What a mess of opinions we have here

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2017)

A lot of Star Wars fans appear to be very upset about this film, mainly because they do not like how this is different from previous films in the franchise. In the words of Darth Sidious, "Ironic". After The Force Awakens angered some fans for not being original enough, The Last Jedi angers even more because of the bold choices made by writer/director Rian Johnson.
But whether or not you like the way he examines characters differently, or challenges what we think about the force, this film is very solid from a filmaking standpoint. The acting, direction , cinematography and writing (mostly) is all very good. Of course this is not a perfect movie - it suffers from inconsistent pacing and about 20 minutes that feel too stretched out, and admittedly there may be too much humour. But overall, this is a very good movie that does not deserve the unnecessary amount of hate that some give it just for being unique.
