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

The worst SW movie (and that´s quite an achievement since an abomination like the Phantom Menace exists). But it could be argued that this is not really a real SW movie anymore, it´s only on the name. Like other people wrote before me, itThe worst SW movie (and that´s quite an achievement since an abomination like the Phantom Menace exists). But it could be argued that this is not really a real SW movie anymore, it´s only on the name. Like other people wrote before me, it looks nice (hence the 1 star) but it's boring and way too often illogical/nonsensical. On a side note, it includes quite a lot of subliminal (and at times direct) political, economical and sexist propaganda. This in my opinion does not belong in a good fantasy film supposedly intended to entertain people from all genders, races and political orientations. Certainly it was never part of the SW universe before. But that´s not the worst part. There are many more other deviations in this movie from the SW that we all know and love: changes in old well stablished character personalities, in how spaceships work, in how the Force works, and a long etcetera. The director actually said he was doing everything he could to try to break the SW traditions and our expectations. He did achieve his goal unfortunately, and thus the film lacks any heart that makes a SW film. Why would Disney spend billions buying an incredibly loved and successful franchise and then allow a single producer or a single director to INTENTIONALLY break with the traditions and our expectations of such a valuable intellectual property? We loved it as it was (that´s why they had to pay so much money for it in the first place!) so why the obsession with changing it so much? Don´t waste your time with this trash. Metascore 85. User score: 4.4. That says it all.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is too much wrong with this movie. It makes impression that it's creators just hate Star Wars and want to f*** with fans.
* Flying Leia
* What the did to Snoke, teasing the whole movie before
* Rei's parents, nothing, teasing the whole movie before, also they are going to change it in the next movie. May be.
* Unnecesary plot about casino planet.
* Forcing Kelly kiss at the end with no context
* The worst Luke ever, even the Hamill hates him. And the stupidest death.
* Overpowered Rei with no reason (that stone scene).

And many many more plot holes.… 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

A son is about to kill its mother. It already killed his father a couple of years earlier, so he hesitates. He is not alone, and the companions decide to seize the opportunity during his pause... and take the shot. The mother, and the rest ofA son is about to kill its mother. It already killed his father a couple of years earlier, so he hesitates. He is not alone, and the companions decide to seize the opportunity during his pause... and take the shot. The mother, and the rest of the people that was with her, get sucked up by the cold vacuum of space. All seems lost. But then, the mother, the leader of the resistance opens her eyes, extends its hand to the ship, and flies towards it! It's a miracle!

A soldier that has doubts about his loyalty to his commrades and their believes, decides to sacrife himself to buy them a little more time. He is about to get killed, proving everyone (even the audience) that they were wrong, and he is saved by someone, who prefers to take the shot instead of him. It's a miracle!

The resistance is trapped in a cave. There is no escape, as the tunnel just collapsed behind rubble, and the enemy will get them before they can get out. They need more time to clear the rubble. All hope is lost. But wait. Someone appears. A hero of legends! But he was in another planet, in another solar system! He confronts everyone, buying them the time they need! It's a miracle! Oh no! He was a ghost of some kind! We don't have enough time to clear the tunnel! They are coming for us! Wait. The rocks are moving! Are they... flying? It's Rey! She saved us! When did she become so powerful with the force? It doesn't matter. It's another freaking miracle.

Oh no! We were jailed! "I can get you out, and by the way I am a hacker of sorts". Oh no! They are destroying the little escape pods! Our post-leader just went light speed kamikaze and destroyed their fleet (even tough there is no reference it could work that way)! Oh no! Snoke is going to kill us! He didn'trealize that someone is force moving the lightsaber, until it's too late... and he dies.

Do you see the pattern here? In this movie miracles move the plot forward. Not the consequence of actions by the characters. At the end, the good guys are just lucky because someone up there ("up where?" you may ask in space) cheers for some, doesn't care for others, and is playing god. No character development, the set where the movie takes place seems more like an excuse, the bad guys are bad for the sake of being bad.

