This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. That's it, I'm out, I'm done. I will NEVER forgive Disney for what they've done to this series. Even the prequels didn't wreck the Star Wars universe as much as this did, and at least they weren't just a totally cynical excuse to stuff money down Mickey Mouse's pants. Crabby old hobo Luke throwing his beloved father's lightsaber away like a piece of trash? Superman Leia flying through the vacuum of space? It was cringey and totally disrespectful of the original trilogy. Would give it a negative vote if I could.… Expand

Liberal media outlets are trying to dismiss the backlash against The Last Jedi as "alt-right" anger over a female lead and a diverse cast. This is dishonest; it isn't the diversity and (more specifically) the female empowerment, but theLiberal media outlets are trying to dismiss the backlash against The Last Jedi as "alt-right" anger over a female lead and a diverse cast. This is dishonest; it isn't the diversity and (more specifically) the female empowerment, but the in-your-face preaching about it, that is so off-putting.

It's all very calculated. A purple-haired female admiral, looking like the last thing the audience would expect, comes onto the scene from out of nowhere. Poe even says, "That's not what I was expecting." And in so doing, he is supposed to represent us, the audience. Then, when he is schooled for thinking wrongly, in actuality it's us being schooled.

But we're not sexist, are we? We accept Leia Organa as the leader of the Resistance. But they deliberately present us with this new character, speaking condescendingly and dismissively to the most heroic member of the Resistance, just so they can bait us into being annoyed with her...so that they can then preach at us for feeling that way.

It's the ultimate Mary Sue moment: Come from out of nowhere, teach us an in-your-face lesson, be 100% right, and go down in a blaze of glory.… Expand

I'll start off by saying I never write reviews for movies. This is the first time I've bothered, because this movie is just THAT bad.

I went in with such high hopes. I've always admired RJ for his work, Looper and Brick in particular. Sadly, after watching The Last Jedi, that admiration has been tossed in the trash.

I found myself asking time after time, "did he even watch The Force Awakens?" Because it seems that he went out of his way to burn every bridge JJ built in TFA, without leaving any new ones behind. Mysteries are left unanswered or given shoddy, unsatisfying resolutions. Relationships and character quirks are completely ignored or ruined. The characters and their respective characterizations are just awful. They might as well have just renamed them all and made them new characters entirely. Rey, who I enjoyed in Force Awakens, spends the whole movie trying to reach through to a person who has done nothing but hurt her because, I don't know, she has some delusion of grandeur about being the Luke to his Vader, even though there's no realistic reason for her to believe this is possible. Her actions are naive, stupid and make no logical sense. And ultimately, it all just lands her back where she was in VII. The same can be said for nearly every other character, as none of them truly grow or develop. What a waste of potential. Don't even get me started on the brutal butchering of Luke Skywalker.

The plot, if you can even call it that, is rife with holes and inconsistencies. There's an entire subplot that has no bearing on the story and ultimately accomplishes nothing except taking up too much time and wasting Boyega's acting talents.

The humor is awkward and inappropriately timed. Did we really need a yo mama joke, or Luke milking a bizarre space creature, or shirtless Kylo Ren? RJ tries so hard to mimic Taika Waititi's comedic style, but lacks Waititi's wit and finesse, so it falls flat.

I wasn't completely thrilled with The Force Awakens, but I enjoyed it well enough. I walked away excited to see where these characters and this story were headed. I felt none of that leaving The Last Jedi. My investment in these characters and their story dissipated. I don't care what happens next. To paraphrase one of this movie's most disappointing characters, "for the sequel trilogy, all is lost."

I can only hope JJ turns things around in IX, but I'm not optimistic. As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I'm immeasurably disappointed. What a mess of a film. Only adding the two points because it's visually stunning. If only that were enough to redeem the whole movie...… Expand

