A visually appealing movie, with a great soundtrack, but with a strange plot.

Rating: 7/10 (29 April 2018)

WARNING: SPOILERS.
Ok. I love Star Wars very much. I really liked Episode 4, 5, 3 and 7. Episode 6 was ok and 1 and 2 were laughingly bad. With the Last Jedi. It's both a really great film and a really bad film. My opinion of this film is split right down the middle. Lets start of with the good parts. The visuals are the BEST I have seen in a Star Wars film. The new soundtrack also really adds to the feel of it. I loved how the director used certain editing tricks to correlate with the force. There is this new force thing between two certain characters that is pretty interesting. This is when Rey and Ren seem t be connecting with each other throw the force, only to find out that it was snoke who did this, just to bring rey to him. Ok, that was a ok twist, I suppose. Kylo Ren is easily the best thing in this film. His character is so fascinating. I mean, this guy is just torn, broken and in pain inside. You can just tell from his facial expression. This is seen especially when he blows up the ship that Leia is on in the frist scene and when he kills snoke, which truley threw me off. Wasn't expecting that. The other characters, partically Rey and Leia are all really great. Leia really feels like her original self in this film, especially when she slap Poe when he tries to be a hero, but fails. The story is kinda intersting as well. It takes place directly after the force awakens and is pretty much them trying to take down the first order. The final act of this film is just a treat for the eyes. The use of colour and sound is just WOW. Also, YODA IS IN IT . YEA, Love drunk yoda (Chris Stuckmann said this).
So now I have talked about the good, now for the bad, or in this case, the really odd choices. It's great to see Luke play this Obi-won character and I truly understand why Rian Johnson wanted to do this. It does make sense that Luke is the way he is because of what happened with Kylo. He feels guilty and responsible and that all makes sense. I just kinda feel that he seemed a bit too depressed, likeit wasn't really the Luke we knew. But I didn't really have a problem with that. the main problem I had with the film was that the plot seemed to go in a odd direction. I mean, they set up so much in the Force awakens and they either never explain it or do, but it's not how you though it was going to be. I mean, there were interesting events in force awakens that should have been explained in this film. Like certain characters mysterious backstory were either not even mentioned, or told in a completely different and bizarre way. Rey's parents turned out to be nobody's, snoke's past wasn't reveled cause ren killed him. I don't know what Johnson was thinking when he made the decisions he made. But the one thing that REALLY REALLY put e of the whole film was when Fin and Rose go to this casino planet which just feels like Las Vages on earth. I mean, WOW, that seen took me out of the star wars universe and is possibly the reason why I didn't like the film as much as I could have. Certain lines like 'Godspeed Jedi's' really made me cringe and when Leia and her apprentice both said 'May the force be with you' at the same time made me cringe even more. It felt more like a Star Trek or Guardians of the Galaxy film rather than A star wars film. And the jokes in this are just either unfunny or a bit stupid. Although there is that one scene were Kylo is trying to blast Luke in the final act and the general guy says, 'are you about done'? That made me laugh for some reason. Anyway, it was a really decent film. Not as fresh as the force awakens. It had a lot of boring moments. I guess cause the running time is 150 mins. That nearly 3 hours long. Blimy! Anyway, I do recommend this film. It's alot better the rogue one and all the pr equal films, though not as good as the original trilogy or force awakens. Oh well, let's hope that J.J Abrams can clean up Rian Johnson's mess with a decent end to this wobbly trilogy.
