Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Richard T — 26 Sep 2018

It's time to let old things die..

Well I certainly hope not.

The last Jedi is actually the first star wars movie I actually enjoyed watching. Which was a very pleasant surprise.

As with the beginning I was like.. Here we go again.

The same music, same big yellow letters as a introduction..(which was porely translated fort the netherlands by the way).

It made me cringe.. like... really? This again!

And then the movie starded.

Immediatly you felt like you are back in this fantasy world only with a lot of new charackters. At least for me.

I was impressed by the way they give you the same ambiance but in a more modern setting.

Nice!

I do however was a little bit in a lost because of the new charackters because it had been a long time since I ever watch star wars.

But it was resolved quickly.

As with all the movies the story isn't to complicated, butt very enjoyable, and easy to follow with a beautifull mythical underlining.

And when whe got to ahch-to.

Wauw, just wauw.

The island is so beautiful and it's funny to see how Luke has made it it's own which whe can see when Rey follows him around.

And humour is all around.

The, not so subtle, irritation of the locals on ahch-to towards Rey.

The way Luke throws away the lightsaber as soon as he gets it, the bound between the porg and chewbacca. It's great. Star Wars always had this kind of humour in it's films.

So much hidden gems.

The way the lightsaber of Kylo looks more like a sword compared to Rey's sable.

The visuals in general are perfect and compelling and there is a lot of attention to details like no red footprints when Luke walks towards Kylo.

And the vulptex.. AMAZING.. so beautifull.

There is so much to love about the movie and it really reignited my interest in the franchise.

The actors are wonderfull in their roles, Although I would have loved to see more of Rey and Luke training. For me that was the best part.

And personally I think people are going to miss the big lightsaber fights.

But I haven't enjoyed a star wars movie like this one in a long long time.

Go watch it right now!
