I'm still at a 6 because of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Chewbacca/R2 all being in it and they did some nice references to Rogue One with calling the ship the Raddus and how the first order can track through lightspeed in the first place!

A lot of people have ripped this movie/Johnson to shreds and he deserves it, I just don't know how JJ can recover from this! Who the hell is in the first order any more? There's some theorys going around that Snoke isn't really dead and I almost believe them just from a numbers standpoint. Who else is there?! A beatable Kylo Ren...Hux is worthless and the stormtroopers who killed NO ONE in this movie. BB8 killed 5 of them by hijacking an Atst..it's liked watching Season 4 of Rebels (so far)! Just have the good guys win 99% of the battles! SCREW THAT. It's a WAR

Anyways, as routine as Force Awakens was..he set up Rian Johnson pretty well. You can see who the Knights of Ren are, why Kylo turned on Luke..do whatever the hell you want with Rey, Luke, Finn, Phasma, Leia, Snoke etc and then he does this?

Do they have some rivalry going on behind the scenes?

Did he not like some seasons of Lost or did JJ not like Looper?!

This almost looks like a parody/grudge!

Nice freaking use of PHASMA/ACKBAR, btw! Give them no glory..no defining moment...GREAT DECISION.

There's been some conspiracy going around saying that bots hijacked rottentomatoes and gave Last Jedi a 53 (from the fans). Man, you're looking it the wrong way..how in the HELL did it get a 92% from the critics! Of course, IGN gave it a 97..but they might give the worst movie ever a 75! Have they reviewed Major League 3 yet?

Anyways, I loved Rogue One and I know Ron Howard won't screw up Solo and am glad Johnson has NOTHING to do with the Obi Wan movie!

Last Jedi = LAST PLACE. Attack of the Clone is 10 times the movie this was!

P.S. Watch Clone Wars! Everyone who doesn't is doing a DISSERVICE to themselves!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film has no sense. It's constructed from plot holes. Characters are very poor written. This kills Skywalker saga... so kills Star Wars, because 7 earlier films was a Skywalker saga... This film has only one purpose. Make a lot of money for Disney... Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have mixed feelings and am not sure I liked it. I didn’t go away thinking, wow I want to own this movie. I likely won’t purchase it. I was disappointed with what they did with Luke. Mark Hamill did a great job with what he was given. The Finn and Rose plot line was a waste and felt forced. The kiss was stupid. The humor was oddly placed and very “Disney like”. I’m worried for whats next. I liked Rogue One much better than this. I hope they do better on the next one, but I wasn’t all that impressed with Force awakens either. So what hope can I have? Oh well... Expand

However the story is a mix of uninspired and boring. Neither of which are even remotely good.
Narrative-
The narrative of this movie is the same as episode 5. Just as how episode 7 was like episode 4. A new Jedi goes to another planet to learn from a master to become stronger with the force, then they leave to go help their friends. That is the narrative of episode 5 and 8. If you spend a while looking into it you will only find more parallels. In fact the only significant change to narrative is the casino storyline, (which I won't spoil) which sucks. It tries to make you care about characters you just really don't and it amounts to nothing. This could be a normal length, not original but enjoyable still movie, however the casino just seems like they had to do something with John Boyega to remind you his character still existed. It is bad on that front. Visuals-
This movie has my favourite visual aesthetics of a Star Wars movie to date. The planet, Crait, at the end is just awesome. Its like a huge salt flat with red dust under the surface, making a stunning visual filled with contrast of colours. Also the casino is very interesting looking, despite being useless.
Audio-
Its Star Wars audio. Its pretty cool.

To finish this review, I have to disclose that I'm not the biggest fan of the series. I have no investment into this series particularly like so many others do so thats why I can excuse some of the things like how they use Luke Skywalker as a character. However the story is just not good for a movie that should be this epic. In fact the only way I could tell that this movie was epic was from its visuals which were spectacular. However I still wouldn't go to see it again, or recommend it to non-fans of the series. It has positives but it is still a below average film.

Maybe Phantom Menace is sometimes boring and has Jar Jar, but this movie is garbage in terms of story-writing and character writing. The visuals and the music are the only reasons for the 5/10!

While it does have its fair share of visually dazzling and exciting moments, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" suffers from an absurd amount of filler and overall falls flat on many of the aspects that its predecessors triumphed in.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What amazes me is not that this is a terrible movie, but that it is such a plainly terrible movie so widely acclaimed by "critics". When I was younger, I had an impression that critics, you know, criticized. I remember so many action and sci-fi movies I thought were pretty good and the reviews would go, "meh, cliche script, gaping plot holes, no character development, meh", even as cult followings formed around them. And that state of affairs seemed natural - they were flawed movies, that we found peculiar and idiosyncratic reasons to love. It's so weird to find the situation reversed now, with armies of critics thrusting laurels upon these truly disembrained amorphous blockbuster heaps, while longtime fans of the franchise seem to be the only ones who care enough to spot the flaws. Something interesting worth investigating has happened in the political economy of film criticism.

