I’m thinking Rey’s parents reveal. Could also be the reveal of whether Luke and/or Rey goes over to the dark side (that's been hinted at for both).

Deranged Rhino Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 First reviews are trickling in and they're mixed... (putting the quotes in spoiler tag - but nothing is revealed) As it turns out, although “The Last Jedi” meets a relatively high standard for franchise filmmaking, Johnson’s effort is ultimately a disappointment. If anything, it demonstrates just how effective supervising producer Kathleen Kennedy and the forces that oversee this now Disney-owned property are at molding their individual directors’ visions into supporting a unified corporate aesthetic — a process that chewed up and spat out helmers such as Colin Trevorrow, Gareth Edwards, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. But Johnson was either strong enough or weak enough to adapt to such pressures, and the result is the longest and least essential chapter in the series. That doesn’t mean it’s not entertaining. Rather, despite the success of “The Last Jedi” at supplying jaw-dropping visuals and a hall-of-fame-worthy lightsaber battle, audiences could presumably skip this film and show up for Episode IX without experiencing the slightest confusion as to what happened in the interim. It’s as if Johnson’s assignment was to extend the franchise without changing anything fundamental, which is closer to the way classic television and vintage James Bond movies operate than anything George Lucas ever served up. http://variety.com/2017/film/reviews/star-wars-the-last-jedi-review-rian-johnson-1202635597/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Ew... that's not a good reaction. The progression of Rey and the reveal of her backstory/Kylo's story wasn't enough? Are the side characters really bad? The visuals aren't good?? The trailers certainly look fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I'm going to see it at 11:00 PM and cannot wait! It currently has a 86% on Metacritic (http://www.metacritic.com/movie/star-wars-episode-viii---the-last-jedi?ref=hp) and a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/star_wars_the_last_jedi). The previous scores for Star Wars movies were: 1. Phantom Menace: 51% (Meta) & 55% (RT) 2. Attack of the Clones: 54% (Meta) & 66% (RT) 3. Revenge of the Sith: 68% (Meta) & 79% (RT) 4. A New Hope: 92% (Meta) & 93% (RT) 5. Empire Strikes Back: 81% (Meta) & 94% (RT) 6. Return of the Jedi: 53% (Meta..wow) & 80% (RT) 7. Force Awakens: 81% (Meta) & 93% (RT) 8. Rogue One: 65% (Meta) & 85% (RT) This would make Last Jedi the 2nd highest rated Star Wars on Metacritic & tied for 1st with Empire Strikes Back on Rotten Tomatoes. It's crazy though to think that Return of the Jedi had such mixed reception that it's rated as the 2nd lowest SW's movie on Metacritic at 53%, just slightly above Phantom Menace & 1 point below Attack of the Clones. IMO, I'd rank the movies: 1. Empire Strikes Back 2. A New Hope 3. Revenge of the Sith 4. Return of the Jedi 5. Force Awakens 6. Rogue One 7. Attack of the Clones 8. Phantom Menace And I really don't find Rogue One bad or Force Awakens bad at all (I know it's cool to hate on FA as being a rehashed A New Hope), but they're just not quite as good as the ones I put above. However, they're not NEARLY as bad as the bottom 2 either. Anyway, I'm super excited to see it tonight, as the spoiler-free reviews have all said it's the first Star Wars movie to take serious risks to the franchise in decades, and that the last Act is phenomenal. Anyway, as Jedi Master Gandalf always said - "Live long & prosper!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
