Star Wars: The Last Jedi

I got so high before going in to see "The Last Jedi" it's a wonder I figured out how to get into the theater. We started rocking the shatter bong hardcore, just pump it, pump it, till you can actually feel your brain melting, then hit that nail and do it again and again. At some point somebody asked the question "where are we?" and while I was reflecting philosophically on the matter, somebody else pointed out that we were parked in a lot by the cineplex and we slowly realized that we were here to see 'The Last Jedi'! I could barely function at all, so I went to my old go-to routine of donning dark glasses and a white cane to help disguise my complete stonification by pretending I was just some poor blind guy stumbling around and knocking t...

My oldest son, as well as myself of course, wanted to watch this movie already before Christmas when it went up Geneva but it was pretty much sold out (unless you wanted to sit at the very edge of the theatre). I manage to book tickets for yesterday though soheres my ramblings about the movie.

As usual with these kind of movies, where there is a large following of fans, there is also many dissenting voices. Some people apparently are going as far as to want this movie to be undone. Well, my take on that is that these people need to grow up or let go or both. Luke is no longer a young farm boy running around saving the universe. The Star Wars universe and its characters are evolving and that is the way it should be and the way it is. Time f...

There is so much to love about The Last Jedi. I was very entertained watching this 8th Star Wars saga film, I'll see it again, there's some truly beautiful scenes, all that jazz. But I am not fully on board with The Last Jedi. The film is a fun watch, and if you were to take it as a whole, then place it in a bubble, it's a pretty good movie too, but a lot about it is... Pointless. I'm not saying the movie was pointless, it has a lot to offer, and deserves its place as Episode VIII, but there are moments started within The Last Jedi that end up being pointless by the time the credits roll, and more than that, it goes back to ideas from the Star Wars saga as a whole, and makes them pointless too.

Final rating:½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didnt quite work as a whole.

Really disappointing. Our heroes of Star Wars have essentially wasted their lives and achieved nothing.

We were promised sequels and got a retread. I for one would have loved to see the building of the Galactic Republic against terrorists of the Imperial Remnant. Instead, we got Failure Luke, Failure Leah, gone nowhere Chewie and a rebel alliance that appeared to entirely fail to do anything meaningful after episode 6.

I actually have less difficulty accepting 1,2 and 3 into canon then I do this pap. My headcanon has already decided, these movies do not count.

The Last Jedi started with a very tense emotion, capturing all viewers' attention tightly including mine (I've seen all movie episodes of Star Wars series so this type of scenario should look familiar to me).

This tense and epic feeling filled the entire film, so even it is a bit lengthy, people won't sleep over :) however, the scenes involving Rey and Luke on the isolated island planet look super quiet and mindful. It was similar to the scene in previous episode when Luke was seeking help from the Yoda Master. However, it felt more complex, because never had Yoda been described being evil, not a bit.

One tiny detail that I felt redundant and unconvincing was the reincarnation of Leia Princess. How did she fly back to the ship? As far...

Star Wars: The Last Jedi This Is Not The Film Youre Looking For

Star Wars: The Force Awakens kicked off the Sequel Trilogy and many proclaimed the movie has returned Star Wars back to form. Though the plot of the movie is literally the same as A New Hope, The Force Awakens invoked mysticism of the characters and plot elements and raised numerous unanswered questions that would hopefully be answered in the next installment. Star Wars: The Last Jedi follows directly after the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and though the film attempts to hurl the Star Wars franchise into newer territory, the Last Jedi is a visually stunning spectacle that managed to undermine everything established in The Force Awakens and does great deal of disse...

Completely obliterates established Star Wars lore.

The writers of this film have no respect for Star Wars nor do they have an imaginative bone in their body. I felt like I was watching a shonen jump anime with the overuse of comic relief and usually placed in the most awkward moments. It was a desperate attempt to copy Marvel movie writers and failing miserably. The way they presented Luke Skywalker was an abomination and the story of the film was just plain boring and didn't make sense in so many places that listing it here would be so long that it would put you to sleep. I had to watch the film in 3 sittings it was so bad. Disney has now properly fucked Star Wars.

The last jedi is clearly the last SW movie I`ll ever see. Everything was bad. Story, casting, acting, CGI, everything.. I just want my 2 hours back.. please..

