Hold on a minute

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2017)

I am honestly confused and frustrated by all the one and two star reviews that this exceptional movie has been receiving. I am really? Y'all think this movie was one of the worst movies ever made? I know, I know, we all did not expect a lot of things to happen that did happen. We constantly argued who Rey's parents were, and who Snoke could be. We didn't see Luke dying the way he did. Totally unpredictable. But isn't that what makes a great movie? I'd say the worst movies are the ones you can predict by watching the teaser trailer. However, those movies are the ones to get nine and ten star reviews while this one gets one and two stars.
As a massive Star Wars fan, I left the theatre opening night in awe of the pure raw emotion and feeling this movie contained. I have never cried while watching a movie; yet, this movie, (although as stupid as it sounds to some people), is extremely powerful and moving to fans who have loved Star Wars their entire lives.
To those who criticize the slo mo chase. Really? Personally I have never found a chase scene to be more intriguing. You have to keep in mind the significance of this scene. If the Resistance runs out of fuel, then the entire Resistance movement is over. Done. Game Over. Everything the Rebel Alliance and Resistance movements, all the lives lost means nothing, and yet some people find this extremely boring.
One of the first questions I was asked when I walked out of the theatre was, "do you think it was better than The Empire Strikes Back?" And I started to think, we cannot as Star Wars fans compare these new movie installments to the originals. Yes the original trilogy will always have a special place in our hearts, but the entire way the new movies are shot, written, and directed is totally different. These new movies are written to both old audience, and new fans, and we must constantly keep in mind how difficult that may be. However, The Last Jedi is easily the better than both Episode VII and Rogue One.
So, is Star Wars: The Last Jedi a perfect movie? No. I gave it ten stars only to pull up the ratings. The Last Jedi should easily be a 8.8, yet at the time I write this review it stands at a 7.8. Don't hate the movie because of its unpredictability, and don't hate it because it was not exactly what you thought it would turn out to be. And what's one of the best parts of The Last Jedi? We have no idea what Episode IX will be like.
