Deserves to be Seen Twice

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2017)

I think when we look back in ten years- this movie will get the respect it deserves. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a film that paves its own path. It makes choices that you won't be expecting. It's fresh- original- and is taking our characters to places they have never been before (thankfully).
This movie has some of the best moments ever seen before in the Star Wars Saga- and multiple times during my viewing (at least five times) I said, 'Oh WOW' out loud in amazement or surprise.
This film is jammed packed. There's a lot happening. It also feel like the first Star Wars movie that feels like we are in space. I loved it!
Now- this film is incredibly divisive--- I went in with an open mind wanting to see what Rian Johnson would do with this Saga- and I was delighted to see the lore open up more, the galaxy to actually feel BIG, and see what we aren't even close to being done with these characters, the jedi, or the darkside users.
Just because you made fan-theories, or are disappointed that things might have not gone the way you thought they would- destroy this movie. Good filmakers don't pander or stoop to what they think the audience wants. They get a vision- and they act upon it. That's how Star Wars started in the first place. Great film- go see it with an open mind- and enjoy what it has to offer. 9.3/10