"Not the best but certainly the most overhyped"

As the Rebellion tries to evade The First Order, Rey asks Luke Skywalker to teach her the ways of the Force. Meanwhile Kylo Ren is still a whiny POS.

Director/writer Rian Johnson faced a gargantuan task. Two years ago J.J. Abrams did the impossible by making a successful sequel to Star Wars. Johnson had to follow that up with something more creative because lets be honest, The Force Awakens (TFA) was a copy. He succeeds partially.

When the movie started there were cheers. It doesnt get any better than the iconic opening crawl with John Williams score. Although theres a certain resemblance to The Empire Strikes Back (opening scene, Luke on the remote planet) The last Jedi isnt a copy. ...

This one killed the franchise! I have been watching Star Wars movies since they started literally, going to the theater and enjoying the fun. Love the original three. Liked the prequels well enough. I even enjoyed the cute little Ewok movies, with the kids.

These later films have been a mixed bag. Most were watchable enough, though not really the caliber of the old films Sure, the effects are great, but a good movie needs more than special effects and cool alien makeup and some fun droids.

This movie was seriously disappointing. Everything about familiar characters was changed, and the plot was so busy with pushing some weird agenda that it failed to deliver any of what we go to a Star Wars movie to see. At this stage, I cou...

Finally, I managed to watch one of my most anticipated movies of 2017! I am an authentic fanboy of the Star Wars saga and I loved its return two years ago when The Force Awakens was released. Everything looked better, sounded better and the story certainly didn't disappoint me. So, obviously, I was extremely looking forward to The Last Jedi.

Apparently, critics love Episode VIII but fans not so much. Me, well ... I don't LOVE it, but I do enjoy it very much. I do think it is a bit below the previous film's overall quality since it definitely has some issues the first one did not. I am also confident that I know why the fans are not loving...

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

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

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

There are also some incredible shots, the entire sequence at the end thrilled me - there's a particular part involving Laura Dern (even if her...

Can't get much worse than this apparently the clown that directed this directed a good episode of Breaking Bad something tells me there was a lot of editing after they kicked this clown off the site because if this is his style he is plainly clueless about Star Wars mainly but also on how to tell a coherent story. The only good thing about this garbage was the visuals but that's it don't bother you will just get pissed off watching this mess in the end like the rest of the theater we were in have never seen so many people booing in a theater.

Some of the praise, at least from the fans is because of the deviation from Star Wars tradition which, honestly, I have an issue with out the door. We are watching it because we want to see a Star Wars film.

And the deviation from Star Wars tradition seems especially ridiculous given how hard it tries--like The Force Awakens--to rely on nostalgia to keep the fans that felt alienated when Rey turned out to be, well, absolutely flawless, absolutely loved and trusted by absolutely everyone, and faced no real challenges or struggles...

...so, bank on nostalgia because giving the primary character a real literary struggle to add to a sense of character and plot is still seemingly out of the question.

And that kind of seems like a troupe...

How very, very disappointing this was. The not in the least menacing "Kylo Ren" (Adam Driver) has got the rag-tag rebel fleet under the command of his mum "Princess/General Leia" (Carrie Fisher) firmly in his sights, and only "Luke" (Mark Hamill) who is training "Rey" (Daisy Ridley) to become a Jedi too, can hope to thwart their ultimate destruction as the First Order's intergalactic pursuit gradually whittles down the remains of their fleet. Meantime, "Finn" (John Boyega) with the scene stealing BB-8 embark on an highly dangerous mission to nobble the tracking device that is putting them all in such peril. The original "Star Wars" (1977) is probably my favourite film ever, and this is not even a distant cousin. Sure there are a few vestige...

The Last Jedi is a masterpiece that most fans at the time of its release couldn't recognise.

The Last Jedi was a shining gem in an otherwise flawed trilogy of movies. It dared to be different, added complexity to characters, humanising them, and taught a valuable lesson that we are not defined by our mistakes, that they simply exist as a lesson for us to grow from.

With some of the most iconic scenes within Star Wars, such as the Throne Room fight or Luke's standoff, this movie felt like a true sequel to the original trilogy.

It's a shame that people were so critical of this movie, mostly due to its portrayal of Luke, that caused such a negative reception to the movie. Because at the heart of this movie is a beautiful story with be...