A Wasted Opportunity! - New pointless characters that add little to the story. - Finn and Poe doing so little in this movie. - Luke and Leia exiting the trilogy with a whimper. - Snork dead without any character development. - Phasma just being a 2 dimensional character aka punching bag again. - Lousy directing, with scenes shifting back and forth constantly between the various characters. Also ripped off so many scenes from Return of the Jedi and Empire Strikes Back.
- Ridiculous plot holes so large that you can drive a Star Destroyer through. Disney has truly ruined Star Wars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow where do I begin? This movie felt like a huge middle finger to Episodes I - VII. All world building and character development was thrown out the window in favor of nonsensical "plot twists" since apparently the writer couldn't come up with curve balls that actually made sense within the larger context of the saga. To me it felt as if Rian Johnson treated this film as a reboot and did as he pleased as opposed to what made sense to the series as a whole. You don't take creative liberties with established characters in the EIGHT FILM in a series. Surprise us but organically not in some wtf ways. How is Rey so powerful? Who are her parents? Who and what is Snoke? Where did he come from? What about the Knights of Ren? Why has Luke suddenly become a completely different character? Nah none of this apparently matters anymore. Finn also gets completed shafted in this film as does Captain Phasma. At the same time they cram in even more new characters while OT characters and even characters from The Force Awakens get thrown to the sideline. Hopefully JJ can fix this with Episode IX because although Episode VII The Force Awakens was safe it at least worked within the larger context of the saga.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The enormous gulf between writer/director JJ Abrams for the Force Awakens and Rian Johnson for The Last Jedi is painfully obvious - as a Star Wars movie this fails on almost every level. The Last Jedi doesn't understand the source material, ignores many of the plot threads from its predecessor, misuses and disposes of major characters, is brimming with internal inconsistencies and tries to use cheap laughs to cover for its total lack of story structure.… Expand

Many seasoned fans like me absolutely detest this movie, but not because it "takes bold risks" and "wants to be different," as if we're too immature and selfish to accept "change." Just stop using those weak straw men arguments.

We all know there are thoughtful, clever ways to make a unique and beloved movie by building upon an established universe and its characters. While The Empire Strikes Back succeeds in this -- being a completely different movie in tone and plot than A New Hope -- The Last Jedi strives to trash opportunities, insult fans, destroy legacies, and waste screen time, especially with respect to Kylo, Rey, Snoke, Luke, and Leia. Why? If you thought prequel elements like a 50's diner, fart jokes, midichlorians, Jar Jar, baby Boba Fett, space taxes, and "Noooo!" ruined Star Wars, then be prepared for numerous shocking and/or cringe-worthy surprises: The Last Jedi literally begins with a space-faring prank call, a bit that could have passed for a Verizon Super Bowl half-time commercial. Wow, how...creative! There is also a nauseating scene involving milking a green alien teat into a sports bottle. Again, why? Would post-divorce George Lucas even have the stones to storyboard an alien nipple? There is much more crap to say about The Last Jedi, but it was very difficult to pay attention after I wanted to walk out of the theater with my pretzel bites within the first hour. The wagon-train plot and its "epic casino mount" side-quest are boring, illogical, and unfulfilling. Most characters don't make any sense. For example, BB8 goes full-on Titanfall to save some idiots, and he becomes an actual weaponized coin bank! (I wish he'd spit some refunds back to the audience.) I think the worst thing about this movie is that it gleefully destroys Star Wars and its legacy -- things that make the movies amazing, memorable, and timeless. It treats viewers, young and old, like tools who need to be lectured or pitched a shady sale. Remember, kids: "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to." The mild twists, forced humor, and unexpected character deviations just aren't worth the costs to the culture. It'll still sell some sympathy toys, though...maybe some green alien milk.

Compared with the Disney safety squad who produced The Force Awakens, it seems like The Last Jedi was created in a pretentious vacuum of the most eccentric yes-men (or yes-women) with TNT-fueled chainsaws. Seriously, is this The Hateful Eight or Episode VIII? Why would film makers -- in the midst of a new, successful franchise -- flee from the potential of solved mysteries and blossoming intrigue developed by its predecessor? Why excitingly tease the audience (most of which were willing to forgive The Force Awakens for its flaws) but then crush their hopes, not even acknowledging the many abandoned questions? How far does the line have to move until Star Wars is just another Marvel or DC movie and the force becomes a slapstick mutant superpower?

Yes, there are many questions and dirty deeds. I'm too shocked to list them all. I've realized this whole Disney Star Wars thing is not only baffling but it's bordering on treacherous. So, I'd like to protect my good memories and watch the old movies, which are far better than this travesty. Disney has lost a life-long fan; I will not be investing any more time, energy, or money in any new Star Wars movies. That is a promise.… Expand

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

Second act of a very not-inspired trilogy, which relies more on nostalgia than the idea of creating something new. A movie you watch because is part of a famous saga, but if it was a standalone product.. this would have been (rightfully) trashed.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers.....