The new cast fails to connect, which is not the fault of the actors but of a story which gives them little meaningful to do, little growth, a script that seems plagiarized from kids' joke-books and inspirational workplace posters. Really, there is hardly a story. The central plot device, the space version of the OJ Simpson chase, is both boring and absurd. Why would a ship moving through space slow down because of lack of fuel (an object in motion remains in motion...)? Why can't the Imperials just use hyperdrive? The characters are always running off to do this or that, for reasons that make no sense, and fail to fit into any larger strategy or narrative. Yes, the movie looks good and sounds good, the effects are awesome, but that used to be considered the icing on the cake, not what made something a good movie. The classic cast are irrelevant shadows valued only as captive legitimacy symbols, perverse trophies, like deposed statesmen kept alive long enough to woodenly endorse the new president-for-life before inevitable ignominious doom. Enough has been said about what has been done to the character of Luke Skywalker. But what was more telling was the way Admiral Akbar was treated. This was a better test than Luke as to how the moviemakers really felt about the Star Wars universe - a marginal character easily overlooked by someone whose casual or workmanlike review of the saga films left them cold, but much beloved by those who love the films and universe. They offed him off-screen, and did not skip a beat. The first draft of the line was probably, "General Akbar, Luke, Leia, Lando, the robots, Jeff from accounting, Munchie, and Han Polo is dead. Anyhoo..."

Ok, the movie sucked, a lot of movies suck, that's totally normal, it happens, it's no reflection on the hardworking cast and crew, hopefully they will go on to better things. What leaves me unsettled is the critical acclaim. Another reviewer here said it before me, and they were right, this is the world of the Emperor's New Clothes.

If the marvel movies didn't exist showing us disney can make a quality series i wouldn't be as harsh but this definitely was not well paced like those. They make women look bad and unappealing where as black widow and captain marvel are well done. The mary sue, asian token, and purple hair are weak shallow characters that do the opposite of empowerment. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a Star Wars fan, I really wanted to like this movie. But I didn't. While it has its moments, it's far from the quality film we deserve. I have always maintained that I love all Star Wars movies equally and think they all deserve a place in the series. I love the original trilogy, I love the prequels, and I even really loved The Force Awakens. Which is why this movie was such a disappointment.

This movie doesn't "feel" like Star Wars. Rogue One didn't really "feel" like Star Wars either, but in a different way. Rogue One was different, but still good. The Last Jedi feels like a high-quality Star Wars fan fiction that the interns drafted up while all the talented Star Wars writers were out to lunch. From the very outset, we're given an opener with tons of cheese that I guess was supposed to make the kids laugh because Disney mandated it. And the entire film is full of forced one-liners and humor that falls flat. Then there's Kathleen Kennedy's lovely forced diversity. Every character in the Resistance is either a woman, a racial minority, or often both. Laura Dern plays an unlikable moron with purple hair and Rose Tico is completely unnecessary to the film. One of the characters even has an annoying speech impediment.

Nobody cares about this kind of stuff in movies, and it's especially annoying considering it came at the cost of quality. Speaking of which, this movie is all over the place. There are a handful of good scenes and not much else. I forgave Rey's effortless use of the Force in Episode VII because it had just awakened in her and was so powerful, even Snoke felt it. But Rey doesn't even have much of a personality in TLJ and overcomes every dumb obstacle with minimal effort. Speaking of Snoke, he's not a mysterious dark presence anymore, he's a wrinkled old man in a hideous bathrobe who dies like a b**** and we don't learn anything meaningful about him before he does. The entire casino planet part was entirely unnecessary and reeks of the writers desperately wanting to have another eye-popping cantina scene like the last movie. Rose whines to Finn about child slavery so they save a bunch of animals and then leave the kids behind to stay as slaves for some reason.

Captain Phasma reveals she's not dead and approximately 3 minutes later, she's effortlessly cut down by Finn the janitor in hand-to-hand combat. Chewie is just kind of there the whole movie and never does anything. Luke is all sad because he failed as a Jedi and acts like a whiny jerk for most of the movie instead of the powerful Jedi he supposedly is. There's an absolutely horrendous scene where Leia gets sucked into space and magically flies back into the ship with the Force with absolutely no explanation as to how or why. You might as well have just shown her in space then blacked out the screen with the words "plot device" on it, then cut to Leia safe inside the ship because it would have had the exact same effect on me.

Then at the end, there's a generic recreation of the Battle of Hoth that I couldn't be bothered to care about. Also, for the entirety of the film, Kylo Ren is still an edgy, angry crybaby. Every line of dialogue in this film feels like it was written by freshman drama students and character development is completely nonexistent aside from Luke's change of heart and admittedly cool showdown with Kylo Ren, which aside from the throne room fight was the only part of this movie I actually enjoyed. The Last Jedi is an absolute mess and it certainly isn't a Star Wars movie, whatever it may be. I'm not blinded by nostalgia, I liked The Force Awakens. But this movie dashes any interest or development episode VII created for the Star Wars saga. I honestly have no interest in seeing where the story goes from here because the journey up to this point was so absurd and poorly executed. I'd honestly be satisfied if JJ Abrams revealed in Episode IX that everything that happened in TLJ was just Finn's fever dream while he was knocked out by Kylo Ren in Episode VII or something and then pick up from where TFA left off and actually stick to Abrams's original ideas.

