This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Right, so... A lot of people hate this movie because they thought they were gonna be right about every single moment in this movie. We all thought that Snoke would get a backstory, Rey and/or Kylo would switch sides, and that Reys father would be Luke. Instead, Snoke dies, no one turns (in-fact Kylo becomes Supreme leader of the first order), and Reys' parents would be Luke. Honestly, I came out of the theater thinking that this beat the Empire Strikes Back by a mile as the best Star Wars movie. Looking back tho, there is one big flaw with the movie: The Rose and Fin sub plot. In the movie, Fin and Rose go to a luxury planet called Cantonica to find a code breaker to get aboard a Star Destroyer. There it's revealed that underneath the planets first world core is a dark, sinister child slavery underbelly. They also free a bunch of horse animal... things from captivity, and it was VERY preachy about it. There was another scene where Fin was about to sacrifice himself for the resistance, and then all of a sudden, Rose crashes into him, and letting the empire use the Battering Ram Cannon. Ultimately, the subplot seems forced in most cases, was not handled well, and is the only thing keeping this from a 9 or a 10, sadly. But I'm going to say this to my fellow Star Wars fans, STOP OVER REACTING! YOU WERE WRONG, EVERYONE WAS UNPREDICTABLE, GET OVER IT!… Expand

Wake up. A human writer in 2016 wrote this film, just because it is written this way does not change Luke Skywalkers legacy forever. Its called "a movie" lol...people are acting as if Luke Skywalker is a real person lol...this is one of the funniest reaction in movie history. Anyway, this was a great Star Wars film, better than the last one that felt like a complete rehash and copy of every other Star Wars film, and I even liked it a little bit better than TFA. People have complained mostly about their beloved Luke Skywalker and an idealized storyline for him that probably did not come "true" (don't meet your hero's) and other more minor things such as the humor, and lack of in depth explanation on some of the characters. Well the film is 2 1/2 hours I don't think there would be much more time to explain any other characters backstories. That could be a movie unto itself. It works for this film. The humor is a little different than other Star Wars films, instead of Han Solo type sarcasm, there is a more subtle, off-beat, dead-pan humor through-out which I really enjoyed and mostly worked fine. It also focuses a lot on "the force" and uses CGI to show what some of the thought processess of using the force might be like which they of course did not have in 1977 or even 2000. Again...it really worked well and was an interesting take on the subject matter. As is the case with 1980's the Empire Strikes Back...the 2nd one is my favorite in the trilogy and Last Jedi is my favorite Star Wars film of the last decade or more. Unless you project non-sensical images of what a character SHOULD be or SHOULD do and act as if this is life and death and a real person lol...you should enjoy this movie if you reasonably like Star War's films to any degree. 9/10 and up there with the better Star Wars films and possibly the best of the new ones.… Expand

I knew Episode VIII was going to be more divisive than VII because I knew Rian Johnson would never play it as safe as Abrams, and of course because the Internet is full of raging cynics and fanatics. I should be clear that I'm a lifelong fan of the series, but I make an honest effort to not be myopic about it.

Both directors of the new trilogy are huge SW fans, each with a different mission as filmmakers within the series and each with their own sense of style and vision. Compared to Abrams, whose job it was to create new and likeable characters while thrusting them into a fun and familiar Star Wars setting (a job well done IMO), Johnson's job was to continue the arcs of those characters while somehow subverting expectations. I can't speak for other fans, but I had a strong personal need for the saga to expand on its ongoing narratives, themes and character dimensions in ways that were simultaneously new, familiar, interesting and unpredictable. I didn't want just another Empire the way we kinda got just another New Hope. I knew that to do that Johnson would need to take some risks, and as it turns out he took a lot of them with varying degrees of success. Not everything lands how it should've, but all the A-plot stuff with Kylo, Rey, Luke and Leia worked great for me initially and in retrospect.

Without going into too much detail, VIII suffered mostly from one or two of its subplots, namely that of Finn, Rose and DJ. In spite of their subplot's flaws, perhaps the biggest payoff was one in which DJ helps Finn and Rose to understand that war is far more grey and nuanced than they previously realized, and that the concepts of good and evil are maybe a bit more relative than they'd like to think. This is a concept that is echoed in various ways throughout the movie's various arcs, and its a theme I personally adore, but I wish Finn and Rose had come across it in a more fun and concise way.

One of the most common complaints I've seen of this film has to do with it's attempts at humor. Admittedly, I was caught off guard by it near the beginning, but I quickly and effortlessly found myself enjoying it, and did so for the most part for the rest of the film. I'm not sure I understand why the humor didn't land for so many people, at least not beyond the fact that humor is a very subjective construct. The humor of the prequels suffered greatly because it was so infantile and kid-centric. I think people forget how much humor there was in the original trilogy, but it seems to me that the new trilogy hasn't forgotten, nor has it failed to understand what made that humor more successful. The humor simply needs to appeal to the widest possible audience, younglings and oldlings alike. Was some of the humor too “meta” in this film? Who knows. One could easily argue yes or no, but I personally didn't think the humor was specific enough to be truly bad in a meta sense. Overall it seemed fine, and a lot of it got genuine laughs out of me.

I have enormous difficulty taking seriously the opinions of those who say flat out that Episode VIII “sucks” or even of those who somehow loved it unconditionally, although there seem to be far fewer of those in the latter category. Either way, let's not kid ourselves into thinking there has ever been a perfect SW film (although Empire was objectively maybe the closest we'll ever get to one). Empire took plenty of risks that in hindsight paid off beautifully, and I feel quite comfortable saying the same of VIII. As far as risks go, the difference between the two films is that VIII takes maybe one or two too many. Its possible that a few more months in the writer's room probably could have fixed all or most of the film's biggest missteps, but as a realist I understand time isn't always as abundant as we'd like it to be. In the end, The Last Jedi is what it is, and it would have been folly to ever think it could have pleased everyone.

I could follow suit with so many of the Internet's talking heads by nitpicking this film to death, but doing that seems unnecessary and beside the point of cinema. It might be a cynical view, but I think a lot of people kinda enjoy dissecting all the “bad” parts of movies more than losing themselves in all the “good” parts. I simply can't find it within myself to cut off this film's face to spite it's nose like so many people have. When considering the poignantly grey themes of The Last Jedi, doesn't it make more sense to embrace a more “grey” approach to how we experience films? To reference a specific quote from VIII, if darkness rises, shouldn't the light rise to meet it?

