The Last Jedi non-spoiler review:After two years since episode seven:The Force Awakens, Star Wars is back! And I got to see it last night at the midnight launch.
Star Wars has always been an opportunity for escapism ever since 'A New Hope' and I really think that Rian Johnson got that in this darker than usual Star Wars episode.I had an absolute blast with this film yet again I was thoroughly entertained from the first to the last minute.I'll start with what I think is the.most important part of the film,the character's.For me this chapter was predominantly about Rey,Luke,Kylo,Finn,Poe and ofcourse Leia.This for me is the best acted Star Wars film to date in my opinion,with Daisy Ridley as Rey and Mark Hamill as Luke stealing the show doing some of the best work I've seen this year I really love their character's.Adam Driver as Kylo Ren also puts in a solid performance and Poe and Finn bring the energy and comedy that is and has always been a part of the Star Wars universe.The look of the film is breathtaking once again,the space battles were amazing and dealt with with a huge amount of care,the lightsaber battles and general choreography is some of the best I've ever seen in a Star Wars film,it was that good.John Williams' score as always was composed with meticulous care and if anything is an improvement on 'The force awakens'.Where I think the movie has it's flaws is within the writing of the plot, and the direction of which it takes.The movie advances at a rapid pace,however the Finn and Rose plot had no payoff whatsoever.I was disappointed in how they incorporated Finn into the story in general and the casino scene jist dragged for way too long.People are always talking about the plot holes of Star Wars films and seems to be a common theme again in the Last Jedi,I agree that there are certain things that need to be discovered,but at the same time remember this is what we asked for when we got the prequels,and look at the result of that...I'm just saying we need to wary that's all.Nevertheless this is pretty much every thing you could want from a Star Wars film.Does it surpass Episodes 4 and 5?No,but I left the cinema pleased and had a blast with it.
