 someone to show me my place in all this hey it's that time being guys for some this is the most anticipated film in the entire year was star wars the last jedi so what did i think about it well let's get into it my name is brennan Keith Avery and this is just my opinion hey guys thank you so much for tuning in to my opinion slash review for star wars the last jedi episode 8 i really do appreciate it but before we get into the review help your boy out by going ahead and clicking that subscribe button also click the bell so you'll be notified when i make uploads and also give me that thumbs up let's see if we can get this video to 100 likes so i was really looking forward to star wars the last jedi if you could possibly tell i mean pretty much everybody that's a film a movie geek was looking forward to this i wasn't looking forward to it as much as everybody else because why i am a star wars fan i am a casual star wars fan i am not a dial hard star wars fan and there's nothing wrong with it if you die hard i'm just you know letting you know before i give you my opinion my review my take i have seen all the star wars films i of course i saw the original trilogy back when i was in junior high then i saw the prequels as disappointed like most people and then i saw the force awakens and i like the force awakens but at the same time i was a little bit disappointed because i thought it copied a little bit more off of episode four a new hope i love rogue one that came out a year ago and now we have the last jedi episode eight and with the promotion materials and advertisements and trailers and stuff like that i wanted to go in fresh i only saw like the first two trailers and after that i didn't want to read any not read but see any more featurettes any more tv spots any more trailers anything like that i completely avoided all of them i'm filming this right now thursday night i did see it at seven o'clock and of course all the big people had saw the premiere this past saturday i looked at all those twitter reactions and that did get me excited but i didn't check out any reviews and i also didn't go to the press screening that was around the country on monday as well so really just those twitter reactions and then uh the first two trailers was pretty much all that you know i went in before i saw this movie and you know the movie is great i'll go ahead and get that out the way if you are a star wars fan i will say that you will be satisfied and one the first thing that i noticed that i really did like in this movie that really did appeal to me is of course in these star wars movies we have the you know in a galaxy far far away we have the opening crawl and of course this wouldn't be a star wars move without that but it's not just a crawl that i noticed that i like because that's been in previous films for some reason it just stood out to me that the aesthetic of the film the cinematography you know for some reason it just really stood out to me and didn't just seem all glossy like it did with the prequels that came out in the early like 99 and early 2000s like you can tell that this is a newer movie but at the same time they wanted to have that older feel like the original trilogy and that's just something that stood out to me at the very beginning of this movie that i really did appreciate of course i also liked uh well i don't want to say of course but i also really did i also really did enjoy uh majority of the characters and how the film picked up right where episode seven left off because if you know a lot of people were slightly disappointed with where they left uh where they left luke skywalker and ray at the very end because you know everybody's so excited we're getting a new star wars film after years and years and years and then we really don't get to see luke skywalker there is a lot of luke skywalker and it's played by mark hamill so you don't have to worry about that you know we get a bunch of new characters and we get old of course so what i i i what i liked about the story early on is how the story started started off so intense it picks up like i said right where the force awakens left off and then you have somewhat of a space battle and don't worry i'm not going to spoil this for you here but during this space battle the film goes back and for from the space battle and where everything is happening with fin and po dammin played by oscar isaac and kerry fisher and all that good stuff but then it jumps back and forth to where ray is with luke skywalker on that island where she's trying to get training and whatnot and it was just a great transition back and forth like during the first act of this whole entire movie i was not bored at all i was loving every moment of it eating all up like every line of dialogue every frame every shot i was like this is like the perfect star wars movie and i just really cannot wait to see how this ends and you know um something that turned me off early on was something that's pretty difficult to for me to that i think is difficult for filmmakers to pull off in the film is combining comedic moments or comedic elements at times of seriousness and there was a little joke that was kind of early on between two characters and while it was funny i did chuckle it kind of did dilute the seriousness of the scene and just kind of let you know you know where the stakes are i mean i like i said i did laugh but i kind of felt that they could have you know done away with that but the opening battle the opening action scene was very intense um it i'm not going to say who lived or who died or how much was you know death of destruction or either side or whatever but i was actually you know kind of clenching my fists and clenching my toes and i don't want to say at the edge of my seat because i was in a recliner but at the same time i was like oh snap like how is this going to end or whatever and this is just the first act of the movie you know so i really did like that so i really love what they did with mark hamill and lou skyward the very beginning of the movie i really like what they did with ray played by daisy really of the movie carrie fisher and po dammer played by oscar isaac i really do like all of that i love how they picked up where things will color in um in this movie i love that but a character that