With all it's jaw-dropping spectacles, touching character moments and fresh thought-provoking themes, its the sum of Episode VIII's parts that, for me, make it an enjoyable cinematic experience. I have no quibbles about recommending this episode of Star Wars, but I'd try to ignore the Internet's echo chambers. SW is a movie, not a religion.… Expand

I am pleased with most parts of the movie. Its just that Disney tried to show itself as a cultural diversity loving company by shoving as many non-white characters as they can. Don't get me wrong i'm all for cultural diversity and feminism (not the stupid kind) but when its as blatant and forced as in this movie I can't stand it. Other then that I loved the acting and visuals and the comedy is more then usual but I still love it.

- it has a really good, not oboxious humour
- acting (especially of younger members of the cast) is very good (and pay attention to the fact that creating a role in such a hyped movie is a really hard task even for experienced actors)
- it lasts for about 2,5 hours and I wasn't bored all that time, they managed to keep me invested
- it lasts for about 2,5 hours, they could've made a shorter movie and still did great at the box office
- shots in this movie are great, many times very artistic and... static which is actually good in action movie because when action finally breaks in, it feels much more realistic and makes your heart go wild
- it's quite unpredictable but also coherent, you don't feel like "well, that's nice but why they've done this or that, wouldn't it be easier this or that way?"
- thay managed to make a new, nice planet (and it isn't sand or lava, or jungle)
- CGI is very good and used only when needed
- there isn't !@#$ ton of action and pew-pew-pew all the time
- I find it a nice polemic with older Star Wars movies
If it would be the first Star Wars movie I've ever seen this movie would make me feel that SW is a very nice thing to know and would encourage me to watch more. I understand that many people feel anger with it because "it is not the old saga!" and also because a super-corporation like Disney produces it but concidering the fact that there are many movies that try to make money out ONLY from your nostalgia and add nothing to they products (great and sad example is Hobbit - produced by the same company which produced LOTR and directed by the same guy who directed LOTR) but a lot of CGI and running, and action... Star Wars - The Last Jedi is very good example how to deal with such a task without turning it into a mindless pile of references people like.
May the force be with you! Peace! :)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Directed by Rian Johnson Cast (in part) Mark Hamill Luke Skywalker Carrie Fisher Leia Organa Adam Driver Kylo Ren Daisy Ridley Rey John Boyega Finn Oscar Isaac Poe Dameron Andy Serkis Snoke First Thoughts: I was excited to see this film since I’m an original, waiting blocks for the 1977 Star Wars film. And I was NOT disappointed!

Though Rian Johnson’s story and direction are somewhat controversial in some circles, overall I liked the direction we are going in. We left Rey with Luke in The Force Awakens and find Luke as a dissolutioned former Jedi who just wants to die on an island in the armpit of the galaxy far far away. And Rey, shocked by this attitude of a man she’s idolized, tries to wake him up. You can’t walk away from trouble and though you may have inadvertently caused it, you still have responsibility to make it right. I feel that’s the lesson between Luke and Rey.

Legends change – we find anyone can use the Force, not just certain individuals. And Rey has the most sensitivity and the most power, and is on par with her antagonist Kylo Ren. Ren, like Luke, is a torn individual. He has a Force connection with Rey who communicates with him. That Rey tries to see Ren’s side of the story is telling and so is Luke’s tale with a lot to do with his relationship with both Ren and Rey. Flawed characters trying to do what they think is “the best” but eventually Rey decides – in the main throne room of Snoke’s ship. Snoke comes across as a villain who seems to have all the cards in his favor. His Dark Side Force power is more powerful than Rey and Ren. They both have a plan for Snoke. And their lightsaber battle with the Praetorian Guard is worth the price of admission! Forced?

We finally get to see a final confrontation with Ren and Luke Skywalker himself. Luke seems invincible, and Ren wants his blood. How this turns out with shock you. Another controversial scene must do with the remnants of the Rebel Alliance attempting to escape from the First Order armada and are getting picked off, one at a time, as the Rebels limp towards their base. There are side adventures with Rose (new character, she really steps up and takes the film) and her relationship with Finn – at first seems to have hero worship and later saves his life. Final Thoughts”

OK, I’m rambling , but really guys and gals remember this is fiction! Some suspension of disbelief is required. Johnson turns the Force mythology on its ear. And who is the Last Jedi? Can you guess?

Highly recommended!… Expand

But there was one thing that it should've gotten right and (surprisingly) it did: direction.

Visuals are flawless, the premise is great and, even if more than one point in the execution feels superficial, the payback seems worthy.… Expand

The visual is, as always, magnificent. Someone's gotta take over the franchise from the Skywalkers and the Solos, and I believe this movie did a great job in doing that. Rey's background is finally unveiled in this episode, and to the surprise of almost everyone, she's a no one (Hey, Darth Vader was a no one too!). That's bold. Luke has become a grudging, pessimistic, war-torn, reluctant old man. That's bold. It was revealed that Luke actually made Kylo Ren and destroyed Ben Solo by trying to kill him after sensing the "great potential for darkness". That's infinitely bold. Alright, there are indeed some dumb moments in this one, like the way Leia all of sudden was able to harness the force to safe herself, or the absolute zero chemistry of Finn and Rose (That awkward kiss tho...), or the occasional dry, unfunny jokes. But the only people that got ticked and enraged by Episode VIII are Star Wars nerds and fanboys. For me, as a general moviegoer, "The Last Jedi" is as good as any Star Wars movie can be. I like especially the dark turn of Luke's story arc and how he, Rey, and Kylo Ren questioned their integrity and moral values, how blurred the line can be between good and evil. This is a deep, provoking (For the better or worse), insightful movie that's worth the admission.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked this movie, as I liked The Force Awakens. Now I must say that I'm not someone who is familiar with the full lore of Star Wars (I've only seen the 9 movies multiple times). I especially liked the visuals and some of the more poetic moments (Leia's flight but also the silence after the push to light-speed by Holdo), and the Luke part was all quite great as were the action sequences. As many others, I disliked the casino scenes and even in general, the new characters do not bring any value (Rose is irritating as is DJ's stuttering). I don't really understand the ongoing discussion about Snoke. Some people seem to think that Rian didn't like the character and so he killed him off. This is of course complete bs, do you really think Disney doesn't have a clear 3-movie arc for Snoke...? It has become quite impossible to make a Star Wars movie which pleases all due to the contradictive expectations. Looking forward to IX and the following trilogy (and the Han Solo spin off).… Expand

How can you hate a movie like this? There was jokes in serious moments? Yes there were few of them, but all of you forget the original trilogy, if you watch them again, humor is also present in serious situations, oh yes it is, maybe in old fashion but yes. I totally understand why Luke acted the way he did, and I loved the way he died, like Obi Wan and Yoda. The only thing I did not like about this movie was how Leia survived that attack at the beginning, I mean I know it is a fantasy, but again it was to much. And also, I wanted to see more from C3PO, R2D2 and Chewie cuzz everytime I see them there is a smile on my face. For me, this movie takes place behind episode 4 and 5, on third position. This is just my opinion... :) I know I will get a lot of dislikes, but it is okay, I just wanted to share this with you guys, there is still a hope inside me. May the force be with you...

