way different than expected

Rating: 8/10 (14 December 2017)

Before starting to review Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I'd like to tell you about my expectations of the movie. Many People said from the beginning that Star Wars VIII will be pretty similar to Star Wars: The Imperium Strikes Back. I used to share the same expectation aslong I just saw both teaser and trailer. After watching the movie last night, I can say that some of my expectations are fullfilled. Even when I dislike Rian Johnson's script due to some unintelligibilities during the movie, I need to say that I got quite surprised by some incidents.
So let me say in my own opinion: the movie does not have the commonly known Star Wars-scheme, but it has so much new things that I quite like. Star Wars VIII has a new usage of supporting roles, they get more important as in Star Wars VII. If you watch Star Wars VIII for the first time, just don't let you blind be the actions of the main characters. Get a feeling for the things did by the supporting actors, which are quite important for the wide spectrum of actions, aswell as for the tension of the movie.
The usage of the CGI effects are better than in episode I-III. It's pretty combined with most of the panorama recordings and strenghtens the impact in the movie.
I quite like the use of the music in Star Wars VIII. Its a mix of the old score, combined with new compositions - props for John Williams.
As a Star Wars-since-childhood fan im not really sad or angry for the mediocre script, but im impressed by all the other aspects of the movie and I fully accept Star Wars: The Last Jedi as a coequal Star Wars Movie.
So may the force be with you!