Who was Snoke? Why did he die in the middle of a speech about how what was about to happen could never happen? Who was the man on the Island pretending to be Luke Skywalker? How can Snoke bend time and space with the force, to allow Rey and Kylo Ren to speak, but die so easily? Why didn't Snoke **** slap Fake Luke Skywalker into the sea with his mind, given that he must know where Fake Luke Skywalker is at this point, and can attack people by telepathy remotely? How come Princess Leya can survive a hard vacuum, and fly in space? Why did the bombs fall on the dreadnought even though there was no planet to create the gravity? Why is the Dark-side of the force represented by a dodgy mirror in a blowhole cave? Why did Fake Luke Skywalker do such a bad job of pretending to be Real Luke Skywalker? Does Fake Luke Skywalker not know that Real Luke Skywalker is a hero and would never set out to kill Kylo Ren, his nephew? Why did Fake Luke Skywalker force hologram himself into a secret rebel mountain fortress to lightsaber duel Kylo Ren, thus avoid being killed, only to die of exhaustion? When the First Order were chasing the rebel fleet at slower than light speeds, why didn't they send 10,000 tie fighters after the rebels rather than slowly following them in their main ships? Why didn't Leia Poppins just blast a hole out of the mountain to leave by? Why didn't they auto-pilot the rebel ships they were going to loose at light-speed into the massive enemy ships, given that they flew the last one in manually and wiped out half the FO fleet? Why did Fasma just show up and then die? Who the hell was Fasma? Why aren't all storm troopers in armour like hers? Why did Fasma specifically find the longest method of killing her captives possible? How come Snoke has the galaxy's largest space ship? Why didn't the vice admiral tell anyone what her plan was, but instead appear to lead everyone to their deaths, and then act surprised when someone mutinied to try and do something. Where were the Knights of Ren? Why have they made Rey "force God" (the dark-side of the force shows her that she is the embodiment of the Light side of the force)? Why did Luke Skywalker travel to the first Jedi Temple in order to be replaced by Fake Luke Skywalker who jokes about never having read the half a dozen books in the temple because meh? Why was Fake Luke Skywalker surprised that people turned up to elicit the help or Real Luke Skywalker, given that Real Luke Skywalker left a cryptic map to the planet with the 'rebels'? Why are the rebels/resistance called the rebels/resistance, given that the First Order are the remnants of the Empire; surely the rebels are just the Navy/Army of the legitimate government? If not then what are the actual legitimate governments doing about the first Order? How come the Force ghost of Yoda has the power of Thor for no reason, and uses it to destroy the first Jedi Temple?

In no particular order those were some of the many questions the film left me with. Visually nice, good special effects, a couple of half decent fight scenes, OK music. Worthless plot, stupid characters. Luke Skywalker was a completely different character, Leia has sporadic super powers, Snoke gets cut in half comically, and Admiral Aqbar died. Oh and all of the white men are 'toxic masculine' figures who are bumbling idiots who need to shut the **** up and get out of the way and let Women (who are superior) do the job. Don't bother with Disney Star wars any more, its a trap for the nostalgic.… Expand

Many character decisions are utterly baffling or groan-worthy, and one even provides a new Worst Line in the Saga - yes, below even not liking sand.

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

Two films deep into the trilogy, the film is yet to establish a single new character that has any similar impact as that in the last two sagas. Those characters that were promised to play big roles in the last instalment were discarded in the most unsatisfying manner. It still relies on the OT characters for emotional impact, while at the same time stomps all over what happened in the OT. With some spectacular set pieces and amazing cinematography in places, those who were not that invested in Star Wars previously may find it an enjoyable ride. But a portion of Star Wars fans would find themselves in the same position as Mark Hamill when he first read the script: 'fundamentally disagreeing'.… Expand

The conflict, pain and suffering never felt real. So many things wrong with this film and it could have been salvaged a little by simply making Luke do something truly bad ass. I left feeling empty and unexcited for episode IX, JJ Abrams has a tall task ahead of him to take this steaming pile that Rian Johnson left him. There needs to be a new villain introduced in Episode IX 100% more bad ass, feared and scarier than what Kylo Ren is. So bad. Critics raving about this movie are idiots.… Expand

However, what this story can't make up for is the terrible story, and terrible character development. Fans want a space opera, not a popcorn action flick. With what started off as a great beginning to a new saga in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi goes on a completely different tangent. The new characters we met in the previous episode are completely overshadowed by another bevy of extras who take up way too much screen time. We wanted backstories to already existing characters, and we got very little. Rian's direction regarding Luke Skywalker was also terrible. He's a completely different person from who we all came to love, and those changes to Luke's character are not well explained.

