9/10
What's wrong in this fanbase? So much hate....

Wow, so much hate. What the hell.

Do you guys actually watch the same movie I just saw, because I'm pretty sure you watched the wrong one. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is easily my one of my favorite movies of 2017, and it's easily better than TFA.

Mark Hamill is amazing as Luke Skywalker. Carrie Fisher is also amazing as Leia (rest in peace, you'll be greatly missed.... ). Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega's performances are clearly improve compared to TFA, and they did a great job. Newcomer Kelly Marie Tran as Rose is a welcome addition to the saga, so does La 9ura Dern and Benicio del Toro. Adam Driver is a menace in this movie, there's a lot more depth on his character, and he did a great potrayal. And Andy Serkis once again proves that he's the king of motion capture, even without being a ape, with his potrayal as Supreme Leader Snoke.

The cinematography is just, Wow. There's plenty of money shots that just sold this movie. The music is also, amazing and intense. And the fight scenes are some of the most entertaining I've seen in a Star Wars movie. Director and Writer Rian Johnson just knocked it out of the park! The CGI also looks fantastic. Oh, and porks are just so adorable....

If I could point out a negative, that would be the subplot/romance(?) between Finn (John Boyega) and Rose (Kelly Marie Tran). It just felt so out of place, and drags the movie a lot. But I do like the idea of the subplot, which gives a new perspective on the Star Wars storyline. Also, Gwendoline Christie as Phasma is once again underutilized, which is a shame since she has potential to be a great adversary. Beyond that, The Last Jedi easily delivers a story that's while does take some cues from The Empire Strikes Back, it is entirely a brand new story that fans of the original will definitely love it, although admittedly, some story elements may anger some diehard fans. It's definitely worth watching, and it's easily one of the best movies of 2017.

Oh, and about the incredibly large amount of 1 star ratings, resist it and walk away, because the movie is not as bad as they say! (All is as the Force wills it) Haters can choke! That's all I'm saying.

Final Score: 9/10 for story, acting, and superb action.