Oh no! They are making another one!… Expand

Honestly it starts off on a bad foot and just gets worse from there. Between poorly forced jokes that cover a veiled attempt to complete scenes and a lack of real substance in an exchange for 'twists' that achieve very little throughout the movie it simply seems to build to a point but chooses to fizzle poorly instead of creating opportunities for characters to truly grow and for the story to truly progress (whatever that might entail). But there is some good scenery every now and then within the three scenes in the movie I actually enjoy. Together those scenes all last around 10 minutes and I don't have much interest in the rest of the movie.… Expand

Thanks for completely butchering Luke Skywalker and making a great hero into a child murderer. F U. Thanks for injecting your SJW agenda into a world that was once an escape from the drudgery of politics. Thanks for refusing to draw upon the wealth of stories from the Expanded Universe and instead removing it from canon, rendering 30 years of passionate work from authors and fans meaningless. Remember Kyle Katarn, Jacen Solo, Mara Jade, Kyp Durron?! None of them ever existed now. Yuuzhan Vong invasion? Never happened. What did we get in exchange? Some freaking Mary Sue? To hell with you, Disney. You have RUINED my childhood. I LOVED Star Wars. I LOVED the Expanded Universe. You had a responsibility to the fans who grew up with this franchise. In the words of Adam Sandler, "YOU BLEW IT!"

BTW, the movie is terrible, and full of plotholes, shallow character development, and cliches. These criticisms have been done to death elsewhere, so I will not repeat them here.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Had high expectations after Rogue One, thought the story line was going to be about Luke Skywalker turning to the dark side after becoming bitter about the loss of Leya. Instead we get a random space race with half the film focused on character who escape - then rejoin the escaping fleet?! This doesn't even make sense. Add to that a purple haird ultra feminist and space kamikaze at the speed of light and that's the film. Oh...and Luke vanishes into thin air at the end randomly. Complete garbage.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People criticize Luke a lot by drinking green milk from that alien's **** but i assure you that this is nothing compared to the real mistakes this movie has.

- Bombs falling in space without gravity
- Poe alone destroying that giant ship
- That embarrassing scene of Hux with Snoke
- Leia Flying - All the annoying and messy arc of the casino
- The meaningless plan of Holdo, which seems to have been made just to bellitle Poe
- All that constant Marvel Humor that does not match with Star Wars
- Leia flying
- The Stupid Snoke´s death (worse than Boba Fett'death)
- The ridiculous choreography of the throne room (if you do not believe go review the scene carefully and you will see weapons desappering and the guards dancing)
- The dynamics between Finn and Phasma could be much better
- Leia flying
- Rose saving Finn like What the ****?
- The explanation why Kylo turned to the dark side does not make sense.
- Yoda burning the books, LIKE THE **** NAZIS!
- And of course Leia flying in space, like Palpatine floating on the Star Wars Battlefront II of PS2, at least emperor was doing it on the ground.

Ohh my Luke, what have they done with my luke? WHY? WHYY!!??

I just do not give zero for this movie because i do not want to belittle the work of the people who made the look and the sound, which was almost perfect, and the performance of Adam and Mark is also good.

I left the movie theater so confused, more confused than when i saw forced Fifty Shades of Gray, because of that movie i do not expect much.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was so bad it turned me off to any and all future star wars movies. there is not any one single reason that can be pointed to but several. Rian Johnson has no ability to write or direct anything this big or special to so many fans. He took a beloved franchise and pissed all over not just the previous movies but all the fans. From Leia being able to not only survive in space but fly like Mary Poppins was just wrong. The complete character assassination of Luke was horrible to watch. While i would never condone attacks on actual people the character of Rose Tico was just awful and unneeded. Rian Johnson ignored everything that was set up by The Force Awakens. He wrote his script before The Force Awakens was even completed and did not care about anything that was set up to have a great story going forward. I have no desire to watch anything star wars anymore and that is very sad. I was a huge fan. I bought clothing, toys, movie sets and anything star wars I could find. Now I don't even want people to know that I was a fan.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It destroys SW. It's an inconsistent movie, Finn saying hyperspace is not possible, and 2 minutes later knows all the details of it. The chase is absurd and boring, The First Order shouldn't have any problems sending more fleets just in front of them to cath them, also, they don't have faster ships? any civilian ship can outrun the first order if they don't have that tracker thingy? A dumb thing also, in the OT there's tracking. It's stupid that they only send 4 fighters to fight the Rebel/Resistance(they keep changing the name in the movie), they don't have more fighters in their 20 cruisers? Even in the OT we saw more fighters. Luke character is destroyed. Every plot opened in TFA is eliminated in the most absurd ways...The new SJW admiral behaves like and idiot, not telling anyone the plan for no reason, even when a mutiny takes place(you take Poe and tell him, he's no damm spy, he just destroyed Starkiller Base you moron, also, if there's a spy, the plan wouldn't work anyway). They treat Poe like a reckless idiot, but he actually makes all the good calls, he's demoted for destroying a ship that would've kill them all. They make Husk a joke(where are military leaders like Tarkin?), all the movie is full with stupid jokes in the worst possible timing, every serious situation has a stupid joke to ruin it. Rey is more a Mary Sue than ever, using force powers like nothing, defeating Luke, fighting elite guards after one day training, by herself, against a rock....Also, the worst fight in all the movies, no reason for it(what are the guards doing attacking Kylo? Is not their new boss?), full of mistakes, guards flipping and exposing their backs to the enemy, guards aiming to the air or the weapons instead of attacking the exposed heads of Kylo and Rey, weapons than dissapear, no force powers being used....A joke, and it's the best part of the movie, sadly. Canto Bight just a waste of time, the plot about selling weapons is also absurd, it doesn't make much sense that the Rebels and the First Order got different weapons from the same buyer, also, makes more sense that they create their own weapons, specially the First Order, they have the most advanced weaponary in the galaxy, that should come from their own I+D, no from buyers. Does the buyers sell Death Stars also? TFO can create Death Stars and not fighters? There's nothing to save in this movie but the visuals and acting of some characters, not worth spending more money on SW ever again, or at least until they say this movie never happened and make something coherent at least, I'm not even asking for good anymore.… Expand

