Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Doug M — 11 Jan 2018

By far the best of the new 3 Star Wars movies under Disney.

Much better than The Force Awakens - more original, more creative, better acting/performances, better dialogue, and more emotional weight (yes, even compared that major death in The Force Awakens).

I can understand why it's divisive - every fan who thinks they're capable of writing a screenplay, had their own ideas of what to expect. Most complaints seeming to be that this film dared to be original & surprise us.

After the story re-hash, "greatest hits" of SW Force Awakens, I was pleasantly surprised to see Rian & Disney taking risks & the story in a new direction.

Can't wait to see what Rian Johnson does with his own SW trilogy.

And for what it's worth, I'm about as major a SW fan as there is. From 1977's original until now. And this might not be the SW movie many other fans (undoubtedly skewing these audience scores) would have asked for - it's the movie true fans, those wanting the series to move forward/develop/mature truly deserve.

Whether you're a die-hard SW fan, new to the series, or just like a well made action adventure movie - The Last Jedi should not be missed!
