Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi- Who knew something created by George Lucas over 30 years ago would still being this strong. I mean, the fan base for this genre take things very seriously. Hell, Disney bought this franchise for 4.3 billions dollars, and they are going to make 10 times that back in just a few years. Mainly, because they knew this is something that would live on forever. I would be lying if I didn't say get swept up in the seduction of the light saber and being a jedi as a child. I know, when I have children, I am going to introduce them to this iconic franchise.
Plot- Supreme Leader Snoke has pinned down the Rebels, and is slowly wiping them out each encounter. The remaining Rebels are trying to escape as they are being chased throughout the galaxy by the Empire. Rey tries to convince Legendary Jedi Master Luke Skywalker to train her in the ways of the force. This way she can find her place in the world.
Honestly, It is incredibly hard to truly review this movie without giving spoilers, so this might come off vague. The movie had some very intense action scenes, and I was completely captivated by each one. The story is line is where it began to lose me. What is it with the Jedi, putting themselves into exile whenever they experience a huge failure? First it was Yoda and now it is Luke. I hate how Luke became such an emo type of character. I guess, it is hard to see a character I loved as a child appearing so broken. There is another confrontation with the Sith and Jedi, which was so anti-climatic, and I was very disappointed with that entire part of the movie.
The visuals and sound effects are good enough to for me to tell everyone to see this movie in theaters, but the story line doesn't really move that far froward.
Final Verdict- 7/10. It was a good movie, and worth seeing in theaters. I was expecting a lil more i guess.
This is it for now, This is Phil Goes to the Movies, so you don't have to!
Good Deal!!!!