I'm not in the category of people who think this movie is the worst film ever made and it wasn't quite as bad as I assumed it would be. But I felt lukewarm about it as I watched it and the more I marinate over it, the less appealing it becomes. I had the same experience with The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And that's what this film is isn't it? It's the Crystal Skull of Star Wars. Let's forget it ever happened and never speak of it again.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quite enjoyed this movie, the space battles and many twists and turns, etc. However I kind of agree with a lot of the haters. Luke Skywalker is not the same character we grew to follow in the original films and I completely understand Mark Hamill's disappointment about how was written. I can't equate the daydreaming farmboy from Tattooine with a grumpy old man living on a rock in the middle of nowhere. The Leia spacewalk drew groans from the audience, as did the cow-milking scene. Snoke was killed cheaply before we even knew anything about him, as was Phasma. The resistance is basically dead now; the 30 surviving people on the millenium falcon with no military hardware are not anything you would call a threat worth bothering about, so the first order have already won. There seemed to be a lot of diversity box-ticking with regard to the casting (in real life the resistance would be like any military organisation in history - young men going off to fight given orders by old men). I also found it noticeable that the first order was all caucasian, in stark contrast to the much more diverse resistance. I wonder what the reaction would have been if this had been the other way round. There were lots of plots holes. Overall I enjoyed waiting to see what would happen, the set pieces were very well done as were the effects. I feel kylo ren and rey's character's were progressed well, if nobody else. I don't think it's the movie it could, and indeed, should have been considering it was Luke's finale, Han Solo is already dead and Carrie Fisher has sadly passed on. Just feel they deserved something better than this. Expand

Rose is a courageous woman.
Leia is a wise and respected woman.
Rei is an invincible, ever-right, always victorious, perfect woman.

Luke is a cowardly, worthless man.
Poe is an irrational, stupid man who doesn't respect the woman above him.
Finn is a cowardly, ridiculous man.
Kylo is a hyperagressive, insecure, villainous man.
Snoke is a ridiculous villain who dies while he yells that he can't be beat. He's also a man, albeit a bit too toasted.
Hux is a ridiculous, pathetic villainous man.

Have you noticed the pattern? What message this movie is telling you?
Vagina good. Penis bad.

Thank God they were too stupid to even hide the message under a halfway decent plot, so this time even the braindead fanboys realised they were being served something debasing.

Disney wants you to cut off your penis, go do it.

Honestly which sane person decided to change the complete story in part 2 of a trilogy? J. J. Abrams has done a solid groundwork and very good set ups in The Force Awakens. Rian Johnson has wasted everything to tell his own new unimpressive story full of plot holes because of the changes. Rian Johnson is even a really good director and writer and I would recommend much of his other work. I don't know what happen there but I will list all failures. I start with the characters: Luke Skywalker is so misrepresented that even Mark Hamill has spoken out that he doesn't know who that guy is and that Luke would do nothing like that before he got silenced. Rey got demoted to Mary Sue (Flawless avatar far better than anyone else with all abilities at grandmaster level). Snoke became the Hugh Hefner of Star Wars and a laughing stock for me. All leaders made incompetent decisions (= Hux, Leia and Holdo). Hux exspecially became an incopentent moron stereotype. Finn and Rose have a story arc that is completely wasted. You can remove all that happens there and nothing changes. In defences of Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran), Amilyn Holdo (Laura Dern) and others. Nothing in this is the fault of the actors. They deliver a good performance in a horrible script. Rian Johnson is credited as writer so he should be the person to blame. I want to apologize for all fans that lost their mind and wish all of you the best. I will say that Rain Johnson did a horrible job for representation of female characters. Star Wars is full of strong, intelligent and interesting female characters that could have been used. Story: Like I already said the story gets rebooted and there are a lot of plot holes. !!!Slight spoiler warning!!! Luke Skywalker hides and didn't want to be found but left a map. Snoke is so powerful that no one can defeat him but gets defeated in a humiliating way. A simple Padawan could have done this. The chase of the Resistance is pointless. The First Order could destroy them at any time without problems. Solution 1: Use half of your fleet and jump via hyperspace in front of the Resistances (Have a ship with interdiction capabilities with them for max efficiency). Solution 2: Use all your fighters to attack. Look what just Kylo can do with some support. Now think about what all fighters of the First Order fleet can do. Solution 3: Avoid this situation completely. After you jump out of hyperspace above the Resistance base use curtain fire with all your ships and have the fighters ready for interception. But it is not only the First Order. Poe gets punished for saving the Resistance. Without his action all of them would have died one after another much faster. Leia and Holdo have no strategy. All they do is delaying their unavoidable demise by sacrificing their ships. The endgame is hiding in a place their enemies can easily destroy and find as easy as the back of their hands because they track them. Solution 1: Have enough fuel in your ships and be ready to escape you morons. They are the Resistance and must be always prepared to escape because their enemy has superior firepower. There are veterans from the Rebels in their ranks. They knew this and had terrible losses in the war with the Empire that had taught them this lesson. Solution 2: Scatter your fleet in as many directions as possible. This would scatter the enemy fleet or they must set priorities. Both would give you better tactical options. Smaller ships can hide in systems that are dangerous for bigger ships (Asteroid belts, gravity anomalies, high density of gravity objects etc.) This would save many lives and in combination with solution 1 with 100% certainty. Solution 3.:Jump to places that would defeat the First Order fleet or help you. Examples would be first Kuat. The shipbuilding system is the best defended place in the Star Wars galaxy and they don't take it kindly if an enemy fleet comes in for a visit. Bonus: The First order wants this intact and would never destroy it. Secondly Mon Cala. The Mon Calamari suffered under the Empire. There is no way that they would not fight the First Order no matter the odds. I would also say Coruscant but don't know if it is as well defended as in Legends. Then the already mention arc with Rose and Finn. Nothing happens there that has an impact for the story. Why waste this time? It looked like they are proud of it. Hyperspace ramming: There were ramming tactics in Legends (In the Corellian trilogy books if I remember correctly) and in a Star Wars comic for hyperspace ramming. It was not efficient because three ships could not take out a Super Star Destroyer. I must come to an end because I run out of space. Overall this is an abomination of a Star Wars movie that is well directed. I barely can push myself to give a 1/10. Expand

