The Entire Movie Is Up And Down!

Rating: 5/10 (16 December 2017)

I don't think I have ever been excited for star wars as much as I was for the last Jedi. The trailer made the movie look like the greatest star wars film ever. Yet I left the theatre expecting more and wishing that Disney would have taken it's characters in different directions.
Pros-

The movie is visually stunning. One of the greatest graphical movies of all time. The hyperspace scene with the first order and resistance ships was epic.

I love loved Carrie Fisher in this movie. She was bad*** from start to finish.

Rose was a good edition to the series.

I liked the internal conflicts between Rey and Kylo. Their dynamic bond and polar opposite attitudes were great for the series.

Bad-
-Luke Skywalkers roll was pathetic. Disney turned him into a wounded duck when they should have used him as a bad*** hero. He dies without even getting touched by a lightsaber. They ruined his character!

Why did they kill off snoke? He is portrayed as being super powerful and strong in the ways of the force and then he dies the same way as Palpatine. His arrogance blinds him and clouds his mind which allows Kylo to cut him in half. Andy Serkis said Snoke was more powerful than Sideous. Nope don't by it! They had a great mysterious character with snoke and they cast him aside literally mid movie!

-The ending is basically like Empire Strikes Back

Captain Phasma dies without any character development.

-Finn is a worthless character in my opinion. I like how John Boyega portrays Finn but I just don't think this character is necessary.
Overall it's good enough to see and experience but the gaping plot holes, piss poor character decisions, and bad pacing leave me feeling conflicted about the future.