For me, I think of it as a new beginning for the franchise, the one where Skywalker dynasty is not in the center of entire Galaxy and the Galaxy, the real people, start to fight for their own. Plotholes? When You disagree with the direction You will find them everywhere this is not an issue here, as they were not an issue in Empire Strikes Back.

У этих пидарасов всё, что не оригинальная трилогия, то говно. Обоснуйте объективно, чем вам не понравился фильм? Актёрская игра? Нет, это кино за 200 миллионов бакосв, здесь по умолчанию отличная актёрская игра. Сюжет? А чем он плох? Несколько сюжетных линий, развивающихся параллельно, пересекающихся и в конце концов сводящиеся воедино. Прямо как в ваших любимых Мстителях, что тут не так? Раскрыли характеры новых персонажей, уже знакомых показали с других сторон. Или по вашему Люку не свойственно боятся и переживать? Это абсолютный герой, которому чуждо всё человеческое? Быть может, если вы так думаете, проблема в вас? Экшен? Качественный и изобретательный, приятно смотреть и осознавать, что фильм не состоит на 100% из одних только перестрелок, как ебучие Трансформеры или Форсаж.

Так в чём проблема? А проблема в вас. Ведь в кой-то век вас поставили на место, дав понять, что угождать вам вечно не собираются.

Yes this is a different Star Wars movie. "Things are not going to go the way you think" Many of the reviewers on the site are salty that their theories didn't come true, and that Luke was a hermit to begin with and not a Grand Master Jedi that the Expanded Universe originally wrote him as. Although, yes he is that, but that comes before this movie. Before the sequels (Although the flashbacks do help show that) Luke is now ashamed for what happened to Kylo, he feels responsible, and hurt. He feels like he let down Leia and everyone else. He has taken full responsibility for it all, he has gone to the island of the first jedi temple to simply get out of the way and die. But that is until Rey find him, at first yes he is unwilling to teach he, but then he agrees, now I cannot wait to see him return in Episode 9 as a force ghost and see Rey take over, who is the true last jedi, and teach a new generation of Jedi. She has the books, Lukes saber, and she is ready to take the screen and fulfill her destiny. Yes at first glance Snoke is a bit of a waste. Most people salty that he wasn't Bane or the Emperor, but it doesn't really matter who he is, or if he comes back or who he was. Kylo Ren has overpowered his master, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, but Snoke was arrogant, and didn't count on Kylo betraying him. Adam Driver did a fantastic job at portraying this. You think he will turn and help Rey, but he tricks her, and try to turn her. All I can say is this film was fantastic. The funniest thing about this movie is how salty people are that their fanfics didn't come true!… Expand

The costumes, makeup, and hair were beautiful. I loved all of the new creatures in this one especially the Porgs. The acting was stupendous especially Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill, John Boyega, Kelly Marie Tran, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Laura Dern, Billie Lourd, and Domhnall Gleeson. Frank Oz and Lupita Nyong'o's voice over performances were great. Also John Williams musical score was amazing. R.I.P Carrie Fisher the best Princess ever. A+.… Expand

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi is in my view the best Star Wars film—and the first great Star Wars film—since The Empire Strikes Back was released nearly forty years ago (though some fanboys out there seem to disagree with me and theStar Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi is in my view the best Star Wars film—and the first great Star Wars film—since The Empire Strikes Back was released nearly forty years ago (though some fanboys out there seem to disagree with me and the majority of critics who love the film; that’s fine, but I won’t bother addressing their gripes specifically as I don’t find them the least compelling). The array of female performers, maybe more than any Star Wars film to date, in particular shine in Episode XIII, the late Carrie Fisher getting a more substantial and interesting role than in Episode VII, and Daisy Ridley as Rey continuing her strong-willed, fascinating arc into potential Jedi-hood. And out of a nice array of new characters in important parts two are female. This film is well pieced together with drama, humor, and wonder, and both with freshness and familiarity. It’s an exciting, intriguing journey the whole way through. The Last Jedi tops The Force Awakens in many respects, and ranks among the best science fiction films I have seen in recent years.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It really bothers me that Rian Johnson did to TFA what Luke did to the lightsaber in the beginning: Looked at it and threw it away. I loved TFA and I was excited for the future installments, but upon seeing TLJ twice I really don't think it is as good as it could've been had it built upon TFA. Here are a couple of examples: 1) Rey's parents were built up as this big mystery in TFA, even through-out the first half of this film and they are revealed to be nobody in particular, just some junkheads from Jakku. Excuse me, what? 2) Same with Snoke, who is this mystery villain? He's just randomly killed off by Kylo Ren. Excuse me, what? 3) The ending of TFA was a big cliffhanger, with Rey handing Luke his lightsaber. What happens in TLJ? Luke looks at it and throws it away. Excuse me, WHAT? 4) Rey and Finn build this relationship with each other but in TLJ this is movie they barely share any screentime. 5) I guess Rian Johnson didn't like Kylo Ren's helmet... meh.
Other negative points for me: 1) The middle of the movie is BORING. We cut between Canto Bight and Acht-Tu and nothing really happens. 2) I don't like this version of Luke. It doesn't feel like him at all. Even Mark Hamill said it. 3) While I did enjoy some of the gags, a lot of them felt out of place. Like, they interrupted good action sequences or felt awkwardly placed. What's with Luke milking that space cow? Did we really have to see that? 4) There isn't a single lightsaber duel. We are teased with it but it doesn't happen. 5) Rose? Get out of here...