However, with the perspective of a delusional director that antagonizes long time fans, uses subtle political agenda and blatantly plagiarizes aspects of the Extended Universe all under the guise of subverting expectation with absolutely nothing, any sense of the sequel being unique has been lost. Numerous roles and important plot points are outright ignored while either ripping off, slandering and subverting worst case scenario ideas from titles like Star Wars: Jedi Outcast II, or creating new characters and events that are rushed and have no coherence or impact on the plot at all. The story feels misconstrued as if important events where skipped over without explanation and almost every character with the exception of Poe Dameron was completely bipolar, irrational and lacked tact and strategy, often feeling just as comically confused about the plot as the audience were. When I had heard of a continuation to the cliff hangar used in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I would never have imagined that a 1.3 million dollar movie would make the First Order into just another Nazi reference, disrespect the promised roles of important characters, make irrelevant and questionable decisions, scenarios that feel out of context and would even go as far as to take advantage of the removal of strong female villains such as Komari Vosa and Tavion Axmis just to allow a nobody character like Phasma to pretend to be the first female Star Wars villain while accomplishing nothing. As a fan that grew up respecting the Extended Universe, I'm appalled to see an entire timeline rapaciously disgraced, disregarded, and then exploited by oblivious hacks that only recognized an opportunity to profit off of something they wouldn't have considered otherwise if it hadn't have given them the chance to push their political propaganda. An incoherent mess from beginning to end, disappointment doesn't even begin to describe the exploitative waste of time that is The Last Jedi. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, for me, it is the worst Star Wars movie and it is very difficult to explain why is so bad, as Star Wars movie as movie in general (I said this, because many people think that it is a good movie but a bad Star Wars movie).

At first i´m going to start with good aspects:

-Kylo Ren evolution, but this is thanks the Adam Driver actuation
-Glass dogs
-Actuation Marck Hamill, although his script is a s**t
-Some BB8 scenes. Ok the bad:


-Boring worlds
-Bad scripts and some bad actuations
-Plot with many holes
-The worst ships in all saga (The Resistance bombers concretaly)
-Too comedy
-Soundtrack repetitive
-Special effects are good, but inferior with the before movie.
-Any memorable scene (Some people said Yoda scene, but this doesn´t have sense)
-Destroy the Star Wars Universe (The force, the ships wars....)
-Copy many scenes episodes V and VI but worse
-The Casino is a s**t it is possible that i leave more, but i don´t remember more; is a alwful movie and i can´t understand the "critics" give it tens.

The only reason that this movie gets even a single point is that it is a visually pleasing movie to watch. Absolutely everything else about it, however, is some combination of terrible writing, eye-rolling scenes, or illogical situations.The only reason that this movie gets even a single point is that it is a visually pleasing movie to watch. Absolutely everything else about it, however, is some combination of terrible writing, eye-rolling scenes, or illogical situations.

Let's start with the characters. Significant things or developments happen to multiple significant characters throughout this movie without an explanation or logical assumption. Character growth is virtually non-existent, where everyone seems to move/act/talk simply to create dramatic moments. I stopped counting how many times characters did not act in normal or logical ways purely to add drama and pay some sort of service to an identity or tired character trope. And finally, previously introduced characters seem to only represent their original identity by name/actor alone (with some key characters, notably Luke, inexplicably ruined).

