All in all: Last Jedi is in my opinion the second worse Star Wars Movie,the only one worse ist he force awakens (Yes, I thing, that A Phantom Menance" was much, much better than Ep VII and Ep. VIII copmbined .., and Ep.I wasn't even a good movie)… Expand

Only good aspect of the movie, at least for me, are the effects. But visuals can only push you up few points in rating, not all the way...

My childhood hero was Luke Skywalker. Rian Johnson ruined this movie and burnt the entire franchise down with it. This movie had excellent music and beautiful cinematography, but none of that mattered once the character started acting. The acting was atrocious and the plot was ridiculous.

Despite having a collection of over 3000 movies I rarely post a review on movie sites...but this movie deserves its increasingly poor rating.

The cinematography is excellent, as is the score and the effects...but the story is a mess.Despite having a collection of over 3000 movies I rarely post a review on movie sites...but this movie deserves its increasingly poor rating.

The cinematography is excellent, as is the score and the effects...but the story is a mess. Juvenile humour that is jarringly out of place for a Star Wars movie, "world mechanics" that are internally contradictory, repeated middle fingers to significant events in the Force Awakens (which made the rebooted franchise fun to watch).

I'm not even hating on the movie for its blatant political messages or gender and racial biases.

This movie is not a Star Wars story, because it gives middle fingers to plot points from the original movies that started the franchise.

If all someone has to do is fly a starship into an enemy at lightspeed, why the hell did the rebels sacrifice most of their best pilots in a new hope on a million to one chance that someone could drop a photon torpedo down the thermal exhaust port?

Light-speed through the death star...problem solved with one death. Luke Skywalker wasn't needed. At all.

Which is the basic point of why this entire movie is not a Star Wars story...Skywalker is unnecessary. The past is meaningless and insignificant. Giving middle fingers to past episodes by belittling amazing plot points is not "innovative, bold and fresh" storytelling; it is not "growth and revitalization" of a franchise. It's a lazy and disrespectful deconstruction of previously brilliant, original, inspired movie-making!

Rian Johnson should be ashamed that he wrote and filmed this. He is now as dead to me as Brett Ratner since X-3.

Dear Kathleen Kennedy. I will never pay for another Disney-Wars movie. I am infinitely grateful I saw this for free at a sponsored screening. The cosmic irony is that Spaceballs celebrated its 30th anniversary this year...considering that a number of themes from it were used in this movie.

My disappointment has rarely been so profound.

The 1 star is for John Williams, the effects guys, and the unfortunate actors and crew that were contractually obligated to make this stinker. The studios, writers, producers and directors get 0 stars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a complete abomination !

The movie is boring, disrespectful and an incredibly wasted opportunity in so many ways. Which they called "subverting expectations" and "surprising twists".

The main hero doesn't need to learn anything. She is awesome at flying, fighting, fixing the Millenium Falcon, reading/controlling minds, translating the wookiee language and everything else that is put in front of her. But apparently it doesn't matter why she is so good at all these things.

Luke became a hermit that lives by milking aliens, after trying to kill his own nephew and fleeing to an unknown planet. I can't even describe how disrespectful and unlike the original Luke Skywalker this is.

Their "training" consisted of secret talks with Kylo, scenes showing how powerful and open-minded Rey is, how disturbed Luke has become and flashbacks where he tries to kill his nephew. In fact, there is no training at all. There's something like two conversations about the force and the one that learns something by the end is Luke. Rey doesn't learn anything.

Snoke...it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how/when/why he got so powerful, who he is, how did he get a massive high-tech army capable of conquering the galaxy,etc...

Neither the current director nor the past director knows who he is. All they know is that he is the big bad guy, very powerful, with an immense army. Whatever comes next, Ryan Johnson doesn't have a clue and doesn't care that much.

The rest of the film is a festival of boredom. It's full of fillers and plot holes, with a good fight, an emotional scene and many cringe moments.
I don't know how they managed to make such a bad and disjointed sequel, but they did it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't like The Last Jedi because it is a deeply cynical and nihilistic post-modern deconstruction of the Campbell hero myth.

A lot of criticism of TLJ has focused on its gaping plot holes. I’m not going to do that here because most people dont really care about gaping plot holes if a movie delivers a good time and a solid message. The other criticisms you hear are about ”poorly written characters”, ”bad sense of humor”, or “pointless side plots”. In fact, all three of those are symptoms of the underlying nihilism of the film.

REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS

It’s not that the humor in the film isn’t funny. Often, it does make us laugh in the moment, but almost invariably serves to undermine the authority and gravitas of a character, rendering him impotent, which instinctively rubs some people the wrong way. In the first scene, Poe makes an absolute mockery of General Hux. How can we take Hux seriously after that? Finn runs around naked in a leaking bacta suit. Chewbaccas power is drained by porgs. Snokes a joke. Luke’s lightsaber is treated like garbage. And, of course, Luke Skywalker is ruthlessly and vulgarly humiliated at every opportunity. Vulnerability in characters can humanize, making them sympathetic (think about how your felt when Snoke mocked Ren’s mask), but it’s hard to look silly and intimidating at the same time. In contrast, the humor in the original trilogy was almost always either romantic banter or a repair to defuse a tense situation.

Characters seem thin because nothing they do matters and nothing about them matters. Family doesnt matter. Rank doesnt matter. Relationships dont matter. Heros dont matter. The most sympathetic character in TLJ is Kylo Ren as he sinks into the deep, abiding nihilism the film celebrates. Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.
The only thing the good guys have going for them is the Force, which is a stand-in for deus-ex machina. The Force provides. Rey doesnt need a family nor a backstory nor training nor wasted time with self-improvement because the Force does all the work for her. There is no true struggle for the good. Rather, the film posits that there is no good. No evil for that matter. Its all subjective. We are all in a galactic hamster wheel in which nothing ultimately matters. THATS the lesson Canto Bight teaches us through Rose and Finn. Cant find the expert youre looking for? Who cares, there are no experts, anyone will do, any random thief. The Force provides! Obviously, Rose and Finns mission is an abject failure and they learn nothing. They congratulate themselves that at least they saved the space ponies, but its not like the animals wont immediately be recaptured, and they did nothing at all for the slave children. Its no coincidence that Benicio Del Toros nihilist DJ (Dont Join) saunters away rich without a scratch on him. That guy really gets it!
Look at how the film plays with the notion of self-sacrifice for the greater good, one of the classic hallmarks of a hero myth:

Paige Ticos self-sacrifice is meaningless. The dreadnought is easily replaced. Many rebels die. Poe is dressed down and demoted (but not so youd notice-- his demotion is also meaningless. Whats rank?).
Holdos self-sacrifice is meaningless. The rebel hiding spot is immediately discovered.
Fins attempt at self-sacrifice would have been meaningless, if not for Rose interrupting his effort and explaining how pointless it all is.

The lesson for Kylo Ren was that he should not have allowed himself to be distracted by Luke. Luke was only an illusion, a relic with no substance, no real power. Apparently, he was all but dead already. If Ren had only followed his own advice and Let the Past Die, he would have triumphed and crushed the rebels.

I learned that since Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm and rejection of Lucas, there has been no master plan for the new trilogy nor its ancillary projects. Rather, Disney's Kathleen Kennedy has been constructing a multi-billion dollar write-around, with each successive writer/director told to do as they liked, with no regard for continuity, only to be fired mid-stride if she didn't like what they were up to. Abrams did what he does and constructed a mystery box out of "The Force Awakens", questions without answers à la "Lost". Now, Rian Johnson, using Kylo Ren as his personal stand-in, has deconstructed and demolished that box and has built nothing at all to replace it.

"The Last Jedi" takes a treasure chest with seven movies' worth of content in it, dumps it in the dirt, shows us the empty bottom, and jokes about it. We're supposed to admire how clever that is, while not questioning what we are to do with these empty boxes. Kylo Ren's mission to kill the past is complete. I didn't like it.… Expand

Disappointing follow up for an "ok" Force Awakens. Surprisingly miles below Star Wars prequels, but little bit better than Star Wars Holiday Special. Lacks any logic, completely dishonest to characters and storylines, as well as structuralDisappointing follow up for an "ok" Force Awakens. Surprisingly miles below Star Wars prequels, but little bit better than Star Wars Holiday Special. Lacks any logic, completely dishonest to characters and storylines, as well as structural integrity of previous installments. This movie was just a big mistake, what with a single hit ruined the whole francaise. (+) The best looking SW movie. It is just absolutely great.
(-) Don't really care now what happens next...… Expand
