Star Wars: The Last Jedi’

“Star Wars” fever has taken the box office by storm as Lucas film’s latest installment, “The Last Jedi,” has posted an opening weekend of $220 million. That’s the second highest opening of all-time behind the film’s 2015 predecessor, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,”

I'm really looking forward to seeing this film and I'd like to know your opinion of it prior to screening it next Thursday.

 

I just got back from holidays, cant believe I havent seen it yet and doesnt look like im going to get a chance till end of the week.

 

I saw the standard version. Still plan on seeing the 3d version soon.

I saw a different movie than the supposed star wars fans that say they hate it.

Wasn't perfect but some funny complaints I have heard...
Minor to medium spoilers
Was too different from the other star wars films.(meanwhile tfa is panned the most for being too much like anh)
Too much comedy (all star wars films had funny moments)
We never get smokes backstory. (We never got Palpatines back story but you never cried about that) maybe we will get smokes in 20 years.
I didn't like What happens to luke. (Tough shit, that's what happened to him and it's well within the character of jedi's)

One of the things I always hated about star wars was how they bounce from dogfight to lightsaber battle to ground attacks. And this movie does it the worst of all 9 films. And there are a few other things I don' like about it. However it is still one of the better star wars movies to me.

 

I am the last Gedi

 

I am the last peni

 

We should make a film pens

 

About a Jedi getting his GED?
Or a gedi getting his peni?

 

I'm not sure, al long as the Dark Side finally wins...

Well it's only a film.

 

Fucking 9 movies...how did it not happen at least once in that time.

 

Seeing as planet Earth is slowly becoming the Death Star, it would seem appropriate.

 

These box office figures paint a false picture which is a result of cinemas moving over to digital projection.
In the past, each copy of the film cost £1000 to print (£5000.for 70mm) which meant that openings were staggered across the country as the prints were transferred. Today a film can open nationwide on the same week end.
The real test will be the gross takings for the first 12 months.

 

It's a good escape movie and really entertaining. My only complaint was how the empire unrealistically waited so long to destroy the rebel fleet. I'm planning on seeing it again on Imax.

 

I dont think I realized until this movie how much my love for the original trilogy had to do with Harrison Ford

At the risk of sounding like an old fuddy duddy stuck in his youth, hollywood doesnt seem to have found in the last 20 years a bankable action star the calibre of Clint or Arnie or Ford. The Rock is no Arnie and Statham or Vin Diesel certainly aint no Clint.

Yeah good film, but without Ford carrying at least half of it, it was a curious feeling

 

Also, got to say, expected more from the guy that made Looper, it was good, but it wasnt knock your socks off trippy

 

My thoughts exactly about Mark Hamill.
Maybe practicing with cartoon voicing helped him hone his craft. Or maybe luke just acts like someone who can act in his old age.

 

Well I saw it and I thoroughly enjoyed it although midway into the movie it did seem to drag on a bit

 

I loved it, seriously enjoyed it, better than the other recent installments to the saga. Just wish they made Luke Skywalker more of a stronger character though, and I mean in all the movies in the past as well. He's the son of Darth Vader, so he should be a total bad ass. To me, he never got past the farm boy from Tatoonie image.

 

Haven't seen it yet but some people I know went to see it yesterday. Mixed opinions unfortunately
One loved it
one thought it was OK
two found it boring in bits
And the biggest star wars fan hated it
