Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Movie Review- Spoiler Free
So I saw the movie last night at the midnight screening and I'm super pumped. Unfortunately my wife doesn't want to talk every last detail to death so I'm excited for others to see it so I can gush over every little scene. I'm already planning to go see it again next Tuesday, damn it was good!
You may be able to tell, I'm kinda a super fan!
So this review is mostly going to be filled with just how awesome it was. It didn't disappoint. It had everything you'd expect from a Star Wars movie.
I'm so worried about dropping any spoilers so it's likely going to be brief. I just deleted half the damn thing since I want you to be able to go in fresh. I'm the guy who didn't even watch previews since I wanted to go in fresh.
Lets just say it had "everything" so much that at times it felt like they were ticking off a checklist of all the best parts of the old Star Wars movie. As a fanboy I certainly won't complain it had the epic grandiose feel.
Damn I really want to say so much more, but like I said I don't want to give anything away.
I'll tell everyone what! Once this post pays out in 7 days, I'm dropping a better review full of spoilers and discussion and every damn detail. I can't wait to dissect the crap out of this!
I'll admit it had one scene that was a terrible groan-er, everyone in the theater felt the same way as you heard everyone scoff at the cheese, it was a pretty sweet little turn of events though. It did have some great surprises and twists. They are also really upping the game with great one-liners and personality. The damn Poe has some pretty sweet lines once again.
I do wish they developed/revealed the back story a bit more, they talked about some stuff and grazed over others, but maybe it the end that's good and it leaves room for some great pieces of literature to fill the gaps.
I think I'm going to have to leave it at that, and stop myself from getting into any more details.
It doesn't disappoint and totally a must see, can't wait to really open the discussion on this one next week

I enjoyed it as well. Reviewed this morning spoiler free. I did talk in broad strokes, but not anything that would be spoiler-ish. I went to the first showing. It was packed for 7 PM. Our theater had it on six of their 10 screens.
I read yours too actually much deeper, but your also the pro reviewer. Can't wait to really discuss it all!
I'm afraid I must disagree. While mostly enjoyable, it was sorely lacking in many, many ways. I'll respect your desire to not go into spoilers, so I'll just leave these thoughts here:
I can go on. At length.
Glad you liked it. I enjoyed the interplay between Luke and Rey, and between Rey and Ben. The sword fight on the flagship was pretty cool.
Aside from that...all flash, little substance. Which is NOT what Star Wars (used to be) about.
Interestingly I had a similar conversation with many of those points with my wife earlier tonight. She thinks I need to open my eyes and be more critical instead of overly positive about everything...lol. I'll shoot you a nice upvote for your great discussion in a few days once I'm not worried about bumping up these kinda spoilers
No worries.
I'll probably put up my own Spoilery review in the next day or two.
I really, really, REALLY want to think this was awesome. Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw in the theater...when I was 3. So it's been a major influence on my entire life.
But.......
Oy
Yeah, they did miss a lot of opportunities and it did lack a lot of depth. I'll have to watch with a more critical lense next week. I'll watch for your post and we'll chat more there.
It's up.
