Movie Nation
Roger Moore | Dec 12, 2017
"Intentions and inspiration aside, Last Jedi doesn’t add up to an “Empire Strikes Back” for this trilogy. There’s no romance, little pathos and no real punch-in-the-gut moment. Its emotionally sterile tone was set with “The Force Awakens,” and that’s proven hard to shake, new innovations and plot twists aside." ... Read full review

Once again, Star Wars: The Last Jedi manages to bring back everything that made its predecessor worth seeing. It was worth all the hype itOnce again, Star Wars: The Last Jedi manages to bring back everything that made its predecessor worth seeing. It was worth all the hype it deserves which makes it another one of the best of this year and the only movie with such a score automatically makes this one of the best films of this year in my opinion. What makes this film truly deserves the score are the surprises it gives us. Like literally, they are completely unexpected and aren't forced onto the film unlike every other film that were released this year I see as a joke. To tell what it attempts to do is completely difficult to say in a couple of words because they keep changing as the film progresses to its end and I got to say, it was worth waiting for another great film of this year.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I left this movie, I felt conflicted. It had taken almost all of my expectations and completely flipped them on their head. I was expecting a much different movie to the one I got. However, after careful consideration, both of the movie itself and for what it does to Star Wars canon, I have decided that I quite like this movie.

I do disagree with a number of choices this movie made, from having Luke be even more of a washed up hermit than I expected him to be, to killing off Snoke at such an early stage. However, I don't think it deserves the level of hate it has gotten. Once I made peace with the decisions the movie made, I was able to see it as what it was, a beautifully made movie that makes hard choices that move the franchise in a bold new direction. And as much as it hurts to let the past die, I'm confident that this new direction can give life to Star Wars for decades to come.

On the other side, I don't think this movie is AS revolutionary as some people are making it out to be. The Jedi order is not being thrown away; it's returning to its roots, to a time before they had become the complacent, Republic-serving, priestly Order they had become. There's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment in the Last Jedi, where you see that the sacred Jedi texts were, in fact, not in that tree when it caught on fire. Rey and secretly taken them with her when she left, as evidenced a by them being shown on the Falcon at the end as Finn is grabbing a blanket. Thus, when Yoda set the tree ablaze, he wasn't burning down the Jedi tradition, because as an omniscient Force ghost, he knew the books weren't there. That means when he said "Those books don't contain anything the girl Rey doesn't already have," he literally meant that she has the books. This means when she is training to become a Jedi, and eventually training a new Jedi Order herself, she'll be building it from the original Jedi teachings.

Really, this movie brings the whole saga full circle, enhancing the prequels by acknowledging how the Jedi failed during that era and making it a central plot point. The Jedi philosophy isn't bad, no, what the Jedi had become over a thousand years of peace and complacency is bad. This film makes the promise that the Jedi Order will be rebuilt to be what is was originally supposed to be. And that makes me excited for the future. (Also the possible future of showing what the old Jedi Order was like when it was still in it's full glory, Rian Johnson trilogy anyone?) But that's just my opinion.… Expand

Episode VIII has more good things than bad things, but has too many bad things to be considered a cinematic masterpiece. It has fun, excitingEpisode VIII has more good things than bad things, but has too many bad things to be considered a cinematic masterpiece. 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film is bad and I do not like it. The dialogue is mostly good, and the acting is fantastic. The visuals are incredible, and so is the fight choreography (what little there is in the film). I also enjoy that the film respects the prequels and celebrates in a balance between the new and old Star Wars. The only reason I don't like the film is strictly Luke Skywalker's unfortunate and unseemly death. I mean - Rose was kind of in the way, but that's minor compared to the horrid act that is killing Luke Skywalker. Such an event will not be forgotten. Moving on from the past to focus strictly on the new is a naive and childish concept that has turned a franchise with some potential into a franchise with essentially no potential whatsoever. Episode IX will be interesting, but I am not in the slightest bit excited for its release. Solo and Kenobi will almost certainly be horrendous films and fail critically. This film was an atrocity to mankind. Artists need to learn that their actions have consequences. I do hope that Disney learns their lesson, and avoids damaging other franchises such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe and The X-Files. I suppose we'll see. In the meantime - go see the first two thirds of The Last Jedi! It's a fantastic first two thirds of a film! Have fun!… Expand

That's the only good review I've got on! Note Zero in the Star Wars question! Luke would never dare think of killing his own nephew! He held out until the last minute for Vader's redemption! Ben is his sister's son with his best friend! How would he think of killing him? What Jedi Master is that? Finally, Luke was portrayed as a coward! A coward who flees from the fight out of fear! At least I won't spend another dime on any franchise product and that includes all the upcoming movies! And let's together boycott episode 9 for Disney to feel in the pocket the size of the **** they did! I will also boycott Rian Johnson, the new enemy of Star Wars Fans… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Napoleon Dynamite makes a great villain. I love preachy, condescending social justice themes in my sci fi (whether I agree with them or not). You really don’t have enough girl power in this movie - More cowbell! Laura Dern’s character is such a pivotal historical figure in the series and deserved such a large climatic role unlike Admiral Akbar who you rightfully unceremoniously killed off and literally gave his seat to someone no one cared about. I love how you developed a new character - Rose but completely ignored any development of prior main characters. I love how righteous and powerful every female character is in the movie and all male characters are impulsive and/or bumbling broken idiots. More cowbell!
/sarcasm

Seriously you could have saved this movie if you put any of the franchise actor in the Laura Dern role. What is her name again? Admiral Mary Sue?… Expand