While some of the effects were very good,some just weren't such as when the falcon is on crait shooting tie fighters and then flying through the planet.Just look at how masterfully done the kessel run from Solo is in comparison.
There are continuity errors,plot holes and the film has more tonal shifts than Revenge of the sith and from the very beginning it felt bad with it's out of place,space balls humour (the first order are meant to be frightening for god's sake)and awful,corny new characters.

Some of it was well done such as the stuff on the island with Rey and Luke and i thought their performances were good but what the hell have they done to Luke.
JJ Abrams was respectful and very careful about how he made the force awakens but Johnson has made a shoddy mess and taken everything JJ set up and everything that went before and thrown it out the window.… Expand

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

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...

I am not that big SW fan and that is probably the reason I am no going lower in my rating, but I can fully understand why die-hard fans are angry and are voting lower or even go with zeroes.… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a bad movie, but a terrible Star Wars movie. This movie suffers from several problems.

1. The humor. Some of the worst jokes. Star Wars is not a comedy. There are some jokes in George Lucas' movies, but at the heart it's a space drama/epic. The humor in this movie is completely misplaced. There's a "your mom" joke. That is how bad the humor is.

2. The destruction of Luke. Luke is basically crapped on in this film. Luke is a grumpy old man in this film and all of his character development from the original trilogy basically means nothing. He was HOPE, but now he is just a grumpy old man who doesn't care. He gives up and the reasoning doesn't seem convincing enough.

3. Finn and Rose. The chemistry just isn't there and the forced romance is uncalled for. I didn't see it coming at all and they randomly kiss? It was jarring.

4. Breaks the Star Wars universe. The hyperspace jump through the ships breaks the old movies. Why didn't they just hyperspace through the death star? What's the point of hiding the plans in episode 2; what's the point of making a weak point; what's the point if you can just hyperspace through the death star? Weaponizing hyperspace BREAKS space combat in every way.

5. Plot points introduced in episode 7 not followed up on. Rey's parents? No one. Knights of Ren? Not in the movie. Snoke? No one; he's dead. Luke left a map? Yet, in episode 8, he doesnt want to be found?

There are other issues, but these are the main ones. A terrible Star Wars movie.… 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

We still do not know who Rey's parents are after the big fuss from TFA, Snoke turns out to be easily killed and there were many decisions that could've been changed.
For Example, Admiral Ackbar shouldn't have been killed off so cheaply and he should've been the one who did the light speed run not Holdo who means nothing to Star Wars fans. Also, Luke should've fought Kylo Ren with a green not blue lightsaber for continuity's sake! There was no reason for him to have the blue one at all.
And finally, there is Rose. The bit when she stops Finn from "saving those who we love" by flying into the cannon only for her to claim that she is doing just that is just senseless.
I have to admit that it wasn't until I had come out of the cinema when I realized the issues with The Last Jedi. It certainly took a while for it to sink in given the high hopes I had after seeing Rogue One a year later!… Expand

