This movie is like a great soap opera you can watch it a zillion times and some will never get bored , is fun, enjoyable but yet is like the same story repeating itself differently, is at the same time fresh and rusty. It has is awesomeThis movie is like a great soap opera you can watch it a zillion times and some will never get bored , is fun, enjoyable but yet is like the same story repeating itself differently, is at the same time fresh and rusty. It has is awesome moments along with flat ones too, I left the room feeling the movie had many loopholes that some of us noticed and some were oblivious about it. Last Jedi is certainly a polarized movie at different levels, I am bit surprised that critics gave such an excellent rate, perhaps they don’t like to criticize or diminish the quality of Disney’s work by some mysterious reasons. I feel that if you want a heroine to be the star of this movie perhaps Disney can consider a female director that would be more in tune with Rey’s character like Patty Jenkis did for Wonder Woman.

Brilliantly plotted. The fact some people hate it is a badge of honor. Some of the best moments in the entire series are in this one.

When you make a movie, the decisions are yours to make so I can't argue with any direction the writing team have decided to take regarding the characters BUT...

It has to make sense! Decisions need to be earned or explained. Say what you want about the prequels, they had a lot of problems, but the overall story made sense. The Last Jedi's main plot is the worst Star Wars story ever told. It wouldn't even make a bad Clone Wars episode. At least 30 minutes of this movie is dedicated to a weird, useless subplot. In a 2h30min, this time would've been better invested in making characters richer and deeper and taking the time to investigate their motivations.

Adam Driver's Kylo Ren is the only redeeming factor in this movie and the only main character who's motivations make sense.

All and all, this isn't a terrible movie. It's a fun movie with bad lazy writing. Star Wars deserves better.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not my Star Wars... Still, a good film for the new generation.

I liked: Yoda!, the Kylo/Rey duo fight scene, the sunset scene and the awesome soundtrack.

I disliked: almost everything else, poor dialogue, convoluted story with unnecessary subplots, god-awful "dad humor".

They had the chance to make this a really strong, dark movie, but they decided to go just full Disney.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was OK but way too long (it's more a 5.5 for me) ! The whole "casino planet" scene should have been cut It just didn't bring anything to the story. Ask yourself: if the scene wasn't in the movie, will it change the story ? The answer is no. I think that scene was made only to plug Benicio del Toro character in the movie because the studio said: - Guys, we have Benicio del Toro for the next Star Wars movie you have to find a way to put him in the movie.
- But he's irrelevant to the plot.
- Don't care ! We have Benicio del effing Toro for Star Wars find a way !
So they create the whole casino mission for that purpose... at least, that's how it felt since this whole part of the movie is completely meaningless. Then there's Rose... wow. She just need to go for the next movie, like kill or severely injured her in a battle after the opening credits so she won't be able to intervene in anyway, whatsoever, in the story. Just felt like they forced the character on the public and it didn't connect. Ok, now there's those little hamster-owl thingies... obviously a cash grab for movie merchandise. Again, they didn't bring ANYTHING to the movie, the only serve as a marketing tool for their plush toys. I see you coming: but they were Ewoks, rancor monster or wampas in other Star Wars movies, but they served a purpose to the story: Ewoks played a key role in the battle of Endor, the rancor led to the Sarlacc pit battle where the gang is reunited and Luke use his force power for the first time in the wampa cave and encountered Obi-Wan ghost outside.
I won't give a failing mark for the Last Jedi it's still an ok movie. Remove Rose and the Casino planet subplot and I'll give it a 8 easily. Rey and Kylo teaming up against Snoke Preatorian guards is awesome, Luke's final battle, the questioning around the role of Jedi and the debate surrounding them etc. Excellent musical score, like always and great visual effects to support the Star Wars universe. I have a question though: what the hell happened to the Y-Wing bombers ? I think they would have made a better job than the extremely slow and shieldless bombers (whose gunners are quite incompetent from what I saw) from that movie don't you think ? Anyway, the Last Jedi is far from being a great Star Wars movie. Let's hope Disney learned from those mistakes for Episode IX, because the Star Wars universe deserve way better and has a lot more potential than that.

PS: English is a second language to me, so they might be a lot of typos in that review.

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

Excellent, one of my favourites from the franchise so far.

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' makes for an exciting 152 minutes! Sure it probably could've been a little shorter, but at no point did I personally feel it drag. The cast give great performances, while the music and whole look of the film is extremely pleasant.

Daisy Ridley and John Boyega do their thing and are enjoyable once again, Ridley particularly impressed me. I also like Adam Driver in this, while it's always pleasing to see Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher involved. As for newcomers, Benicio del Toro and Kelly Marie Tran stand out.

