I had to the say the best character's were Luke Skywalker , Leia Organa , Rey , Kylo Ren , Poe , DJ , Finn , and Admiral Holdo. The humor , the action , and the emotion in the Last Jedi is fantastic. It's not a perfect movie it has flaws like the casino scene and Snoke's death don't get me wrong that scene was amazing but now we don't get to know more about him which disappoints me. Overall this movie is fantastic definitely worth for your time. Definitely top 3 in my ranking.… Expand

Honestly it's a complete turn from typical genre film star wars to true art star wars, with a hopeful message and amazing visuals and choreography. Close to a perfect film.

It's amazing how many are saying (in Comic book nerd voice) "worst Star Wars movie ever"...really??? Expectations are always astronomical with a film like this and while I don't think it captured what TFA did, it does have a roller coaster of emotions and keeps you on the edge for most of the film. Star Wars has always been filled with one liners and humor in tense situations. People are acting like this is some new aspect that has tainted the series. Get a grip and come back to enjoying movies like you did when you were a child. It is seriously like no one is pleased with anything anymore and feel they could do it better and can't wait to feel validated with even more negativity on sites like these. Oh, and go see it because it's the most fun you will have at the theaters this year.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only the dudebros or the uneducated don't get this movie. It is a nuanced, intelligent film that has gone over the heads of, at this time of writing, 1,333 metacritic users. The complaints that the film is geared toward getting a broader audience demographic is sheer sexist nonsense from those who don't want to see women in power. The issues people have with Luke not coming out of retirement to laser-sword Snoke, Ben Solo, and the rest of the first order is a bunch of kids being butthurt that their fantasies haven't been fulfilled. They would set aside all of Luke's history - has lack of training, his stubbornness, his defeatism - and turn him into a powerhouse Jedi saviour. Well folks, it doesn't work that way. This movie captured his flaws perfectly and developed a reasonable outcome from those issues. Best movie of the new series so far and sets the universe up for an incredible finale in Star Wars 9.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rian Johnson successfully created a thrilling and suspense cinematic experience that are rare for huge franchise like this. The movie is filled with beautiful cinematic shots that are satisfying to watch in the theaters.

However, Star Wars 8 failed to tell a complete story. With some scene completely unnecessary, it destroyed the suspense that was built up, such as the Casino scene. The entire plot of Star Wars 8 alone is pretty shallow as they are trying to reveal everything in Star Wars 9, which is the last of the trilogy. However, this not only created a boring Star Wars 8 plot-wise, but will also cause Star Wars 9 to be too rushed to reveal everything. Not to mention that Kylo Ren is the weakest, least threatening villain of all Star Wars movies. Because of this, the movie lack of tension during the fight scene of Kylo Ren. Overall, it is an enjoyable movie, but definitely not as good as critics claimed.… Expand

"What are you looking at me for? Follow him!"

I think that line is what a lot of the haters of this film didn't got. Stop trying to get back to the past and accept the future. This movie is diferent from anything we've seen from this"What are you looking at me for? Follow him!"

I think that line is what a lot of the haters of this film didn't got. Stop trying to get back to the past and accept the future. This movie is diferent from anything we've seen from this franchise until now. Being the 9° film in a franchise and introducing new concepts is pretty bold. I admired that and i didn't have a problem with any of the new concepts so that helps.

Yep, i've gotta admit this movie is not perfect. Being Star Wars i can easily overlook some minor issues, like two or three lines that don't feel quite right, some underdeveloped characters or del Toro's stupid accent but it's a little difficult to overlook a whole sequence. The Canto Bight part felt kinda prequel-ish to me.

I belive i've never been as enthralled in film as when i first saw The Last Jedi. I don't recall feeling like this with any other film. I couldn't blink afraid to miss something. Every character interaction amazed me and when there was a big revelation i had butterflies in my stomach. This sent shivers down my spine countless times. I was dezzled- and actually, i still am.

On rewatch The Last Jedi is still amazing. Williams' score and Johnson's direction shine even more. This is Johnsson's expression, it's a piece of art. Some of what i felt the first time is lost, of course, that was something special and i hope i can feel that again with Episode XI or another film. Because that is why i watch movies. To feel. And this movie shook every bone in body and made feel through out every scene. This movie reminded me why i watch and love movies and my experience with it was really special.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On one level, I get where the backlash is coming from (it's at least partially bots), but the things that are upsetting some fans are why The Last Jedi works so well. The very first line in the previous movie was "this should begin to put things right" and Episode VII did just that. It was basically a remake, but it restored faith in a series that many had felt lost it's way with the prequels.

