But with so much going on, the movie loses it's intimacy, but never ceases to lose your attention. As the grandeur and themes are daring to say the least. it's worth the trip.… Expand

Perforated with plot holes and inconsistencies following the 7th film, “The Last Jedi” is one of the most mediocre Star Wars films onlyPerforated with plot holes and inconsistencies following the 7th film, “The Last Jedi” is one of the most mediocre Star Wars films only eclipsed by The Phantom Menace in poor pacing, largely uninteresting characters (Kylo Ren remains the best thing the new series has done - and much of that belongs to Adam Driver’s performance and not the writers who are hellbent on making him some angsty lost teen rather than a proper follow up to Darth Vader) along with incredibly awkward moments that were meant to come across as poignant but instead came off as borderline comedic. Many of the critics are seemingly jubilant to see modern political points being touched on in a Star Wars movie, and thus it is championed as “brave” and “daring”, but don’t let that fool you; this film is as hollow as it is politically pandering. It may forever be remembered as the film that ultimately killed the sequel franchise, as JJ Abrams was left to pick up the pieces and then jam them together in hopeful desperation that they might stick. Whether it truly did or not is ultimately contingent on the eyes of the beholder.… Expand

It has a completely useless side story with Finn and Rose, essentially severing anything interesting that could have happened with Finn's character. Poe gets cucked by a purple haired space lady who was frankly just a d!ckhead general for not actively sharing her plan with everyone else. Phasma...died, so... thanks for doing absolutely nothing with her. Rey, Kylo and Luke were pretty interesting, but they only consisted of like, 1/3 the movie. I was initially on board with the idea of "Subverting Expectations", but not when literally every subplot set up in TFA gets "Subverted" into a dead end.… Expand

Episode 8's agenda promised this through the anticipation of what Indie filmmaker Rian Johnson would formulate as he's proven before in his other work. The Last Jedi is tonally more alike Lucas' direction. To have a filmmaker cut from a similar cloth to Lucas, this movie delivered things we rarely see in studio blockbusters nowadays.

I respect the ambition and thematic conceptualization of Episode 8. It's challenging, subverting and never holds back a punch. It disregards subtlety and goes right in for the kill. I adore that kind of confidence from a filmmaker. What Johnson succeeds at is prioritizing his egotistic wet dream of a Star Wars movie over the necessity of the story. It's a double-edged sword. Cinematically this is a bewildering, over the top and epic piece of entertainment that is busy doing it's own thing. As a continuation following Episode 7, this 2nd act is more of an Oceans Twelve rather than a Dark Knight. The areas of emphasis and experimental approach as to how Johnson conveys his story leaves you enthralled, but not moved.… Expand

I had high hopes but upon watching and then re-watching just in case I even asked myself if Star Wars was worth moving forward with anymore.

The disrespect to the characters, franchise and fan base is almost unreal. I don’t need to say much that hasn’t been said already but all I can say is…. FU Rian Johnson and FU Kathleen Kennedy you both almost single handed destroyed Star Wars. You both don’t know **** about what we love about Star Wars.

Thank God for Filoni and Favreu, they have restored my faith on this franchise (that I have loved all my life). Also thanks to Respawn Entertainment that did and amazing job with Jedi Fallen Order.

I hope Rian Johnson (or J.J.) never touches Star Wars again, I hope Kathleen Kennedy is let go as Lucas clearly didn’t know what he was doing by given her the blessing to protect this franchise. I don’t even know how they got away with such a horrible movie/plot and disjointed trilogy that doesn’t make sense at all and doesn’t push the franchise forward towards anything interesting or meaningful.

I don’t hate the actors, they all seem genuinely lovely. I wanted to love Rey but her character sucks, Finn had so much potential but nothing interesting ever happened with him. Same with Poe.

The whole trilogy is a serious waste of time that its only purpose is to piss off the fan base that does care for this franchise and are willing to spend money on it, all for the sake of pushing a SJW agenda and teach a lesson no one F’n asked for. Star Wars was for everyone no one ever said it wasn’t but Kathleen Kennedy assumed it only appealed to “males, nerds and geeks”….. now that I do find insulting.… Expand

This film is utterly nonsensical from start (where bombs are dropped in space) to finish (with Finns failed destruction of the enemy). TheThis film is utterly nonsensical from start (where bombs are dropped in space) to finish (with Finns failed destruction of the enemy). The main story line has the good guy fleet being chased by the bad guy fleet. The bad guys cannot catch up with the good guys but the good guys are running out of fuel. Meanwhile, a group of good guys is able to fly off to another planet, do some silly stuff there, and return and catch up with the bad guys. The film is just schlock stiched together to grab money from those who will see anything with "Star Wars" on it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have a tremendous amount of stuff to say and not nearly enough characters, even with 5000. Bear with me as I try to quantify my thoughts and prioritize what I deem most important.

