Having taken her first steps into a larger world in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", Rey continues her epic journey with Finn, Poe and Luke Skywalker in the next chapter of the Star Wars saga.
BIG FAN RANT ALERT! (Seriously,I warned you.)
So...After the huge 'Tidal Wave' that was the fans tearing the movie apart with a massive hate on it (move over,prequels),I was really scared for the screening,but in the end was Star Wars The Last Jedi a massive letdown (as the fans 'always' say)? Wrong. A 1000 times wrong. This is one of the best movies i've seen this year,even if it's nowhere near Empire Strikes Back.
The pure love that an indie director like Rian Johnson (Brick,Looper) crafts throughout was so impressive,I kept smiling for the whole runtime. Like some rare sequels (say,the recent Blade Runner 2049 or Toy Story 2),this is one of those that truly expands upon the last one,with a production design that really loves the universe and tries to put every single detail on it. Think of it like a birthday cake: You have the bread,which is the set design,a delicious cream made of Oscar-worthy Visual and Sound Effects,the taste of the bread which is the story that delivers some surprising twists and a comedic timing that I only saw in Empire,and then the candles,which are the score (this time made excellently by John Williams,unlike TFA) and the acting,with Mark Hamill delivering the example of what a Supporting Actor Oscar nominee should look and be like,Adam Driver constantly evolving through his career with a Kylo Ren that is truly written this time around,and the saddest tribute I could have ever seen in a movie by Carrie Fisher. And yeah,the Porgs sure are adorable,i'll put those as sprinkles on my cake,thanks. The only flaw that keeps it from a 10/10 is the relation (?) between Finn (played by John Boyega) and Rose (played by Kelly Marie Tran). It almost makes the experience distracting from the main story,but it's not like a huge pinpoint. It was decent to look at. And another flaw isn't specifically with the movie,but it's revolved around the internet,and that's the fans:
"Overrated s**t"
"It changes nothing we have had for 2 years while having the slowest space chase in cinematic history."
"Too D**n long!"
EVERYONE HAS TO SETTLE THE CREEPER DOWN.
If you are reading this as a fan,hoew the living TNT could you get upset and mad at this?!? You did the same thing in TFA being ''A New Hope 2.0" (one of its biggest cons and pros),now you're being mad at something that tries to go a different route rather than being ''Empire Strikes Back 2.0''?!? Well,good luck on making this the "mother!" of Sci-Fi movies... Because that's how the Internet works... And 2017's horrid generation of young audience members... (i'm 15).
But anyway,yes,i do recommend checking out The Last Jedi. Trust me,it'll be worth your time and the hype.
