Star Wars movies tournament: The Last Jedi

The final movie.





My personal, simplified interpretation of the scale below, in spoilertag.

Spoiler:

I'll honestly admit that I think it's unfair to rate it below 3/10. The storytelling is absolutely terrible, character development is out of the window, basically anything regarding the script is the worst garbage I have seen in larger SW works, but it's not a total failure in all aspects. It's obviously a bad movie, the storytelling disqualifies it, just like a movie can be wonderful in most aspects, but with the camera work making it literally painful to watch, it can't be saved. What I mean by that is - it's obvious that if one aspect of the movie is terrible enough, the work itself is just rendered garbage, just like a person with perfect health and diet is still disabled if he's literally missing a leg. This movie is definitely missing a leg in the script department.

However, you can't deny the music is still wonderful - it's John Williams and SW, period. Acting from at least half of the cast is great, you can't really deny that. The special effects are still obviously wonderful, the budget does it for you. Basically everything regarding visual arts is magnificent. This movie is just a shitty story, with terribly written characters, awful pacing, giant logic holes, bad plot construction, holes between this installment and the other trilogies, etc.

So I'm gonna rate 3/10.

.01/10

1/10

The final movie.

Nah, there's still the Holiday Special, the Battle for Endor, and the Caravan of Courage. If The Clone Wars movie counts, those should too.

I plan to put them at bonus rounds, since they weren't made for theatrical releases iirc, only for TV.

Aside from special effects, which I really don’t care about, I found this by far the worst of SW movies.

It was a bad movie. No idea why critics were raving about it. It's a 4/10, and that's being generous

2/10, every bit as bad as TFA, maybe even worse.

1/10. Worst Star Wars movie by far.

2/10 mainly due to the damage it had on the Star Wars saga. If legacy didn't matter, it would be like a 3.5/10. There was some atrocious pacing, irrelevant side plots taking up like 1/3rd of the film, bizarre plot holes (the entire galaxy has fallen in like 3 days? The Rebellion fought the Empire off for decades, created a New Republic...then in 3 days they all surrender except like 300 people?), random pointless deaths/wastes of great characters (e.g. Ackbar), and the "that's how we're going to win..." scene that is perhaps the worst in the saga. That's enough for the 3.5/10, and then the handling of Luke Skywalker, the New Republic, and the New Jedi Order lower it to a 2/10, along with the lack of any sort of remaining buildup for the closing movie (which is probably going to negate most of TLJ anyway since TLJ did nothing constructive to build on). It probably can't be a 1/10 since that would imply that there isn't an obvious way for the movie to be worse, and that's clearly not true.

So far we have 3,06/10 average. It's the lowest of them all by far, immensely at that, lol.

Love how most think it's a 1/10 lol

Solo should have been the lowest, but TLJ sucked regardless lol.

Solo was actually quite good tbh, my favourite so far of the new canon films

One day left!

5/10 as far as standalone films go, but about 3 or 4/10 as far as Star Wars goes. Contrived plot, so many edgy plot twists you could cut yourself on it, inconsistent storytelling, and a disrespectful approach to things a lot of people remember about Star Wars, e.g. Anakin's lightsaber. Honestly, Rian Johnson's arrogance is the reason my opinion of the film has gone down from maybe a 5 or 6 to a 3 or 4.

Let's get this below a 3/10

I wonder what Ant thought of it

I believe he thinks it's one of the top 10 movies in the history of cinema.

3/10.

1/10, horrible SW movie.