To start small, there are plotholes abundant. From the 1.5 hour long pointless space chase to the casino planet subplot, it's all pointless. Vice Admiral Holdo withholds information from Poe simply for dramatic effect and General Hux refuses to send TIE Fighters to intercept Ackbar's capital ship because dramatic effect. The casino planet exists to interweave a theme of animal rights and the entire subplot does nothing, absolutely nothing, to the main plot. It's literally pointless. Then, after about 90 minutes of time wasted, we reach the climax of the film which lasts about 20 minutes and there is no actual battle.

Then there's the lore breakers. For example, we see the Resistance (which I'm still not sure what they're "resisting") is reduced to a handful of starpilots and commanding officers. Why? This is a big galaxy, right? There was a Rebellion but 30 year prior. Where is everyone? That Rebellion was massive; so massive they won. The lore established by the Disney canon recognizes that billions, even trillions of Imperial citizens rose up to topple the Imperial Remnant and the First Order is all that remains. If anything, the First Order should be dwindling at this point. So why is the Resistance so flipping small? The Rebellion had millions of cells, as made clear in the TV series Rebels. It seems more likely all of this was manufactured for dramatic effect.

I am ok with Star Wars going in a bold new direction. That's fine. That's encouraged. I do not want to watch the same trilogy twice. Give me something new. However, and this is a big point, don't undo the previous plot. This seems petty, I know, but then what's the point, story-wise, of the original trilogy? Everything ends up backfiring and failing. In destroying the world created from the original trilogy, you honestly make the original trilogy a waste of time. We have to have a coherent plot from point A to point B: Phantom Menace to Episode IX. This is (hopefully) not a whiny critique from a fanboy, but an honest one from the perspective of all nine episodes. We've now created a world where 1-6 are somewhat less important of a story. If you want to have a good series of movies, then each of the films play off of one another to create one large plotline that tells one big story: the Skywalker Saga, as Lucas put it back in the day. This seems to throw that out the window. 7-9 shouldn't be a new story but a continuation of the bigger plot from 1-6; otherwise make them anthology films. These are no longer episodes in a bigger story, but three films completely separate from the previous 6. I think they did for marketing purposes rather than to maximize story potential.

Then there's Luke. He's received much criticism from the fanbase for being an inaccurate portrayal, even Mark Hamill has made it clear this is not who Luke Skywalker is, however, I'll throw that out the window. We'll disregard that the man who redeemed Darth Vader was about to kill his own sister's son because he was tempted by the dark. We'll manufacture a valid excuse and move on. However, I cannot forgive the fact that he nearly gets his ass beat by Rey, who apparently is the master of the Force despite having no training and they simply write that off because Yoda said "nah, she's an expert already. No training needed. Don't question it." Luke could have been utilized so well, but instead all we get is a mindless, pathetic, whiny old man who doesn't do much of anything and dies in the end for no reason except for, you guessed it, dramatic effect. (Remember Ackbar died so they could use Holdo to sell more toys?) Also what the hell did Chewbacca do?

All in all, this film, while visually stunning, acted perfectly, and has some amazing moments, like Holdo's sacrifice (which could've been Ackbar, but oh well), fails to utilize the potential it had to tie itself in with the first six films and instead chooses to line the characters at the chopping block and throw the entire plot out the window. This along with the long space chase, lack of adventure, and pointless characters seems to be nothing more than a marketing ploy that sacrifices plot for drama.

The film performs just well enough for us to wait in anticipation for the next episode. Overall, "The Last Jedi" is a solid entry and nothing more.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, my rant back then was awful. I complained about the film, but then I went off about users needing their voices to be heard, and while that would fit for Rotten Tomatoes, it wouldn't fit here exactly. Let me redo this.
The movie is filled with awful comedy. The jokes get in the way, are awkward, and just drag on. The Porgs are also annoying and unnecessary.
Finn, Poe, BB-8, Phasma, Hux, and the other side characters are mistreated and don't really do anything. And because they barely interact with Rey and Kylo, they come off as unnecessary filler. The Canto Bight part was irritating and long, and Holdo's stupidity was painful to sit through.
I also hated how main plots from TFA were concluded, like the character of Snoke, Finn and Phasma's rivalry, Rey's parents being nobodies, Rey possibly joining the dark side, Kylo posibly joining the light side, etc. With all of those being finished, this trilogy basically became a rip off of the original trilogy. TFA was already so similar to A New Hope, and this just became Empire Strikes Back. A character trains to be a Jedi and learns more about themselves, people need help fighting the bad guys so some of them go to a fancy planet for help, main characters have a personal feud and try to convince the other one to join their side, etc.