To fix the first of this trilogy they needed to find a way to make the villain threatening, and to give a reason for the main character to be the seemingly best fighter in the universe without any training or experience. Even though she has a natural bond with the force, luke, Annikan and every other Jedi who also had that needed to train for years to get good. What the movie did instead was randomly and easily kill off one of the villains and make the other question his evil ways. Then they made the only legendary character with a chance to be stronger than the main character a huge wimp. Then they made the main character even stronger despite her not getting any training. I wanted a movie about underdogs fighting a war to defeate a powerful evil villain in space. The main character is inexplicable the strongest in the universe and the villain is a huge unthreatening wimp, so there really isn’t even plot or meaningful conflict past a bunch of people whining about their emotions in space. Also strong female lead roles are a good thing in movies, but this goes beyond that to straight up policial propaganda that feels antagonistic towards males. Racial diversity is also definitely a good thing to have in movies, but rather than just having a diverse cast it is presented in a way that feels like a political statement is being shoved down my throat. I just wanted to see powerful, coherent characters fight with laser swords in space. :(… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie made me feel stressed, awkward, and disappointed. The movie is about failure and the characters’ failures are not due to inherent flaws, but because they make stupid decisions. Finn and Rose get caught by security on the casino planet because Finn crashed the ship. It was established in the last movie he was a terrible pilot. Once in prison they decide to trust an obviously untrustworthy guy, and it ruins Holdo’s plan almost making her sacrifice pointless. Poe had them go on the mission in the first place because he was overreacting to Holdo’s refusal to tell him the plan. He mutinies and ruins her plan, yet he is barely reprimanded. This does the opposite of endearing me to their characters.
I thought Luke’s portrayed was great. The explanation for how he came to that state was too vague. Luke and Kylo’s actions in response to this event seem extremely irational, hopefully we get more context in the next movie. I liked both this portrayal and his original heroic one, so I was very dissapointed at what seemed to me to be a half redemption. He saves his sister, but he fails to confront Kylo honestly or bravely. He humiliated him and died spreading an incomplete image of he was. The galaxy doesn’t need hope, it needs the truth. Luke wasn’t perfect, and that is okay. They should know the truth and continue to hope, fight, and struggle regardless. I very much disliked the way the movie portrays these final scenes as positive when I felt they should be bittersweet at best.
Overall the characters I liked from the last film were made to look foolish. They were at their best interacting with each other, but Poe, Finn, and Rey barely speak to eachother the whole movie. Kylo Ren has a chance to be a different kind of villain and chooses to do the whole “rule the entire galaxy thing”. Snoke’s death was genuinely exciting and this ruined it. There are about a dozen other things I could rant about, but I will end on a positive note. The acting is great and this is definitely the most visually stunning Star Wars movie yet.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are many plot holes in the film, but the biggest flaw is this: you can't make a hero's journey without the hero learning anything. Check, for example, Luke's learning curve in the first three films. The hero is encountered with the unknown, he goes into it, slowly but surely he learns, through many trials, what it is to be a jedi.

Now look at the plot structure in the new films (especially in this one): the hero already knows too much of the jedi powers. There's a total disregard to legacy. When the hero walks into a force trial of sorts, she only sees herself. In the previews film, she already knew some secrets of the force with almost no training. Here, the hero gets a free pass into becoming a jedi.

There is also the issue with the ideology that the film wants to set forth, and worst of all: diversity for diversity's sake. No. In a monomyth structure the key is having the heroes do their work, learn something and with that confront the ultimate plot twist before the resolution. Here I see very little of that.… 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. Luke, one of the most beloved characters utter destroyed. The character assassination to the original characters is horrible and done terribly. You also ruined characters with so much potential like Finn, Poe, Ray and Kylo. And the General Holdo menuver, it is arguably the most overpowered weapon in the galaxy, especially since all you need is a ship (that can even be built from scrap), and a hyperdrive. And yet, it seems no one ever thought of this in a galaxy that has had space travel for thousands of years.… Expand

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

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

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

If you don't care, why do you need to complain so much about "the fans"? Why do you have so much trouble accepting that people just didn't like this movie? They aren't "trying to get the score down". They thought it was a terrible movie. There are MANY people that felt that way. You want to make accusations about bots? How about all the "reviews" that gave this 10 and are fake, or vapid one-liners? How about the attempts to puff this score up? Read the reviews. Some people are admittedly giving this a higher score than they normally would because the low scores are "unfair".

Why is it unfair that this is a bad movie and lots of people dislike it? A few people have been rude in criticism but some people have been equally rude in defending the film. The racist, sexist and bigoted attacks on the fans are completely undeserved. The vast majority of complaints against the film are from people that wanted to like it and were disappointed. Would it hurt to listen to those critiques and at least consider them?

I would have given this movie a 2-3 maybe, the first time I saw it. But now that I've had time to let it sink in, I have to give it 0.

There's nothing redeemable here. People say how great the FX are. Yeah, some of them are good but the whole casino planet was terrible. Those animals were some of the most rubbery, fakest looking CGI that I have seen.

The length of the film is unacceptable. It's far too long for the story it tries to tell. And that story is terrible for a myriad of reasons that have been discussed. Almost nothing in the movie makes any sense.

The way to "rescue" someone is by ramming your vehicle at high speed into theirs? No. That is most likely to kill both people.

