I enjoyed the film, keep scrolling to see other negative reviews.

Rating: 8/10 (9 September 2019)

The Last Jedi, the most crontroversial movie of the Star Wars saga, I think, and I think a lot of people agree with me on this. Well, back in 2017, I remembered that people already started to look at the film negatively because of the "Jedi must end" line that appears on the early trailer of the movie. Before its release, the film was getting positive reviews. The critics liked the movie, so nothing to worry about. The buzz started when the leaks, with all spoilers, popped up in reddit. 'Everyone' was mad about the portrait of Luke in this film. Why he would even think in kill his nephew? And the idea of Luke dying received a surprising amount of hate. Then the film release, received blacklash from the fans, I remember a youtube channel doing 50 or more videos per day talking about how bad The Last Jedi is, and that's happens till this day, a lot of channels still talk abou that movie. For the best or for the worst, the film is still discussed 2 years after its release. A director's dream, or nightmare in this case, I think.
I watched in the opening weekend, and at first I didn't enjoyed that much, but I didn't hate either. It was a good movie, but I was expecting more from the second part of a trilogy. First, Rey's parents are nobody? All that hype that was built in TFA, and now... PUFF. They're nobody, folks. And what about Snoke? What about his origins, his motivations, how did the First Order started? How did Snoke 'seduced' Ben Solo to the dark side. I was expecting answers, and I got none. The idea of Luke dying didn't bothered me at first, and don't bothers me now. 2 years after its release, and I'm now seeing more positively. Rian Johnson's directing is amazing, people who say otherwise just watched this movie and are haters of this new trilogy. People can dislike his decisions, but his directing was on point. I enjoyed hsi writing as well. Making Luke, that opmistic boy always looking at the horizon expecting a more exciting life back in A New Hope in a flawed bittered old man who regreted his previous decision of training a new generation of Jedis is a new and interesting take, but other writers would prefer to appel to the saga's nostalgia and give to Luke zero depth and development, and the nostalgic fans would love and clap, maybe I would like that take too, but I'm glad I got it something different and I thank Rian Johnson for that. Luke and Kylo Ren are definitely the most developed characters in this movie, and both are amazing in this movie, I enjoyed the character of Kylo Ren a lot more, I understand his motivations, I liked his background, and everything else about it, and Adam Drive acting was on point. I still don't simpatize with Rey, and I'm expecting to finally like her character in Episode IX, fingers crossed, I believe in you JJ. Finn's arch ended on this movie, and he could easily die on this one, with the sacrifice, it would be a worthy ending to the character, but I'm okay with him living, but there's nothing they can do more about his character in Episode IX, his arch was already finalized. Poe became more interesting in this one, he appears briefly in TFA, and here we see more of him, but not that much, I wanted to see more of him. General Holdo was fine, didn't understand why she decided to not share her plan. Her conflict with Poe was well done, but her decision of hide the plan was kinda dumb. Leia's ok, liked her here more than in TFA, where she just made a cameo. Snoke was a poor character, thank you Rian Johnson, my expectations about him was subverted, happy? Gosh, I understand some of the hate about RJ, I mean, what is his thing with "subverting expectations"? Jesus.
Well, talking about the other aspects of the movie, I really loved the photography, the Battle of Crait was absolutely beautiful and astonishing. The soundtrack didn't bringed up anything new, John Williams is in his comfort zone, and it's okay to not take risks, but the lack of personality in this soundtrack was awful, but John Williams is still John Williams and I'll never say something bad about his work (I already did). Visual effects are good, as expected, I mean, it's a AAA+ movie, a blockbuster made by Disney, it's pretty obvious that the effects is going to be good.
Overall, I enjoyed The Last Jedi, it's a good Star Wars movie, has let me excited to see Rise of Skywalker, can't wait to see the conclusion of this epic saga, and it's was a fun ride. I'm kinda sad that people can't enjoy a movie anymore because it was not how they imagined it was going to be, and it's sad the harassment that RJ and some of the cast is receveing from the 'fans', I mean, it's JUST A MOVIE, get over it. The movie has its flaws and bad things, but it was good and enjoyable, and one of the Star Wars films that I like the most.
