The Last Jedi leaves on with two experiences...

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 2017)

I was left with two separate and distinct experiences after watching The Last Jedi.
On the one hand, as a fan of big budget spectacle sci-fi adventures movies I was blown away. In that regard the movie delivers. It's exciting and runs at a brisk pace delivering action and peril for its characters in equal measure.
On the other hand, as a Star Wars fan, I was deeply disappointed. After waiting two years since The Force Awakens, and thirty some odd years since The Return of the Jedi, the movie failed to deliver on some key moments we were hoping for.
And therein lies the rub. The Last Jedi is a good well made movie that fails to deliver what its fans wanted. I still recommend this film, as the average movie goer will enjoy it, but if you're a hard core Star Wars fan... curb your enthusiasm.
