The Last Jedi is shocking, entertaining with complicated characters and emotionall depth. Simply amazing.

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2018)

The Last Jedi is simply amazing. It is universally aclaimed by critics and concidered by many one of the best films of the year and the best in the franchise since The Empire Strikes Back. Unfortunately, there is a group of fans that are outraged by the film because it is original and dares to take the series to new places so they say it doesn't feel like Star Wars so the imdb rating for the film is criminally low(7.6 at the time I wright the review) Offcourse, I respect other opinions and thoughts about the film.
Story:
The Last Jedi is original and shocking while it honours the rich legacy of the Saga. It has twists and revelation that will keep you in the edge of your seat. Despite it's runtime it never feels over-long or boring and it's totally necesarry for the characters to be fully developed. The tone is very dark and gives you a feeling of despair. Overral, the film is unpredictable,dark and has some wisecrack humor (that may feel a bit forced but it never fells flat and doesn't affect the dark tone) and is filled with great characters.
The characters:
As I said the characters really stood out . I won't get to any spoilers but the film did a very good job with making it's characters complex and developed. Rey may be concidered by some Mary Sue but in The Last Jedi she is more human and flawed. Kylo Ren really steals the show by being one of the most emotionally complex and lovable villains in recent history and his character arc was impresssive and it showed the conflict of his character. Luke on the other hand is way more dark and sarcastic than the original trilogy. Some people didn't like that because it ruins their childhood hero but for most critics and for me that change in character was very well explained and it showed a more realistic side of his character. The supporting characters were also very good. Poe, Finn and the new addition Rose had personalities and a lot of chatacter building moments.
Rian Johnson:
The writer-director of the film is one of the greatest new filmakers that directed indie and smaller films like the Brick and Looper and he also made some of the best Breaking Bad episodes. His script was simply phenomenal and his direction took the film and the whole series to new level. He made one of the biggest blockbusters of the year into an amazing film with artistic feel and quality something that most recent big budget films don't have because they focus to much on action, stars and bad cgi. I would dare and call it the biggest arthouse movie. (I don't say that modern big budget films aren't artistic. i.e. Blade Runner 2049 , Logan, Wonder Woman, War for the Planet of the Apes.)
Star Wars:
As I've mentioned the film takes the series to new places but also honours it's legacy. All those things above made me as a film geek love this movie but the lore, the references and the whole asthetic made my inner Star Wars fun love this film even more.
Flaws:
I don't want to sound like a fanboy and I recognise the flaws of the movie. There is a whole sequence in the 2nd act in Canto Bight that felt a bit forced and it wasn't as good as the rest of the film. The first few minutes were also not that great. The humor felt a bit out of place and annoying some times and I wished that it wasn't there but it was funny.

The Last Jedi deserves your attention. It is mind-blowing. I don't want to insult people that didn't like it and I respect their opinion but for many and myself this was an amazjng experience.
