Starwars The Last Jedi
Was it an entertaining movie? yes
Was it a good movie? no
If you don't watch or care at all about starwars, and you don't think about the film, you will enjoy it. If you have been watching starwars previously, you will have most likely already watched the entire plot of the film in a 30 minute clone wars television episode.
There are so many inconsistencies, so much disregard for things set up in the film prior, it's hard to even believe that the director even watched the previous film, let alone a starwars movie at all.
Spoiler
The beginning lone pilot taking on an entire ship. Looked cool, but suspended way beyond disbelief even for starwars.
The ending of force awakens which was seen as a powerful moment and speculated on for 2 years was turned into a literal throw away joke for a quick laugh.
The entire sub-plot of the casino planet did not even look or feel like a starwars film. The plot itself was unnecessary and meaningless.
The Rose character was uninteresting, ironically there is probably more character development from her than almost all the other main characters.
The memed admiral akbar who they could have used for the spaceship collision scene which would have been an awesome tribute to him is instead killed off screen and mentioned in 1 line, when the purple haired girl could have taken that place and it probably would have added to the story.
Luke is a *****
Leia is superwomen
(should have let her die in that scene, would have made the film better and actually been an impacting death considering her circumstances, yet now she will just likely be killed off screen for the next film)
Rey becomes a ninja warrior despite never being trained on doing any combat
Snoke gets bamboozled and is killed despite never being told anything about him and despite being the most powerful person in the entire starwars universe. (hope to god that he's not actually dead and just a reflection or whatever that luke did).
Kylo is a **** villain, they should have ran with what they started. (if snoke didn't actually die then they might).
90% of the deaths in the entire film would have been avoidable if that stupid purple haired leia wannabe just told them what her plan was. Lukes death is literally her fault.
Why was the film a 1 and a half hour slow space chase? The first order has supposedly almost gained control over the entire galaxy, and yet they never thought to call on another ship to space jump infront of them. Or just use their own fighters that they used to temporarily kill Leia, to keep doing what they did.
What was the point of Luke making a clone of himself across the entire galaxy just to dodge to 2 hits. Surely he could have gone there in person, and that would have actually meant more. Thought he was going to appear in his X-wing that they showed a shot of at the bottom of the ocean.
I don't really care as much about Luke as most starwars fans do but christ that was the worst possible pay off to his last film. I was expecting to see him do some crazy stuff like take down all the walkers using his powers I keep hearing the people who read the expanded universe stuff talk about- which would have also thrown back to his line earlier in the film where he joked about Rey thinking he would take on the first order by himself. Then when that didn't happen I was expecting them to do the Obi-Wan kenobi death, which they basically did, but instead of him dying there, he dies of heatstroke not even on that planet. Why isn't he even using his green lightsaber either.
Way more stuff but i'm done ranting now. RIP starwars, this replaceable **** just made to make a never ending series is all we're going to get considering this directors already been signed on for the next trilogy. I mean take out the lightsabers and storm troopers and it's just a generic disney scifi film. All the starwars essence is gone.
There were some cool scenes like the beginning space battle, the kylo/rey/ red guard fight scene, The shot of the spaceship getting ripped in half, yea that's it. Rogue One was way better, would have preferred the director from that took over.