And the Resistance are not cast in a good light, at all. Their decisions are senseless and stupid. And what if you are not involved and want to leave? You get knocked out with a taser! You want to know the plan? Shut up and do as you're told. Sounds like a fascist new order. Don't ask questions! Obey (or get hit with a taser)! I found myself hoping that they would get wiped out. I don't need "heroes" who treat their "best pilot" as an enemy. They make horrible decisions and take no responsibility.

I didn't have any "fan theories" about this movie. I didn't watch any reviews, insights, etc. before viewing it. I had one expectation: to see an enjoyable movie. This movie was not enjoyable. It was a failure.

For anyone who likes it, that's great. But people already liked "Star Wars". It didn't need to be "fixed" and for the majority of viewers, it was a miss.

This movie really had potential but I feel that it was all wasted. I won't be watching the next one. Time to move on.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to like this movie...I was willing to give TFA a bit of a pass as they were trying to bridge the OT to the ST, there needs to be some intrigue, mystery, etc. And there are some beautifully shot moments in the film. But that's where it ends. The plot makes little to no sense at all in any way whatsoever. Space Gas is the core of the issues here. Somehow the Giant spaceships can't keep up with the rebel ships. But Kylo's fighters can...so why not just send out more fighters? or do you only have 3-5 on the capital ship? The Holdo Maneuver...Looked cool, but so impractical. If that was a real thing, then why just let the rest of your ships just run out of gas and fall to the side? why not just suicide them as well? Why not put a droid in there and have it kamikaze? why not put boosters on giant asteroids and then have droids fly them into the enemies? Luke....oh Luke...The ever present optimist turned into...well, this. They couldn't have ruined Luke's character anymore than they did here. Even Hamill said this isn't how Luke would act but they told him to shut up and color. I don't believe Luke would ever have acted on his thoughts.

Any military leader of any kind would have to disclose their plan of some sort rather than keep it a secret and continue to tell everyone riddles and lines from hallmark cards. Even a 2 second throw away line of "there are imperial spies" would have at least given them some sort of reason for not disclosing the plan all at once. But that's what compartmentalization is for - no one person has all the data except top brass. and last I checked, Commander Poe is only 2 away from admiral and is supposed to be the celebrated hero and best pilot of the resistance (by their own words and lore). but no...he's obviously not trustworthy.

The entire kanto bite scene was unnecessary and silly. screw the shield and stuff, let's rescue the space horses. oh, and we got found out because we parked in the wrong spot? I get what they were trying to say: arms dealers profit off the rebels and imperials the same. War is a business, etc. But it landed with a thud because it was just another punchline. Snoke - no one knows or cares about Snoke cuz he died. Mystery over. he's obviously not important. Big bad over. Finn was easily possibly the most interesting character. He could have talked about the millions of innocent contractors and admin staff just working to make a living for their families. He could have talked about his best friend that died and shook him from his "programming" but instead, he was turned into a punchline/joke. This was just written tying up all the loose ends and wound up ruining the next movie and franchise in general. "Subversion" is just a new buzz word to shield people from failure. This was a multibillion dollar franchise that printed money. Fans were relatively forgiving - look at the PT - it aged well overall with people liking the Clone Wars material. Whatever...I've seen the movie twice and not since it's release week. Meanwhile, I watch episodes 1-6 every year in May. Good job Johnson - you're obviously a master.… Expand

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. No specific spoilers (names/dates/places), but definitely references events in the movie.

In a word: lazy.

The Last Jedi has some beautiful sequences and impressive attention to detail in many areas - I certainly wouldn't say Johnson can't direct a visually wonderful film. Unfortunately, however, these details are betrayed by a stupendously lazy story that seems to entirely revolve around incompetence on both sides.

Most of the problems the First Order and Resistance have could have been resolved by having effective leadership - sure this is something that can and has happened in real life, but watching the two sides bumble around ineffectually is simply not engaging as a viewer. In particular the trope of 'this could have been resolved if you hadn't lied/withheld information' sets off a whole secondary plotline which doesn't even go anywhere.

Then there's the fact that the film seems to entirely forget realistic consequences for actions - a lone, stationary fighter would be obliterated if parked next to the enemy fleet taunting their commander. Similarly two soldiers (one injured) would be captured or killed if they crashed their vehicles directly in front of an overwhelming enemy force.

Adding in a convenient superweapon that is relatively cheap and effective for guerilla fighters will now take considerable retconning and handwaving to keep the in-universe logic believable.

High speed ramming someone to stop them performing a heroic sacrifice is a ludicrous solution. Not only is it a miracle that you won't both be killed, but also destroys the only hope you have of saving them. (Even a minor chance is better than nothing).