There are also some incredible shots, the entire sequence at the end thrilled me - there's a particular part involving Laura Dern (even if her character, overall, isn't all that good) that looks utterly superb.

All in all, I felt very satisfied and very entertained after watching this. Quality film, in my eyes anyway.

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

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

Resistance is on the brink of destruction. And again, a distant, distant galaxy. Luke Skywalker returns after a huge number of years, back to the screens, and it's hard to judge whether it turned out well or badly. The film itself was shot perfectly, the script also turned out to be fascinating and almost 2 and a half hours fly by unnoticed. What caught my eye was stupid and unnecessary jokes in many places. When the intensity of passions seems to be already at the limit and such a joke flies out and immediately everything goes out. Otherwise, The Last Jedi is a good continuation of the franchise with, as always, a lot of fights and various planets with creatures. Expand

NO SPOILER REVIEW

First off, I think this film needs to be judged on two merits; one being a film made to entertain and the other being a Star Wars film made to continue an established narrative. This is where the divide is created between the two audiences and why the disparity of reviews exists.

Judging the film as a product, purely to entertain and turn a profit for the studio; The Last Jedi couldn't have done a better job (it is Disney after all). However, as a Star Wars film that continues it's now epic saga; it falls rather flat on its face.

AS A STAND ALONE FILM: 7/10

The Last Jedi presents a serviceable plot with interesting and memorable characters, be it for their personalities, striking designs or otherwise memorable quips and development throughout the film. The cinematography is stunning at times and can command your attention effortlessly; which should not come as a surprise from a huge budget production. The cast also delivers some fantastic performances, such as Adam Drivers role of Kylo Ren and Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker to name a couple.

The writing however, feels conflicted at times, with the film struggling to be decisive about what genre it wants to be; with some displays of awkward comedy, as if to appeal to an audience with little attention spans. It's cheesy, feeling like a parody or comedy sketch at times that overstays it's welcome. That aside, the plot is coherent but isn't afraid to deviate to challenge the audience and defy predictions; it keeps things rolling and builds tension. The characters for the most part, felt genuine and had clear priorities and goals, all done without lengthy exposition that interrupts the main plot; although it is worth noting that the sub-plot to this film is an inverse of that statement, ultimately being shallow and a clear case of raising social awareness with barely any subtlety involved; leaving the impression that the audience is unable to decipher hidden meanings and nods to real world conflicts/issues.

Overall, The Last Jedi is a solid film that can entertain and appeal to a wide audience; with stunning visuals and great performances held together by a captivating narrative.

AS A STAR WARS FILM 3/10

If you want to know my credibility, I grew up on the original movies and have seen the prequels as well as the animated "Clones Wars" TV show and was an avid player of Star Wars Battlefront (the PS2 versions (the good ones)) I'm not a rabid fan, but I respect the series and enjoy what it offers. This film, however, is easily the worst and I don't think many should be surprised, even compared to Episode VII and Rouge One.

It's a mess of in your face politics, pretty lights and colors and of course; marketable cute background props. Episode VII wanted to reinvent classic Star Wars for the modern era, whereas Episode VIII wants to sweep it all under the rug. "Let the past die, kill it if you have to" -Kylo Ren, TLJ Trailer. It's an obvious middle finger to the fans of the franchise and from an artistic point of view, it's murder suicide. The political side, ruins the film and has no place in a "science FICTION" production; and I've heard the "feminist propaganda" label being thrown at this movie, but in all honesty I liked Rae. Seeing women as leads in huge productions is a nice change; just very disappointing that they are done with so low effort and can be forced to meet a diversity quota. Again, REAL world politics has no place in a FICTIONAL world people look to, to escape reality. The plot makes little sense when previous installments are factored in. (Minor spoilers ahead) The First Order from Episode VII are here, but for some reason are stronger and more powerful, which makes no sense; as the empire were fractured after Episode VI and then the first order rose from the ashes and got king hit in Episode VII but yet STILL out number and out gun the "resistance" by Episode VIII. At this rate, the First Order/Empire may as well be that kid on the playground that always had a trump card for everything during imaginary play time.

Then there's Luke Skywalker who has transitioned between films (off screen mind you) into the very opposite of his original character; Rae may as well have not even trained to be a Jedi since she's essentially a Jedi master after a couple of on screen minutes of training and Leia, well, you'll just have to see the movie. Meanwhile the rest of the cast are ultimately throwaways bar Kylo Ren who is more or less the same as he was in Episode VIII.

As a Star Wars film, it feels like a compilation of Saturday Night Live sketches and fan fiction that tries so hard to go against the norm to be original but forgets that "new" does not always equal "good".