It's like these writers and director have completely missed what fans love about the Star Wars universe and related movies. They decided to write their own fanfiction rather than continue a good story. This movie had some really good parts, but it also had a lot of cringey, terrible parts.… Expand

You could skip this Steampunk-Anime-Star Wars movie and miss nothing. Star Wars seems to be creeping into comicbook super hero franchise territory. I don't see all of those anymore, and if I do get tricked into one and dont like it, well then I don't go to see that film multiple times. Because thats what i enjoy, a film that makes me feel good, interested,or anything, something. I wont be seeing Last Jedi again. My least favorite Star Wars movie. The comedy worked, but was just the same joke the entire film done over-and-over. Nothing resonated very well for me, just a total disconnect. All that firepower and tech and I feel like no characters, plot, or anything at all moved forward, nor looked back well enough, no added mythos, no questions answered. A meme gif reel of a film. Saw on IMAX RPX, but the cinematography was disappointing, even if it was purposefully vintage. Adam driver was apt with a poor script. Finn is screaming to be better written, Boyega could give so much more. Leia could be added to a blog about another potential hidden sith lord in the star wars cinematic universe. So many evil Jar Jars in Last Jedi if you look at these characters decision making. I felt that the ending was like watching a tv show that I decide half way was a poor choice and I just shut if off, click, over, so what. The movie should have ended directly after Lukes reaction to being handed the lightsaber from Rey. Luke, atleast, knew wtf was going on here. Yoga-Luke phoning in his wisdom. I had high demands, but still, least favorite, which is a long list at this point, that will never stop growing. The origin of blue-milk is not the fan service I was looking for. Animals are cuddly and our friends, thanks Walt Disney. We know.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't hide the fact that I hate Disney and what they've done to Star Wars. With Episode 7 and Rogue One they sucked all the life and heart out of the franchise and drained any excitement I had for future installments. But despite that, I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. And that was the saddest part of it all. Underneath all the filth, there is a great movie in the Last Jedi, but everything leading up to the movie killed any chance for this movie.
The film is visually stunning, with beautiful environments and brilliant set-pieces. It looked and sounded like Star Wars, but it didn't feel like Star Wars.

For me, the only two new characters worth caring about in this trilogy are Rey and Kylo Ren, and fortunately, their relationship is the strongest part of the story. Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley have chemistry together that no one in the cast can come close to. Scenes with them are indeed heartfelt and sincere and I genuinely want them to be together, whether they are family or soulfates. And the fight with the Royal Guard gave me goosebumps, bringing back memories of Jacen and Jaina Solo battling members of the Sith Order in the Jedi Academy series.
And one final positive goes to the final scene with Luke. While Luke's death was something that angered me to no end, his sendoff was near-perfect. From the binary Sunset to the music, it was respectful farewell to such an icon, which is more than I can say for Han Solo's death in Episode 7.

However, that's where the positives end. The plot is flat out bad. It's just the Empire Strikes Back in reverse where the Rebels flee to the base rather than from the base, with bits of Return of the Jedi for good measure.
While Kylo Ren and Rey are compelling when they're together, when they're apart, they don't have much to offer. Without Kylo Ren, Rey is just a bland Mary Sue, while without Rey, Kylo Ren is just a winy little **** that makes Hayden Christensen's portrayal of Anakin seem Oscar worthy. And the rest of the cast are beyond boring. Finn and Rose's story is completely unnecessary and is just there to fill Disney's political quota of animal abuse (something that is completely out of place in a Star Wars movie). While all the political drama in the copycats for both the Empire and Rebellion carry so little weight, they might as well flout. But the biggest offense of the Last Jedi, is how meaningless everything feels by the end. The biggest example being Snoke, who is killed by Kylo Ren with no fanfare or mind-blowing reveal, making all of the theorizing about Snoke completely pointless. In addition, we still don't know who Rey's parents are, and considering how much of a big deal they are making of it, she now has to be a Skywalker or a Solo. Otherwise, Disney will straight up be admitting that they don't care about the story, only the money. In 2015, Episode 7 released, and I gave into the hype, because I just love Star Wars so much. But after watching it again, the movie got worse and worse. Star Wars has almost become an addiction for me. I keep anticipating what the future holds for the franchise only to be disappointed. Episode 7 is a bad movie. Episode 8 on the other hand, is disappointing. I want Star Wars to be great, but JJ Abrams booked Rian Johnson into a corner, which has caused irreversible damage to this new trilogy. And with countless upcoming spinoff movies coming up, the fatigue is starting to really get to me.
The worst part, this all could have been avoided. If the Expanded Universe had remained as the sole canon, and Kathleen Kennedy was able to keep her ego in check by allowing George Lucas to be a part of the creative process, this whole next chapter of Star Wars could have turned out so much better. But we'll never know for sure. My suggestion. Keep your expectation low, or just don't see this movie in theater. If you really want to see this, wait until it's at your local redbox. Much like EA, Disney only speaks with what's in your wallet. If you want Star Wars to return to its former glory, speak their language. I will always love the original trilogy along with the prequels and all the EU that filled all the gaps before, between, and after. But I just can't accept what Disney is doing with the saga as MY canon. I'm not being a sexist, a racist, or just a Disney hater. I just want a good Star Wars movie, and this is not one.
We're not the manbabies Disney. You are. You say failure is the greatest teacher, then explain to me why you can't accept your own failure.… Expand

To begin this review I will first off say that I did not hate the movie, there are some aspects I found enjoyable but this movie overall is a mixed bag. Researching some of the aspects behind the scenes are beginning to make more sense. The Good
A handful of shots are incredible and iconic in their look.
The Rey and Kylo dynamic becomes intimately stronger.