If you were to encapsulate this movie in a single line it would be "this isn't going to go how you think" and the movie opens by defying all expectations, where some of the first dialogue is one of our heroes making fun of one of our villains. We're basically picking up from right after where the last movie left us, with the Resistance abandoning their base as they're hunted down by the first order. After an exhilarating space battle, we pick up with Luke and Rey, on a remote island. It's not two seconds since the last movie ended, and once again, your expectations are challenged when Luke Skywalker takes his lightsaber and casually tosses it over his shoulder and goes back to being a hermit, despite Rey's insistence that he train her. The movie continues on like that through all kinds of major twists and turns, which eventually upend much of what was set up in the previous film and leaves us in a spot where we are set up to once again be surprised by whatever is in store for the next installment.… Expand

In my opinion, this is the best Star Wars movie outside the original three (Ep. 4-6). You can tell that Rian Johnson not only respects but appreciates the SW universe. The Last Jedi is close enough and pays enough homage to Empire that it feels comfortable or well known. Except it's not. It deviates in all the best ways becoming something almost entirely new. There are so many great SW stories out there and we're just beginning to scratch the surface of them. The future is very bright for SW with directors like these.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well i loved it, don't understand why its getting so much **** One of the best Star Wars film to date for me (I was not payed to say that). At its core its a story about hope.
Things i love; Kylo Rens progression in to one of the best villains in a movie i have seen for a long time. I can't wait to see more of him, Adam Driver was brilliant. Rey and Lukes scenes are excellent, i like how Luke is training her why not to be a Jedi. The space battles and fight chirography are insanely good; especially the scene were Kylo and Rey are fighting Snokes guard together. All the actors are brilliant, direction and cinematography were also awesome. Things i didn't like; Snoke, altough i loved how he met his end (his arrogance basically got him killed) you did't really find out who the hell he was. Phasma was sort of wasted villain as well, i think she needed much more screen time to grow. I think this film is getting to much criticism, Leia has also used the force many times before, a lot in a few of the books and in the previous films. Its not a stretch of the imagination that instincts took over at the point where she was about to die. I don't think it deserves a 0/10, (i say this a lot on metacritic) if you try hard enough you can find positives in any film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is a lot about this movie that many people do not understand. Some of them willfully so. This is a movie about guilt and doubt and fear, much like The Empire Strikes Back. Yet it also progresses the thematic content of the Star Wars franchise.

The reveal of Rey's parents is not just the writer/director trolling the audience, this has an important message. The idea that Star Wars should be about a super special lineage is extremely problematic. The idea that the Force is the power that connects everything is antithetical to this kind of power and authority through succession mentality. It's this very mentality, combined with his nature as a rageaholic bloodthirsty control freak, that makes Kylo Ren a true villain. And what this movie is saying is that Rey exists specifically to undermine that. Rey is the expression of the Force's will to say that ethos is wrong.… Expand

It felt good, it was intriguing even though that Rey still is a shallow character as in previous film and even though Kylo is so emotionally unstable that he would put Mel Gibson to shame, I liked his character. Biggest down side is the humour which reeks of Disney, and the fact that many questions have been left unanswered. Too many in fact.

1.this is the most visually stunning star wars film of all time, with great cinematography and epic action setpieces
2.the action sequences in this movie are mostly choreographed and filmed well (especially the lightsaber fight)
3.the special effects are done very well 4.the acting by the main characters is pretty good in this movie (especially Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver)

the bad
1. there are certain story threads and character arcs that ultimately do not add to the plot AT ALL and it just leaves me frustrated when what I've witnessed for the last close to half hour doesn't amount to ANYTHING
2. there are many plot holes in this film. one might wonder how so many people worked on the story (including the legendary Carrie Fisher) and they were still unable to contribute a logical storyline
3. some character motivations do not make sense in the least bit (y'all know what I'm talking about)