Overall, disappointing and a deterant to see any future Star Wars films

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although it wasn't necessarily a bad movie, it falls severely low of expectations in terms of writing. The movie is riddled with plot holes or stupidity that detract from its overall authenticity, such as when Admiral Holdo decides to not tell Poe her plan for no apparent reason, causing him to mutiny. A 1/3 of the movie rested on this one plot point, making it seem a bit stupid. Some characters, such as Admiral Holdo, were superfluous, as she just sacrifices herself by ramming the First Order's command ship. This felt forced and unnatural, as it feels like this could have been done with an autopilot, making the movie less enjoyable. This could have also been done by a more established character, such as Admiral Ackbar, as this would have had a deeper emotional impact on the audience, as Holdo wasn't around long enough and didn't do anything to gain the audience's sympathy.

The movie also inserts political themes, such as animal cruelty and the arms trade, crudely, by simply stating them as wrong instead of showing their negative effects and letting the audience draw their own conclusions, such as in the Casino scene on Canto Bight. This destroys any tension that had previously been built up and breaks the pace of the movie, making it much less enjoyable to watch.

Many people were upset about the revelation that Rey's parents were scavengers. Although I personally think this sent a good message and made the Star Wars universe feel less small, the writers break the principle of Chekhov's gun, as Rey's lineage was repeatedly hinted as being significant in TFA. This makes the reveal unsatisfying for the audience. Philosophically, the way the Force was implemented was flawed. The movie stated that as one side of the Force grows stronger, the other will automatically grow with it, which is the reason given for why Rey is so powerful. This means that, ultimately, nothing any of the characters do matters, as the Force will simply empower the opposite side to balance itself out, removing any significance any individual’s actions have. This also raises the question of whether any of the characters have any real free will, as the Force is using them to be in equilibrium. This removes any weight from Rey’s or Kylo’s decisions, as it is implied that this is the Force’s will, so it is inevitable.

All in all, the Last Jedi could have been worse, but the story and the themes it was exploring were deeply flawed in both concept and execution.

Grey area is something you don't see in Star Wars and it was great so that being the link between Kylo and Rey was something that I thought was very interesting. The other part of the film is complete rubbish. It felt like they didn't know what to do with other characters. The whole casino sequence and everything that those characters were doing felt like a silly distraction. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My favorite of the sequel trilogy... it isn't the best of course and the it is a bit of a mess. Rian Johnson's take on Star Wars was an interesting one. The characters are mostly okay, but Vice-Admiral Holdo was such a **** that assumed she knew who Poe was just by one event made me want to stab her. Rose Tico was a character I liked at first, but then I realized she didn't save the slave kids on Canto Bight and instead only freed the animals. Why didn't Finn do anything about the enslaved kids? Finn feels like a guy who would have freed them, considering his background. However, though some scenes don't make scientific sense, it's still Star Wars and it was fun for me to watch. General Hux is a stupid sand bag though. I liked Kylo Ren and his scene where he destroyed the mask. Adam Driver portrays Kylo very well and Kylo's dialogue always feel good to me. The Rise of Skywalker having Kylo Ren have his mask again didn't make sense to me because in this movie he makes a huge point that he outgrew it. Anyway, Luke Skywalker... I was fine with how he was in the movie and I thought it made sense. Mark Hamill did an amazing job and his scene with Yoda made me happy. I know the fight scenes weren't super good, but I still really liked them. I wish more questions were answered in this movie, but it was what it was. I liked it. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Polarizing and audacious. I like all aspects of Ep 8 except for the over density of the script, resulting in an unjustifiably longest Star Wars film to date. Fans didn't get the flavor of ice cream they wanted, still tasted fine. Not going to throw a tantrum about it.. Expand

No one has understood what Star Wars truly is since George Lucas better than Rian Johnson. The only bad thing is that the movie ends. And the casino part. Nevertheless the epicness, the characters, all is done justice.

People **** that Luke is not Luke and his entire arc in the movie is that HE IS COMING BACK AROUND TO BEING LUKE. Media literacy is at an all time low. Anyway, good movie. Best Star Wars movie after Empire etc, etc.

Yes, the movie has plot holes, yes it makes you suspend your disbelief too many times, I myself can even say I had some issues with it as I walked out of the theater and my nitpicks kept going on the next day. But overall, I was more than satisfied with what I got: a thrilling Star Wars movie that never has a dull moment.

In the group of friends I went to see this with, one of them had only seen a few Star Wars movies fully in her life, but her favorite character of the saga is Jar Jar Binks. Freaking Jar Jar! But she absolutely enjoyed The Last Jedi. That’s right: a non-fan thought the movie being mercilessly attacked by its most committed followers was great. If you ask me, I say that’s proof enough that Star Wars: The Last Jedi succeeds all it intended to accomplish.

