Force Awakens Hater Loves The Last Jedi

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2017)

I didn't like The Force Awakens very much. My critique was entitled "Majestic pastiche bordering on retrospective parody."
This movie however is an excellent addition to the Star Wars Universe. I almost never attend a theater but this was worth every penny of the overpriced ticket. This movie has wonder, excitement, action, introspective parts, and narrative thrust. The effects are extraordinary, and memorable themes from John Williams provide nostalgic high powered melodies. There is definitely some 'movie magic' in parts, especially in terms of the physics of the Star Wars universe and it THREW ME OFF EACH TIME. Other than that I was lost in the movie, and it defies the Hollywood film formula. The plot also provides an interesting social critique of how war has made people rich.
There are many outright lies about the details of this movie in many reviews that I've read on IMDB in what seems to be like an organized campaign. I could almost imagine that war industrialists, and their political hounds would have an interest in diminishing this film.
