Star Wars: The Last Jedi 2017

Really poorly written. Can't believe there were so many predictable moments and moments filled with complete and utter pathos. So, so dissappointed.

EDIT: upon rewatch, I believe the open bar and pageantry of the premiere enabled me to put on goggles that shielded me from the trainwreck that is this film. Rian Johnson is a sorry excuse for a writer. It will probably be retconned at least 5 times in episode 9.

World Premiere Review: Vague, Spoiler-Free Edition

It was amazing. It still does nostalgic fan service, but nowhere near what Episode 7 or Rogue One felt like. It feels like its own film. It gets a little slow and repetitive in the last half of the first third of the film, but after the major show down in the middle of the film, it's non-stop action that's brilliantly paced. GO SEE IT!

Other than the paid critics, who liked this movie? So disappointing and a complete waste of my time and money. Rian Johnson should be fired from Disney. Well done Rian, I didn't think it was possible but you made a film worse than Star Wars Episode 1.

loading replies

totally and completely disappointing. The influence of Disney was more than obvious, what was with all the comic relief? this is star wars not The princess bride. The casino scene was totally out of scope, Luke was out of character and completely bad, and of course there was no plot or story, just a Mashup of the first three star wars. I want to thank all the actors and director who ruined the movie.

This was......... weirdly written.......... Somehow the characters you have never seen before get better emotional scenes than the ones you have. Holdo, who?

loading replies

I was so disappointed in this film. Many reasons, however my top 5 are below:
1. Luke Skywalker was a sulking version of his younger self. He is a Jedi master who can't control his emotions but pouts and argues and then goes back on his word. Mark Hamil and Luke' character deserved better.
2. Not a single light saber duel....
3. The final battle scene, though slightly exciting, was underwhelming. Kylo Ren, who can stop a blaster bolt in mid air, can barley defeat those red guards. It should have had Snokes fighting both of them, which leads into #4
4. Snokes character is just killed off...nothing spectacular, not a worthy death to someone so powerful
5. The whole casino plot...stupid

I had none of the nostalgia that the Force Awakens gave me. What is there to look forward to in the next film....what was set up? What questions do we have other than...why was the Last Jedi so lame...

Final thought....Superwoman Leah????

I couldn't believe it. To be honest, it feels like a pilot for an awful series. Star Wars truly ended in 1983.

loading replies

It started off good the first few minutes then went downhill from there and never came back. It's a movie void of emotional depth and a film that treats their legacy characters like second class citizens. Disney just killed off another franchise. But hey, at least its better than VII because of the directing. But that still doesn't save this movie.

This is an 8~9 movie, but rating 10 as to offset all the delusional veteran fans.

loading replies

I'd rather watch a 9 hour documentary on Jar-Jar Binks than rewatch this movie. RIP franchise.

loading replies

Star Wars is dead, The Last Jedi killed it.

It will subvert your expectations, if you expected a good film, something that makes sense or is a movie with the Star Wars in its name.

It was an attempt to cut ties to almost everything that came before but failed to rebuild something - anything - new. Each pointless aswell as stupid action/decision/plot twist is followed by the next, sprinkled in are many unnecesary jokes (to appeal to a younger target audience one wants to believe) and the viewer is left with a complete mess.

Compared to the legacy this movie has, it is by far the worst film I've ever seen!
If this would have the been first movie in the series, it would still count as a very bad way to pass your time.

On the other hand, it would have been quite the cringe parody (that no one asked for) if renamed accordingly.

Terrible writing. Complete misunderstanding of the characters and story... I'm done with Star Wars. Was a good run, but it's over for me.

Forget everything the previous movie introduced because Rian Johnson got rid of it (farewell Snoke and Rey's parents).
Adam Driver does a better job as Kylo Ren and I really hope that his relationship with Rey will not become a cliché love story. Finn is useless, Poe is irritating, the characters in general make stupid decisions and the humor makes me cringe. I regret they didn't kill Leia when they had the chance (RIP Carrie Fisher), instead they made this ridiculous and senseless flying scene. As for Luke, Mark Hamill's performance is interesting and really good but the character is so different and strange that it's hard to see him like this and I hated his treatment.
Rian Johnson takes risks and tries something new but the result is a failure.
And I hate the Porgs (money, money, money !!!)

hello I'm rey, I know since 5 Minutes that I can use the force, Training? nah why. Im already more powerful than Luke, vader and Yoda together who cares if I and my friends are bad actors. there's also a whiney bad dude isnt that cool?

damn I wish Darth maul whipped my ass.

great example for good effects dont make a good Movie
a bad movie, it is.

