Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Ned94 — 05 Jan 2018

This is not Star Wars unfortunately.

Whenever I watched Star Wars, the original three, the prequels or the animated TV shows, I liked them because they gave back the Star Wars feeling with the characters and the immense story. With this episode, after a disastrous Episode 7, I am hopeless. The movie is long, packed with action which is good but the characters are not well written and most of them are misrepresented, not to mention the modern age plight in the movie:

- the new characters are not capable of taking over from the old characters, they are just vague and you feel like there is no point in the whole movie. - the old characters, nearly all of them, seem to be totally different from previous parts. They are not who they were, they have different ideals. - women are strong, brave and clever whereas men are cowardly, stupid or impulsive without brains (in old Star Wars movies we had strong women and men characters and it wasn't pushed, here it is pushed).

All in all, could have been a great movie because I believe old and new could have existed next to each other but they didn't even try to do that, they just wanted to get rid of the old and introduce the new which turned out to be a failure.

3 out of 10.
