Half in the Bag: The Last Last Jedi Review

Rich nails it. This is the dirty secret of Star Wars: The first movie was a lucky fluke hit (mostly because the people around George saved the movie from George). Empire was a great movie. Everything else in the series has just been ok, because the whole series is really just ok.

Worst movie ibhave ever seen in theaters.... And i watched Bruno

six years later and film twitter is trying to convince people that this movie was actually novel and a masterpiece. just like prequel fans were doing ten years ago. it's like poetry

guy in the green shirt has the voice of a woman.

This isn't cannon... because Rich didn't say his whole name

Mike atleast tries to be fair and reasons things out; the other two jokers are just there to be Statler and Waldorf.

I hope Rey is related to Nute Gunray

Jarring, inappropriate one-liner jokes - also known as "Joss Whedon syndrome". Oh no, we can't have drama and tension in sci-fi fantasy stories. Best undercut it all with nudge nudge, wink wink snark and irony. Wouldn't want anyone to think you actually cared about what you were doing, would we?
Apart from that, I actually enjoyed the Last Jedi the first time out, and I still liked it when I recently rewatched it. Sure, there's too much stupid comedy and the the heavy-handed political allegories are horribly out of place in what is essentially a silly adventure movie (oooooh, look at all the terrible greedy capitalists in the casino - they don't care about the poor...), but it didn't play it safe, and its failures were not for lack of trying.
It's fucking Citizen Kane compared to any of the prequel movies. Not a very high bar, I'll grant you, but still...

I will say, rich looks quite handsome in his outfit of muted greens and even more muted greens.

I'll be honest I recorded "sounds like a snake it's a mistake " with my phone and relentlessly sent it via tex5 to everyone I know and I didn't pay anything to use that

Writing 101 DO NOT BUILD YOUR CHARACTERS OR MAKE ANY RATIONAL SENSE

In a galaxy far far away there's woke

This didn't age well.
Meaning star wars in general...

every time i watch a review from you guys all i can think is 'the fat one's watching the little one?'

and then on starwars or spiderpig things they get an extra fat one to supervise the whole thing.

imagining The Lighthouse but with Luke and ghost Yoda
Willem Dafoe in Yoda costume: Me cooking you like, hohoo! Don't yee?

I missed JarJar.

Haven't seen this video since it came out. I can't believe it's been almost 6 years. The Last Jedi has got to be the worst big budget movie ever made???? I think it is. Cause it utterly ruined star wars. That's when the downfall began. Everything after it was just a reactionary to the Last Jedi. Despite it being kinda average, I thought there was potential With what The Force Awakens setup. But the Last Jedi killed everything. Ray's family. Snoke is nobody. The force is fucked. Luke is lame. All the hilarious bullshit. The Last Jedi is almost made like it's an epic troll by Rian Johnson..... You kinda wonder if he really was just trollololololing the whole thing. It's an insane awful film. It ruined perhaps the greatest cinematic fantasy IP in movie history. For that it has to be remembered.


It's basically the Mass Effect Andromeda or Battlefield 2042 of Star Wars. Either killing or forever maiming said IP.

And because it's Star Wars a literal cultural phenomena and watershed of blockbuster cinema it makes The Last Jedi one of the most egregious films ever made. Truly horrendously amazing.

I use this video as cheap therapy. 🎉

HAVE YOU SEEN STAR WARS!!!!!!!!!?

The background music is hysterical

All these movies are horseshit

"noone is Mary Sue here"

<Rey casually triple-kill TIE fighters with one shot first or second time she ever sat in gunners seat>
Sure Jay, sure.

RLM can be such hypocritical asshats XD They made series of videos bitching that picard is wrong, this wasn't how he was in the series. But fuck it when Luke has absolutely abysmal portrayal xD

nah, luke isn't some crabby jerk. it's not in his character, rich.

This review makes it seem like Star Wars conventions should be like political rallies, but it has that reversed. Fandoms (aka fanatics) should be allowed to geek out about media. Political rallies should not feel like fanboys geeking out over fictional universes or be that rabid.

This movie needs a Throne room Big reveal, that gives meaning to all this. Like 1- Kylo try to kill Snoke and fail because Snoke was more powerful than he thougth and thats why Kylo was serving him, to find the chance of doing that. But Snoke stop him and atacó Rei and it is a Big figth that Kylo and rei lose. Snoke push Rei trough a pit and Kylo jump to save her, (maybe Lukes ghost save them), so in the Last movie they need to train together to defeat him, find a new Jedi or something. Or 2- Kylo kills Snoke and its revealed that Kylo is faking being weak, and is possesed by a higher entity. They figth and Rei lose, so now she have to train to conect with Kylo that have to figth the entity from within while Rei figth it from the outside in the next movie.

They say. Egh it isnt that bad. Followed by 1 hour of nothing but criticism. RLM it is that bad.

Rian didn't put Star Wars in a grave. He just dug it.

Personally I think this film is terrible and mean spirited and screams of hubris of one person. It seems to go out it’s way to break any lore previously set up, stupid messages (like people need to blindly follow orders and capitalism is wrong), destroys any of the mystery boxes set up from the previous film and gives the middle finger to fans. Literally the worse film I have ever seen at the cinema, years later and I still want my money back.

Ryan Johnson being the guy to write the most controversial Star Wars is so fitting considering he also wrote the most controversial Breaking Bad episode, ‘The Fly’. I fucking hate that bottle episode by the way.

I wish they would revisit this movie and give it more of a chance, not great Rian Johnson like he’s not a good filmmaker.

With Rian Johnson going on to do Knives Out and Glass Onion, the problem with TLJ is obvious - he was the wrong director for the wrong IP. He likes to incorporate subversive element in his movies and it just didn't work in Star Wars, at all, in any way, with the end result being arguably one of the worst movies ever made.

But he's genuinely not an awful director. TLJ was ironically Johnson's 'Howard the Duck'.

You know I hated RLM for years because of out-of-context clips from this. Only to find out that they really were pretty reasonable

Yep, The Last Jedi was the film that destroyed the Star Wars Franchise forever and I hated The Last Jedi from start to finish. The Last Jedi is the absolute worst Star Wars film ever made by Rian Johnson, Luke Skywalker acted like a grumpy hermit, and The Last Jedi was a terrible rehash of 1980's The Empire Strikes Back.
The Last Jedi is just as awful as Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I also never liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull apart from the good performances from Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf, and I hope that The Dial of Destiny won't be as bad as The Last Jedi and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Gaaaarbaaaaage! ITS GARBAGE!
...garbaaaaage (whispering).

In my top ten of worst movies I have ever seen.

My only thought on Last Jedi for the past few years has been something Mike said. “IT BROKE NEW GROUND!”

"In theory i like a lot of what he was trying to do with this movie, in execution it doesn't work" absolutely spot on Jay. You give this script to a better director who's style suits the tone of the Star Wars universe and this could have been decent. What we ended up with felt like a Spaceballs parody

Biggest borg cube ever hidden in Jupiter spot transmitting death ray. C'mon people!

God, imagine if they had made a KoToR movie instead of this retarded postmodern empty mess

Looper - a poor man's Time Cop.

Total shit. Worst fucking Star Wars movie ever made. The Fuckin Holliday special was better. Fucking shit. Fuck Johnson and fuck this dogshit movie.

;;;;;;;;;

Skål and År and Fred(Cheers and Live long and Prosper) to David and all of y'all 🖖🙂
