The continuation of the sequel triology following the events of The Force Awakens. That’s all I’m going to say. It’s best going into these movies knowing as little as possible.
Pros:
•For those of you going into this worried (like I was) that The Last Jedi was just going to be a remake of Empire Strikes Back, you’ll be happy to know that it’s not. Yes, there are a few moments where it does have an Empire Strikes Back feel. But it wasn’t like Star Trek Into Darkness, which was a blatant remake of Wrath of Khan.
•Rian Johnson does a really good job directing not only the battle/action scenes but the quieter, more emotional scenes as well. I appreciate the amount of effort he put into this and making it fit in perfectly with the other movies. This is the first movie I’ve seen of his (I keep meaning to watch Looper but haven’t gotten around to it yet. I hear it’s good) but it certainly won’t be the last. I’m looking forward to seeing what he does with the separate Star Wars trilogy he’s got planned.
•Call me crazy of you want, but I think Mark Hamill gives one of the best performances I’ve seen this year. He continues to be one of my favorite actors. It’s great seeing him again as Luke. Some of the most touching moments and best humor comes from him. All I’ll say about his character in this movie is it’s very fitting and makes sense given all that’s happen to him since the events of the original trilogy.
•Adam Driver as Kylo Ren annoyed the fuck out of me in The Force Awakens aside from a few scenes. I’m surprised by how good he was in this and how interested I was in his character. Much better written this time around.
•I love what they did with the rest of the characters (Rey, Finn, Poe, etc.) as well. Not that those ones were badly written before. I just feel like here they were more fleshed out.
•Great special effects. It really is beautiful and thankfully isn’t CGI overkill to the point of being super fake (Unlike the prequels, mainly Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith).
•Most of the humor really worked (more on that in a bit). I was laughing out loud several times.
•The second half had me on the edge of my seat and was so compelling and bad ass that by the time it ended and the credits rolled I was like, “Noooooooo!! Keep going damn it! I don’t want to wait another two years.”
•Surprisingly the Porgs didn’t annoy me like I thought they would. While I couldn’t call them my favorite part of the movie, they were no Jar Jar that’s for sure.
•BB-8 is still adorable and funny and remains one of my favorite parts of this sequel trilogy.
•Carrie Fisher. It was hard seeing her in this and not tearing up :’( RIP
•Looks amazing on an IMAX screen and if you can I highly recommended seeing it in this format. The 3D was fine but I wouldn’t call it anything special.
Cons:
•The first half of this movie was good but I wouldn’t call it great. I mentioned earlier that I liked most of the humor. However, some of it in the beginning just wasn’t working for me and felt forced. No pun intended. Also, and it could be because I was a little tired at the time, some of the scenes really seemed to drag. There’s a certain subplot that happens that felt like it was never going to end and had me feeling like I was going to nod off. Thankfully the second half more than makes up for this.
My Rating: 8.5/10