so in conclusion this definitely does not feel like the worst Star Wars movie ever made (which some people are claiming it to be) but this movie still does not live up to some of the high standards set by its predecessors. definitely an entertaining and well made (sort of) movie, but nothing mind-blowingly good enough to satisfy its entitled target demographic :)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All around, a good, but often messy film. There are about three different stories going on, that wouldn't be sufficient on their own, with Rey's jedi training, the empire looking to wipe out the rebels once and for all, and some girl who is a big fan of Finn "convincing" him to join her in a crazy coup attempt. The three sort of crutch each other and tie the plot together fine in the end. The movie does drag on, though, with Rey chasing Luke around for a while, trying to persuade Ren to join the rebels (not gonna happen), and trying to find the "master codebreaker" (I don't remember what they call him). That whole island detour is a little unnecessary... The ending scenes also seem somewhat unnecessary, but maybe they'll be put into perspective later on. The stopped suicide attempt seems a little unnecessary (though I do like Finn), especially if this is meant to introduce love drama (Finn, the girl, Rey, Poe...). Overall, a worthwhile watch for Star Wars fans, though they may be the most disappointed. For a non-fan, this is not a good standalone film. As far as comparisons to The Force Awakens, it's probably not so good, but not by much. That parallel storyline in TFA is somewhat annoying, whereas with this one, it's fresher and slightly more difficult to predict.

If you are a superfan looking for a deep-dive coda built on the foundations of 20th-century storytelling (i.e "the past"), you'll probably be disappointed and join in with multitude of negative, self-flagellating, mourning user reviews. But, if you a looking for an updated foundation for storytelling in the 21st-century, with fresh takes on heroes and villains, with some measure of ambiguity about who is which, then you should really enjoy this movie. Personally, I enjoyed the challenge of this story. My expectations were not always met in scene after scene. But there is so much now to build on in future installments. Remember how you used to love going to Sears stores back in the 1970s? They were full of cool things to see (Pong video games! Overstuffed plaid couches! Dishwashers with clear doors! Toughskins jeans!!). Well, nowadays you can sit at your desk and peruse through everything your heart might desire on Amazon, WalMart, or any one of hundreds of Websites. Which shopping experience do you prefer? Everything points to the fact that most Americans strongly prefer 21st-century Internet shopping to the 20th-century bricks-and-mortar experience. You wistfully wish for the past and the hustle and bustle of in-person shopping; you lament its passing. But then you fire up your iPhone and buy from the Internet retailers anyway. IMHO, that's whats going on with the newest episodes of Star Wars. Once you give them a chance and see the new storytelling twists and turns, you will see that it really is better now. The past was precious, but it is now in the past. Progress is good. And so is this movie.… Expand

I thought it was actually genius, the fact that it has managed to divide a community, split fans, and has become hauled as one of the worst star wars flicks is impressive, this film has stuck with me, personally, and is definitely one of the most philosophically rich and intriguing flicks in this franchise, and one of the most interesting flicks of the year due to reaction and the debate that it has raised. The script was strangely bold, and managed to break expectations, the actual character dynamics and developments of these characters are strange, completely unexpected, but honestly, greatly needed, in my opinion. I was quite taken back by the decisions that they went in. It's not necessarily the fact that it makes HUGE jumps thematically from the original franchise or the previous film, its still Star Wars, it still respects the old and plays to fan service...like every film in the franchise... It's more so the fact that it allows itself to take the past, take pre-assumed assumptions of how these characters should be, after all they have been through, and presents this strangely intriguing film about failure, and not being able to live up to expectations, or live up to the past, to slowly over time become overwhelmed by expectations and become disillusioned due to time, and to lose sight of what you originally set out to achieve. Failure is at the heart of the script, at the heart of these characters, they are failures, in the grand scale of this new error, we aren't seeing the stereotypical Hero's journey, these lines are slowly being crossed. I definitely agree this film is way too long, i definitely agree that the humor is average and pretty bad. And I agree that one of the narrative arcs is definitely terribly weak, and that it has issues in terms of pacing. But when Im reading comments complaining about Laura Dern's character having purple hair, when Im reading comments complaining about this absurd belief that the film is being POLITICALLY CORRECT i cringe. I can't even see how, or why, this would be the case. Its gross tbh. I definitely agree with many of the valid criticisms towards this flick, and agree 100% if u didn't enjoy it. Your entitled to your beliefs. But idk, being someone that never really loved Star Wars, I found this strangely poetic and relevant in terms of power dynamics and how things have currently been within these times that we are now living in. I even think the divisive reactions from fans are even more so enhancing the core themes of the flick.… Expand

I think TFA was a good movie – but it wasn't very original.