I could go on, but hopefully you'll get the idea. These are all concepts or scenes that were clearly played out to look cool but only serve to make every person appear blind, stupid or incompetent.


Then there are the story choices. This is a matter of opinion, so I appreciate that for many people the story was perfect. Personally, I felt Johnson was trying too hard to 'subvert' the story by essentially cutting every possible thread from previous Star Wars movies. I won't say it's 'killed' Star Wars or my childhood, but it cheapens everything that went before when you realise their lives, deaths and trials were meaningless. It makes the stories hollow when you see everything they went through didn't make any difference. Which bring me to the final point...


'The Force' is now a galactic scale as per this movie. It is characterised as continuously pitting light and dark against each other in the name of balance and will raise up force users to achieve this goal.

So...what's the point? If an external power is seeing to it that one side can NEVER triumph, then what are the stakes? What is the point? Where is it going when everything is at a permanently enforced stalemate?

It appears the real story is about some unseen motives that 'The Force' has, but we are consigned to watching it play with its toys instead.


In summary....


Visually stunning and reasonably entertaining but severely let down by lazy script writing and blinkered approach to the choice and consequence of story telling. On its own I'd have given it a five, but will deduct one further for making the preceding 16 hours of movies a waste of my time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. By far the worst of all the star wars. This movie is a complete mess made by someone who wanted to do something different and assuming that because its different its good. Not everything needs to be different some things are good and that's ok. Lets see... Rey keeps getting more and more powerful without any real training. Instead of failing and learning from it, she always wins! There is a woman who ordered her army to do stuff that made no sense and just said they should obey just because she said so. The people who didn't agree with her where made to be selfish and reckless. Suddenly Leia had super powers that allowed her to wake up from being unconscious and fly in the coldness in space with no problems. A woman stopped a man from saving the day because she "fell in love" with him even though they had no chemistry at all and barely just met. Also, Luke would save the day but when she selfishly stopped the guy from saving the day she didn't know this. The evil villain who was supposed to be the baddest was killed pretty quickly and easy. And then we get to Luke... Luke Skywalker, the guy who never lost faith, who never gave up, the guy who saved his fathers soul and the galaxy, for some reason, became a hate filled, hopeless guy. You know, because when you are the hero of the galaxy and manage to make all your dreams come true, its only logical that you would become bitter, hate filled and leave the world to become a hermit and not care about anyone else. Makes a lot of sense! Also, even though you never gave up on your father after he already turned evil, you give up easily on your nephew who hasn't turned evil yet and try to murder him in his sleep like a coward. This dude destroyed all that Luke stood for and was. I know this is just a movie and I shouldn't care, but I cant deny its sad. I will wait for my friends to let me know what the next movie (episode 9) is about and then Ill check it out because I dont trust this people anymore. There are a ton more things that i disliked about the movie but This is long enough. Its just terrible. I hope Rian Johnson's new Star Wars trilogy gets canceled, he should never be allowed near any SW thing ever again. The one good thing that came out of this movie, to be honest, is that this movie made me see how much I liked star wars because I never was hardcore into the movies, never owned any of them or owned anything star wars but it really bothered me what they did which was surprising to me and made me realize I do like the movies.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel like this movie had some serious issues, and seeing how polarizing the opinions on this film has become, I have to say I am on the negative side. And the more people have been trying to convince me this movie was just beyond my understanding as the reason I don't like it, it has pushed me further. Rian Johnson, nothing against him personally, but his resume is brief enough to include here: "Brick", "The Brothers Bloom", "Looper", and directed three Breaking Bad episodes. That's not enough for me to just assume I don't understand his genius. Plus, his decision to methodically go the unexpected route with each of his plot points just didn't work out for me.

We are severely lacking in antagonists now. Rian killed off Snoke in a very anti-climatic way, which isn't bad by itself, but it left the FO hollow, with no cool Storm Trooper variants or characters, and no real officers. Hux was wasted in this film, and no one has come close to convincing me otherwise. Phasma was wasted, don't think many people think otherwise. I could go on and on, but I will at least say that there are several parts in this movie that were forced in to mold a storyline from. I've watched this film a few times to see if my opinions would change, but those stick out sharper and sharper with each viewing. I'll stop there and implore everyone to make up their own opinions on this film. But if you are hear on Metacritic, perhaps gauging other's opinions, then this is mine. A 5 out of 10, which sounds even crazier considering how passionate some people are about the greatness of this film.… Expand