First off, the bad. The amount of humor put in throughout the movie is way too excessive. The Force Awakens, pulled off some phenomenal humor but still knew when to be serious. This time around, the jokes are constant, even hurting the most touching moments with a quick snarky one-liner. It certainly succeeded in making me laugh quite a lot, but the already emotionally powerful story could have been so much greater without the Porgs.

With the characters themselves, their arcs are not as fully realized as they could have been. Finn’s arc could have been so effective here like how it was in The Force Awakens, but instead he’s pretty much just there to exist and move the plot along. He shares a weak romantic subplot with a new character, a young, eager member of the Resistance named Rose, who’s just there really to deliver the message in the end.

Then there are the other old flaws of the entire Star Wars franchise, such as expositiony dialogue, but newer flaws are unique to just this movie. One scene features a new world that looks like a steampunk Great Gatsby with a casino setting that feels very out of place for Star Wars, it’s literally another Cantina scene. So basically, I understand the hate from old fans: it’s difference in style alters what’s already established. But different is good! With everything this movie does wrong, there’s just as much, possibly more, that it does right!

First of all, the look to the film is gritty yet stellar. The casino looks lavish with spice while the space battles above the civil life bombards with grand explosions. The world of Ahch-To is absolutely gorgeous with its design of the strange life that lives there. It always seems to rain there, even when it isn’t, which complements the condition of Luke’s damp relationship with the force. A new planet with a crystalline design holds the base for the final battle, and it’s a visual splendor to watch as the ships glide over a vast salt bed over red dust. Beneath the surface of this planet, a space battle takes itself down under through a crimson geode. Even in the throne room of Supreme Leader Snoke, pure red overpowers the screen.

The much more intimate moments had so many moments when I held my breath in shock and anticipation, questioning what will happen. What helps is not just the question as to who Rey’s parents are or stuff like that, but the kinesthetic relationships with some of the more prevalent characters. While some of the character relationships needed work, others, such as the force sensitive bond between Rey and Kylo Ren, were mesmerizing to watch. You even get to see a bit more of Finn’s arc with Captain Phasma fulfilled in one awesome piece of combat! There are plenty of other lightsaber duels and battle sequences that are filled with fun moments and epic choreography.

I particularly like how Kylo Ren is far more complex than the typical bad guy, and you can see past his emo hair to empathize with the corrupted, scared little child he truly is. Rey’s little training sessions, as few as they are, also command your attention as Luke observes what she already knows, and how he in turn learns from her, a classic mentorship bond.

So guys, stop setting such unrealistically high expectations for Star Wars. All the flaws about this movie, as viable as they are, are not new to the entire Star Wars series. With all the fan theories and expanded universe that try to add ownership to the fictional world, we forgot one thing about this property we’ve now gotten so serious about: watching Star Wars is supposed to be fun! That’s what I did with my friends on Thursday night, we went to have a good time and we got it. I’m not usually one to tolerate talking during a movie, but I was sharing little verbal exchanges with my friend I was sitting next to while watching the movie, and we all cheered and laughed with the rest of the crowd. The result, we had a fun, memorable night that made my friend’s 25th birthday very special. So long story short, stop getting so worked up, have some fun!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, this movie doesn't deserve a 1 or 3 like some butthurt fanboys are giving. It has really bad moments but there are also breathtaking scenes, both direction-wise as fan service wise.

The reason why I didn’t like TLD that much: the movie basically said f*ck you to everything that episode VII and JJ Abrams was setting up.
Rey is a nobody, so what was the point of the force vision in TFA, why should I care about her? Snoke’s plot was a big thing for me. He had SO MUCH potential, if Rian Johnson cut the crappiest part of the movie (act 2 in that casino-like planet and that PETA bs with the Chinese Jar Jar) and gave us a flashback showing Snoke’s past, who is he, how he recruited Kylo and made him go to the Dark Side, why was he so powerful, how he build the First Order from the reminiscents of the Empire. WE GOT NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING. They killed Snoke in his second REAL appaearance in both episodes VII and VIII. Come on guys! You have **** Andy Serkis, a true legend and that’s all we got? Really? It seemed like Rian just wanted to clean up all of JJ Abrams work in TFA. It was a huge disappointment.
Now all I see is a very predictable plot in ep XIX. To be honest, I really don’t see that much material left to work with.
TLJ was a huge mess with some very good moments, like Yoda’s appearance, Luke’s last moment, the space battles, Poe’s character development, Rey’s relation with Luke, the cinemaography, this is hands down a gorgeous movie, and the best looking Star Wars. it introduces poorly developed characters that have no story at all instead of focusing on the characters TFA already established and needed further development (Snoke, Mas, Phasma, Hux, etc.). Instead of that horrible casino sequence, instead of Rose and DJ, why not try to develop more characters Rian already had? I would have love to see Mas’s story, her place in all of this, how she found Luke’s lightsaber. Phasma’s presence, once again, was useless.
Commander Holdo was a very good addition to the Star Wars movies, she was incredibly charismatic and I could perfectly see her replacing Leia’s post in ep XIX, being the leader that the Resistance needed so much and honoring Carrie Fisher’s legacy, but no, they killed her right away.

