Review of THE LAST JEDI (spoilers)

Masterpiece.

It won't be viewed that way now, but it will in maybe a few years time or more. It's very very far ahead of its time. It's like shawshank, rocketeer, hulk, loads of movies that nobody was ready for at the time... It's such an overwhelmingly great movie that no one can pinpoint what to feel about it.

It's a giant middle finger to JJ Abrams too.

I'm bold enough to say that. I mean, just look at how this thing takes a giant foul dump all over everything JJ was attempting to do with TFA.

I've been around a long time with star wars. It's been a bumpy ass ride. It's left me broken at times the intense passion we have for the franchise.

I'm exhausted by it and maybe star wars should have just died and stayed that way... But thank the maker this film came along out of all the bull shit we've been getting down the pipe.

This movie works. As what? As reviewers have stated a million times by now it doesn't answer the questions raised in TFA satisfactorily, kinda doesn't even care about TFA.

At its backbone this movie is a star wars fan making a star wars film with his teeth grit and full on boner for star wars on display. He doesn't give a rat's ass if you remember anything that happened in TFA the star wars rebels episode.

Back to making a hard tough balls star wars film... that's going to kick your ass.

Thank you for this Rian Johnson. He doesn't give a fuck, we're back to epic amazing star wars movies, fuck JJ Abrams and his pussy shit.

And the way he honors the Goddess Carrie Fisher is above and beyond brilliant. That alone would make the movie a masterpiece but it keeps bringing MORE genius to the table. More greatness, great lines, great acting, great moments that some how squeeze life into the limp nuts characters from TFA.

That's the flaw in the movie that it's being held back by TFA's shortcomings. If this son of a bitch made TFA, we would have something beyond amazing. No wonder they gave him his own trilogy. You bet your ass it's going to be something to behold if this is what he can do with JJ Abram's table scraps. All the reviewers wondering WHY Johnson is given a blank check to make his own movies has to realize Disney was probably blown away by how he managed to clean up JJ's mess so well.

Simply put, if you are a fan of the OT at all, this movie will kick your ass and make you believe a jedi can fly.

It's a massive love letter to star wars, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. It doesn't care what you think it SHOULD be. It's a self aware star wars love letter, full stop. And it works. It's fully aware YOU know they could have shot or written it differently but it doesn't give a fuck. It's about honoring Lucas' genius and for that it wins.

It so wins.

Yeah, I agree with so many reviewers, it's like this really was the last film in the series, but apparently we're going to get another. Likely going to be garbage if JJ gets his grubby dumbass hands on it. And lacking Fisher means it'll make no sense. Sadly we're in Empire Strikes Back land with this film. This will stand for all time as the best of the new trilogy.

It's like poetry.

It rhymes...