What could go(Originally written on 12/17/17) I was ecstatic about seeing this film. It had amazing trailers and an incredible director leading the project, Rian Johnson, who made a Sci-Fi film back in 2012 called Looper, which I loved. What could go wrong? This film centers around the Resistance, which is somehow struggling after they just destroyed the First Order’s main base in the previous movie. The whole movie is about the Resistance attempting to escape the grasp of the first order while they hunt them down with their “merciless fleet” and that they need Luke Skywalker to help them. Before I rip this movie to shreds, let’s talk about the positives. One positive that I can say with absolute certainty is how great the special effects are. This movie has some of the best space battle and ground battle sequences of all the Star Wars movies. They are masterfully shot, edited, and designed. The CGI is very believable here and is the best of all of the movies. The acting is also very commendable. Mark Hamill gives his best performance as Luke Skywalker out of all of the movies and Daisy Ridley also gives a very committed and emotional performance as Rey. The real show stealer, however, is Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, which really surprised me. I wasn’t sure about him as the main villain in The Force Awakens, but here he has completely sold me. His transition from emo wannabe Darth Vader to a damaged, hate-filled and sinister man was amazing and he has convinced me that he can be a very strong main villain. His scenes with Rey are some of the best scenes in the movie. Now, the part I’ve been looking forward to the least, are the things about this movie that utterly angered me the most. There are a lot of plot holes in this movie, but the one that angered me the most basically is the backbone of the movie and is the only reason the events in this movie are even taking place. I don’t consider this a spoiler since it is established early on in the film. This plot hole can be summed up into three words, “out of range.” The only reason the First Order fleet isn’t able to destroy the Resistance ship is because they are too far away from it to shoot at it without hitting their shields. Are… are you serious? You have a whole fleet at your disposal, with thousands of tie fighters and other ships, and you can’t catch one ship that is running low on fuel and is completely vulnerable to attack? Just send a bunch of tie fighters out to it, or do a small light-speed jump to get right behind its ass and then blow it to kingdom come, or call in some of your dreadnots that you claim are “fleet-killers.” The Resistance in the beginning of the movie killed “a” dreadnought, not “the” dreadnought. Another downfall of this movie is the pacing. It is holy inconsistent. The first half of this movie feels like it was put together and edited by an unpaid intern. Nothing connects or flows together well at all. It reminded me of Batman V. Superman, and that’s never good. In fact, the first half of this movie besides the first action sequence is god awful in general. The dialogue is bad, the writing is bad, the directing is bad, and the pacing, like I said, is all over the place. The rest of my complaints delve into spoiler territory, so I am warning you. **********SPOILER WARNING********** A scene that infuriated, and continues to infuriate me, is a scene involving Princess Leia using the force in a very stupid and contrived way. In this scene, Kylo Ren is about to kill his mother, Princess Leia, but decides not to. Instead, two tie fighters converge on either side of him and blast Leia into space, where she proceeds to do one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen in a Star Wars movie. In the middle of space, with no suit or oxygen mask or anything of the sort, she magically flies back to the ship using the force and she survives. What….the...f*** is all I can say. Possibly one of the worst sub-plots in Star Wars history also exists in this movie. The sub-plot involves Finn and a woman named Rose who go to a Casino on another world to find a code breaker who will help disable the First Order’s trackers so their ship can jump to lightspeed and escape the First Order without them tracking the Resistance. The whole sub-plot, however, is completely inconsequential to the events of the movie and doesn’t even need to exist. This is because the Resistance chooses to go with the Vice-Admiral’s plan anyways. This was about 30 minutes wasted of an already overly long runtime of 2 hours and 32 minutes. Although there is a lot that angers me about this movie, there is also a lot that I love about this movie, ie. the dynamic between Kylo and Rey, all of the scenes with Luke, Luke’s beautiful death, the amazing special effects, and the well done action sequences. Overall, though, this movie is incredibly disappointing and I am going to give Star Wars: The Last Jedi a 4/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie looked amazing and had tons of spectacle but once you stop to think about it for a second the whole thing completely falls apart. Admiral Holdo's refusal to tell Poe the plan led to the most contrived conflict I have every seen in a film. Canto Bite is the most embarrassing thing to happen to star wars since jar jar (and the Rose saving Finn scene but I have bigger fish to fry). Kylo has more personalities than the goddamn villain from Split. The way this movie handed Luke was at worst a complete slap in the face to Mark Hamill and one of the most beloved star wars characters of all time and at best completely lazy (giving his personality a complete 180 because things during the 30 years after Return of the Jedi without showing what the hell happened and why). Then the movie killed him for no reason meaning there is no way to redeem himself in Episode 9. And oh boy did the movie handle the fact that they were in space horribly. Arching Lasers, bombs dropped in space, no depressurization when opening the airlock etc. The infamous Leia Poppins scene was...uncomfortable to say the least given the context. There was a particular scene that I think sums up the entirety of the movie. The scene were Yoda appears to Luke. It makes you smile for a second until he calls down lightning and destroys the library thing. Then you just shake your head and feel bad because you see what Rian was clearly going for and what he was trying to do but the poor guy just missed the mark with this movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this is the most insulting and bad star wars movie ever made luke is portrayed as an idiot and is no longer the hero i loved also the way he dies is also so insulting. rey is a overpowered and bad character that is the bog hero in this movie but a week before the last jedi she didn't even beleef in the force. there are manny bad characters in this movie that should be left out of this movie. the only good things in this movie is the cgi and the sound effects (if that is the only thing you care about and if you have never seen a star wars movie before the your also gonna love this movie)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terrible Writing and completely disregards points brought up in previous films. The Use of Bathos in this film completely ruins the drama and tension in many scenes. The editing is a mess and the Lore and fans have been completely disregarded by the director and Kathleen Kennedy. The film is also filled with so much SJW propaganda it isn't even funny. The 30 minute casino sequence is just a waste of 30 minutes and their is no character development at all in this film.… Expand