I got out of the session with mixed feelings, and I still need to rewatch it for a second time, but this is my opinion for now.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi was enjoyable on the surface, but like the previous episode it is full of huge plot coincidences, emotional misdirects, and masking humor. More fans are noticing this time and not giving it a pass. Disney has changed the philosophy of Star Wars which used to embrace a deep history and they are changing where the good guys and the bad guys want nothing to do with the past; they burn it down, run from it and diminish the old to prop up the new characters. The past is inconvenient to the movies because they do not know how to connect it to the present, and the movie does not want to bother with the past. And they want so badly to create their own Darth Vader, and give birth to the most powerful Jedi ever, they will pull everything down to force it to work. Star Wars fans want the history to be respected, understood, with some consistency of power and limits. The biggest complaint about the Last Jedi is many scenes and actions are reversed immediately; they constantly make someone die then not, or the hate someone then not, or turn dark then not. The movie is trying to be super tricky, as if to leave the door open for any possibility for any character. Therefore everyone is bipolar, except for Snoke he just was evil but wasted quickly. There should be no redemption for Kylo, but they probably will. Rey shows a lot of violent anger, and is open to the dark, but no she will be some super powerful grey jedi. I did enjoy Kylo and Rey fighting together but that also was reversed. Although I sort of enjoyed parts of the Last Jedi, the story leaves us with little; a small rebel group, like one First Order ship, and a war of no consequence. Luke was found after the whole first movie, but little pay off to the story. I am still hoping for some pay-off to show that the story was CRAFTED for more than a scene by scene basis, but it will be tough to write out of the corner they painted themselves into. I bet the next movie will take place years in the future, they will write out Leia, and that kid with the ring at the end will lead a new rebellion. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is no denying that Star Wars: The Last Jedi is one of the most hyped up movies of 2017, but there were several questions leading into it that many fans had. How would the change of directors affect the story? Would the film crew be able to adapt to Carrie Fisher's unexpected passing? Most of all, would episode 8 live up to the high expectations? Star Wars: The Last Jedi takes a lot of bold steps, sometimes not in the most clear direction. The movie essentially has two separate plots: one with Rey meeting the legendary Luke Skywalker, and the other featuring the Resistance as they attempt to evade the First Order yet again. One of the main problems lies in that the secondary plot with the Resistance has serious pacing issues, and does not seem be as satisfying as the moments we spend with Rey and Luke. I say satisfying because the entire point of the secondary plot with Finn and a new character, Rose, seems to have very little payoff, and is almost pointless with the exception of the last scene of the film. Their goal was to find a way to evade the First Order, and it ended up failing anyway. Rey and Luke is far more interesting, and it is great to see the chemistry between the characters, but the humor between them feels forced at times. The same humor incorporated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes back in The Last Jedi, and oftentimes it does not work. Must be a Disney thing. John Williams returns to compose the music for the film, and he does as great as ever. This might be one of the best sounding Star Wars films, and quite easily the best looking. The CGI and the cinematography are breathtaking.

Adam Driver reprises his role as Kylo Ren, and once again does a fantastic job. While fans seem to be split on whether or not Kylo is a strong villain, I believe he is one of the most compelling characters in all of the Star Wars movies. During the scenes where Kylo and Rey come into contact, physically or via some force projection, they steal the show. What I really liked with The Last Jedi is the departure from the conventional light versus dark side themes; instead, both Rey and Kylo experience inner turmoil as they grapple with what they believe is the right path. The psychological battles that both characters undergo are as intense as they are thematic. Kylo's relationship with Luke proves to be equally as intriguing, and learning about their backstory and how it led into the events of The Last Jedi further turned those conventional themes on their heads.

