BS3_RED Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 NO SPOILERS Just watched it and really enjoyed it. Has a bit of everything and as good as Rogue 1. Thought there were a lot of loose ends though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted December 14, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I'm not sure what to make of it, was enjoyable in parts but far too many one liner gags for me. Interesting ending (won't spoil it), special affects were amazing as ever, oh well only another two years to wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northamptonshire Red Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Bar a couple of good moments, I also thought it was underwhelming. No significant twists or depth, just felt superficial and lacklustre. Too many Marvel like quips, annoying characters (liked Rey more this time round up until the end and Kylo is somewhat interesting), plot holes. The more I think about it the worse it gets... So many directions they could have taken the new trilogy in and it's just a rehash of the old films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much preferred the look and feel of Rogue One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 My wife and I went to see it last night. I had purposely swerved all reviews (whether online, in print or on telly) and just went in cold, having only watched the trailer. Is it the best of the 8 films? Not by a long way. But neither is it the worst. Overall I enjoyed it. And I reckon there were open threads to warrant a sequel (you heard it here first.) The opening music and text crawl still gets me giddy as a little kid: not least for the fact that my wife chose, as a total surprise to me, to walk down the aisle at our wedding to the Star Wars theme played on the church organ.

palmerred Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Watched it today and for me it’s the best since the original three and I really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Really enjoyed it BUT it was a bit Harry Potter in places which I wasn’t keen on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I'm a lifelong fan and wasn't disappointed. It's every bit a Star Wars film, for better or worse. Loved some things, hated some others. Certainly left feeling entertained though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Was fun, but did not enjoy it as a star wars movie. I am not sure i like what they have done. Would be interesting to have a debate on here at some point when it drops out of cinemas to see what people liked / disliked about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Red Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 ^^ You've got to be joking..........a 38 minute video review of a movie.....WTF?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Red Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I thought it was underwhelming. I would give it a 3 out of 5 rating. For me, the series has lost it's magic and is past it's sell by date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I wouldn't mind seeing the Star Wars franchise do something similar to what Marvel is doing with their movies, each movie is starting to be set as a different genre. Ant-Man was a heist movie, Winter Soldier being a political thriller sort of thing, while you know roughly what you're getting from Marvel, the different genres allow something different each time. Also move away from this time period! There's been rumblings about them going to the time period of the game the old republic, I know its no longer canon but I would love a film about the Mandalorians for example, Mandalorian wars with Revan and Jedi Civil war too, only thing would be all fans would know whats coming if they stuck to the content of the game but all the other stuff was based before the game so a fair amount of creative license with that.

Major Isewater Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 I didn't go to see Rogue as I felt that Star Wars films had nothing new to ' say ' however , at a loose end , I went to see The Last Jedi and thoroughly enjoyed it . There were only six other people in the theatre so perhaps there is too much exposure. Like a previous poster mentioned, the opening sequence makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up . I still remember queuing up on the pavement to watch the first Star Wars at the Odeon , Weston . Popular culture changed from that day on. As for TLJ , I liked the fact that Luke and Leia were played by the original stars , old farts , like me , can still kick ass ! There was an agreeable continuity. The theme is a bit tired now but the film was well done and there were some little plot twists which kept it interesting. My gripe is the cash cow that these sequels are .

I saw the first Star Wars film forty years ago. I came out of the cinema wondering what everyone was raving about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