The story is as illogical and flawed as the character development. Scenes are either fabricated purely for dramatic effect or as filler to offer some characters a modicum of utility. I cannot think of a single scene in the entire film that stands on either logic or in congruence with what we've come to know or love about the franchise...save for the odd light saber duel. There is even a solid 20-30 minutes worth of the film that could be completely removed without affecting either the rest of the movie or franchise in any tangible way (casino venture).

Where Episode VII was an obvious trip down nostalgia lane (read also: retread of original trilogy, namely episode IV) adding little to the franchise other than fan service, this one seemed to aim at pushing the franchise into isolation territory. It is a metaphorical middle finger to Star Wars lore, and only works as a film if you forget all previous films/literature and eschew logic. This film was clearly made to push the trilogy forward for the sake of selling tickets, merchandise, and virtually nothing else.

This is easily the worst Star Wars movie ever made, and given the issues with episodes I-III and lack of originality/ingenuity of VII, that's really saying something!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I came out of Star Wars The Last Jedi full of excitement and joy, but the more I sit and think about it the more I feel robbed. The trailers for The Last Jedi were promising a dark dramatic film where Luke Skywalker is broken and conflicted with himself and on the verge of insanity, Rey is shown asking Kylo Ren to show her her place in this world taking his hand in the First Order...NONE OF THAT HAPPENED. Instead, the film begins like a Saturday morning cartoon where General Hux(who was an intimidating and powerful character in The Force Awakens)is receiving crank calls from Poe Dameron(who also is very different in this film). The main plot pretty much consists of the slowest high speed chase in film history between The Resistance and The First Order, which is very disappointing because Rey and Luke’s arc which is what the film is named after is taking a backseat to a space janitor(Finn)and a maintenance worker(Rose)flying around the galaxy with some dude named “DJ” trying to destroy a tracker. REALLY??? Throughout the first and second act Rey is attempting to get Luke to return and help the Resistance “Light The Spark That Will Burn The First Order Down” and also trying to figure out who her parents are on the side. This arc was very important in The Force Awakens and is literally thrown down the drain with Rey admitting that she knew who her parents were the whole time. Drunks. WHY??? If the Star Wars Saga is supposed to focus on The Skywalker Family then why is Rey so heavily focused on? She even goes so far as to fall in some pointless “Darkside Pit” and have some trippy dream, all to add up to nothing. Most of the characters in The Last Jedi are treated very poorly with a few exceptions. Snoke, who was another character who was built up so much in The Force Awakens is easily killed by Kylo Ren when he is teased to turn to the light, which was also for nothing rendering Snoke’s death pointless. Poe Dameron is perceived as some dimwitted “Blow Everything Up Pilot”, who disobeys even the simplest direct orders. Carrie Fisher(RIP)does a terrible job as Admiral Leia, delivering her lines like a robot. Not to mention that she's not dead? Are they just going to have a CGI Leia for the entirety of Episode Nine? The film is also way too crowded, Maz Kanata shows up for 30 seconds and has no purpose whatsoever. Yoda shows up as a force ghost to try and get Lukes head back in the game, at first I was blown away with surprise and happiness to see them using the original puppet, but now I realize that there was again literally no point of his cameo because Luke doesn't listen to him anyway. Captain Phasma is heavily advertised in the trailers and merchandise and is killed off less than 5 minutes into her appearance. The moments in this film that were full of potential and promise were quickly shot down with unneeded puns and goofs, Luke tickles Rey with a leaf telling her The Force is trying to connect with her, Kylo Ren tries to persuade Rey with his abs and every time there is a cool moment a Porg appears out of nowhere and does something stupid usually with slapstick comedy. Sadly, there are little to no action sequences in this film and literally not one, NOT ONE lightsaber duel. And of course the film builds one up, teases it and you guessed it; doesn't deliver. Not only does it not deliver, it gives the film an excuse to needlessly kill off Luke Skywalker. Nevertheless, The Last Jedi isn't all bad, the cinematography is amazing and Rian Johnson delivers some stunning visuals. There is a JAW-DROPPING flashback with an Evil Luke Skywalker trying to kill A Pre-Kylo Ren Ben Solo. The Set Pieces are spectacular, especially Snoke’s Liar which is home to the Amazingly-Choreographed “Red Room Battle” In the end, Star Wars The Last Jedi is not a perfect film, in fact, it has a lot of problems with the script and not being as it seems. But, it still is an entertaining film that never gets boring thanks to easy flowing pacing and delivers some very cool and surprising moments. Expand

It did feel like itThis is another visual feast, with top quality CGI and some pretty impressive battle/action scenes. It's quite an engrossing watch, even though I can't claim I followed all the plot intricacies (I'll leave that to others). It did feel like it covers quite a bit of ground, as it were. There are some thought provoking pieces of dialogue present and even some amusing comedic moments, as well as, of course, the numerous fast paced battle scenes. I thought the different landscapes were intriguing. Nearly everywhere seems to have big sweeping vistas. There's one scene in particular towards the end which was quite a gripping watch - two big characters facing off against one another but I'll say no more, so as not to provide 'full blown' spoilers.