The Bad
Charaters and characterization are completely disregarded.
Lackluster anticlimactic ending.
The entire film is inconsequential, ultimately serving little purpose in the overarching story. (Mind you thats with the death of 5+ substantial characters.)
Messy writing with plot holes throughout. Beyond those bullet points I can say this is a very mixed movie that “is not going to go the way you think” but let us examine why that is. Currently the climate towards any SW fan saying they didn’t love this movie seems to be that expectations are unattainably high, or that the film didn’t unfold the way you would have preferred and similar. Personally I find that largely inaccurate, my dislike of this film has nothing to do with the movie not being what I wanted it to be though the film seems to be disappointing to many. Rain Johnson takes existing character development and essentially throws it out and in many cases leaving confused characterizations to remain. Many characters feel more like a Spaceballs counterpart than anything. Humor is at a Prequel level of childish and forced. Dialogue is mostly poor sans a few good moments and the flow of the movie is all over the place. I like practically everybody didn’t like the Casino scene whatsoever and could have done without Finn, Rose and DJ even being in this movie. Luke is inconsistent and changes his demeanor abruptly but ultimately Luke serves no purpose in this film other than stalling Kylo. Really this film is largely a waste of time, I’ve seen it twice and returned tickets to see it any further, it just doesn’t give you any real substance other than the Kylo Rey dynamic. Rain Johnson wanted to make a Space Samurai movie and that he has done in style. Reports are than Johnson wouldn’t agree to do this film unless he could throw out Lawrence Kasdans draft and do his own thing. This was a major mistake on Lucasfilms part. The original trilogy worked so well with 3 directors because the story was all coming from the same source, same with Harry Potter, and ALL other movie franchises. This movie is ultimately a misstep that I have no doubt will become a financial and receptive disaster. Rian Johnson your overly cockiness and ego got the best of you.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A sequel to the 2 hour-long teaser TFA, TLJ was an outcome of the producers who only have cliche smashing in their mind. A lot of plot progressions and subplots were just there for the sake of advancing the plot. Many characters and scenes were wasted to advance this plot. Yet the plot somewhat ends up being hypocritical and not creative, rather than being entertaining. On one side, we have characters who are portrayed as bumbling, war-crazed idiots. On the other side, there are characters who oppose the 'traditional resistance movement' because it perpetuate hate, etc. Yet these same characters perform hyperspace kamikaze on the enemies, perpetuating hate. What is the message? First Order's atrocities were well-portrayed on the first movie and there was a reason, albeit being stale and unoriginal, for resistance. Now, there is some random side-character who preaches this 'both sides are dumb puppets to the weapons industry, get out of war,' 80's hippie philosophy. Yet at the end, our characters again promises to fight for tomorrow to undo the First Order. Again, what is the message? A lot of twists and cliche breaking were done for the sake of just having such. If the producers wanted to create something new and revolutionary, that is not a Star Wars, they should have done so by not abusing the franchise name and nostalgia value of the IP. When you were raking gold with this IP and promptly attempt to create this edgy, 'modern' twists on the IP through a lot of plot-holes and conflicting messages, don't expect the audience to take it so kindly. At the end of the movie, when almost all the old casts are wiped away, we have these bland characters with near to none character development over two new movies. We have a main antagonist who is still this man-child who has anger-management issue and teenage emo angst. I am not sure what should I be expecting for the last movie. What is the message and what am I supposed to expect out of all this?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Created MC account just so I could vote "HORRIBLE" movie

Luke is portrayed as a coward through the whole movie and is reluctant and never actually showed up to fight Kylo and this is weak writing. How can that become a cause by fighting via virtual reality..lol? It's better if Luke actually showed up, kicked some First Order butt and then became a sacrifice, ergo uniting everyone and doing the right thing. Man, that would have been such a powerful scene and all could be forgiven (maybe).

Comedy scenes included are absurd (comedy is good to have but not this way) and take away the sense of urgency and importance of the fight too much, characters are shallow and cliche, enough plot holes to fill every hole on a golf course, and severe deus ex machina (the Force mostly) used for convenience and lazy/bad writing.