All in all, I think it boils down to Rian Johnson wanting to subvert expectations: "Ho ho, they'll think this is the big lightsaber duel of the movie, but nooooo", "After all the theorizing they'll never guess Rey's parents were nobody", etc, etc. It's too much and doesn't respect the predecessor. There are a couple of positives: BB-8 - I love this droid so much. I love the final battle and the Throne Room fight, and how about the hyperspeed crash? Wow! Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley are awesome. I didn't like Kylo Ren that much in TFA but I thought this movie put him in a new light and I'm excited to see where his character goes from here. Some of the cinematography is breathtaking - this is probably the most beautiful looking Star Wars movie ever. I did like the Porgs, I thought they were very cute. I did get the feeling through-out the movie I didn't know who was gonna survive and that's a rare accomplishment! It did a good job building fear and uncertainty. Here's to hoping JJ can get Part IX and Star Wars back on track. I wonder if he's pissed that so much of his setups and work in VII were completely obliterated in VIII?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi is not as good, or as bad, as it might've been. It's the best Star Wars movie visually. There are several great action sequences. However, there are plenty of problems. It doesn't really feel like a sequel to The Force Awakens. Snoke, who is introudced as a mysterious figure in Force Awakens, is completely wasted. Luke Skywalker, the hero of the original films, is virtually unrecognizable based on his behavior in this movie. Rey, the protagonist, is unrelatable; she's seemingly good at everything. The new characters are shallow and uninteresting (mainly Rose). The flying Leia scene was laughable. There are many more nonsensical plot details in this movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been a big fan of the star wars movies since early 1980's loved 4,5,6 - odd flicks of humour,awesome villains,loveable heros and great story lines - for me all the same applied with episode 1,2 and 3.
Then out comes the force awakens didn't fill me with excitement but it was obvious star wars was turning a corner and heading in a slightly different direction - I was watching,listening and hoping.....
Now after watching the last Jedi, I can say the film did have it's good moments but did looked slightly rushed and was made by someone who a) Just didn't 'get' star wars or b) was under orders to eliminate certain characters from movie series from a higher (disney) power to make way for new (disney made) characters....What happened to Luke Skywalker is nothing short of a disgrace! Also I don't remember Star Wars having such a weak set of villians - Kylo Ren - fair enough could have potential but NEVER as a leader -General Hux...? very weak when compared to previous like Tarkin and the 'comedy moment' between him and Kylo Ren were cringy... and I realise sometimes change is needed with characters but old characters have made Star Wars what it is today so they must have done something right...where are the bad-ass bounty hunters? where are the sith lords? Get George Lucas involved to sort it out!
I just don't see where they are trying to take Star wars after watching TLJ,but to turn it around for me they will have to surprise us with some epic characters and story lines in any future episodes....… Expand

I know this film is very controversial. There are choices I feel were misguided. But at the end of the day, I just came to be entertained and the film was very good at that.

It looks great with some visually arresting shots and sets. Snoke's throne room and the salt planet are especially eye-catching. Action is very impressive, including one of the best fight sequences in Star Wars.

The cast is all likable. Especially liked the new character of Rose whose determinism contrasts well with the reluctant Finn. Dialogue is good.

One of the strongest aspects of this film is that director Rian Johnson manages to defy expectations about what will happen. On the other hand, he seems so intent to go his own direction that he fumbles a little with carrying on the plot. He seems almost resistant to continue what JJ Abrahams set up in the last film. You still don't learn Supreme Leader Snoke's origins. Not even a single line of dialogue. (Though I'm not entirely hating the character even if he is a clone of Emperor Palpatine. He's got a bit of style and drive to him.) The Knights of Ren are barely mentioned. Supposedly the First Order has several force-using fighters, so where are they? Phasma was set up in the first film to be a big villain, but she is barely in this. Unlike some people, I don't mind the casino planet and the Resistance infighting. (Though I do agree that the reasoning of the rebel upper command could have been better reasoned.) Still, I think those subplots could have been easily shortened.

I get that a lot of fans may feel betrayed, but I found this to be a stylish sci-fi action film.… Expand

I am not a big fan of the Star Wars (SW) movies.

That’s not to say I don’t find the original SW trilogy fun, but it’s mostly from a visual effects and action standpoint. However, from a storytelling and character perspective; SW was always lacking for me.

These same issues carried over to the J.J. Abrams-directed soft reboot The Force Awakens where despite grade-A action and visuals effects; suffered from an overly-formulaic plot that felt more like a glorified teaser for future movies than a real story. That and the Mary Sue protagonist, a disappointing villain in the form of Kylo Ren, and ANOTHER rehash of the Death Star plot.

I felt very divided as I was watching LJ. Rarely have I watched a movie where moments of sheer awesomeness are intermixed with moments that made me want to smack the upside of my head!

LJ carries over the tradition of the last two SW entries by being some of the most gorgeously executed special effects extravaganzas of the modern age. I also really liked the sequences in which Rey is exploring the Force as well as her own emotional insecurities stemming from her uncertainty to her place in the universe.

I also liked how Johnson gives these sequences a slightly surreal and psychological portrayal, much like how it was in the original trilogy.

There were also admittedly plenty of laugh-out-loud moments throughout too, in fact, it maybe the funniest SW movie to date.

From a filmmaking and cinematography standpoint, SW has really never looked better!

It’s when we get into discussions about the actual plot and story that LJ causes major disturbances. Johnson is credited as the sole writer and I give him plenty of credit with being bold enough try new things with the Star Wars formula. Johnson is hardly a “safe” filmmaker like J.J. Abrams.

The storyline involving Rey, Luke, and Ren is by far the most interesting stuff.

Luke’s character is taken in a very unexpected direction and Mark Hamill is more than capable of pulling off a more weary, vulnerable, and morally-greyed version of the iconic space hero. Rey still remains over-powered but she did feel less like a Mary Sue this time around due to the focus on her emotional insecurities. That and the fascinating new layer given to the dynamic between Rey and Ren.

Speaking of Ren, I’ve always liked Adam Driver and it was nice to see him being given better material to work with this time around. If Johnson succeeded at anything, it was turning Ren from a overgrown pathetic whiny brat to the complicated lost soul that FA attempted to portray him as but failed. If anything Ren is by far the best character now because he is the only one that goes through any real arc in LJ outside of Luke.

Because outside of the Rey, Luke and Ren storyline; everything else about the plot is an under explained and baffling mess with so-many questionable creative choices.

Like with Alien Covenant, if you are hoping for any answers to the questions posed by FA, then you are going to be severely disappointed.

Instead of being given more backstory that would help contextualize the drama and make us more invested in the plot; signifiant time is wasted following Finn (Boyega) and Rose Tico (Tran) on a planet straight from The Fifth Element in search of a codebreaker that I swear was ENTIRELY POINTLESS!!!

Who is Rose Tico?

Probably the most blatant example of adding an unnecessary character to a movie in a predictable attempt to appeal to Asian markets since Angelababy from Independence Day: Resurgence. It also doesn’t help that Tran is given some of the worst dialogue in the movie.

The First Order also continues it’s tradition of being the most incompetent evil oppressive empire since…well…the Empire. The Resistance also showcases baffling levels of incompetence. While I really enjoy Poe as a character due to Isaac’s effortlessly charismatic portrayal, his continuous unruly attitude and disregard for chain of command severely makes you question the quality of Leia’s judgement.

Laura Dern also randomly shows up in the movie as a supposed “legendary” Resistance leader although with that stupid purple wig she looks more like a hipster college professor if anything. I love Dern but she was simply wasted in this despite having one admittedly awesome scene, a literal non-character.

It’s not like I didn’t have some fun watching LJ, heck I think it is a slight step above FA, but I simply can’t ignore the questionable script on display. I personally can’t understand how anybody, critics or otherwise, can watch this and FA and tell me with a straight face they are examples of quality writing.