Yes I'd recommend this to fans of action sci-fi films and anyone looking for a CGI filled bit of entertainment for the 2 hour and 25 minute run time it lasts (if you stop just as the credits start).

I am all for change, and went into watching this film with great excitement and high expectations for where these characters would go and what they would develop into. But this is laughable. From completely changing personalities of long-beloved characters, to the embarrassing levels of bathos prevalent throughout, this movie has failed tremendously in telling a story with any level of creativity, coherence or substance. Give all future projects to Jon Favreau. He's our only hope. Expand

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

TL;DR A pandering, soggy, feminist, non-sensical, critic pleasing disappointment of a solid series.

As a stand alone movie, detached from reality, broken away from anything else Star Wars and that had 200 million dollars dumped into it, it's okay. As the 9th installment that was supposed to shine as the apex of the grand adventure that George started spanning several generations with an established canon and formula, Disney and Kennedy spit in our faces and ruined what was going to be an amazing series for the past several years. Physically going to George Lucas and throwing away his creative instruction for his own series over Disney money only further incinerated the dumpster fire that was started with the constant bickering and firing of directors and producers. IX made VII and VIII make even less sense, and throws away so much of what was already established as canon. IX does a good job on trying to tie the loose knots that is killing off all male roles, making the sith (Kilo) look like an unconfident **** sorry excuses for character development, worse romance than Twilight had, and story development time wasting. This movie feels like it was rushed, poorly executed, and molded perfectly to please critics and leave the entire body of fans in the gutter. IX is a perfect example of pandering, you can see that divide perfectly between the people and the critics. 6 year old me is still shaking his head over this poor development that was established between Lucas Art's movies, and what was established in VII. I created an account just to convey this disappointment. This isn't the Star Wars we know, this is Disney's portrayal of what they wanted Star Wars to be.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie would be fine if it was the first of an original series. Unfortunately, it follows 7 previous movies in the same universe with over 40 years of lore and connected story. You would think that being a middle film in a trilogy that plot points and character development would be carefully considered to connect the previous film and leave something worth following in the final film. Apparently, Rian Johnson didn't really care about the trilogy as a whole and forgot where he fits in the series as well as the new trilogy. Subverting expectations is exactly what he did by making choices that oppose a logical person's expectation for a congruent story. Sure its bold and also very stupid. Now we have a movie that leaves a dud for every interesting build up from the previous movie and leaves nothing for the final movie to go on. We have a new powerful villain....actually he was nothing. Well then maybe Kilo Ren will set up to be the evil villian....actually no he is force flirting with Ray and even takes her side in a fight. The theme of letting the pass die because both sides are equally bad. Sure, the empire who committed genocide by blowing up entire planets is the same as the Jedi letting Palpatine rise to power because they didn't know he was evil. I guess there are good people on both sides. There has to be a reason why Ray is so powerful....actually no, her parents are nothing and she is not special. Which could be intriguing if we didn't have 40 years of story that emphasized the connection between linage and force power. Here is a little note for that...your audience will feel cheated when you set up a fictional world with established rules and then break those rules just to do it. Let just make everyone in Harry Potter, even muggles, just as powerful as Harry because it doesn't matter who your parents are. Just because you think its a positive moral message to children doesn't mean it makes sense to an established franchise. So the expectations have been subverted. So we are left with a movie where the main character spends most of the time on an island with a Jedi master who doesn't want anything to do with her or the doctrine he spent his life pursuing. We have a confused villain who isn't sure if hes bad or just a damaged boy with daddy issues. And the rest of the movie is the rebellion slowly wasting fuel while the first order is just waiting for them to run out of fuel. I wont even comment on the Casino planet scene that subverted all expectations that it would matter to the story at all. Anyway,here are a few subverted expectations that could have worked. Not having tired, forced, and cliche romantic interests for main characters. Apparently, Rian Johnson gets character tropes from his favorite young adult novels. Instead of Luke hating everything that the Jedi stands for because he failed one student, have him overcome his self guilt to regain a sense of purpose. Give Rose and her sister at least 1 scene together to give the audience a reason to care for their relationship. Better yet, let Rose sacrifice herself, like her sister did in the beginning, by knocking Finn out of the way and flying herself into the laser at the end. Maybe that would make the audience actually like her character. Give a reason why Ray is so powerful with the force given her parents were nothing. I'm not against the idea that linage has nothing to do with it but a bit of context would probably help if you want to insert concepts that go against well established lore. Establish a true protagonist. Give Snoke a backstory, or kill him off and make Kilo Ren something to be feared. They could have made General Hux the main villain, except he became everyone's punching bag. What about the knights of Ren? Nah, that set up was too good and interesting but it doesn't subvert expectations. Instead of Leia having that laughable Mary Poppins moment, don't have that. If we are just throwing stuff in the movie that doesn't make sense, at least give Luke a better death then force projecting himself and dying alone on that island. Why not have him show up in person and taking on the first order by himself. Its obvious that the movie doesn't want to follow the rules anyway, let Luke hug his sister in person one last time and have one last over the top, badass moment. Sure, but instead of having him really show up, we can subvert expectations and spoon feed the audience with obvious clues to lead them to the fact that he isn't actually there. In conclusion, I have two explanations of why this movie made the choices that it did. Either, Rian Johnson took the few criticisms for the Force Awakens of having similarities to the original series so seriously that every decision that he made involved subverting expectations to the point of ruining the whole trilogy. Or, he hates JJ so much that he set him up for complete failure. Either or, the audience and the franchise are the ones who have to endure the disappointment. Expand

