Did Nay Sayers See The Same Movie As I Did?

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2017)

Reading the reviews and I see negative after negative reviews for the purists and nitpickers of the universe that left me scratching my "cabeza". I have went and see the movie, paid my $10.50, saw it in 3-D with my movie buddy and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was entertaining. I bet that the 'nay sayers' sat there and kept there critical glasses on and ripped apart the movie at every turn. While on the other hand, I and I am sure others, did not have it one and let the movie do its thing and take us on a ride in the Star Wars Universe. I am sure that if they did that, they would have seen the movie for what it is, a masterpiece of cinematic history.
Now after that gush, I have listen to the JW Soundtrack that is streaming on Apple iTunes, a couple of times while waiting for my hard copy order to come from B&N, and I have to say that while John Williams uses his old original iconic music to tell the story, it was the glue that really held the movie together. It was a perfect marriage of sonic story telling. If it was not for the music, the feature would have fallen flat, and the audience would have been disappointed. So, Disney had better kiss the feet of Williams for holding the movie together, since John knew enough that he had to incorporate easily recognizable character tunes (leitmotif - a recurrent theme throughout a musical or literary composition, associated with a particular person, idea, or situation.) to help guide the audience as to what to expect. If it weren't for that, then the audience would have gotten lost.
To enjoy the move, you will have to understand that it was a variation to the theme of Empire (Johnson even said that). While the story of TFW, JJ Abrams keep the story clean, Johnson kept the story not so much clean, but complex with 3 sub plots merging into one beautiful story line. Put it this way, as TFW was pulp fiction: TLJ was literature. The question of who is the last Jedi is answered by Luke warning the world about the movie, 'it's not going to go the way your think." Keep that warning from Luke, and just enjoy the film and its music, and kiss the Porg.