One of the most mysterious characters in the last film was Supreme Leader Snoke, and we finally get to see a physical character of him. Snoke is easily one of the most intriguing characters in the film. Unfortunately, we do not get to see much of him in the film, and after seeing the movie, we are unlikely to see any more of him, for better or worse. I understand the thought process behind Rian Johnson's decision regarding Snoke because it means we will see more of Kylo, but it all felt abrupt how they handled it. Another major character that was handled questionably was Princess Leia, who dies during a space battle, but returns to life by the force. Those who have paid attention during the previous Star Wars films knows Leia has a connection to the force through the Skywalker bloodline, but I do not understand why they brought her back considering the fact that Carrie Fisher passed away, and it has been stated that she will not be in the next movie at all. The only silver lining is we are treated to a reunion between Luke and Leia before the final battle, but even that could have been done in a different way somehow. Once the stories of Rey and the Resistance start to link up, the movie does pick up considerably, and the climax is coming up. Well, that is not entirely true. The movie still has about an hour to go, which is not a good sign for a movie being told concisely and put together well. I thought the movie had ended multiple times, but it kept going. The entire movie does feel messy, and while I love more Star Wars, I do not like a movie that has a lacking identity. Here I think lies the movie's biggest flaw: it tried to do a lot while really doing nothing. The movie could be cut considerably and it would still tell the same story essentially. There are some awkward moments, times where character rationales do not make a lot of sense, questionable decisions with major characters, and pacing issues, but overall these little problems are under the umbrella of the movie not being as concise as it should have been. A lot of the movie feels like filler, which means more Star Wars, but a worse movie.

Overall, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is an entertaining movie, but whether or not it is a "good" movie remains in question. This film will definitely leave fans debating and complaining. It seems that a lot of potential was unfulfilled, and I left the theater mildly satisfied. Now it is time to countdown to episode 9.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. despite all the negative reviews, this movie is actually really good. if you learn to look past your own expectations, you'll see that this is the logical progression of the star wars universe. After their defeat, the first order again goes on the hunt and destroys almost all of the resistance fleet. The good guys are on the run now and their last hope is Luke Skywalker. The thing with Luke in this movie is that he feels real. He doesn't feel like a soulless jedi knight like the prequels, but rather like an actual human being who faces regret and depression due to his past mistakes. He isn't the saving grace the resistance was hoping for, and it's up to Rey to convince him to return. He sees the potential that Rey possess and refuses to train her because he isn't afraid of her, he's afraid of himself. He knows that he won't be able to trust himself when training her, like his last encounter with Ben solo. Another thing this movie does really well is expand the character of kylo ren. He feels regret and is second guessing his action of killing his father, and snoke sees it. Kylo feels like a tortured soul in this movie, and the audience actually feels bad for this horrible person. I also really enjoyed the duel on crait. We get the big return of Luke, but not through his lightsaber abilities, but his connection to the force. There's a lot of hard decisions that were made in the creation of this movie, and I commend Rian Johnson for making a lot of the right choices. Unlike the other star wars movies that these 'die hard' fans scream about being the best, this movie has a moral. It shows us the cost of war, and how even though there's a winning side, there are companies and corporations that are winning even more.

With that being said, there are still some things I'd change about this movie. I love the inclusion of force ghost yoda, but the puppet looks a little off. Also, I feel like the death of phasma wasn't earned and felt a little forced.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is not a masterpiece. It's also not "destroying the franchise". The binary masses will not be swayed by this review either way, so I will not bother catering to them.

In my opinion there are a handful of breathtakingly fresh moments that scream the spectacle that Star Wars deserves. There is also a handful of goofy (I'm looking at you Leia), and unnecessary (I'm pretty sure the movie just cuts to an in-production James Bond movie half-way through) that serve little to no purpose in this story. Finn did not need to be in this story. That's basically a fact at this point. The movie was grasping trying to find something for him to do and the writers were too scared of simply not having Finn in this movie at all. That is what I feel is the weakest part of this film. It tries to appease everyone and loses focus as a result.

That being said, I think Po and Rey/Kylo's stories were great, and the high points of this movie were definitely worth the watch. Save Finn for his own movie and you got something special on your hands, but as it stands I would liken it to about Revenge of the Sith levels.