Slow enough you can leave, get a parking ticket, and catch back up. My husband fell asleep during sub-plot, which ended up being irrelevant. If you have not seen this movie yet, I recommend you watch the original trilogy first, because it's better. If you've seen that, then watch The Force Awakens. And if you liked that, then watch Rise of Skywalker. Just skip this one altogether. What you imagine is between episodes 7 and 9 will be better than what was actually shown in theaters.

It has no regard for writing a good story and creating any sense of believability. Out of no where pops the emperor, and out of no where pops the largest fleet of star destroyers. It's hard to fathom how so many special effects that cost millions could not help make this movie less painful to watch. This needed to be directed by Rogue One's director who seems to be the only person left that knows how to make a starwars movie, or collin treverrow. I was so please to hear he was the director considered he made the movie "safety not guaranteed" and considering how the movie turned out, I find it makes sense why he quit due to creative differences and tried to distance himself from this garbage.

It's fair to say that this movie is a point at which "Disney's Star Wars" went sour. While "TFA" was a safe but competent movie, "TLJ" is the exact opposite. It's a messy and - at some points, bad film, that toys with a few interesting concepts and ideas - but ends up going nowhere. It's a shame really, because Rian Johnson does know how to tell a good story. And yet there's no denying this movie is an absolut distaster except for the great cinematography. Expand

I reallyAs I've said before, we're not all film critics, and listening to whatever someone says online about a film and treat it as fact. I definitely enjoyed this film. Not my favorite in the sequel trilogy, but an enjoyable film overall. I really do wish they had explored Rose more, and that the casino scenes were a bit more fleshed out. The loss of the Admiral was truly painful for me, and it did suffer from the same problem all of the second movies in each Star Wars trilogy suffer: long, drawn out scenes that otherwise feel less important to the story overall. Personally, I don't see the reason for the insane hate for this movie, especially when Episode 2 exists. Could it have been better? Sure, but so can every Star Wars film. And for those who have complained about politics, every Star Wars film contains political themes going back to the originals, so saying that this movie has made Star Wars "political" shows how little people pay attention to history and film. Overall, I liked this movie. It didn't blow me away, but it was interesting, and the ways they really explored the force reminded me of Episode 5 with Yoda. It's definitely not Episode 5, but it's good. Expand

2, Unlike New Hope, Revenge of the Sith and laterally ANY old star wars movies, if you kill a jedi, YOU ACTUALLY STABBED THROUGH jedi with a lightsaber. NOT some stupid naruto-style shadowclone or whatever the crap it is.
3, Ryan Johnson made Luke Skywalker a BIG whiny little girl. Luke would have kept on fighting and trying to save the rebels. Ryan Jonson, next to Disney, you are THE worst star wars director EVER and should stay 5,000 feet away from ANY star wars project.

Conflicts get resolved too easily. We have no sense of peril. The story is allowed to meander off to a completely unrelated planet by a cheap mechanism of buying time for the doomed rebellion for no valid reason, then conflicts just resolve. What's most important: to be a member of the First Order the first criteria is to be incredibly dumb. Dumb villains eliminate any sense of danger. It is fun while you're there, but the WTF hangover the next day is enormous. Expand

That's why movies like Rogue One or The Force Awakens works consistently well with the mainstream and fans equally. The characters do shine to an extent alongside copious amount of twists and moments, but leaves room for demanding more on some of them (Finn and Poe) as seemingly wasted potentials. A precedent for fan hatred and it is explanatory. The pacing had its issues during the first act and felt dragging towards the last act which did take me out of the movie, warranting a shorter feature without skipping the pivotal and titular segments in it.

The Last jedi has more humor than Space Balls. Is it bad to laugh? Were the jokes bad? No, but who wants to see basketball at a football match?

They tried to create something new without nostalgia effect. Mission accomplished. That's good.

Next time, instead of building a romance scene between 2 characters, who never met before in episode vii and didn't even really spent time together in episode viii, and slapstick every second scene, work on the plot. Many questions are unanswered.

I don't think I have ever been as disappointed in a film as I was when leaving the cinema after seeing The Last Jedi.

The Pros

-Kylo Ren was a genuinely interesting character and the actor did a great job in portraying his battle between the dark and the light.

-Carrie Fisher delivers a brilliant performance.

-One or two moments when the film manages to recreate the magic of Star Wars

The cons

-Many boring characters that serve no purpose to the plot.