Men in this movie are portrayed as idiots or macho. Women are not well represented or respected either and does them a disservice. The people who funded (Disney), wrote and directed this movie must have no morality or clue, therefore the movie had none. I was giving it a 6/10 (probably from shock) but more I dwell on these things, it's more like a 1/10. Bad movie but terrible Star Wars.… Expand

Just watch Rogue One again. On the bright side, it's a politically correct experience, not-too-heavy on the dialogue, with teenage romance throughout - a multicultural love triangle even. I imagine the recipe for such "brilliance" was to pack a room with progressive liberals and focus-group them until death do us part. This resulted in a final product empowering all the right groups (think Hillary and Angela Merkel as rebel commanders) and dishing out justice to dumb-ass, testosterone-filled dirt bags (Luke Skywalker included). Me? I should've watched Thor Ragnarok for the fifth time instead.… Expand

Awkward, embarrassing comedy, plot holes, characters who don’t evolve in any direction… things as basic as pace or continuity are broken. It feels more like a super high budget amateur fanfiction, a bunch of action set pieces put together with no sense of story or even logic. TLJ manage to waste the Force Awakens and original trilogy legacy alike, leaving you emotionless and disappointed. Is not only a bad STAR WARS movie, it’s an awfully bad movie. Kind of fishy how all the critics are praising this: Disney tentacles are long indeed!

The good? Well, visually stunning at times. The acting in general is far superior to TFA. Actors do a good job with the poor material they’ve been given to work with.

Other than that, just boring.… Expand

The Star Wars we grew up with had so many systems, civilisations, ways of life and rich characters to love. The Last Jedi does not do any of this.

Instead, what Disney is doing with the series is replacing the world-building with endless montages of cheap climaxes. Mind you that they are fun to watch at first, but they leave you empty and bitter afterwards because they were just cheap thrills that actually destroy the world Star Wars is built upon. The Last Jedi resembles more of a cheesy soap opera than the science fiction epic that was the pre-Disney Star Wars. That is why fans absolutely hate this movie and what Disney is doing with the Star Wars franchise.… Expand

If this had been a new series I'd be more forgiving, but since they are trying to pass this tripe off as STAR WARS I have no choice but to call it out for being the cheap, phony, cynical cash-in it clearly is.

I was truly trying to love the movie as I was watching it, I wanted to like it, I really did.

It seemed like too many stories were trying to be told at once, and left a hot mess of a movie. Some of the best parts and reveals of the movie were snuffed out by over saturation of a side story with minor characters, or unnecessary plot twists that lead to more unnecessary plot twists. They really let us down on some of the reveals and some characters were gravely disrespected. Among it all there's a visible effort to tell a great story, with terrible, awful, over saturated execution. It really feels like additional setup for the last movie, Episode IX, instead of a standalone triumph like every other Star Wars film.

With great trailers made by a marketing team who clearly isn't paid enough, The Last Jedi promoted itself as being the next Empire Strikes Back. Yet we managed to get something more sloppy than Attack of the Clones, with uneven pacing, incomplete arcs, and an all-round lack of appreciation for continuity or the force itself. While the Froce awakens wasn't a great film it is not doubt to me a serviceable entry, sure most of the plot had been duplicated from A New Hope, but it built foundations which would serve as the bed-rock for episode 8 & 9 to carry on from. Those foundations are now gone. Now one can only wonder how JJ Abrahams will salvage the saga to create a fitting conclusion for a trilogy that still is still yet to prove or find what it wants to be.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The scenario for this movie is a pure trainwreck, filled with so many plotholes. All the main characters are doing stupid things one after another. There is no tension and adversity, since most of the problems the characters face is because they were too stupid to think 5minutes before acting. Like Finn and Rey parking their ship right in front of the big casino. What were they expecting, that no one would see it ? Rey going inside a dark side nexus to ask it who were her parents ? What kind of moron would ask that kind of question in that place ???

As for the plotholes, what about the Maz communication ? If they can send a long-range communication to Maz, why can't they send one to ask for reinforcements ? Why do they have to wait until they're on the rebel base ? How can Maz know what the cracker will wear that day ? No answers, those plots are just a**pulls.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rian Johnson directed the worst Star Wars movie, for me.

I saw it again tonight. When the movie was over still I felt terrible in the theater.

- First of all, the opening. Poe Dameron vs The First Order ships was completely bad writing. As Poe Dameron destroyed the weapons one by one, we saw General Hux watching the events from the his window. And only three Tie-Fighter chases him. Maybe the others watched like a movie.

