The Last Jedi Movie Review
The latest entry in the Star wars universe is a very good
one. I don’t really think its better than Force Awakens but its great. Last
Jedi picks up right after Force Awakens…The movie has good pacing for the most part.
However, the infamous pat in the middle is weird but actually necessary to the
plot.
Last Jedi
has more going on than its predecessor. The movie changes location a lot. I
love the way it starts out. There’s a lot of unforced comedy in the movie. It
kinda comes off like a Marvel movie. The start of the movie is funny as
Resistance pilot Poe jokes and stalls General Hux. I gotta say that I like both
Poe and Hux more in this film than in Force Awakens. The Resistance destroys
the enemy Dreadnought. The victory is short lived…As the First Order stalks
them through space even after they go lightspeed….
It would
seem TLJ is an expansion of what we know about Star Wars….In TFA you just feel
like you need to catch up to what happened after Return of the Jedi and how to
find Luke. TLJ flips the script! It jumps around a lot….and again besides the
horrible but necessary sub plot on the casino planet (with Finn and Rose) the
movie is so entertaining and well paced…. I think the villains are masterful
here. Especially Snoke. He’s like an Palpatine light version haha. Leia is far
more interesting in this movie. Those force powers tho….
Overall I can understand why this movie is so divisive among
the fanbase. There are things I loved and things I wasn’t too fond of. This movie
has changed the game….

really explained (yet)