I almost didn't finish it - took me three sittings. But I sure wish I didn't. Plot holes, plot holes, plot holes. Do anything with the force - all with no training. Survive space? Check. Use like a phone to have conversations with people across the universe? Check.

Also - let's forget plots that were setup in TFA. Who is Snoke? How did he come into power? Nevermind - he's dumb and let's his protege use the force to kill him right in front of his face. What is the New Republic? The Resistance? The Rebels? First Order? WTF?

Anyway, it's crap.

It's like that person you've seen before, but they are wearing other clothes and you're not sure if they are the same or not

To be honest, there were some redeeming qualities - the opening scene, hell, the whole first 20 minutes, were really good. The new generation of actors mostly does an incredible job, except Adam Driver. But gosh, the writing is fan-fic level, and the original cast was not even trying to act. Sad path to take the franchise and the IP.

Awful movie with a bad story, clumsy characters and a very bar idea of continue the SW saga.

I thought the movie was going okay but oml the movie became terrible when rey started to attack luke… she was going to beat the shit out of him?? Kylo murdered tons of kids but Luke is the bad guy O_o, what if Luke didn’t grab the broke spear in time or didn’t defend himself :sob::skull::sob: (I know the Disney Star Wars movies are bad) but that scene is probably the stupidest thing in the trilogy so far, lol Also the the 40 min pointless casino scene is stupid asf because if they could leave without the first order (who can track though lightspeed) tracking them why didn’t they tell the resistance so then everyone could leave and escape without being seen instead of towards the end…

If she would’ve let Finn sacrifice himself there it would’ve been the only redeeming thing about his character.. but nooooo “save those who we love” as everyone behind them is getting lasted to holy hell

loading replies

So much potential set up in TFA that was just squandered.

We saw this in the theater opening night and I knew something was wrong when the first 20 minutes seemed like they adapted a World War II movie script, but replaced the Memphis Belle with fucking spaceships dropping bombs from orbit????? But by the time they got to the extended 'car chase in space' sequence, I was attracting attention from people around us with uncontrollable, audible sighs after stupid lines or pointless scenes.

As we walked out of the theater, a burden was lifted off me as the care I had for Star Wars was left behind with this debacle. From that night onward, while I may have followed the behind-the-scenes stories about the last Star Wars movie from Professor Doomcock (that turned out to be 100% accurate) and I have a copy of Ivan Ortega's fan recut, (which is the superior cut) I've not spent a single minute on Disney's Star Wars since.

Instead, I've gone back and collected all of the "despecialized" versions and theatrical cut transfers of the original trilogy to remember Star Wars as it originally was meant.

Best Star Wars movie, sorry not sorry.

More of a 9 really but when so many bitter people give it ridiculously low ratings you have to try to counter it somehow.

For those who think Star Wars and Star Trek have "gone too left wing", either you didn't watch any of the originals or you missed the entire point of them.

One of the top 2 films in the Star Wars universe, with A New Hope. I can’t even keep track of what the fandom considers a good entry in the franchise, but this is a good film, period.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’:

  1. Glad that they finally showed Leia using her Force powers. I know some people weren’t fans of that scene, but it had to happen eventually.
  2. The Yoda/Luke scene was perfect. Really brought back those ‘Empire’ vibes.
  3. After my 10-film Star Wars movie marathon, I’m finally ready for ‘Rise of Skywalker’.

more like a 6.5/10 because :

- skywalker's acting is just as bad as rey's :)))
- too long / too silly with that very long ships chase

Am I the only one who actually liked this? Everyone seems to hate this ending?

Rian Johnson was probably a bad idea.

loading replies

There's some interesting ideas at play here and it's appreciated that it's a little different in terms of story. But the end result betrays everything I've grown to know about these characters and this world, in service to pandering virtue signalling. It ends up being an overlong, frustrating mess of a film, with some core ideas that could have been solid...