I certainly saw some problems and plot holes, but nothing more than were clearly visible in the original three. Thankfully, at least this movie decided to make all it's own plot holes and mistakes. It brought life to lifeless characters and gave a good death to Luke. While some are clearly upset that it did not meet their predictions, I was thrilled that it met none of mine and left me wondering often just what would happen next. IF this is only a trilogy I am very curious to see just how they will resolve this conflict between two totally rudderless force newbies in only one more film. If it goes more than that, well, I wouldn't mind it at all if they are able to keep things fresh like they did in this instalment. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's different, there are good moments, but there are bad moments. I recommend watching Vinesauce's review of the film as it gave me some insight I didn't think about. Action was great especially Luke vs Kylo, and Kylo + Rey v Snoke. I didn't really care about Snoke, but I'm really pissed off on how they handled Captain Phasma, she had so much potential to be the next Boba Fett, but she barely gets any screen time, wtf. CGI was okay but you can clearly tell that all of the creatures showed off in this movie were made clearly for merchandising, this may sound weird but we need more disgusting, ugly creatures in this movie, we need a new Jabba. The Leia space scene [kind of] makes sense but the execution of the scene was bizarre, uncomfortable and just **** stupid, probably one of the worst Star Wars scenes ever. The Finn & Rose subplot was filler, you could literally remove the subplot, hell, you could also even remove Rose from the movie and it would barely be different. The best scene of this movie for me was the light speed ramming, Holdo at first was an unlikable prick, but she redeemed herself when she went out in one of the most badass ways I've ever seen in a movie, ramming the Star Destroyer at light speed and the audio went completely silent, while this movie had one of the worst scenes in Star Wars, it also had one of the best. Yoda is also in the movie and he doesn't feel that forced, and he states to Luke that failure is the best teacher which would end up being a subtle theme throughout the whole film, everyone fails at one point in this movie. I found the movie enjoyable, and I would recommend watching it if you wanted to see something wildly different from Star Wars, this film felt like an experiment by Rian Johnson to me. I think this is better than The Force Awakens because of the amount of risks and experiments Johnson took making this film, it's a different from any other Star Wars movie I've seen, and I welcome that, especially in the current state of these types of movies.
Here's where I rank this film compared to the others from best to worst, keep in mind this is just an opinion.

Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
Rogue One
Return of the Jedi
The Last Jedi
The Force Awakens
Revenge of the Sith
The Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi was different. As usual, the visual effects are great. Many people have debated if it was a good movie, and if it's hard, then it's not a good movie. The plot was good, not great. The problem with The Force Awakens was it left people too many questions and much confusion. Nobody was like that for the original trilogy, and everyone enjoyed it. Also, some of the major points don't make sense. For example:
-Why Did Luke Die?
-Why Did Luke Change His Mind About Training Rey?
-Will the Jedi Die?
-Why is Rey so Good with the Force?
-Is Snoke Really Dead(like Darth Maul)?
-Did Yoda Use Force Lightning?
-What was the Point of Rey's 'Cave Mirror'?
-Couldn't Finn have used R2-D2 instead of Code Breaker?
-Why wasn't Poe told the Plan to Escape?
-Since When Could Leia use Force Powers?
-Nobody Told Rey Size Didn't Matter when it's the Force.
-Why are Porgs there?
-Why Did DJ Betray Finn?
-Was This Movie Just Copying the Original Movies?

The narrative jumps among several related plots, alternating fights and battles with moments of emotional drama. There are enough interesting effects and cute new creatures for the series to maintain its place as an innovator. Writer/director Rian Johnson has continued the legacy of compelling storytelling that keeps the films in our cultural spotlight. Those outside the fan base may be entertained, but those who love the Star Wars universe will find plenty to enjoy and cherish. Expand

The side stories,Star Wars Episode VIII is by some strange power on level with the prequels. While the reason for this isn't related to bad cgi or annoying characters there are still plenty of moments that lead to this film's downfall. The side stories, pacing and run time all lead to a horrid abomination of a film that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth of the viewer.

Most of the plot of the movie can be summarized in a few sentences. This is why the plot mostly revolves around side stories to pat the run time and add depth to the story. However Episode VIII creates these side stories in the worst way possible. Multiple sub plots in the movie lead to barely any actual effect in the story. Compared to previous films in the series where side plots are introduced these sub stories while intercepting never lead anywhere.

The second gripe I have with the movie is it's pacing and flow. When creating a story the plot needs to follow the basic formula. Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action and Conclusion. The flow of this movie feels more along the lines of Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, Climax, Falling Action, Climax, Conclusion. Overall The plot feels very misguided and leads into the worst part of the movie; the length.

Star Wars Episode VIII has the longest running time out of any Star Wars. At first this isn't so bad I mean hey long doesn't always mean bad just like how short doesn't mean rushed. But The Last Jedi is not long for the right reasons. The show feels like it's trying to fit in much more than it needs. It feels like the director is in a game where he has to give his work to another writer after 10 minutes. Eventually he has 1 minute left and scrambles to fit all of his remaining ideas left even though the story could have wrapped up 3 minutes ago. Overall the movie is very rushed and leaves you feeling like you just want it to end.

Now while all I've done so far is bash Episode VIII the movie is still fun; sometimes. The few fight scenes are entertaining. The jokes while mostly falling short are sometimes funny. And a few cgi creatures actually look appealing to the eye. The movie isn't the worst of 2017. By no means it's not even a bad movie it's just OK. Now don't get me wrong it's not one of those inoffensive movies that doesn't add or take away anything; far from it. Star Wars Episode VIII is extremely offensive at times but the action and plot changes spliced throughout the story keep it from dawning the rank of bad.

