Do not get fooled by these hate-reviews

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2017)

The Last Jedi is special. It is an entertaining movie which gives more well-needed deepness to all major characters ahead of IX.
Overall, I am extremely happy with this movie. However, there are some negatives:

A place in this movie looks too much like Earth, it does not feel like Star Wars

Luke's Theme is over-used, should have been saved for extra special moments

Sometimes the humor is over-played. The audience does not need to laugh in every scene

Other than that, this is a fun and thrilling Star Wars-movie. I would even say it's better than TFA, because it challenges what we thought we knew about the Force and does so in a good way. In other words: TLJ is more creative.
Finally, all these hateful reviews are embarrassing. People complain about things that do not resemble earlier films. Well two years ago you guys complained about TFA being to similar to A New Hope. How's it going to be? Different or the same? George Lucas essentially ruined the prequels with bad dialogue and too much CGI. Here comes a new director with fresh ideas and good storytelling, but he gets all this hate because he doesn't do it as Lucas would have. Lucas blew it, Johnson delivers. TLJ is a great film, which every true Star Wars fan will love. 8,5.