It’s far from the worst Star Wars movie, that honor goes to Attack of the Clones and it’s “worse than Twilight” chemistry-free love story between Anakin Skywalker and Padme, but it’s certainly not one of the best.… Expand

I liked it, but it seemed small, and slow. The main conflict of the first half of the film was very dull, and most of the movie lacked any urgency.
I really enjoyed some of the twists and character dynamics, and there was one fight scene that was particularly outstanding, but I felt like there was too much fat that needed to be trimmed from the script, and the tone was messy.
I think the biggest problem with this film is that it kept the humor of previous films, like The Force Awakens, but lacked its heart, and its charm. There's also the way Rian Johnson handled Luke in this movie, which I wasn't particularly thrilled with, and one scene with Leia was probably written for Superman or Star-Lord (if you've seen it, you know what I mean).
I'll end on a high note, Kylo Ren. While I'm not the biggest fan of the whiny dark Force user (See Anakin in ep. 2-3), and I initially got the impression that Adam Driver's performance was based solely off of the Tusken Raider massacre and accompanying monologue, he has turned out to be a really interesting character with a gripping screen presence and an epically awesome fighter (Where can I pick myself up a TIE Silencer?). His performance was easily my favorite part of the entire film.
I know what I have to do, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it to my favorite franchise.

Molto bella l'evoluzione di Kylo Ren, e belle le parti con Luke stanco e disilluso, ma per il resto zero.
Poe è un co-protagonista completamente anonimo, tutta la storyline di Finn è peggio che inutile...quella di Rey carina ma non mi trasmette alcun affetto il personaggio (a differenza di Leia e PAdme per dire)
E su Snoke penso non si possa dir null'altro che non sia stato già detto, un grandissimo plot hole… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, took a bold new direction with many story elements. This was sometimes to it's detriment. Most (if not all) of the story beats that it's predecessor, The Force Awakens, set-up were quickly discarded (Rey's parents being important, Snoke's backstory being integral to the plot, etc). It seems that the intention of these subverted expectations was to tell the audience to forget what they think should happen: don't idolize Luke Skywalker, the force isn't only strong in the Skywalker line. To this effect, I enjoyed how The Last Jedi took old characters whom we love (Han, Luke, and Leia) and told us to let go of what we believe to be true and to make way for the new. I very much enjoyed Luke's wisdom of the force belonging to everyone, not just the Jedi (or the Skywalkers). The trope just seemed overplayed. It was pounded into the viewer's head over and over. "Oh you think this is going to go a certain way? Think again! It's the complete opposite. The Jedi texts don't matter. Luke's father's lightsaber doesn't matter. The subplot on Canto Bight doesn't matter." It all feels like a big troll on the audience. The use of subverted expectations is fine until it gets old. You mean Luke would have no emotional attachment whatsoever to his father's old lightsaber that he lost back in Episode V? It's a hard pill to swallow and the movie doesn't try to help the audience digest it. The worst case of this is the subplot of Finn and Rose and their mission to find a master code-breaker. Not only does the whole Canto Bight scene grind the film to a slog, but the audience is forced to muddle through it just to have the mission end in failure. Moments like these could be handled with more grace instead of leaving the viewer feeling as if the last 45 minutes of the film was wasted time. I did enjoy Poe's story. He was more fleshed out as a character and he was the driving force behind why I cared about what happened to the rebels. (And Leia of course.) I also enjoyed a lot of the things that went contrary to what I expected. I enjoyed seeing the dialogue between Rey and Kylo and how they both were seduced to the "other" side. I liked the fact that Kylo wanted to chart his own path free from past structure, but incidentally falling right into it. I enjoyed the darker themes of the movie over all and the glimmer of hope the audience is left with at the end. This movie is a mixed bag for me. A lot of things didn't work (Finn and Rose aren't being shipped any time soon). It was a fun movie and the over-all point was hit, but the execution was sloppy. This is a fine Star Wars movie, but ranks somewhere in the middle.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star wars: The last Jedi is an interesting film. It has managed to create a divide between those who love it and consider it to be one of the best star wars films to date, others claimed it ruined the Star wars lore, like the Prequels and their midochlorians. It's actually quite impressive if you think about it. I'm closer to the negative side, while acknowledging that the movie has its upsides

Let's start with the positives:
I love the way the new Star Wars movies look. The space battles look phenominal, the lightsaber fights are pleasing to look at, and each of the sets are diverse and distinct from each other in a good way. If Star Wars Episode 4 and 5 had the visuals that 7 and 8 had, it would make the original movies feel more mystical and epic than it already is.
My favorite scenes of the movie are the ones that contained Kylo Ren, or Luke Skywalker. Kylo Ren gave an amazing performance to the point where I felt more connected to Kylo than Rey, and was rooting for him to win. Also, Mark Hamil gave an incredible performance, despite not seeing eye to eye with the character vision of Luke Skywalker.
Finally, the suspense that the movie provides with the relationship between Kylo and Rey was well executed (even though it did have that cringey shirtless moment).

Now for the negatives:
It felt like both sides of the war are ineffective, which is frustrating. Every single action that the resistance tries to accomplish fails in some way, and yet the First Order cannot wipe them out. The Vice Admiral was a horrible replacement for Leia and was not suited for leadership, even though she had fought (and supposedly won) a famous war for the republic. Finn and Rose go on a useless sidequest that takes away from the potential time developing Luke and Rey, and Poe, (the only sensible leader left fighting) was berated multiple times, even though he made tactically advantageous decisions that saved the resistance countless times. Rey is also OP in this movie, same as the last, and that most likely won't change in the 9th movie

The scenes with the resistance fighting (excluding the first one) felt pointless, since it seems that no matter what, the resistance will always end up on top. It is evident that the resistance will end up on top, making seeing the 9th movie pointless.

However, Kylo Ren is the only saving grace we have left. He has potential to give us a deep character arc, exploring what it's like to truly struggle between making good and bad decisions for what he sees as the greater purpose. Rey and the resistance can be used as an outlet for Kylo to truly express himself. If the movie were to primarily focus on him, and actually let him accomplish his goals, I truly believe that this series can be saved from its current boring path.