Including the prequels, despite the horrendous plot and dialogue. This film really dares me to consider continuing with the franchise anymore. From a plot that could've been avoided if the characters had talked to each other, to the sad portrayal and even slightly immature version of Luke. There is a lot to hate about it yes, but in order for this to be a proper review, I must bring up the good sides of the story. I did enjoy the cinematography on Crait and a very special scene between Luke and an 'Old Friend'.
Overall this film has a lot to fix and JJ is directing the next film so I say 'JJ, You're our only hope'.

It subverts your expectations. There are twists. Huge twists, even. Personally, I enjoyed it a lot.

We learn more about Kylo Ren and Luke in this movie. Kylo Ren has an interesting backstory. The Force is expanded upon and we learn about a new Force ability. There are a lot of action scenes. Very cool lightsaber scenes and space battle scenes, there's never a dull moment. There are some funny quips here and there, which I enjoyed. There were also some moments where I actually felt emotional.

All in all, I think The Last Jedi is a fun Star Wars movie. I've seen it multiple times and the more I see it, the more I seem to love it.

A gift we didn't ask for but didn't know we needed. Like how it's predecessor, TFA, reignited the charm and adventurous spirit of Star Wars, TLJ brought the drama and sense of wonder that makes the franchise so powerful.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion the Force Awakens was a safe and lazy attempt at pleasing fans who were still bitter over the prequels. The director of The Last Jedi had to take a pretty horrible start to the trilogy and try to make it fresh and interesting for this movie. While he does succeed at shaking things up, this movie is very jarring to watch. New ideas are introduced and then thrown away. There were two MAJOR questions brought up in the Force Awakens that are literally answered with bad jokes in this movie. As if to say **** you to the fan theorists out there. One of the new characters is completely useless, Finn is reduced to a secondary character with no purpose at all. And don't get me started on the subplots... the subplots are insanely frustrating to watch. They have no purpose, no real outcome and much of the movie is illogical. The only redeeming story lines are Rey and Kylo's relationship as well as Luke's introduction into his beliefs of the force. Other than that, the movie is paced and edited badly and there are MANY plotholes.

All that being said, the movie has some amazing visuals and cinematography. It probably has one of the best scenes in Star Wars history, and the ending is surprisingly cool and fun to watch. If you want to see some new ideas in the Star Wars universe, you got it, but dont be fooled. This film has some major issues (again mainly with pace and editing), but its better than the Force Awakens... by a longshot.

Rian Johnson un-apologetically changes the status quo of the Star Wars universe, and this is a good thing, despite the outraged longtime franchise fans who are mortified by the sudden death of Lord Smoke, felt that it wasn't their Luke they saw on screen, and were terrified by the change of pacing. All this though will pass, and it just proves to me that Abrems made the right decision on hitting the delete button on the old expanded Star Wars universe, which is a blessing and a curse here, it gives Johnson a clean slate to work with however the SWEU fans will refuse to forget. Now, I will be the to say that this is not a perfect movie (the could've cut the whole Finn/Rose story line, and not only would the whole outcome of the movies story been the same, but it would've cut about 45 minutes off the movies overly long run time which would've been for the better. Johnson has a bad habit of being more than a little heavy handed with injecting his politics into his projects and this is no exception, while I don't believe this to have been the appropriate time and place for him to have done so, I didn't let it ruin my experience however I could easily see how it would impact some opinions. The mix of CG and practical effects was well done here, though I felt the casino planet was pointless in terms of effecting the plot it did impress me, especially with the opening shot of the camera moving forward through the casino showing off how great of a job the make up department did here. The acting here was well done, and I must really give props to Mark Hammel who performed perfectly as a disgruntled Luke, seeing him with the Yoda puppet onscreen practically made this movie for me. If nothing else Episode VIII proves something I theorized years before its release, that is is possible for a movie in a franchise to be a technically speaking a great movie, but a bad movie for the franchise, even if (again technically speaking) the movie is one of the better movies of said franchise.

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

For me, I think the reason I initially didn't enjoy it was that my expectations of what I WANTED or WAS HOPING to see is not what I got to see. The story didn't go the way I wanted or was hoping for it to go, and as a result, there were characters I wanted to find out more about but didn't. I think that was the main thing. ONCE I PUT ASIDE MY OWN BS, I was able to watch this movie and really enjoy it. I think it is a good movie and addition in the SW franchise. I only wrote this review because it's roughly 2 to 1 negative reviews to positive reviews. I am just hoping that you, if you're reading this as a Star Wars fan, might read this, give it another shot, and be able to enjoy more Star Wars.