Hated it.
As simple as that.
Terrible way to take the series to. I mean it's not as bad as the prequels, because the acting is quite all right, but it hits so many bullshit moments where I was facepalming every other scene it's unbelievable.

loading replies

Very simple: "Empire Strikes Back" is at the top. And right below it is "The Last Jedi"!!! In my humble opinion; This was so satisfying, so gratifying, and just amazing!! This time around, I decided to stay away from all the spoilers and rumors (I should've done that with "Force Awakens" and "Rogue One") and went in as a fan of the franchise, but more importantly as a fan of Movies in general. I'm not a critic nor an "expert" but I can tell you that Rian Johnson did a hell of a job!!!! It was a rollercoaster of emotions!! Hopefully J.J. Abrams will pick up where Rian left off and end the Skywalker saga with a bang!!! The franchise is in good hands, Rian Johnson just gave us a taste of what his "New Trilogy" is gonna be like. But don't take my word for it, nor the negative reviews either.....GO SEE IT!!!!!!!!

What’s with the high rating? This movie was pretty shit. I dunno if it’s the non existent character development, what was the point of the Chinese girl character?? Or whether it’s just a cartoon I’ve long grown out off. Such a long film with so little substance, so little emotion, so forgettable. 5/10, mostly tedious.

Not sure about this movie. I‘m a die hard, hardcore Star Wars fan, but something about this feels off. It may be true that this was better than TFA and R1, but I know for sure that I was a lot happier after those movies. Rey did not get proper training from Luke even though that was the whole reason why she went there and that was what we were hoping it would happen. It doesn’t. At least not anything that comes close to what Luke went through on Dagobah. Also ... Luke dies from exhaustion. Wtf. I loved the reveal after the big fight that was genius. But then he dies from exhaustion? C'mon now.

Pure entertainment! As a fan of cinema but not so much the Star Wars saga (I liked the original three and Rogue One, basically) I found this installment to be a very entertaining film with heart, action and a good story. The cinematography is often breathtaking and the special effects are strong in this one. Perhaps one too many cliffhangers, but it's hard to fault a film for having too many action sequences. In a year that's had many disappointing big budget action films, The Last Jedi is one of the best.

Absolute trash. Makes you wish George Lucas was back trolling you with Jar Jar binks.

For me, it was better than TFA.

Yeah, at moments it was all over the place, but in the end everything came together really well. I did think the romance thing between Finn and Rose was awkward, I mean c'mon, we don't need romance everywhere. It brought nothing to the plot.
Kylo/Ben story line was an emotional roller coaster, had me torn between wanting to protect him and punching him in the face.
The Kylo and Rey vs. Snoke's guards bit was great, I liked how they worked so well as a team. I also enjoyed the scenes where they connected and talked through the Force.

Overall, I enjoyed it, it was entertaining. However, for me, Rogue One still takes the title for the best SW movie.

loading replies

Force Awakens is far better. This was choppy, slow, plot-holey and in a couple of places cheap looking.
Still there are quite a few good bits (mostly with Rey), but don't fall for the critic hype.
(EDIT: After pondering this movie more, and reviewing my Star Wars films in order of greatness list https://trakt.tv/users/kanootcha/lists/star-wars-movies , I've come to the conclusion that, apart from the obvious exception of the first movie, it takes Lawrence Kasdan writing for a Star Wars film to really shine. I guess my theory will be put to the test next May when Solo, co-written by Kasdan, hits the screen.)

I really liked it. I walked out with a smile (slightly wistful, at the much greater role Princess Leia played). This film was clearly the new type of Star Wars movie. Not your grandfather's Star Wars by half.

Amused by the initial doubters and commenters who say the hated it. This was a hard act to follow the great (if by-the-numbers) Force Awakens and the stunner Rogue One, but I was continuously impressed by the way Rian Johnson pulled this one off. There were numerous places I expected the film to end on a cliffhanger, but was relieved that the plot point was extended a little bit more each time. I also like how they quietly included small nods to Rogue One as well.

After my second viewing today I have to take back a couple of things of my first review (scroll down). I now realize that I have expected and hoped so much after waiting for two years that it distracted me from what was actually happening. I was waiting for so much I wanted to happen that it definitely took away from my first experience yesterday. Today I could enjoy it only for what it was not what I wanted it to be and I liked it a lot better.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

I loved it, but also underwhelming.
It provided some of the most beautiful shots, and character moments I've seen.
Some of the plot was baffling, had holes and felt unessassary.
The humour got laughs, but almost always felt forced.

The first half of the movie was a disappointment... It was more like a kids movie. The cute animals, the unfunny jokes and last but not least Leia Organa who flies through the universe, I mean what the f*ck?! That really doesn't make sense (like explosions in the outter-space but nevermind). Long story short, I wanted to leave the cinema after the first half.

