Last Jedi review
So yeah, I went to see the Last Jedi again, or was it The Almost Last Jedi, or The 2nd to the Last Star Wars Jedi movie, or maybe When is this Star Wars madness ever going to finally end movie.
So again, yeah, this is my take and "Spoiler Alert, or not" review.
After buying my ticket for the Saturday morning IMax (well of cause) I was getting tempted to go see it opening night. The earliest showing not sold out was 9:45 pm which would have me getting home after 1am, didn't seem to good being I had to work in the morning.
Got home Thursday and notice they now had tickets for the 8:45 showing, so my Star Wars madness took over and said "why not". Don't know if it was a Jedi mind trick or some little evil Jedi on my left shoulder over powering the Angle on my right shoulder and whispering in my ear "go, go, go, These are the ticket you was looking for", Hmmm... I went, I saw, I got conquered.
Now for the Spoiler.....
The Movie is made up of a lot of oohs and ahhs moments but to me in the end it just seem that's all the director was going for, hence I felt there was something missing.
I still had my tickets purchased for Saturday, do I get my refund, or just go again.
So here the big "Spoiler Alert or not, I know, you're just waiting for one"... after much consideration I gave in (again) and went to see it one more time, (must of been that little evil Jedi on my shoulder again saying "give in to the force", jezzz, how do you get rid of these guys).
So this is the big thing..... Is it that good to go see it again???? maybe, maybe not, the thing is that this is the 8th Star Wars movie, and no, that's not 8 years, that's 40 years.
We've know friend and relative for way less, we've lost love ones and precious thing in less, we create life long bonds with people and pets in less and sometimes just a few month, but here we have Star Wars for 40 years, that's a life time.
Of cause, many were born within that time frame and ended up following along, maybe because of the hype, the interest in Sci Fi, the nostalgia in old movies, or just because your parents brought you up on their memories of what is Star Wars.
Fact is, Star Wars for some of us, is like an old friend. When we go to the Movies to see a new Star Wars movie, it's like visiting that old friend again. Some of us may not know it, but sometimes things that stick with you this long become part of you.
So the movie has it's good points and some that didn't make any science sense. Some stuff that you might say "WHY" and other's you will say "OK". Sometimes it seem like it was all over the place and of cause sometimes we prefer a different direction but now it's done so it is what it is, some ones else's point of view.
Who was the best actor? Everyone may differ but I'll say Chewie, he hasn't changed much in 40 years, oh, and also the Falcon, can't forget the falcon, lol.
Yeah, I can say a few things about the other characters and actors but for now I wont.
Did I need to go see it twice? I'll have to say yes and no.
I could have just waited to see in on digital and catch whatever I missed, but in seeing it again, it was interesting to see all I did miss the first time (things in the background and important details) so it was a plus + plus and in IMax... yes.
Hope I'll be around for the next and maybe final episode, not sure it'll be the same but I'll see it all the same and hope they do the closing some justice.
I am kind of sure I wont be around for the remake in maybe another 50 or 100 years, we might even be part of the movie by then if not living the life.
The struggle will continue between the good and evil, the dark side and the light as always and in all walks of life. Maybe and hopefully one day we'll learn to understand that there isn't always dark or light but just a difference of opinion. Everyone wants it their way.
When we can understand that, and can live with the differences, then maybe we'll find balance and live in harmony, together, in the grey.
So was the movie good or was it bad...... in the long run, it doesn't matter, just take it with a gain of salt, accept it for what it is and say Hello to an old friend.
