Why you heff to be mad?

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2018)

The Last Jedi has gained notoriety for the "fan" backlash it generated. However, much of this criticism is, in my opinion, undeserved. Sure, it wasn't perfect, and there were definitely elements I din't like. For instance, the scenes on Canto Bight felt just a bit too prequel-y for my taste and Finn and Rose's entire subplot ends up being kinda meaningless, but these are really just nitpicks. The visual effects and score are phenomenal. The performances are executed perfectly. Each twist manages to feel unexpected without being completely random. The plot is both interesting and very memorable. And Luke's death, one of the scenes that has "fans" worked up the most, is satisfying and feels like something Luke would do.
Overall, I give this film a 9/10. If you plan on watching it, I'd advise you to keep an open mind. The main thing upsetting "fans" is that this film disproves or doesn't fulfill most theories made prior to its release. If you can ignore these, then you should enjoy this film.