Rian Johnson did the only right thing but delivering a story that brings the franchise forward – and not by repeating it.

We already know the original trilogy, guys – let the past die. kill it if you have to!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "The Last Jedi" was a daring take on the Star Wars saga, something that has angered some so called "die hard" fans. Rest assured, "The Last Jedi" is NO "Phantom Menace", nor has any of the tedious writing or acting of any of the prequels, a fact that should be taken as a relief. Rian Johnson has taken some major risks with the Star Wars universe; we see a jaded, remorseful Luke Skywalker, living like a hermit on a far away planet. Quite the opposite from the optimistic and energetic Luke we last saw in "The Return Of The Jedi". So what happened? First and formost, he got old. Old people tend to be grumpier, right? Add a massive failure in trying to train a nephew who's gone to the dark side and depression will certainly sink in. Luke feels he has let down Leia, Han and his nephew Ben Solo (Kylo Ren) in a major way. Convince this same man that he needs to save the galaxy from the new empire, now called the "First Order" and things will not be easy. What "The Last Jedi" does is to hand down the baton to the next generation of characters in the Star Wars universe. It would be ridiculous to see Star Wars episode 99 and still wanting to see Chewie, Vader, C-3PO and all the characters we so much love. There has to be a continuation. Will I miss my favorite characters? Hell yes, but that's how life is when you lose a dear one. It's not like those Avenger movies where nobdoy dies and they all end up killing and winning over the bad guys. And those movies can get rebooted anyday because that's what comic book heroes are destined to be: and endless parade of reboots. To all those trolls hating "The Last Jedi", what did you expect? A reboot? Weren't you the ones who complained tha "The Force Awakens" was a disguise reboot of "A New Hope"??? And now that you have a different Star Wars episode you complain that it "deviates too much" from the core of Star Wars??? "The Last Jedi" is certainly NOT perfect: some scenes drag on too long in the middle act, the Canto Bight sequences looked borrowed from a Harry Potter movie (even John Williams score during this scenes sounds an awful lot like Harry Potter), some of the humour could've been toned down a bit and I could've done without that Princess Leia sequence trying to be a modern Mary Poppins force user, but in general, it was a great ride of a movie and it still is very much a Star Wars film. John Williams score is far more memorable here than in "The Force Awakens" (where only Rey's and Kylo's themes were the only things that stood out, beside the familiar themes). It's still not as dark as I thought it could be, despite some characters apparently passing away. The award for the darkest and bleakest of all Star Wars movies still goes to "Rogue One". I suggest you give "The Last Jedi" another watch. Star Wars movies are not a "I saw it once" affair to fully grasp everything's that's being thrown at us, information wise. With each viewing, certain things will start making more sense. That is, if you are truly a Star Wars fan, you'll see it more than once, and this humble review is aimed at those fans. Casual or fair weather fans need not to bother.… Expand

The fanbase's reaction to this movie isn't surprising, if you look at his work on Breaking Bad, Rian Johnson aggressively insists on giving audiences what they need, rather than what they want. Rather than attempting to replicate George Lucas, Johnson challenges the good versus evil storyline of the other Star Wars movies and the very notion of traditional heroism; it's everything Revenge of the Sith should have been and far, far more.… Expand

Rian Johnson is bound to serve as the punchline for every hardcore fan's joke over the next decade, as Lucas was for the Prequels. His ideas for the film and its characters are new and interesting, particularly Mark Hamill's Luke, who takes a unique path throughout the film that is different than expected. Does it work? Sort of. In fact, most of the new ideas do work, and expand Star Wars in new directions. But there are plenty of occurrences that left me disappointed. The Finn and Rose ark feels forced, and adds on an entire half-hour that proves to be unnecessary later on. A particular scene involving our princess Leia, played by the late Carrie Fisher, though somewhat awesome, feels bizarre. However, the most disappointing aspect, one that adds to my "terrible mess" conclusion, is that most of the questions left by The Force Awakens are ignored here. It seems that Johnson was focused more on providing something new than he was continuing the story. The technological elements of The Last Jedi are great, as expected, with some of the best CGI in recent memory, and great motion capture work from Andy Serkis. The cinematography is wonderful, Johnson's direction is fresh, and the performances are easily the best of the series - Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, and Mark Hamill especially. The Last Jedi is a great movie, just not a great Star Wars movie. It works most of the time, yet many plot points don't fit the world established by JJ Abrams, who will have a lot on his hands when making Episode 9.… Expand

