People are Overreacting Big Time

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2018)

Star War: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi is the 8th episode in the new Star Wars saga and has a lot of fans divided over weather Disney ruined it or admire it for going into bold new directions. But i am gonna talk more about that later and just get on to what i loved and didn't like about the movie.
First of all i love a majority of the people in this movie. Most of the new cast returns and they are all pretty good especially Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren in episode 7 was just good to me, he wasn't great or anything like that, but in this movie you can see he just wants to succeed and impress his master Snoke and he learns to grow as a person. Rey is also pretty good here too. But my favorite performance was Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker. I love the direction they took with his character, just someone who wants to hide and not face what he possibly caused. The Special effects are good but that's expected at this point. Action scenes were well filmed and weren't disapointing in the slightest.
In my opinion there was a lot to love about this film, but that doesn't mean it's a flawless movie. This has probably been said way to many times, but there is a plot line with Finn and a new character Rose. This plot is just about them going to a casino planet to find a code breaker but are then captured for jeez i don't know maybe 12 seconds before they break out and during the whole escape scene there's a lot of commentary about animal cruelty and how some people profit off of war. Not only does this feel completely rushed, but it doesn't fit anywhere in this movie. It's fine to have social commentary in a film (i often encourage it) but at least do it in a clever way and not make it so preachy. Also something that pissed people off was the death of Snoke. This to be completely honest didn't matter that much to me, but i wish he had some arch like how the Emperor did in Return of The Jedi. I also in some way liked this scene because Kylo Ren is free and is now the leader of The First Order. He has no one holding him back like how the Emperor did towards Vader.
Overall i enjoyed this movie. but with that being said it is in no way a flawless movie, actually now that i think about it this movie could have been so much more. But i still liked it for what it was. But i also think that a lot of people are really overreacting. A lot of people are complaining about how this movie felt so different and how they changed the vision that J.J Abrams had for the saga. People calm down! It's a movie, it's fine if you didn't like it but damn do you have to protest about how bad it is and how it should be removed from the Star Wars cannon? People just expect way too much from Star Wars these days.
I'll give it a 7/10, not perfect but overall an enjoyable Star Wars movie.