I did like the story between Rey, Luke, and Kylo. That kept me interested in what was going to happen next. But this film is bogged down by the new direction and writing.
"EPISODE IX WILL PROBABLY KILL CHEWBACCA, HAVE BAD JOKES, AND WILL BE A RIPOFF OF RETURN OF THE JEDI!"
Me from the future: I got 2 out of 3 of those right. Chewbacca was nearly killed, but Leia took his place instead.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to say: I was disappointed. This movie manages to stand a bit more on its own than The Force Awakens or Rogue One, but it still riffs pretty heavily on the old trilogy's story beats, and is a mixed bag in terms of characters, story choices, and tone. That last part might be the biggest problem. It pulls a Marvel at times and undercuts serious or important moments with ill-timed humor. The movie does little to develop Finn despite plenty of screen time, and Captain Phasma and Snoke are as lame as ever. Good riddance to both. Kylo Ren is still a compelling villain, and his and Rey's story is the highlight. I think Johnson missed the mark on the character of Luke pretty significantly, making him inconsistent with who he became after ROTJ, and forcing him to arbitrarily backpedal as a character, just to bring him back toward heroism in the end so the movie can pretend he has a story arc. The Last Jedi is less slavish in its callbacks to previous movies than The Force Awakens was, but what this lays bare is that the new stuff has comparatively little to offer, from the world building to the young male leads, to the incredibly corny new character Rose, to the action (awesome throne room fight aside). The movie's latter sections get slightly more interesting than its borderline-boring first half, but I had hoped to be much more impressed by Rian Johnson's take on the Star Wars galaxy than this.… Expand

I remember so many action and sci-fi movies I thought were pretty good and the reviews would go, "meh, cliche script, gaping plot holes, no character development, meh", even as cult followings formed around them. And that state of affairs seemed natural - they were flawed movies, that we found peculiar and idiosyncratic reasons to love. It's so weird to find the situation reversed now, with armies of critics thrusting laurels upon these truly disembrained amorphous blockbuster heaps, while longtime fans of the franchise seem to be the only ones who care enough to spot the flaws. Something interesting worth investigating has happened in the political economy of film criticism.

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

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For all who don't know me I'm a Star Wars fan. I watch the movies/shows, read the books/comics, play the games, and on occasion have been known to write some fan fiction. However going into this movie I knew that some things with this franchise needed to change. Don't get me wrong The Force Awakens is my favorite Star Wars film that has come out of the Disney era, but nonetheless I was conscious of how it stuck to the template of the original Star Wars, for better or worse, and hoped that this film would find a way to break away from that cycle and cover new ground. I say all this because I feel like the audience members reading my review deserve to know where I'm coming from as I write this and with that said I'll continue on to tell you that unlike the internet, I actually enjoy this movie. First off I want to talk or write about what this movie does so well: defining the characters of Rey and Kylo Ren. In the previous film Rey is a orphan who was left on the planet Jakku. Although she knows that they're never coming back for her, she holds on to the hope that they are really right their with her in the form of her mentors Han Solo and now Luke Skywalker. Parallel to that is our villain Kylo Ren, who knows who is family is and feels let down by them with the weight of trying to live up to their legacies. People either expect really great or really terrible things out of him and as a result he's conflicted, being caught in between both the light and the dark side of the force. This causes him to idolize his grandfather, the fearsome Darth Vader, while he misses his parents. In the end he chooses the dark over the light murdering his father, but he is left unsatisfied and broken. Both characters are pulled together and realize that they each have more in common then they think causing them to stand together as Ren kills Snoke to fight off his elite guards. When the dust settles Rey has to confront her greatest fear: that her parents are in fact nobodys who didn't give a crap about her. This revelation is great for the progression of the story as it is accompanied by the theme: you don't have to come from somewhere to be somebody. A real refresher for anyone whose been a fan for a while. We also see how Kylo refuses Rey's invitation to join her on the light side and how she refuses to join him on the dark. They are polar opposites. Kylo killed Snoke since he was the last person in his path for power.

But what caused Ben Solo to become Kylo Ren? It was his uncle Luke who thought he could prevent another Vader by neutralizing his own nephew and now must content with his failures. At the start he is a tragic figure who has made the ultimate mistake. The idealists ideals have failed and so he has given up. This upsets Rey as this is not what she or the audience was expecting out of the legendary Luke Skywalker, but through the arrival of Rey and a nice pep talk from puppet, not cgi, but puppet Yoda he finds his way and reconnects with the force. Distracting the First Order so that the Resistance can escape to fight another day. Now with all that said, typed, let's discuss the Resistance in this movie. We see them on the ropes throughout, however Finn and Rose go on a side quest where they end up saving a few fathiers and because of that, "It's all worth it," while their friends are dying at the other side of the galaxy. Face slap. Hey at least from this we get the introduction of D J who is a great character, but that could have been accomplished with so many better plot points. Finn also seems to take a step back from where we left off with him in the last movie, however I understand that he was just in it to save Rey the last time and that this time around he was committee to the larger cause. Poe for the majority of this movie is stuck aboard the Raddus unable to help which is an interesting position for his character to be in, but he that entire position as well as Canto Bight could have all been avoided if Holdo had just mentioned that they had some kind of plan, ANY kind of plan. I also want to mention that Hux and Phasma especially are wasted in this film before going on to compliment Rian's overall vision, John William's score, the cinematography, and the work of the actors before I go on to give this movie a 7.5/10.… Expand