The Last Jedi is an introduction to it's future. The Luke an Rey dynamic serves as smart-alecky way of outright bashing the perceptions and expectations fans have for what a Star Wars fan can be. Sometimes to the point of even spitting in our faces and quite frankly it's just what we needed. The movie defies expectations in several areas. You can still predict certain outcomes, but The Last Jedi has plenty of surprises in store.

The battle scenes are spectacular, the emotion is high, and the way it makes us question our heroes and our villains is exemplary. It's Star Wars film with some balls. The cinematography is nothing short of stunning. Adding a sense of beauty to those tense standoffs and set-pieces. The humor... is a bit much at first. Honestly, the way the film starts off with ridiculous humor taking center stage and a ridiculous scenario, it feels like a parody of a Star Wars film at first. It manages to find it's way before too long and the self-awareness and jokes get more comfortably integrated. Not before throwing some shade at The Force Awakens though.

It's a Star Wars film with some balls. It doesn't always deviate from the expected, leaves us with some unanswered questions, and gets off to a rough start. The humor can also clash with everything else happening onscreen rather garishly at times. Yet, there are still plenty of shocking moments, spectacular action scenes, a lot of heart, and some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in a movie. It pays tribute to the past while carving it's own path to the future. It's handling of the original Star Wars heroes is touching. One of the best films in the series.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the entire movie, and probably for the same reason that so many neckbeards hated it.

There may be slight spoilers, so read beyond this at your own peril.

Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely things they could have done better. Interactions that lasted a little too long or felt just a little off. However, the whole of the movie is far better then the parts say it should be. There are so many parts that are so good. However this review has to stay short so I will only cover four.

I love the fact that it destroyed the whole Skywalker bloodline as being the center of the movie and universe. The fact that Rey supposedly is not anyone special, that her family were just drunks means you don’t have to be a Solo or a Skywalker to have the Force choose you or to be able to wield it. Some say that isn’t what the movie says, but I just leave the example of the child at the end using the force to pick up the broom.

I love the fact that Kylo Ren is an obvious stand in for the whiney alt-right man babies. He whines about the same things and throws the same kind of fits. His callous disregard for Rey being uncomfortable with him being shirtless is just one small, tiny example that encapsulates the alt-right self-importance. The whole crying about remaking the empire sparks that same MAGA concept the racists/sexist crowd in real life spouts. It is perfect movie model of real life.

I also am ecstatic that it destroys the expanded universe of Star Wars. I am sorry everyone, but I am old enough to have read those books when they came out but the vast majority of them SUCKED. I mean absolutely sucked with no redeeming quality. I am glad to sacrifice the few good things to get rid of the rest of that garbage. I like that Disney is making a clean slate to entertain and tell a story about that universe, especially once SW IX is done.

However, the final part and best part is making space for people who aren’t white males as heroes and as the center of the story. This is coming from a white male, I am damn tired of the same old tired stories that don’t give everyone else a chance in the spotlight. I can easily watch and love something that has women, alternate orientations, and people of color as the stars. I can identify them as someone to look up to. This benefits everyone, gives us a richer field to choose movies from and puts everyone on the same footing. I look forward to more of this and I will happily spend my hard earned money supporting these ventures.

The good: The wide range of actors and actresses, the opening up of the universe, and just about everything SJW this movie does.

The bad: There were little things that bothered me, but nothing any other movie would have done. The biggest bad of this is having to wait 2 more years for SW IX.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In 1980, the audience shared a collective groan as the The Empire Strikes Back ended--three long years to wait before the next movie in the series. In retrospect, the movie became my personal favorite from the original trilogy. The Last Jedi will share a similar fate. Angry fans struggling to let go of heroes and ideas from the last millennium will eventually return to the movie and see its full value. 1) Luke was always flawed and whiny--return to those "Uncle Owens" in Episode IV. Han, Leia and Luke will not provide a solution--a new generation is necessary to find an ultimate solution and to continue the story. Let go. 2) The notion behind the force has always been complex and shared a diverse religious foundation. The notion of a Christian good and evil was always mixed with a Taoist notion of yin and yang. The Taoist leaning of The Last Jedi is consistent with the direction of The Clone Wars. Let go. 3) The capabilities of the force are not a known quantity confined by previous movies. Astral projection across the universe seems at least as plausible as immortality. Let go.… Expand