So what did i gain from watching this SJW take on Star Wars? Absolutely nothing...

Rey is the biggest Mary Sue to ever grace cinema history, Luke is now a hermit that lets himself get beaten by Rey, to remind us that this is a movie with SJWSo what did i gain from watching this SJW take on Star Wars? Absolutely nothing...

Rey is the biggest Mary Sue to ever grace cinema history, Luke is now a hermit that lets himself get beaten by Rey, to remind us that this is a movie with SJW feminazi ideology. Rose is the definition of a pointless character, she takes up screen-time that should have been used for Snoke or Luke (THE MORE IMPORTANT CHARACTERS) She also ruined Finn for me.

Snoke is the definition of a wasted villain, episode 7 was meaningless now, huge villain build-up is gone.

Admiral Holdo was just stuck-up the whole time, completely unlikable and withholding plans to escape from her own team. Didn't even look like a military leader at all. Poe was in this movie to get bashed for saving lives.

There was too much comedy and subverted expectations, everything that happened, happened only because we wouldn't expect it.... that's not good story telling in the slightest.

This movie saved me from spending my money on future star wars movies.

There is not much I can say that hasn't already been said but this film proves that a 4 decade old franchise isn't seen as a form of escapism but instead a soap box for what ever political problems line the top of Lucasfilm and Disneys lists.

Really don't know where to start.This movie is a abomination of Star Wars movie, destroying everything that was great about it.Tricking us into believing that there will be a continues of the story and wasting our hard earned money. And whatReally don't know where to start.This movie is a abomination of Star Wars movie, destroying everything that was great about it.Tricking us into believing that there will be a continues of the story and wasting our hard earned money. And what was done to Luke was unforgivable. I remember when I watched it for the first time as a kid 40years ago, it blew me away, it opened up my imagination. Now this ? rubbish...why? We don't matter anymore? Getting rid of the "old" and in with the new?? Basically you intentionally went out to say F### YOU to all of us loyal fans that have stuck with SW for ever????
Well F### YOU I wont be watching anymore, the real STAR WARS is dead.… Expand

re watched it again on Netflix after i initially saw it opening day in the theater. It has not gotten any better. Way too long for nothing to really happen.

What was this movie? There's no logic. There's no gravity in space! Everyone was basically made into a fool than character buildup. Fight me Rian, but this was not a Star Wars movie. More or less, it's kind of like a 'Spaceballs' movie goneWhat was this movie? There's no logic. There's no gravity in space! Everyone was basically made into a fool than character buildup. Fight me Rian, but this was not a Star Wars movie. More or less, it's kind of like a 'Spaceballs' movie gone political. The only good thing about this movie was that it was beautifully shot. That's why I didn't look at my phone throughout the duration of the film.… Expand

This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I saw it over a year ago and I am still pissed off about it. After seeing The Force Awakens, I was so excited to see The Last Jedi. I could not have been any more violatedThis is by far the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I saw it over a year ago and I am still pissed off about it. After seeing The Force Awakens, I was so excited to see The Last Jedi. I could not have been any more violated by this movie. I loved Star Wars and saw the first movie in theaters when I was a kid. 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. I felt like I was watching a Star Wars spoof. Rian Johnson did the one thing that I thought was impossible—he made me not care about the next Star Wars movie. I won’t go see it now just to protest this terrible film.… Expand
