Adam Driver gives a perfectly good performance, full of emotion beneath his eyes. Kylo Ren is the most intriguing character with plenty of internal conflict. It took nearly half the film's runtime to get going and become interesting. But, I can't shake off the fact that I was bored. Various memorable scenes, such as a cruiser lightspeeding into another ship, make for some general entertainment. Visually I cannot fault the effects that are used and also appreciated the use of puppets and animatronics, particularly the Porgs which are bound to make Disney a fortune. I have no doubt in my mind that Rian Johnson's directing style was glorious, in fact the technical aspects to The Last Jedi are outstanding. This episode is weighed down by underdeveloped characters, sluggish pacing and pivotal elements that are rushed. Where is the grandeur!? Where are the stakes!? Why am I not on the edge of my seat! No matter how aesthetically pleasing the visuals are, the constant feeding of nostalgia and the inclusions of a few memorable doesn't make a film great. That's pretty much as grand as this chapter gets. Meanwhile, Rey tries to convince Luke to help the rebels and train her in the Jedi religion. In this episode, the rebels attempt to flee from The First Order and it's up to Finn to retrieve someone to help them infiltrate their primary ship. This instalment has evidently, looking at aggregated scores, polarised viewers. There's more boldness in the Times New Roman font. I've seen words like risk-taking, bold and edgy being thrown around. I'm not exactly sure what everyone else watched, but this is certainly no masterpiece.
