Hi everyone happy new year,
I know it's been a while since I have reviewed a film as per usual but I thought I'd start up again by doing the latest addition to the Star Wars Saga (if it's still called that). This movie has had many good reviews calling it the "Best Star Wars yet", the audience, however, are debating if the film is good or that its bad. People have been calling it bad due it being more of an end of a trilogy than a sequel. So without a further doubt let's continue with the review.
The film takes place a few minutes after the Force Awakens and the Resistance are desperately escaping the clutches of the First Order. As the Resistance are about to finish there evacuation the First Order have found them and start to wipe them from Existence. On the other side of the Galaxy Rey (Daisy Ridley) has found the location of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) on the island of Ahch-To where there was once a Jedi Temple until destroyed by Ben Solo or as he is known Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). After being tracked through light speed the Resistance are trying desperately to find a new base without being stopped by General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson) and the First Order. Poe (Oscar Isaacs) has a plan to get someone to stop the First Order from tracking them by shutting the core down on Supreme Leader Snoke's (Andy Serkis) star destroyer. Finn (John Boyega) and a new character named Rose (Kelly Marie Tran) go to a planet called Canto Bite where they find a hacker named DJ (Benicio Del Toro) who help them on to the star destroyer before betraying them for an award. The plan fails so the Resistance evacuates to a planet called Crait where they hide until Rey comes back to help fight and get them out of the First Order's clutches.
That is the whole story of the film. So what did I think of it? I thought it is a pretty decent film, I understand why people hate it as there is a lot of unanswered questions such as Snoke's Identity as he is killed off in his second scene in the flesh. The good things I thought that it had an interesting use of two separate stories that link together at the end, they gave Poe a bigger part as he was forgotten about in the last film, Carrie Fisher had a bittersweet part and also Yoda was back. However, like all films, there are also bad things such as Snoke's part in the whole film, the Canto Bite scene, The fact it had a lot of unnecessary jokes which make it more of a Marvel Movie than a Star Wars Movie, Also Luke's personality and that he shied away from the force. Also an extra mention to the film's ending, the ending is a small child who we saw a scene prior for a second, looking at the resistance leaving through the Millenium Falcon and for some reason he has the force. Why. Rogue One has a more satisfying ending with the Darth Vader scene.
Now there were things that I did find weird in the movie as well one was the blue milk coming out of this seal on the island as it was awkward and added nothing to the plot, C-3PO had a Gold Arm,This is awkward for me it looked like he had a red arm for most of the 30 years before the Force Awakens so the fact that this film takes place literally after the destruction of Star Killer Base why has his arm gone back to gold, Also the falcon wasn't flown with Han Solo as he is mostly with the ship and the fact the character is no longer with was a little bit heartbreaking. But then again the new Solo Movie is coming May this year so we'll see how that will turn out.
But the main question people want an answer to the most is what did I think of the Porg's? Honestly, nothing much they seemed to waste a lot of time that could have been added to certain characters they were good as they had a funny relationship with Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo not Peter Mayhew) also R2-D2 was played by Jimmy Vee as Kenny Baker unfortunately died.
So overall I'd give the Last Jedi an 8.5/10 good movie, not the best executed.
