Time of the last

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2018)

Many were waiting for the continuation of the legendary saga "Star Wars". They put their hopes on him. And now it came out. Direct continuation of the seventh episode reached the audience, but did it justify expectations?
The script of the film is very rich in events. There are many plot lines and actions that play a key role. On the one hand it's good, because the film does not let the viewer get bored, but on the other hand it prevents the film atmosphere from completely being imbued, because the editing very often ends at the most interesting moment. This "serial" reception seems not quite to the point, and the film is perceived heavier than we would like. Although in general, the characters were allowed to reveal themselves, with the possible exception of Ray. By the end of the film, it remained the same as it was in the beginning, while other characters developed in one direction or another. Although Daisy Ridley played her character at the highest level, there was still a lack of progress and internal changes in the heroine. The timeline of the film was a record 152 minutes, but they look not so difficult, although during the film very often you are in a tense state due to a large number of twists. All these twists are very well developed, which is amazing. Throughout the movie, you do not know which way the plot will turn, and at some point the film makes you realize that everything will not go as you thought. The episode turned out to be rather gloomy, but nevertheless it included a proprietary Disney humor that was not always there, although jokes were ridiculous. In general, all problems do not reduce the number of positive emotions that you receive from viewing.
The director's work of Ryan Johnson has borne fruit. His film turned out to be above the "Awakening Force" by Jay Abrams. How does Johnson behind the back of the series "In all the heavy", which is undoubtedly one of the best in the world series. And in general, this time, "Disney" more responsible approached the continuation of the franchise. To the music of John Williams there are no complaints at all. It perfectly emphasizes the atmosphere of the "distant-distant galaxy", which is very pleasing and winds up memories of the old parts. In general, "The last Jedi" very much resemble the fifth episode, only with new characters. It's understandable why the studio does it. The young generation, for the most part, does not perceive the first films, so the studio tells the old story with new heroes who may become favorites in the future for the new franchise audience, but they do not forget about the old fans, trying to please them, like JJ Abrams episode, but while they do not quite get it.
Actor's work in the new film is also impressive. The line of Kylo Ren in the performance of Adam Driver is very good. Throughout the film, we see how his character develops. Unlike the previous part, in this episode the son of Khan Solo can rightfully be called a full-fledged antagonist, and not a hysterical teenager who very much wants to look like his grandfather Darth Vader, but he does not succeed. Actors "old man" Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, too, look quite organic. The images of unbreaked Leah and Luke's lost hope fit perfectly into the plot. Young actors quite deservedly can count on the fact that they will love the new fans, but on all their background I would like to highlight By Dameron in the performance of Oscar Isaac. This brave rebel, who is ready to sacrifice everything, even his own life, for the sake of the "Resistance" perfectly figures in the plot of the picture. Although in terms of some characters and the question arises: "Why are they in the movie?" - It does not spoil the impression of the acting game. I hope in the future will explain their appearance, otherwise it is unclear why there was a need to include them in the script, if you could do without them. And the High Leader Snowk also failed to live up to expectations. He does not reach the level of the teacher of the Sith, as, for example, Darth Sidious.
Special effects and action scenes in the movie are also good, though sometimes they sometimes get tired of them, but still it does not take away the beauty of the film. The picture is full of beautiful frames and it has an elaborate fauna of different planets. To be honest, I really liked the animals that are presented to the film. Make-up and costumes also deserve praise. Thanks to all this, the film looks very nice, and many scenes are perfectly stored in memory because of a good and high-quality picture.
Personally, I liked the whole picture with all its problems. Of course, new films have something to strive for, of course. But progress in comparison with the previous part is felt. I hope that "Disney" will stick to this path and eventually make a film that can compete with the first six parts.
