I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed episodes 4, 5, 6, and 7. I haven't seen episodes 1, 2, and 3. I will probably watch them eventually, but right now, I just don't have any interest in them. Not a huge fan of the series and couldn't care less about any changes or new directions the series will take.

That doesn't mean the movie is good. Critics can (and usually are) bought out to make good reviews and people were going to see it anyways because Star Wars. I mean if you really want an indicator, look how Solo did. One of the most popular characters in the Star Wars series and his origin story completely bombs all because it followed The Last Jedi.

The original Star Wars movie was great, cleverly done, used future and all. The second two were barely average, the prequels are ludicrous self-parodies, and the unwatchable filler movies are just shameless exploitation of the franchise.

I like how everyone who hates it is because of too much girl power.
I like all the Star Wars movies but I just don't like Last Jedi. Made Luke a coward and a joke. Finn and Roses storyline was worthless. The characters themselves are fine but are completely not important to the overall plot. You can take them out entirely and it doesn't effect the movie. What a waste of two new characters. They changed Poe and made him a complete ass just to push Holdo into being the hero. It was completely unnecessary to do it that way they could of just made her in charge after the explosion. She could of still been the hero. Even though it would of been better if she would of lived to have leadership for the next movie and had Ackbar ram the ship in hyperspace after staying his famous line. Another waste of a new character. Running out of Gas in space. Bad writing. The opening battle. Bad writing. Snoke being no one. Bad writing. No real lightsaber duel with Luke. Bad writing. I did like how Rey is the new hero, who cares if she is overpowered for now. Kylo Ren is not as whiny as in TFA. Finn and Rose could be great together if they had a good storyline. Poe as a pilot not a leader. All of the movies have problems but this one almost seemed to destroy everything the entire saga was building too. --- Spoooooooon-The Tick That tall drink of water with the silver spoon up his ***." -Red, The Shawshank Redemption ...

I found it was one of those movies that was enjoyable enough to watch at the time, but the moment I started thinking about it, it fell apart. There are just so many things in it that don't make sense, not the least of which is that the only thing it accomplished in the grand story is that the rebels ended the movie in exactly the same position as they started, only on a different planet and with a few people dead and ships destroyed. I think the reaction to it is absurdly overblown and people are getting far too angry over basically nothing, but it just wasn't a very good movie.

The movie has anti-oppression themes at every level. It has no human substance. No real moral complexity and no real character development. It's just the oppressed rising up. The film seriously comes off like a piece of propaganda.
Rey rebels against Luke Skywalker, symbolically against the idea of noble lineage itself Luke and Yoda rebel against tradition Kylo rebels against Luke as a child Kylo rebels against Snoke as an adult The oppressed children are depicted as on the path to rebellion against the wealthy elite on the arms dealer planet The one case in which the aesthetic of rebellion is clearly reversed is with Poe, who symbolizes masculinity. His rebellion against the female leadership fails and he is depicted as entitled. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The movie has anti-oppression themes at every level. Yeah, anti-oppression is nothing new to Star Wars. The original trilogy was a bunch of rebels fighting against an oppressive empire. The prequels were a mix of Anakin struggling against the overbearing restrictions of the Jedi order and a handful of rebels rallying behind the Jedi order to rebel against an increasingly-oppressive empire. And now episodes 7, 8, and presumably 9 are about the Rebels mk. 2 struggling against the Empire mk. 2. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ...

I could go on a big spiel, but I won't ... so here's the highlights
1. They waste the main villain, all the build up gone 2. They waste Luke, all the build up gone 3. Almost half an hour is wasted on Luke being a doink explaining all the different points of view about Kylo 4. The moral learned on the pleasure planet is wasted and immediately subverted 5. I don't think Rey and Finn even interact once in the movie... 6. They waste the secondary villain, all the build up gone 7. THE ENTIRE C-PLOT ABOUT THE MAIN REBEL SHIP 8. The First Order as a whole, except for one scene, wasted Basically the whole movie is "how can we waste everything we set up" --- "Salt cures Everything!"

I'm hoping not to but fully expecting to see them face an EVEM BIGGAR superweapon for the grand finale. That's one area where the prequels were better. There was plot recycling, but at least Lucas knew better than to make more than 2 Death Stars.

I don't understand why these aren't real complaints. You don't run out of gas in space it's just bad science and a horrible problem to have for a plot device. The opening battle with the turtle bombers and them getting slaughtered was also a complete waste of story. Have it a heated battle with Y-wings and B-wings trying to bomb the battleship. It was boring and pointless. Snoke being a nobody and dying is okay but not if Kylo isn't a threat enough to fill in for a real villain. He was strong and ruthless but now dead. All that is left is Kylo who can't do anything except fall for Luke's crap at the end. No real lightsaber duel. While Kylo/Rey vs guards was cool it had it's flaws. The Luke vs Kylo was weak. It started out interesting but still keeps the characters right where they were at the beginning. Kylo as an easy mark to pull a fast one on and Luke still seems weak and cowardly. --- Spoooooooon-The Tick That tall drink of water with the silver spoon up his ***." -Red, The Shawshank Redemption ...