- The First Order and Resistance's hole chase is completely bad writing, again. We've seen the Star Destroyers moves fast like other ships before. There are dozens of Star Destroyers on the same screen in TLJ and none of them catch the ship.

- While chasing, they said the resistance ship had 13 hours of fuel left. And... At the same time Rey staying two days in the island. So, where is that writers mind?

- The whole Casino scene is destroyes the movie, no doubt. The big pile of the writers. The scene on horseback also horrible, this film is not some Narnia. It's Star Wars.

- Rose... This girl was the worst character of Star Wars, for me. Even the Jar Jar Binks was not so empty and unnecessary, for me.

- Finn is my second favorite in the Force Awakens. For the first time they gave Stormtrooper a meaning. In this film... Every scene Finn with Rose has is bad.

- Leia flying in space... Is the worst scene of Star Wars history. There is not even a word to say.

- Snoke. I have no problem with Snoke's death. Cause, he was cheap copy of the Emperor. They didn't even write a backstory. But, they ruined that Red Room fight. The set and cinematography of this scene was awesome. But again, that writing are bad.

- Rey's Jedi Fight training is only 1. She knows only a few fighting moves. She used the Lightsaber only twice. First of all against Kylo in the Force Awakens. Then against Luke in The Last Jedi. And after all, she can easily beat The Elite Praetorian Guard's of the Snoke. That was one of the most worst and absurd Star Wars fights.

- Daisy Ridley is absolutely fit for Rey role, no doubt. I don't care about Rey's family, does not have to be special or a chosen thing. But I do not accept such a cheap characterization. This character does not have to know everything about Force so easily. This was one of JJ.Abrams's mistakes and I thought it would be fixed in the second movie. And... They more ruined.

- And the biggest thing that mads me, what throws the film in the big hole. They absolutely ruined Luke Skywalker. I will never accept that. He didn't even have his own solo lightsaber fight scene. They've ruined his role with force projection thing. They wrote a absolutely bad scenario that never fits his characterization. Even Mark Hamill suffered while reading. And the scene where he died. Saddest thing ever for a legendary character.

All this and more is making this movie a worst Star Wars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm just disappointed. I really don't want to, but I can't really understand where all the great critics from the press and some of my friends come from. Episode 7 was great in my opinion.
Of course, it copied episode 4 in many moments and some scenes didn't really make sense, but that was ok for me, because it made you feel nostalgic.
I just had a good feeling when I came out of the theatre.

But now to Episode 8:

Leia's "coming back from death" scene was actually the **** moment in any movie I've seen. It would have been ok to me, if she just died (RIP Carry Fisher). I mean you could not know before, that the actor will die, but the role itself didn't have any relevance in the story anymore. The movie was always about "let the past die", so why Leia cannot?

The movie was too long. The whole story around Kantobyte was just irrelevant for the plot and also quite ****. I mean they got arrested for wrong parking... WRONG PARKING!?!?!?! Really Disney??? WTF is wrong with you?!? Some criticism on society isn't bad... ok... but I felt pretty bored about this action strand.
Furthermore, I couldn't have felt more indifferently about Rose. Everything episode 7 just built up, is now **** up!
Snoke, who came out of nowhere, able to teach the "mighty" Kylo Ren and strong enough to built up the first order...dead now.
Nobody knows who he is and where he's coming from. Palpatin must have heard of him... he just had to. You could have write a awesome background story of his character, but Disney seemed to have no ideas, so they just said:" ok, let him die,cause we aren't creative today!"
And for everyone who's saying:"They will make a movie just about snoke maybe!" It won't change anything! An interesting and mysterious character died in a ridiculous way.

The whole scene about Rey trying to convert Kylo... I felt like I sat in Episode 6. Just the same old thing. What really worked in episode 7 in my opinion, just feels uninspired now.

Luke Skywalker, most unsympathetic character of the year!
Ok, we understand, you hate yourself, but why you have to pity yourself for 2 f*cking hours???
Everyone just wanted to watch epic practicing scenes. I saw actually one wich made me feel disappointed.
But I have to say: The last fight against Kylo was damn awesome and for everybody who's crying that he died... The movie is called:"The Last Jedi!"

The Humor just killed it all!
I liked it in episode 7, but those cute BB8 moments in episode 7, just came all 3 minutes.
F*CK PORGS! Nobody liked Jar Jar, so why are you doing something even 1000 times more stupidly???
Just for making merch? Shame on you!


I mean, of course there have been scenes I even liked, but the decisions about the story, how they threw away interesting characters like Phasma and Snoke and the humor just disappointed me. All in all, Im not a big fan of the movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I still can't believe that the movie ended up being like this. This is just a disgrace to the Star Wars series.