For a kid whose childhood was incredibly bad, sheThe Good, almost great: Female characters. Rae: The Last Jedi is a terrific depiction of a female heroine, she is true to herself. Can't elaborate with details - but I admire her choices. For a kid whose childhood was incredibly bad, she is incredibly resilient, believes in herself and makes decisions based in what she values, including herself. That's totally worth the entire film. My complaint is - she is ridiculously overpowered, a bit more training and deeper analysis of how this works with someone new would not go awry, think about it producers, please. Rose and her sister: Great characters, again terrific female characters. Lots of insight here and depth. I am not bothered by Rose and her interest, she is dealing with a lot and that informs her choices. As this develops I imagine there will be more nuanced choices made, she does not strike me as particularly reckless.
Leia and Rebellion Leaders: Wonderful to have female leaders, especially with competence. BUT A little heavy handed on the Resistance metaphor, seriously, I work in the current political resistance and felt this was just a little bit too much - even as it was deeply appreciated to see so many female leads - loved the emphasis on planning, patience and not on hotshot reckless crap. BUT Leia should have dressed Po down in private for his choices a bit more, she coddled him which makes no sense. And noone should wear long dresses in space, its just not practical for shifting gravity, blowing into space, infighting if you are boarded - it makes NO SENSE. Kylo Ren: I actually loved this character. He is also true to himself in good ways and bad. Most of these characters have depth, of the male characters Kylo/Ben appears to have the most depth and I enjoyed the gradual revelations of his character over the course of two movies and his relationship with Rae - in all its complexity. The Bad: Resistance ll's RESISTANCE: About the RESISTANCE metaphor, I carried a photo of Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia during the women's march in Oakland and SF so I get it but this was incredibly heavy handed in drawing its connections to the world of today. We were already there, you didn't have to work so hard, your viewers are not stupid, I was that little girl on Jakoo and the little boy in the stable - so I get needing hope. When you work this heavy its as if the curtain pulls back and I see the strings, try not to do that. Finn and Po: Getting better, although both could use more actual character development, the series has never been known for its depth but raise their insight scores, as they make some fairly bad choices based in self centered perspectives. Why let Po get away with killing so many? Not sure this is consistent with any military discipline, is that not a thing anymore? BUT also ... Not every mistake has to be made by a guy and not every shallow observation or thought has to originate with a guy. And while this was not entirely true, Kylo/Ben had some deep thoughts, the Rogue One characters were honestly better than this, take some authenticity from there. Luke Skywalker: Not a huge fan of this character, his wisdom is not incredibly high. Still I liked him better here overall, but was dissatisfied with his choices with Rae and his lack of insight and connection to her character - I expected more. His scenes with other significant SW characters were also dissatisfying and a bit inconsistent with the past. Luke went through some tough stuff, but I expected more wisdom and growth with age and was disappointed not to find it here in this film.
On another note ... Han was the hopeful one in the end, and that wasn't what I expected 40 years ago. BATTLES: Battles were better here overall, but NO Science in these BATTLES: Here is one of my most annoying issues. There is no gravity in space. Are the bombs magnetic? Why is the bomber so slow - it makes no sense when there is no "falling" in space, momentum yes, force yes, falling no. Why approach the ship on that axis? Again, the approach makes no sense for everyone to come at the ship in a single plane, its like they are lining up to be shot one after the other. Space has no up and down, battle scenes need to reflect that. Fix this, it literally takes us out of the action! Explosions in space, again, speak with scientists, battle scenes need to make sense. Loved the escape battle though, and the planet surface scuffles made more sense. BUT wow, these are far too conventional, I want to see more variety for a civilization that has advanced space travel and FTL. Overall, liked the movie a lot! One of my favorites of the franchise although Rogue One will always be my fave - its just more real, and made so many great choices. Can't wait for next movie! Please stop retreads: no more casino/cantina tropes. no more speeder chases if you can help it. LOVE the changes involving the force. Would love to see Rae understand balance can be grey.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I want to write a review because I enjoyed the movie a lot, as did almost all the critics, yet apparently the average reviewer here did not. I'm surprised by this. There are a lot of flaws with the movie, and there are plenty of reviews telling you all about them. I won't repeat those points here, though I agree with most of the complaints made. However, the movie also did a few essential things very well. For me TLJ was a great movie, far better than TFA and R1: films with fewer flaws that also did very little to advance the franchise. TLJ felt like a breathe of fresh air into a franchise at risk of quickly becoming stale. The main characters (Rey, Kylo, Luke, Poe, basically all of them except Finn) were developed in interesting and compelling ways. Kylo has really grown on me as a villain: in TFA he's a slightly cheesy Darth Vader-light; now, I've realized that his ambiguities make him a rich character to explore and adds uncertainty to the series. And Adam Driver did a great job; I didn't expect him to be the one to carry the movie. Really, the whole Rey-Kylo sub-plot was great, thankfully so because that should be (and is) the heart of the trilogy. It's a slight let-down to see Snoke built up as an antagonist, only to see him killed him off almost as soon as he was introduced. I also think it was a great decision to do so. It had the shock factor, where suddenly our expectations are turned upside down. It added the element of genuine suspense: having no idea what's going to happen next but being glued to your seat to find out. And it allowed Kylo to come into his own as a character, seeing how he reacted to his new role.