i was not a fan of pretty much the majority of the movie was fin um you know i was pretty disappointed by john boy agus character in this like they to me in my opinion i just kind of feel like the director and writer ryan johnson who did uh the brother's bloom and he also did looper looper is a great movie and he wrote and directed this i just kind of feel like he didn't have anything for fin to do and he just kind of ran out of ideas and just kind of just like you know made some type of subplot for fin's character because i just it was not the real fin's character he was at the very beginning but he kind of picked up more in the second act and the film kind of focused on him and to be honest with you guys i was bored out of my mind i lost complete interest in the film i was kind of turning on my seat just like okay where are we going with this this this whole plot device just kind of seems like it's just taking up runtime and i kind of wanted to get back to either uh either the first order the resistance or the rebellion and also what ray and luke were doing on the island but this little thing over here what fin was doing you know i was over it and there is another character that he was with by the name of rose played by kelly marie tan kelly marie tran and she did a great job in her role as well and i'm not gonna say fin didn't do a good job either i mean he did but i was just bored with the scenes you know that he was giving me or whatever i just kind of thought that whole thing was pointless and i wanted to see something else now um somebody that really impressed me a lot was snook i love snook played by gosh the the anti-circus or whatever snook was a complete badass you know there it was rumored that snook would be more powerful than dark vader uh than darth vader and also the emperor from the previous star wars films and he is by a long shot in my opinion i love every single iota of snook on screen like seriously the dude was not messing around you know he didn't have a like you know we never really got to see the emperor's face too much unless it was like a hologram back in the past so he had his cloak on and of course you know darth vader had his mask on the whole time you know during his trilogy and whatnot but no snook you get to see him you know in his in his glory or whatever in his throne and it's just nice not only is he nice but the whole set design was for snook was lovely and he's just someone not to be messed with or whatever like seriously he will force choke you he will hit you with a lightning ball he will do this he will do that he's just no one to be messed with and i actually i won't even say more than that because i don't want to spoil the film anymore so guys i really love most majority of the characters uh at the very beginning of the film i like the aesthetic of the film i like the score by john williams i love the very first act but the second act i was kind of bored but then we get to the end and you know the the ending was great i really did appreciate that in the trailers lou skywalker says this is not going to end the way you think it is and oh my god she could not be telling the truth anymore than that because there was so many twists and turns with the plot and the story that i did not see coming so i was like oh okay i didn't know it was going to go here i didn't know it was going to go there i thought i thought these characters are about to die and maybe they did die i thought these characters are going to escape and maybe they didn't escape or whatever because some of it it kind of seemed like it was going to be predictable in some instances but then no it didn't it wasn't predictable they kind of turn the hard right or hard left right at the last moment i was like okay wow you know i mean okay you know this is not turning out the way i thought it would i also want to talk about oscar eyes this character po dameron because he's the best pilot in the fleet or whatever you know he can be labeled as kind of just cocky a hero and this you know whatever he says he's going to do in goals but no it doesn't necessarily turn out that way for his character and his character did have some growth there was an arc to his character where he did learn a lot to where he is uh you know a good guy and you know you're on his side and for the most part he has good ideas and then normally work for him in his favor and the rest of the team but at the same time he really did have to learn something in this movie and to really humble himself or whatever and i really did appreciate that as well as far as the fighting is concerned of course we have you know battles on land we have some space battles i don't necessarily i mean you know i'm just gonna go ahead and say there is a there's a lightsaber battle in this movie or multiple and for the most part i was thrilled with that i did appreciate it and when it first popped on i was like oh okay i didn't know that you know they was going to combine the fighting this way or whatever you know it was nice we did kind of get to see some new weapons and i did like that but i will say guys while i did enjoy the film you know most of the film there were three characters so where i was disappointed with and how do i want to wear this without spoiling it i was just really disappointed with where their characters ended up in this movie i think that's the safe way to see it now i like the characters i love them to death in this movie that was great but you know when at the end of the movie i kind of said to myself okay i wanted a little bit more from this character i want a bit of the more from this character and a little bit more from this character you know and i'm slightly disappointed so guys i really did enjoy the film it's great i like this film more than star wars episode seven the force awakens but to be honest with you i do like rogue one better than the last jedi that's just my opinion i'm just being honest with you and i did want a little bit more i i i really did enjoy this film i am going to buy it on blu-ray or 4k when it is released a number of months from now but while i did enjoy it i am slightly disappointed if i had to rate star wars the last jedi out of a one out of ten i would give it an eight out of ten yes an eight out of ten by guys that is just my opinion
