One of the best Star Wars movies to date

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2017)

People seem to put on rose tinted glasses when considering the original trilogy and are slowly starting to do that when thinking about the prequel trilogy.
Bottom line simply is - The Last Jedi is one of the best, if not the best, Star Wars movie to date. The main reason probably is the this one is finally aimed more at adults than kids and teenagers. Characters suddenly get a few more dimensions, we see a more human (or humanoid) side of them, which involves making mistakes, having moments of doubt and learning to deal with mistakes they make.
Some fans were angered at this, hoping a continuation of their perfect heroes and villains battling it out in the largest space fantasy we've seen so far in the history of cinema.
The entire cast puts in an incredible performance - Mark Hamill and Adam Driver steal the show, but Ridley, Isaac and Boyega were also amazing.
I can't help but wonder if some parts of the film couldn't have been cut, but overall, the director does a good job of keeping you on edge, which is something not often seen in a Star Wars movie.
As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I can't help but disagree with some of the story and character choices, but this is the film Star Wars needed. It's bold, not afraid to let go of the past and takes us to new places and adds a little dose of maturity the franchise needed. It's not just a good Star Wars film. it's a good film.
Go see this film with an open mind is the best advice I can give. Leave your idea of how Star Wars film should be like at home and let the director and the cast take you on an incredible journey.