But the second half of the movie was amazing. 9 / 10! I had goose bumps in every Luke Skywalker scene, nearly cried in the end #nohomo. One thing which still annoyed me was that scene where Finn was driving towards that big cannon and this chinese girl (forgot her name lol) stopped him. Then she said something about protect the people who you love and moral and bullsh!t. C'mon, it's not Grimms Fairytales...

5/10 for a Star Wars movie... it's a shame...

I did not expect much from the movie but I really hoped it would be good. I was disappointed.

Since this has become another level of boldly trashy I may not remember everything that annoyed me:
- Very obvious and flat story, feels recycled, like I have seen everything already in other Star Wars movies
(which worked for EP7, but at least EP7 had some niveau left)
- Everybody survives anything, you don't root for anyone because everyone is gonna survive anything anyways
- Bad jokes that make the movie very trashy
- Mediocre acting
- Nowadays everyone can use the force, without training
- Porgs that unnecessarily show up in about 8+ different scenes, because money
- Mediocre and mostly obvious CGI (in an AAA movie!!)
- Everytime one of those civilians/rebels/resistance says "may the force be with you" it made me cringe

EP8 is a movie for little kids, which is probably what Disney wants, because kids buy more merchandise (LEGO Dreadnought incoming...)

I loved it I loved it I loved I loved it. It's not perfect but I still loved it. The film does pull the rug from under those people who have been theorising their own plot points for the last two years, and that may be why its garnered some hate. Put aside your expectations and you will probably love it too. Far better than the prequel trilogy too, so for those haters out there, be thankful the film isn't at such a low standard. Possibly in my top 3 Star Wars Movies - the original, the Star Wars Holiday Special, and this one. Okay, insert Empire instead of the festive blunder. The great fight scenes, deep character development, and that intriguing end makes me excited for the next one.

The porgs were the best part of this movie. That's how mediocre and uneven it is.

Direction, effects, music, photography, acting, etc. was really amazing as always. Didn't like the story too much – was expecting something more like episodes VII or Rogue One, but was disappointed. Basically everything was predictable and there was a little too many joke moments (just like Marvel or Disney is used to in their other movies).
Maybe a rewatch of all of them can change my mind, but so far this is nearer to episode I than any other movie…

The overall story was excellent. That being said there were so many individual scenes that were unnecessary and had me actually saying "what the fuck" out loud in the cinema. Also many scenes where either the camera work was awful, or the choice of camera shot was terrible. Jokes seemed forced like the creators were saying "here laugh at this" even though it wasn't really that funny at all and just made it awkward. There were some epic parts that I really liked but overall didn't really enjoy it as much as I had hoped.

loading replies

The Last Jedi tore a lightsaber through my expectations, but delivered in so many ways. It's very rare these days for a movie to be backed so packed full of storyline and intrigue...especially one that runs at 153 minutes.

The cast were universally brilliant, but Adam Driver's stand-out performance was masterful, and Kellie Marie Tran was a surprise hit for me.

There were some strange comedy beats that didn't quite sit right for me, but I suspect this was still when my assumptions about The Last Jedi were still being screwed with.

Rian Johnson's direction was wonderful with so many beautiful visual treats woven together by an utterly captivating story. I can't wait to see what he has in store when he gets his own Start Wars trilogy.

When Episode VIII is released, the Star Wars franchise will have spanned a period of forty years. I'm glad that the Star Trek motion picture franchise was compressed in comparison, though the Star Trek universe has already existed for fifty years. Aside from both being set in space, there really is no comparison except for my love of both with Star Trek being responsible for my career choice in computer technology. I also remember standing in the long line to see Star Wars in 1977 and again in 1979 for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Space, the final frontier...A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

It is a movie you watch once, curse to the movie gods and then never again. Yes, good acting. Yes, awesome action (fast paced even) but ungodly amounts of high school attempt of humor (if that). I mean, who finds it even remotely entertaining to see person A tries to eat a BBQ of animal B and animal B kids with Bamby eyes are looking sad and he is like ohhh man... ok, you are too cute, I cannot.. Is that for parents to have a fun moment with their 12 year old? Maybe, but do that with a Pixar movies, NOT Star Wars. And the dialogues... oh my... wanted to hit mute just so I could forget it (does not work... they stick). I feel embarrassed for the script writer who will be confronted by that nonsense for the rest of his/her carrer (I hope). It is like Jar Jar Binks is comming back to haunt us....

Oh, and 6 because it was fast paced and good action scenes. Also, the end scene is pretty cool. The brushes shoulders off bit was the only scene I had to chuckle. You will know what I mean.