Overall, I would give this movie a 6/10. The visuals and the tension brought out by amazing performaces by Kylo and Luke were undercut by the boring, tedious plotline of the resistance running away for 2 hours of my time. Kylo's potential throughout the trilogy is the only saving grace that this trilogy has left, and if he dies, the Last of my intrest, will end.… Expand

I LOVED this movie so much more than Force Awakens, i cried, i laughed, and I THOUGHT during the whole thing, i felt Luke's pain and suffering, and Rey's void and feeling of being lost in the universe. When she says the Resistance needs you to Luke, you know she just wants to get the answers she has spent her whole life wondering about. Even Canto Bight, despite some awkward scenes was just fine, it did what it did, and we moved on, there is a rich class in the SW Universe, and they profit off war. Even better, we didnt even the code breaker we went there for, we got the criminal. Nothing happened the way you expected it to, and it was great! The longer i watched, the more i realised i had no control over where it was going, and man is that cool, i like a good story that i feel i have to read to know what happens next. For instance, had Luke been over-powered and Goku-level strength, i would have been ok with it, but i would have left the theatre thinking "oh yeh, duh, luke strong", but instead i left the movie thinking 'Luke loved the lives of others so much, that he removed himself from the universe to prevent the death and suffering of more people, in hopes that the Jedi/Sith issue would go away"...i think alot of the people who have been into star wars for years just wanted fan service, as if they deserved the reward for being fans, but being a fan of sports team means you stay onboard even when they dont win the world series every year. So ignore the people who were disappointed here, some make good points, but a low rating is not deserved for this movie, it really was very good.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, I'm glad that the story isn't a rip-off from Episode 5. After watching Episode 7, I thought Episode 8 would have a lot of similarities with Episode 5. I became more confident with my assumption after watching the last trailer when there was a scene of Walkers on a white surface (which I thought would be a copy of the Hoth Battle in Episode 5.). On the opening crawl of the movie, it says the Ressistance were being invaded by the First Order, which I thought is a sign that the movie would be like Episode 5 when the Rebel base was invaded by the Empire.

It turned out, the story is almost completely different from Episode 5 and I was so glad it wasn’t a rip-off like Episode 7. They have brought something totally fresh and new to the Star Wars franchise. It’s filled with complexity, character transformations, and a lot of plot twists.

Speaking of plot twist, there’s a hell lot of them. For instance, I didn’t expect Snoke to be killed so early. I thought he would survive until the last movie (Episode 9). I was also really surprised that Rey’s parents turned out to be ordinary people. No one ever thought of that ! I love how Kylo and Luke told the same story about the murder attempt in different perspectives. There’s a bit of noir element in the story.

I find the directing and writing style to be rather childish. Lots of camera zoom-ins, lots of comical jokes (which is not my type of humor), lots of parodies. I would say it’s made to be enjoyable for young kids, more so than the other Star Wars movies.

Some scenes and features are quite unnecessary for the plot. For instance, the story could’ve carried on the same way without having the casino scene. I also think a lot of the things are too overdone and some are obviously made to please the fans. Leia flying in space is too excessive and it makes force-users seem less exclusive. The part when Walkers were attacking Luke's hologram is too childish and it makes me question Johnson's maturity. And why did Luke suddenly died for no reason ? It doesn't make sense. Spirit Yoda summoning lightning is just too much for me to handle.

The characters are made sillier and more naive in this movie. For instance, after Luke was watching a nostalgic holographic video of Leia asking for help, he decided to change his mind immediately. It's amazing how a single nostalgic moment can radically change his decision. The part when was Snoke teasing Kylo constantly is also very childish.

Another complain that I have is the design. For instance, Snoke's room is too bright and cheerful-looking instead of dark and gloomy like what villain lairs should look like. I also don't like how Snoke was wearing a golden-colored clothes instead of black like in Episode 7. Some clothes in the casino planet look too much like in real life for a Star Wars movie. Overall, there are a lot of things to love and hate about this movie. I love the acting performance, the plot twists, the cinematography, and its innovation. On the other hand, it's filled with too much fan service, has some useless characters and plots (if not, annoying), and the directing/writing style is too naive for me to handle. I also think the movie could've been a lot better with shorter duration, especially with the absence of casino scenes.… Expand

It might even be better than Return of the Jedi. The vitriol surrounding this film stems from a disappointment that Luke didn't hold up to expectations built by the now de-canonized expanded universe novels. He's not the perfect superhuman here, which creates a far more compelling story of faith lost and regained. Look beyond the fanboy rage here, this is not only peak Star Wars, this is a great story of the reckless new generation finding their roles as leaders and taking charge.… Expand

While the online reviews from fans got bombarded with haters, theyObjectively a top 4 Star Wars movie of all time and arguably #1, but that's more subjective. Absolutely nailed it on all fronts. Widespread critical acclaim was warranted. While the online reviews from fans got bombarded with haters, they don't really reflect how the broad audience felt about this movie. It's phenomenal and the majority of people who watched it agreed - just most can't be bothered to write a review like this.

The people who hated it (and bombarded user review sites) fall into three categories:

#1 - They didn't get it. They don't understand the character of Luke and can't come to grips with the fact this portrayal made perfect sense. They have an idealized idea of who the character was from their childhood and can't understand that the character always was deeply flawed and human.

#2 - They are borderline sexist/racist. No way around it, but the tiny irrelevant pocket of people who hated this movie (the thousands of haters out of 150 million that saw it and loved it) often cite their frustrations with having female leads, an asian character or some perceived political agenda. These people are idiots and can safely be ignored.

#3 - They have just grown out of Star Wars in general. No shame in that. Some of these grown adults nitpick details of this movie without doing the same to the originals. The originals are packed full of plot holes, nonsense, and childish humor - because Star Wars was and has always been a series primarily made for children. The tiny group of people who hated this movie are mainly projecting frustration with the fact their adulthood has robbed them of the sense of wonder that makes this series so delightful and enjoyable for the millions of people who still love it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, since a year has passed since one of the most decisive movies ever has come on out, and I've decided to finally review it. Why? I know for a fact this review will be down voted because it's a positive review, I know for a fact i'll be hated for loving this movie, but you know what? This is my review. I know it won't change anything, I know it's just one review, but it is my review, and like those who have given this movie a "10", and a "0", my voice will be heard as well. This is not the worst movie ever made by human beings, this is not the soulless cash grab the world has created, but it is NOT the best Star Wars movie, it most definitely has flaws, and it is far from a perfect movie, but with all that being said, it is still strong. Yes, the opening crawl isn't that good, I think setting it a few days after "The Force Awakens" wasn't an advantage, but after this crawl, we get John Williams amazing score blasting with a gorgeous trumpet chant, and, in my opinion, a funny joke from Poe, and Hux. I much prefer Poe to be a jokester, rather than no nonsense, because A. We have Hux to play the straight man to all of this, and B. Oscar Issacs delivers this moment very well. I think it's alright to laugh in a Star Wars movie, if Han Solo taught us anything. We then get an impressive space battle, and yes I've heard the complaints of the bombs dropping in space, and how the defy the laws of physics, but this is a universe where Lightsabers exist (which defy the laws of physics), and their exists an energy in this universe which allows people to lift rocks, and bend people's minds with the slight of a hand, so pardon me if my suspension of disbelief is a bit more for me to see if this universe didn't create technology to drop bombs in space. Also here, we get a beautiful moment where we see Rose's sister make a heroic sacrifice, and it's done with little to no dialogue, which is the strength of Star Wars.

