A movie that given some time will be looked back as the best Star Wars movie ever made

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2017)

I wasn't planning on seeing this one. I don't have the typical Star Wars itch most people have. I'm a film lover first and not a fantasy or sci-fi or superhero action film lover. I normally stay away from those unless someone says it is worth watching. After seeing all the poor reviews I began to think that there is a real reason for me to watch this. I was intrigued to watch this "disappointing" film. Guess what? It was amazing. Not perfect, but creative, complex and yes fun! What Rian Johnson added to the Star Wars universe was a much needed jolt of realism and complexity. I think the major reason most people dislike it is that they don't like to feel uncomfortable or unsure, but they are willing to watch the completely unoriginal "The Force Awakens" and left satisfied? Are you kidding me? There are a lot of social problems I'm not going to go into that makes me think why the masses tend to behave this way, but anyone who loves creative and thoughtful explorations in film (Blade Runner 2049, The Arrival to name a few) will enjoy this one. Those that want to see regurgitated adaptation will not. One thing I promise is that in the next few years to come this movie will finally pick up steam as being one of the best if not "the" best Star Wars movie ever made. Just you watch.
