Star Wars: The Last Jedi [DVD]

Awful movie as a stand alone experience, even worse as part of the larger Star Wars universe. It’s good for one watch, but revisiting this movie make the jokes painful and the plot laughable. This movie and the resulting fallout has really turned me off Star Wars as a whole. Avoid at all costs.

This film is so disjointed and fragmented that it feels like they just came up with a list of which political points they decided absolutely needed to be in the movie and then haphazardly threw random story bits in there to fill up the space in between.I guess if their only goal was to beat people over the head with Disney's "values" then they did their job. If they were trying to make a good film, an interesting film, or another classic Star Wars film, they failed. Hard.The really sad thing is, it is possible to do both. They didn't.The Force Awakens is a mediocre film, that is made to look like a masterpiece, in comparison to The Last Jedi.

The original Star Wars universe is 80% Sci-Fi, 20% Fantasy. (80% Realistic, 20% Disbelief)Disney's version of the Star Wars universe is 100% Fantasy. (100% Disbelief)The people deciding what the Star Wars universe is now have no idea what the Star Wars universe was. Their shallow minds that only see skin color and gender cannot comprehend the depth of appeal of the original Star Wars universe. They wouldn't understand why they should be ashamed of what they've done to this global mind space.

Worse Star Wars ever. Horrible politically correct characters with no substance. Acting sub par. Plot is ridiculous. Director should be barred from further projects.

As a long time, die hard Star Wars fan I'll say this.Disney has murdered this beloved franchise.Both episode VII and VIII are just reused plots ripped off from a new hope and empire respectively, with a force fed feel good political agenda buried underneath.

Basic and predictable storyline. The only character i cared about, Luke, is killed off after very little involvement in the movie. The series keeps getting worse and worse.

Truly the worst Star Wars film ever made, despite great visual effects. It almost seems like they made a purposeful effort to kill off this cash cow franchise, I'm at a loss to understand why.

***Spoilers***I’ve been a fan of Star Wars since 1977 and was so disappointed in this newest installment of the franchise. Poorly written, with beloved characters acting out of character, a freaky Yoda force-ghost, Princess Leia spending much of the movie in a coma (after flying a la Mary Poppins through space), annoying and unlikable new characters...thanks for ruining Star Wars, Disney. Only redeeming parts were the cute Porgs and seeing Mark Hamill in his iconic role, although Disney changed his chararacter and Luke deserved a much better storyline than he got here. Very disappointing.

■ エピソード４～６の主人公たちの頑張りをぜんぶ台無しにする脚本。■ さわやか好青年であったルークのイメージを崩し、観る者が彼に期待する見せ場（本気のライトセーバー戦）も無し。■ スケール感が非常に乏しく、エピソード１～６で感じられた「全銀河的なスケール」が微塵もない。■ ファースト・オーダーが全銀河を支配しているという感じが乏しく、私的な武力組織同士の抗争にしか見えない。■ エピソード７で期待の持てたレジスタンス側のサブキャラ達の、あまりにもあっけない退場。■ 今まで名前すら出ていない紫色の髪のオバさんが、昔からの重要キャラ同然の我がもの顔で美味しいところを全部もっていく。■ 今後、「ドロイドに操縦させるか遠隔操作でやればどんな強敵も瞬殺なのに」という突っ込みを許してしまう、超光速体当たり。■ スノークが何者なのか明かされぬまま、本人が退場（次作で明かされる可能性も無いわけではないが）。■ ルークのライトセーバがなぜあの場所にあったのかが明かされぬまま、本人が退場（次作で明かされる可能性も無いわけではないが）。■　「何でもアリの魔法」に成り下がったフォース。■ 登場人物たちの、あまりにも非合理的な言動。･･････とまぁ、こんな感じ。はっきり言って駄作である。ルーカスを離れ、「ルーカス縛り」からの脱却を目指すこと自体は悪いとは思わないが、肝心の内容がこれでは･･････やっぱ、「スター・ウォーズ」はジョージ・ルーカスじゃないと駄目ですな。

I am a lifelong Star Wars fan having watched the first one aged 7. I have looked forward to every movie since. I took my young children to watch the film at the cinema, unfortunately big drinks and small bladders lead to interruptions. I was a bit underwhelmed by the film, in fact really disappointed but I thought that perhaps I missed a key scene or two while taking the kids for a comfort break. I waited for the film to be released but didn't buy it immediately as it was not as compelling as previous movies in this franchise. I finally made the time to watch the film uninterrupted with headphones on to hear the dialogue. The first thing that happened was I fell asleep, that hardly ever happens to me, what does that tell you? I perked myself up rewound and persevered. I'm sorry to say this is by far the worse film in the franchise and probably one of the most disappointing films full stop. What a wasted opportunity. I suspect that it followed the pattern of Empire where our heroes get a good kicking only to make good in the next film. With the exception of Luke I found all other characters pointless and unbelievable. So sad Princess Leia went out like that.

Rubbish who they gonna kill off next

The first issue I have with this film, which was the most jarring on my first viewing is the strangely jokey tone, clashing hideously with quite a dark plot. Moments that should be menacing, poignant or memorable are instantly undermined by a cheap gag, a corny one liner or at one point by an actual "mother joke". Each time I start to get immersed, I'm jarred back out of it by a poorly written, childish joke that feels totally out of place and unwelcome. It makes the movie feel more like a badly executed spoof, than a real Star Wars film.The plot feels very contrived, revolving around a prolonged, low speed pursuit through space, in which the First Order can't catch the Resistance's ship because their ship's top speed is the same as the Resistance's ship, and the Resistance ship is just happens to be slightly out of range of their guns. Plus, the Resistance can't jump through hyperspace because the First Order have somehow figured out how to track them, so the baddies are just sitting around waiting for the goodies' ship to run out of petrol...On top of this, there is a huge sub-plot, in which the protagonists defy their superiors and set out on a daring mission to get their shipmates out of their predicament, only for the entire sequence to turn out to be literally for nothing at all... In a single line of dialogue, the preceding hour of the film is revealed to have been pure filler. Their success or failure was irrelevant, and the whole section could have been cut from the film without affecting a damn thing. The really infuriating part is; taken to it's conclusion, this sub-plot could have provided a satisfying climax to the film. But it seems that pushing a political agenda took precedence over a consistent and entertaining plot. Which brings me onto my final point.The overall message of this film also seems at odds with the spirit of Star Wars. The previous two trilogies showed the dangers of unquestioned loyalty, of blind obedience to authority... The brutal totalitarianism of the Empire in the Original Trilogy, and the dogma and arrogance of the Jedi Order in the Prequel Trilogy. But here, the message seems to be the complete opposite. The manner in which the afore mentioned sub-plot is eventually derailed pushes across a message of always trusting authority, not thinking for yourself, and that taking the initiative ultimately gets you nowhere. If only Poe, Finn and Rose had just shut up and waited for orders, they could have saved themselves a whole lot of trouble, and shaved a whole hour off the film. At times it attempts to make a point about greed and even animal welfare, with the protagonists setting a herd of horse-like creatures free. But it all feels very hypocritical when they ignore the plight of the child slaves who muck out the stables.In conclusion, the film feels like a complete mess. I have no idea how any writer can possibly salvage enough to produce a satisfying conclusion to this trilogy.

Poor movie worse star wars movie to date