Adding to that same crucial element of suspense was hows both Poe's mutiny and Finn's mission failed. Admiral Holdo seemed like a bad guy--until she turned out to be the hero. These added an element of realism (though the plot was implausibly thin in other places) and uncertainty: not everything turns out as hoped for the good guys. It also makes for interesting characters--I thought Poe had a nice character arc. In TLJ, we see the Force used in ways we didn't know were possible until now. We also see hyperspace used as a weapon. These decisions have been talked about at length. But I loved it. Especially Kylo and Rey's "facetime" conversations. I find it far better than the opposite situation: where everything about the Star Wars universe and its Force underpinnings is set in stone with no room to be explored further. In summary, there are flaws e.g. with many plot choices, bad humor, and the pacing. But the movie does a great job with developing the characters and evolving the franchise to new ground. I think the movie will be judged better in hindsight.… Expand

I am a huge Star Wars fan and I don't like the new trilogy,but one day I understand that nothing can stop the Disney. They will continue to make those movies. And if look on new Star Wars trilogy it's not that bad.

I would like to see where the storyline ends up before locking in my rating here. I don't understand those who hate this movie so much, yet loved the Force Awakens. The Force Awakens was basically A New Hope, reimagined, as The Last Jedi is basically The Empire Strikes Back, reimagined. I found Luke's personality change interesting. His conflicted darker self was talked about in SW 4, 5 & 6, but he pretty much remained a consistent Mary Sunshine throughout that trilogy, his biggest offense being cursed with self-doubt. As much as I love endless optimism, it's nice to have some added character dimension on display, and see that our heroes can be flawed. Overall, I see this and The Force Awakens as a balancing act of trying to respectfully close out the story lines of the original Star Wars players and passing the story on to the next generation, and I think they did a good job.… Expand

It has fun, exciting moments and I found myself genuinely invested when tension rose; however, there are segments in the film that made me say, "Really?" out loud. Each scene has great ideas but when combined together, they make a movie with mixed tones and create pacing issues that negatively impact the humor and emotional connections with the characters. The special effects are great, the main characters undergo some much needed development and the acting is good, but subpar secondary characters, uneven pacing and plot holes make it difficult to care. Overall, Episode VIII is fun to watch but leaves much to be desired.… Expand

It has all the elements I've ever wanted out of a Star Wars movie - lightsaber duels, implausible space combat that seems more like something out of WWII, and the fight between the sides of the light and the dark, within us and without.

I was pleased with Rey's development as a character, pushing for new ground rather than rehashing old tropes or providing fan service, and appreciated that they still managed to get nods in to previous episodes. The same kinds of journeys are happening, but the paths are different, the choices made vary, and the results lead in new directions.

There are some pacing problems - the Canto Bight casino scene needed to be a little more heavy handed, I think, to get people to understand the reason for it, but the payoff in the end helps to mitigate that to some degree. The humor felt too modern in many places, especially right at the start, and that distracted me from it being long ago and far away.

