Stars Wars The Last Jed - All about heroes and legends (may contain spoilers)
Fantasy Sci-fi adventure, which picks up directly from where 'The Force Awakens' ends. The film starts with the distinctive, unmistakable screen crawl and straight into a space battle action sequence.
Starring Daisy Ridley (Rey) and Adam Driver (Kylo). Made special by the last ever performance from Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), who gets more lines and more screen time than in 'The Force Awakens', although it would be impossible for him to get any less.
Rey is in search of Luke Skywalker, the Jedi master. She wants training in the ways of the force. However, Luke is a damaged man, he is reluctant to start with but agrees to provide three lessons, and that appears to be all it takes to be a Jedi Master. The middle (quite lengthy section) is slow with many interweaving plots, some come together at the end, some fail. At the end Luke reunites with the rebels and faces Kylo. Luke however is revealed to be a hologram projection, which kills him through exhaustion.
Every new Disney instalment has always been preceded by loads of hype and glowing reviews, and I anticipated something special, but surprisingly felt a little let down. My spontaneous reaction is that besides some new characters and new CGI creatures there was very little 'magic'.
There is nothing wrong with this film but nothing very special either, and it will make tons of cash for Disney. Don't bother with 3D, there's dark scenes an very little depth. The message in this film is all about heroes and legends.
6/10.
