Dont listen to the naysayers, they dont know what they're talking about

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2017)

When the force awakens opened up in cinemas two years ago, I remembered being in awe of the amazing film which essentially carried on the star wars saga. This being said, I found it a little surprising that after a week of it opening up at the box office, star wars fans were giving it such a beating. Complaining that the film was played "too safe" and that it "wasn't original" or too reminiscent of a new hope...... which I understood to a certain degree, however I felt it was a good way to carry on the franchise nonetheless. When the Last Jedi hit theatres, it took me on a story line which isn't just unpredictable and completely thinks outside of the box in regards to both story line and how characters are introduced. You're invited to new worlds and shown chemistry with new and old characters, basically Disney listened to the fans and gave them something unexpected as well as imaginative...... and surprise surprise, as soon as the last Jedi hits the box office, you're greeted by the same whinge bags who moaned about the force awakens, the same people that said they wanted something different two years ago, are now not happy that the films have gone in a different direction. I don't want to get too much into the film as I want to keep this review spoiler free, but I just wanted to say don't listen to the naysayers, this film is exceptional and is up there with the empire strikes back.....Luke steals the show and watching Poe's character develop is something I didn't know I wanted until I watched the Last Jedi.
