Fantastic ride!

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2017)

The Last Jedi is a fantastic ride from start to finish! Johnson takes the story in very unexpected directions which only add depth to the franchise. Without going into detail, while the movie may have crushed a number of closely held fan speculations, it is an intense ride from start to finish and introduces themes yet to be fully explored in the Skywalker saga. These mainly enhance the tale and others leave questions still unanswered but hopefully will be in the final chapter. Some unhappy with the movie may be disappointed with their theories going unfulfilled and for some others, attention to progressive issues in the film may be clouding their assessment of the movie. Whatever their reasons, while there are many new directions taken in the movie, it remains a fantastic addition to the saga that keeps you going with thrills laughs and surprises to the very end.
