A fantastic movie in many ways

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2017)

The extremely negative reviews here feels like they were written by the same person and they really dont contribute much.
Make no mistake: The Last Jedi is a great movie, with great acting, superb cinematography and some really epic scenes, effects and battles. It touches your heart in many ways, you care for the characters and it may give a real fan goosebumps. Personally I have not seen Luke Skywalker fight with a lightsaber in the cinema since 1983, so I was extremely pleased during the final battle.
It is not your average part 2 movie in a trilogy, just filling the gap between the first and the final movie. It does not push some battles to the final movie, instead it takes some interesting twists and turns and takes two steps forward instead of one. I can not understand how people can not handle that.
There's a lot of moral issues and not everything is black and white. The interaction and connection between Rey and Kylo makes the film really interesting, it adds another dimension and makes for an interesting final film in the trilogy, where things have changed and moved forward, instead of remaining too predictable.
Yes, there are some annoying jokes. Yeah, the casino world scenes could have been cut. I personally did not enjoy the General Hugs joke. But the movie just kept growing and growing and growing. It did not stop with Snoke being the bad guy and waiting for a final battle in the next movie, it went beyond that and kept progressing. Kylo is the supreme leader now, deal with it.The last 45 minutes were filled with only pure satisfaction and enjoyment.