-Complete disregard to the universe and rules established by previous movies.

-Plot lines that end up being inconsequential to story.

-The art direction and cinematography moves away from any other star wars film.

-The humor is very "marvel like" every character has to have several one liners that take away from the seriousness of the story.

-Unlike any other star wars movie.



Conclusion

If you are a fan of The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy then you might enjoy this film, however if you are looking for a good Star Wars movie then I'm afraid that "This isn't the film you're looking for

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve written, deleted, and rewritten more lines of this review than I care to recall. The opening lines most of all. My goal was to approach this with a level head rather than give into the pointless rage that seems to be gripping many reviewers. There’s plenty to be angry about, after all. But the more I reflected on it the more it became clear that I don’t feel anger at all. I feel sadness. The Last Jedi broke my heart.

Rian Johnson wanted to take Star Wars in a new direction. I don’t fault him or Disney for that. This is not the first time that changes have enraged a fandom. It certainly won’t be the last. But this shift is not merely a change in scope or some bold new direction for the franchise. It’s a bellwether for Disney’s vision of the future. It’s the death of Star Wars as we knew it.

Just like thousands of others, I’ve enumerated my very own list of things that put me off about TLJ. But rather than nail my grievances to the Internet like the Martin Luther of Nerds, I think the most important thing to do is to add context to all the complaints about the “tone” of the movie.

Abrams and Johnson delivered starkly different messages with their films. Abrams tells audiences that The Force Awakens will “begin to make things right” and that what made Star Wars special can be reclaimed by a new generation. Conversely, Johnson urges the audience to forge a new path toward the future. Rather than build upon Abram’s foundation he declares with The Last Jedi that the past must be left behind. It’s true that Abrams rehashed most of the major themes of the original trilogy in Episode VII. TFA didn’t have an original plot. But it used that familiar structure to introduce new characters that felt like a part of the Star Wars universe. Those characters had the potential to organically evolve the franchise over the course of a trilogy. JJ handled the lore with care, like something sacred. He preserved the soul of Star Wars.

Johnson took an aggressive opposition to Abrams’ approach. He brought his audience a more original core story, but chose to undermine Star Wars tropes in favor of a harried race toward the future. He treated the groundwork of The Force Awakens as a list of plot points to clean up rather than as a launch pad for rising action. He made choices that forever closed the doors that Abrams opened.

The best example of this is in the treatment of Anakin’s lightsaber. In The Force Awakens it is a character. It carries weight and guides the action. It acts as a reminder of a tragic past as well as the catalyst for a bright future. For the last two years it has been frozen in time, waiting in Rey’s outstretched hand as her training in the ways of The Force is just about to begin… only to be treated as a slapstick punchline in the end.

I laughed in the theater when Luke tossed his father’s lightsaber over his shoulder. I wanted to find humor in it. Maybe there would be a lesson? Perhaps a Yoda-esque farce? But like most of The Last Jedi, it was an empty action; a cheap subversion of expectations. From that moment the lightsaber was simply a prop. Its role in Luke’s life barely acknowledged. Its thrall over Rey forgotten. The details of its recovery left to some future spin off movie. Where Abrams saw meaning and nuance in the rich history of Anakin’s lightsaber, Johnson saw a brutal laser sword that tethered him to someone else’s narrative. The destruction of Anakin’s lightsaber was not poetic. It was not a symbol for the conflict between Rey and Kylo Ren. It was a message: what came before is ended.

I’m not angry at Rian Johnson. I’m not angry at Disney. I’m sad that The Force Awakens was a one-off. It was a “Star Wars Story.” Its questions will never have answers. In the end it didn’t make things right at all.

Its overloaded with action scenes, that while admittedly very pretty, leave little time for character development among the new cast. I expected and accepted that as never ending action seems to be a hallmark of all things high budget and Hollywood these days but certainly the most egregious trait this film has in common with the marvel franchise is the low brow, for lack of a better word stupid, humor that does not fit with the film and really breaks the 4th wall in its absurdity. that, the overall plot direction, and some out of place cutesy little alien critters that I'm sure Disney is producing in plush doll form by the millions as we speak, sums up my complaints. Apart from all that it has some truly surprising twists and we get to see Mark Hamil again, so although I have my complaints and completely dislike the direction this new series has gone I would say its worth a watch, and I do mean a "watch" singular. A second viewing or buying of the movie? certainly not. Expand

The shields would bever had lasted that long. Oh but ofc, the novelisation says it's a new prototype because the somehow have to fix their mess, right? Now they just have a shield that last 30 times longer. Way to many new, unlikeable, boring characters, no continuity about rey as character, snoke is really wack and it should've been a lot more about him. I get that Kylo was supposed to be the main villain but tros totally ignores that and brings Palpatine back so there's no continuity and luke's character is totally out of place as it ruins his ending in rotj and ruins his destiny to build up the new jedi order as true peacekeepers. The only good things about this movie is the acting, the music and porgs. Expand