Regarding main characters:

Rey is just a rehash of previously shown jedi, she has no development whatsoever. It was even worse than in Episode 7 with her force and jedi combat skills appearing out of nowhere, she is able to stay on par with Kylo Ren in his normal state after 3 (!!!) days of training.

Luke was turned into a complete moron and weakling, the plot was so badly written that they had to bring up Yoda out of nowhere to add some motivation for Luke's actions.

Snoke turned out to be...a plot device, nothing more.

Kylo Ren was exactly the same as in the 7th movie, nothing new.

Finn and Rose Fantastic Beasts-style adventure was a cringefest, it added absolutely NOTHING to the story. Trying to make drama out of Rose’ retarded actions at the end of the film was absolutely disgusting, the same can be said about classic self-sacrificial attempt out of nowhere by Finn (motivation problems?).

On top of that, half of the cast was turned into clowns with classic Disney humor. Seemed like they tried to apply MCU formula to SW universe.

Regarding everything else:

From the beginning to the end, the movie is a complete mess. Too many coincidences, too many illogical actions by the characters, abnormally high amount of explosions and cringey moments, which are supposed to be funny. None of the answers from the part 7 were answered, they were just outright ignored. The only lightsaber combat scene is devoid of any emotions or even decent choreography and looks like an overhyped stage performance. They could’ve done so much with all the material they had, but they’ve decided not to.

Part 8 shares nothing in common with either the original trilogy or even the prequels. Aspects of the universe, in which these movies exceled, are absent here altogether. However, there is nothing to compensate for that. The movie is a massive letdown, a generic blockbuster. This is by no means a Star Wars movie.… Expand

Es como si Starwas se mezclara con Guardianas de la Galaxia, lo que produce confusión y hace muy ridículas muchas partes. Disney ha llevado el film a una exposición de múltiples personajes y naves para vender. (Spoilers de aquí en adelante) La fuerza y lo que la fuerza puede ser sigue distorsionada y no pretende ser canónica. La trama NO responde ninguna de las preguntas sobre Rey, ni sobre Snoke, ni sobre la fuerza como energía en este nuevo escenario, o el Rol político del Nuevo Orden. Incluso la aparición de Yoda es tonta e innecesaria!!. Luke está distorsionado como personaje (lo dijo Mark Hamill en entrevistas) aquí hay un buena interpretación pero el problema esta en la trama. Los agujeros en la trama son EVIDENTES, suenan a recortes de montaje, pero aun así, no están a la altura de lo que yo espero de un film como este. puntos a su favor es que debe ser el episodio más bello, visualmente hablando, de toda la saga... Pero la capacidad del director no logra dar en el tono para sacar adelante un guión débil como este.
Lo único correcto para mi es el título "El último Jedi" ya que es el último que veré en el cine, Disney mató la franquicia, el resto de los episodios por venir los veré en el TV cable. La esencia de Starwars ha muerto.… Expand

Something leads me to believe that critics might have been paid off. That or they went into the movie thinking "I like when things go boom, it would be cool if they made Star Wars like Transformers and had big explosions and pretty lights"Something leads me to believe that critics might have been paid off. That or they went into the movie thinking "I like when things go boom, it would be cool if they made Star Wars like Transformers and had big explosions and pretty lights" the plot was horrible. No questions were answered from the last movie. So many new questions came to mind. Complete waste of Mark Hamill. To be honest I enjoyed The Phantom Menace more than this movie. Can't believe after watching this movie I miss George Lucas as a story teller/ director... that should tell you how bad this movie is.… Expand

Whomever green lighted this incoherence disaster, should be fired. Twice. The bloody prequel trilogy has more Star Wars magic than this mess. But hey, gotta sell those cute animals right. Star Wars has become a parody on itself.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, it's still better than any film in the prequel trilogy, but not by much and that isn't exactly high praise. The humour is too much, too often and too forced. It just isn't fitting in a Star wars film. The plot is shallow and leaves you wondering what was the point in all of those hints in The Force awakens, were they just leading us down the garden path to cash in on that sweet sweet nostalgia? Classic characters are killed off seemingly for no reason and new characters are killed off leaving you thinking, what was the point in episode 7? Kylo Ren flip-flops more than a fish out of water, making him possibly the least likeable character since Hayden Christensen played Anakin. The final result is a film that spends 60% of it's time on a side quest that would have been totally avoided if the rebellion leader had just said 'here's the plan' and another 30% on pretty poor character development. Leaving the fans with about 10% of the film which is actually worth watching. The reality is that if this is a sign of what's to come for Star Wars then the franchise is in serious trouble. Thanks Disney /s.… Expand