I know people have a problem with how Luke is portrayed, but it makes sense. How else would you act if you had failed your nephew, and you lost all your students when you were supposed to be the one who were to make them become the next guardians? I know Mark Hamill said he didn't agree with the choices made for Luke, however A. He later stated he was happy with how the film turned out (Amazing how people forget to include that part) and B. Sorry, he's just the actor. Sure he originated the role, but their were other actors who played Luke after him, and their will be more after him. He doesn't get a say over this character, unless he was the writer, and director. That's how it is in Television, Film, Theatre, and Voice Over. I will admit, I will agree with those who don't like this movie about the casino scene, but I won't lie, I am impressed by the mix of practical and CGI, and this obviously took a lot of time and effort to make. The one criticism i'm shocked by is how people don't like Luke's ability to use the force, but what happened if we said the force can't shoot lightning, or couldn't bring down entire ships? We limit what this all powerful force can do. Saying Luke, one of the most powerful Jedi, and THE SON OF ANAKIN SKYWALKER, can't force project himself the across the galaxy is on par with saying the Aliens in "Signs" weakness is wood, and water, it just makes no sense. Look, if you hated this movie, I'm sorry you had such a terrible time, and felt the need to blow up about it, and I hope you won't be this upset again. I will not however agree with how people are treated. I have a friend who was an extra on this movie, and she told me entire shooting days took longer than they should because Rian Johnson was meticulous about everything, he even looked at every extra's costume so a clear character was shining through them. He also loved using practical effects, and she said she saw many people wanting him to use CGI, but he felt it wouldn't be a Star Wars movie if they did so. I will admit, some of the stuff he has said, like the "Your Snoke theory is wrong", is definitely not cool, but anyone in his position would be fighting back, especially if death threats were received. I love this movie, and that's where I stand, and I'm super excited for Episode IX, and I know fans are making wonderful films like 'Star Wars Theory's' Vader film (still waiting for part 2). I'm happy with what i'm getting from both fans, and Disney, and in the end, was I entertained? The answer is yes. Thank you for reading, and may the force be with you.… Expand

I'm gonna leave it at this, the movie has potential if the movie was edited differently and certain scenes were cut out and some deleted scenes were placed in the place of those scenes. If the casino scene sequence was cut, and Rose ended up being a hacker who was once a criminal and gets them onto Snoke's ship. So, with that there would be extra time to insert the deleted scene when Rey runs to the village she thought was in danger and has a nice dialogue scene with Luke. The Last Jedi, while I didn't like it at first, could've been made better if a few changes were made that would've been easy to make. I'm not part of the toxic fan base that claims this ruined Star Wars, I just think that Rian Johnson would've been a great anthology film director and J.J. Abrams should've directed the whole trilogy. This is actually what I think LucasFilm wanted, and J.J. didn't want to direct them, good thing he's back. So all in all, The Last Jedi is a decent and confidently made, but fails to remember that part of making Star Wars is fan service. I want to see Rian Johnson come back and prove himself with an anthology film, which I believe he is better suited for. Maybe bring him on to write the Obi-Wan movie with Ewan McGregor and let him make an Oscar worthy movie with good action, like Looper.… Expand

Obviously this isn't a perfect movie, nor a great movie, I personally think that it's far from being as good as Empire, New Hope or even The Force Awakens, but this is still a really competent movie in many aspects including the writing, the acting, the special effects and the score.

The acting is really solid, mainly because of the direction, let's admit it, Mark Hamill is a very average actor, but thanks to a good direction, he gave a really good performance, same thing with most of the cast. The writing is competent, granted, not great or anything. The visual effects are amazing just like the previous movie and the score...Come on, it's a Star Wars score.

Let's now get into some of the flaws:

First, there are pointless subplots that could've been cut or could've been shorter, like the Casino scene, everyone says it's a pointless scene and I agree.

Then we have the character development, most of the characters don't get any development and they basically stay the same as in the last movie, I didn't learn anything new from characters like Finn, Poe or Snoke who are wasted in this movie. New characters like Rose are really forgettable (I don't hate the actress like many of you a**holes did, she did the best with the material she had which was very poor, and yes, I agree that this character did the stupidest thing in the movie). But we get a new character arc for Luke and Rey. Hate me, but I loved Luke's character. It seems like all of you expected a Luke like from the comic books or other non-film Star Wars media, that's an overpowered wise man, but that would've been the most boring and predictable thing in the world, so it's refreshing to see this character in that "leave me alone, I'm tired of all that Jedi stuff" mood. He was honestly the best character of the movie, the best written and developed character.

So, that's The Last Jedi for me. It's not a great movie, it's a really good movie from a filmmaking perspective. I like Star Wars movies, I'm not a hardcore fan so I could give a flying sh*t about the comic books and all that stuff, what really matters to me are the movies and The Last Jedi is certainly a really good entry, not as good as The Force Awakens or Empire, but certainly BETTER than the prequels, you wanna know why? There's no bad acting, there's no cringeworthy writing, there's no "I don't like sand", there's no overuse of CGI that makes the movie look like a Playstation game...So yes, hate this review all you want, but you must stop using your fanboy glasses and admit that this is far from being the worst Star Wars movie, RELAX!… Expand

The Last Jedi is quite overrated by critics and the movie was alright in my opinion, not as bad as audiences would tell you. But that doesn’t mean it’s a great movie either. I’m somewhere in between and the film still is very flawed. ThereThe Last Jedi is quite overrated by critics and the movie was alright in my opinion, not as bad as audiences would tell you. But that doesn’t mean it’s a great movie either. I’m somewhere in between and the film still is very flawed. There are dumb subplots that should’ve been resolved sooner and even the good parts aren’t all too amazing. The movie should have more like a 70 on Rotten Tomatoes, not a 91, stupid Rotten Tomatoes. Conversely, Return of the Jedi should have at least 90 because that movie is underrated. Dumb critics! When will they learn?… Expand