It was most assuredly an action adventure, and still aimed fairly young, as Star Wars has always done. There are some simple morals to the story as well, but instead of the prior episodes where those were fairly black and white, this time there was some nuance in play, a little more acceptance of things varying depending on your point of view. That made it feel a little more grown up, and like it was taking its young audience seriously.

Enough calls back to prior episodes and returning characters to make an old fan happy, enough surprises in the storyline to keep you from knowing what would happen except in the broadest of strokes, and a wealth of characters changing and evolving and becoming more real and believable along the way.… Expand

Unique visuals pair up with powerful themes to deliver a worthy follow up to Force Awakens. The film develops Kylo and Rey in interesting ways and TLJ is not afraid to take creative chances. However, it is something of a muddled film. Like Rogue One, TLJ is missing a clear narrative arc and the story seems to swing from one plot to another without much coherence. Once again Finn is completely unnecessary to the plot, which is disappointing considering how much potential his backstory offers. The movie is bloated with a long side plot that amounts to nothing and only serves to distract from the more compelling lead narrative. In the end, I wish they'd developed a more focused story, but nonetheless, The Last Jedi is an exciting film and well worth a watch.… Expand

It's time to grow up and that isn't comfortable. The movie explores themes that directly put a mirror up the audience and asks questions about the nature of idolization, wish fulfillment, nostalgia, expectations & labels, authority, blind respect, communication, nature of war, looking at things in black & white, over reactions & rash decisions, ego, failure & how to deal with it, trauma and holding onto the past in ways that aren't healthy, moving forward in ways which aren't healthy, symbols vs real people, fame, responsibility, identity, aging, younger generations relationship to older ones, and in particular coming to terms with the fact that the older generation may not be perfect or even right and the responsibility the current generation now faces knowing there isn't a clear answer to these big problems or someone to turn to answer them. These are all things that are uncomfortable to face initially but they are universal themes that should be taught, much like the themes that we hold so deal to our heart that the original trilogy gave us. Give the movie another viewing, with an open mind and a level head. It is messy, and very flawed in a lot of aspects, but let's not let those things blind us so we can see the forest beyond the trees. There are very mature, nuanced things that the movie explores, new things, perhaps unpleasant things and we can agree it didn't get there in the best manner. It played with subversion in some dramatic areas it shouldn't have and perhaps was a bit cynical, goofy or shortsighted in others, but I'll take those flaws in order to get the concepts it brought to light. Upon a 2nd viewing most of the negative things weren't all that bad either. The pacing felt better (particularly the casino scene), things didn't feel as awkward and off, and the overall the annoying aspects just weren't as glaring or distracting and I could actually enjoy what was the film was doing as opposed to being irritated or on guard with what would come next. I even think if you view it through a meta perspective you can possibly have some campy fun in some of the weaker moments too. Overall it's a flawed film and there are things that it lacks no matter what, but if you're patient and can look past your differences with the film, it offers some really amazing insights & ideas for not just a Star Wars film, but a blockbuster film. Asking us a very mature, adult question; to move past our fantasies & gut reactions and to take a breath & move forward with perspective in all aspects of life. That's something I'm thrilled that it did and it makes me proud to continue calling myself a lifelong Star Wars fan. 1st Viewing: 6.5 out of 10
2nd Viewing: 8.5 out of 10 (10 was to balance out the irrational 0's & 1's)… Expand

By no means. But it's a very good Star Wars film. As a lifelong fan of Star Wars that read almost eveyr piece of EU content, and is currently caught up on all the current Canon, all the complaints people have about story and characters are unfounded. The only issues with this film are messy editing, misplaced comedy, and a few scenes that feel out of place. TLJ is finally taking Star Wars in a new and exciting direction. I made my review a 10 to make up for all the **** spamming "0" ratings. Realistically, I would give the movie an 8. It was a very good movie, but it had too many issues to ascend to greatness. Metacritic, you would get more REAL reviews if you did something about your bot problem. I'd like to see what this movie's score would be if you took out all the 0s, 1s, and 2s to remove obvious spammers.… Expand

And this is through no lack of amazing cinematography, score, or ever great battle scenes or individual duels but there were a few things that put me off and most of them are on the character development. Without going into spoiler mode I refrain from taking about then just yet. This does not make it a bad movie though, but just one that is not a brilliant as some others. I still think that certain fans and newcomers may still largely enjoy it.… Expand
