Star Wars: The Last Jedi

a review by Gimly

There is so much to love about The Last Jedi. I was very entertained watching this 8th Star Wars saga film, I'll see it again, there's some truly beautiful scenes, all that jazz. But I am not fully on board with The Last Jedi. The film is a fun watch, and if you were to take it as a whole, then place it in a bubble, it's a pretty good movie too, but a lot about it is... Pointless. I'm not saying the movie was pointless, it has a lot to offer, and deserves its place as Episode VIII, but there are moments started within The Last Jedi that end up being pointless by the time the credits roll, and more than that, it goes back to ideas from the Star Wars saga as a whole, and makes them pointless too.

Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