Not the best Star Wars film, like The Force Awakens & the anthology series.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this movie. It's been over a year and a half since it was released. I'm writing this because as soon as I got out of the avant premiere, the hype didn't let me think clearly because I loved it too much. I think Rian Johnson's proposal was very well captured and gave it its own identity in colors, dramatic tensions, unexpected twists and giving us an important reflection on what "force" means. A blow to the center of the jedi ego. And Luke understood that well and his omnipresence levitating in a Zen position left me with an image that was engraved forever. But it is not the only one, this film is full of glorious moments. 1. The beginning is powerful and reaffirms the concept of resistance and sacrifices for an ideal, as with Rose's sister. It also shows us the risk of a badly planned attack with Poe at the head and that Leia lets him know. 2. Leia using force (helped by Luke). Although this scene was not well achieved from the visual point of view, it was a blow for those of us who thought we were losing one of the banners of resistance. 3. The mental encounters between Kylo and Rey gave an unknown and quite interesting dimension to the connection between two people who feel with great power the force. The dupla that both generate is very powerful. 4. The encounters and disagreements of Rey with the Force. Visually it was wonderful as Luke lets him know how the force is present in everything and that it is not something that is dominated, but something that is internalized. Rey lived it from both good and evil. 5. Snoke's death and Kylo's battle with Rey united and then facing each other. I can see that scene over and over and always end up amazed. It is one of the epic moments and again in colour, dramatic tension and the batten fights themselves make it spectacular. One of the turns that tells us that Snoke was not as powerful as he made himself look (and that with the trailer of episode 9 can be confirmed) and in which you don't know what will happen. I'm sure we all think that Rey could join Kylo in that fragment of tension. Very well accomplished all this. 6. Linked to the previous scene. The collision of the resistance cruiser with the new order cruiser at the speed of light was PRECIOUS. The intensity of the scene added to the tension of the encounter between Luke and Rey. Epic moments in a battle that gave no dramatic truce.

However, I think that, despite the good I pointed out, the film falls into two big problems. The first has to do with the risky presentation of a skeptical Luke who apparently gave up. As for the substance of what I wanted to convey I think the message was fine, but it didn't look genuine. Not at least the Luke we knew. That's why a lot of the fans were disappointed. However, I don't find that it takes the strength out of the film, because clearly it wasn't about the old glories anymore and the dialogue with Yoda I think fixes that risky and controversial decision a bit.

The second problem has to do with gaps in the script and the loose presentations of Finn and Rose's story and their search in Kanto Byte. Seeing it in retrospect ends up being left over in the film. Sub-Admiral Holdor was clear from the start about her sacrifice without telling anyone. Thus, the intervention of these characters became irrelevant, even the fight with Phasma. Finn might even have saved the day with his sacrifice, but Disney was not able to make that decision. The kiss that the characters give each other feels very foreign and out of place to what was happening in the film.

The third problem has to do with disney humor. The dramatic tensions were very well achieved and within the epic of the projection of Luke's strength, when he is shot from the AT-AT and dust is shaken when nothing happens to him, he felt little serious and that bothered me.

Taking stock, and exactly 7 months before the release of episode IX, I think it's a film, because of the low, controversial about Luke's treatment and the stories of Finn and Rose. In the rest, I feel it's a great movie and very entertaining. The tension between Kylo and Rey stands out above all else. The meaning of the "force" is a direct nod to what Yoda and Obi Wan once taught Luke and the message of endurance is more than recorded with the final scene of the boy who brings the broom closer by the force. It was never necessarily a matter of being pre-terminated, but a matter of learning.… Expand

Pretty ridiculous. There are a lot of unesccesry & wtf moments. An example of that, is when Rose Tico nearly kills Finn after he was about to risk his life inorder to many lives. And then Rose kisses Finn while people are dying in the background.

The conflict between Rey and Kylo, was very well driven, the characters arc with Poe and Fin are interesting and are real.

The movie nobody online can be civil to each other about. People love it, people hate it, and they think there is no in between. Well, there is. I am mixed with this movie. It has some great moments and it has some terrible moments. For the great, the movie is visually spectacular, exciting, exceptionally acted, well-directed, emotional and has an amazing score from John Williams. Now, for the terrible, the whole scene on Canto Bight with Finn and Rose was dumb and heavy-handed in its political message. Also, as a follow-up to The Force Awakens, a movie I still really like, it felt like Rian was trying to go off a blank slate and disregard everything that happened in that movie. Also, Luke's character was only semi-butchered; thankfully he does have an arch in this movie. But, overall, I am in the middle with this movie. But, that's ok because I have a right to my opinion, which the internet seems to be ignorant to that fact. Please be civil to others' opinions and don't go saying awful things to the actors just because you were dissatisfied with the character they played. That is a **** thing to do. So yeah. I give this movie a solid C+. I don't hate it, but it's not that great either.… Expand

The Last Jedi is a very meh kind of Star Wars film. There are a lot oWatch episode 8 multiple times on Netflix but am having trouble understanding why critics have rated this movie so high. Makes me think Disney paid off these critics. The Last Jedi is a very meh kind of Star Wars film. There are a lot o flaws. I respect Rian Johnson's decision to take risks but there are a couple cornerstone pieces with the franchise he tampered with too much. Turning Luke into a hermit was extremely disappointing. He made Luke Skywalker the most beloved hero in Star Wars not likeable in this film and that's an insult. He should have looked at what JJ Abrams did with Han Solo and followed his strategy, to bring back the character and make him feel like the one we all remember. Rose, DJ, and Admiral Holdo's character development is god awful, it's almost as if we are supposed to hate them from the start but instead like them. The Canto Bight scene gets the plot carried away. Leia's drifting through space with the force is very strange. The concept of hyperspacing a ship into Snoke's ship is also not Star Wars. although, this film does have strong moments, the opening scene action is great, Rey and Kylo dueling together in Snoke's chamber, and thr final battle scene at Crait. The ending was good too with everyone reuniting on the millennium falcon. This is probably the best visual start wars movie made too it looks very good. Overall this movie is just okay, the critics are giving this too high of a score and some of the users feelings are a little too hurt about what they did with Luke Skywalker. Not one of the better Star Wars, but I do like it better than episodes 1 and 2 of the prequels because it has more action and feels more like a Star Wars film. Here's to hoping JJ Abrams can finish the sequel trilogy off with a bang with episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker.… Expand

A groundbreaking piece in the Star Wars Saga’s storytelling. Rian takes risks that eventually “switch up the game” and bring an interesting unexpected value to the new trilogy.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fan hate about this movie doesn't make much sense to me. After the replay of A New Hope we had in 2015, I was really pleased with a bolder and original episode. The only major flaw I saw was Admiral Ackbar's callous death. But I see no point in complaining about a jedi milking an alien. And Rose isn't that bad. It's the second best Star Wars, in my opinion: The Empire Strikes Back is still unsurpassed.… Expand

It has ruined a lot of stuff that makes Star Wars what it is. This includes the unneeded comedy by the way.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The eighth edition to the saga left me wanting. I thought there would be more focus on Rey and Luke's relationship. Not much backstory for Luke other than his failure with Kylo. Still not clear how the images shown in TFA when Rey finds Luke/Anakin's lightsaber coincides with Luke's telling of teaching/failure Ben Solo. Overall a strange twist on hyperspace rules were introduced, expect books and comics to clean that up, as hyperspace kamikaze should be able to eliminate any fleet or death star per TLJ new rules.… Expand