Star Wars: Episode VIII seems more like a culmination of all the reasons what is wrong with movies nowadays. A beloved, renowned franchiseStar Wars: Episode VIII seems more like a culmination of all the reasons what is wrong with movies nowadays. A beloved, renowned franchise like Star Wars goes in the hands of a big company which is all into secularism. Sometimes I feel Disney movies are not movies. They are festivals. They celebrate diversity. And the worst part is that Disney, the religion which is celebrating this festival, doesn't take very kindly of the "infidels". As a result they are more concerned about the movie doing good in China and Africa than actually telling a good story. They can imagine little girls from Middle East play with Rey Palpatine dolls and porg/fathier stuffed toys, but not giving the fans what they have been asking for all these years.
One thing I really like about this movie is that it is able to deliver the needed impact using its CGI. The way they used the FTL to tear right across the enemy ships was so cool. But yeah, that's the only one thing I like about the movie. To show that one scene they ruined the whole concept of FTL travelling. Luke Skywalker lives between adorable Porgs, but he's only Luke Skywalker for the namesake. He doesn't do anything that makes us feel that he's important to the story. Heck, literally his role in the movie is that he dies!
This is exactly what's wrong with movies today. First they take a popular franchise that doesn't make movies anymore, or has a lot of books/games/TV shows. Then they get the fans hyped to make them realise they are about to make something big for them. In order to do this they sell their merchandise because they know the gullible fans will be absolutely ready to lap it all up. After that they will throw in some secularism - make a white protagonist, a black sidekick, an Asian man/woman who will help them, someone who is being oppressed because there's absolutely no other way a hero can be a hero if he doesn't speak for someone's rights. An important character should also be there who will do nothing other than fan service. An absolutely meaningless plot twist will also do some good. With all that done, just add a big CGI fight and get over with it.
So in conclusion, Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi is not a movie. It's a fan service. This wouldn't have been a problem if it DID fan service and not become one. We had watched this movie for a plot about Jedi fighting the Sith, not for seeing Finn free some fathiers. The movie is set a long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away. So all this SJW stuff doesn't make any sense.… Expand

To think that a Star Wars film could represent some of the most negative aspects of modern cinema, modern pop culture, fandom, and evenTo think that a Star Wars film could represent some of the most negative aspects of modern cinema, modern pop culture, fandom, and even society, is the sad reality we live in. Once an institution of imagination, technological achievement and effective storytelling simplicity, The Last Jedi becomes the antithesis of what Star Wars once stood for, becoming an icon of one of the most cancerous social mentalities of our times, and its damage, not only to the entertainment industry, but to the cult of fiction (and even the making of such) should not be understated.

It's divisive in a way that it shouldn't, its perplexing in its creative decisions (like infamously firing the director and main creative force half way through the trilogy. Mozel tov, Kathleen Kennedy), and its experimental in extremely unappropiate ways, even going as far as to insult any member of the audience that disagreed to the genius, as if us mere mortals weren't deserving of such a masterpiece. An honor it shouldn't proudly boast of, since its juvenile, "first draft" pimples could be smelled from the back seat of the theater. It gets an extra star for some token efforts in terms of art direction, but that ain't saying much. It isn't enough to consider it "style over substance", even. That's the level of tokenism it executes. Then again, Disney's/Lucasfilm's history of corporate racism and performative activism is evidence enough of their tendencies of tokenism, so that's that. Speaking of which, it makes you feel sorry for the cast, who had to smile through the fallout, in what once was the dream of any aspiring actor, now just a regretful stain in their résumé.

This "movie" hasn't faded into the oblivion of the public consciousness solely on account of its infamous legacy since, as far as its cinematic merits go, its as mediocre as you would expect from a cashgrab sequel, Amazing Spider-Man 2 style, which is not exactly what you paid for in the ticket booth. Its painfully mediocre to the point of frustration (since a greater evil wouldn't be this damaging), barely holding a candle to the likes of Attack of the Clones. At least that one had a decent lightsaber battle, something TLJ couldn't even bother to attempt. Its bland, it undermines the previous movie and its predecessors, it tarnishes its legacy, and it sent pop culture into an obscurantism of sorts. It's fair to deem it "one of the worst sequels of all time", as it truly is an excercise of caution for any aspiring filmmaker, writer, and artist who honestly cares about the craft.

Not even the memes can save this one.… Expand

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