Not without its flaws, but well worth your time (NOTE: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS)

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2017)

Though more daring and original than The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi suffers from pacing issues, a lopsided, needlessly-complicated structure, and the problematic deaths of two major characters (the first character is killed abruptly, prematurely, and unbelievably. The second character's death isn't unbelievable so much as it's unexplained. It's really not clear what the second character dies of, or why he dies. He just kinda dies). Anyway, the scenes with Rey and/or Luke are quite good, but much of the rest of The Last Jedi is adequate at best, and, at worst, inferior. That said, the cinematography is stunning, the performances of Daisy Ridley and Mark Hamill are outstanding, and the finale is brilliant.
