Compared to watching Marvel DC movies, Star Wars may have a more "serious" appeal. In the case of both praise and criticism, Star Wars 8 will only make me curious.
As a result, this movie, which lasted more than 150 minutes, gave me mixed feelings. The plot of Star Wars is generally not complicated. Simply put, the "First Order" of the New Empire chased the Rebel "Resistance Organization" miserably. Rey went to the legendary Jedi Master Luke for help, Finn, Bo and others. While fighting with Princess Leia, Kailuo Ren continued to struggle.
In terms of impressions, there are a few scenes that are quite dazzling, intently watching, using more advanced special effects to create scenes that are difficult for the model, the opening bombing of the dreadnought, the more dazzling super-light speed impact, and the rebels taking old equipment at the end. The old stuff of the war empire-but if you think about it, the special effects of the 70s and 80s models seem to be no less inferior, and the encounter in the prequel "Rogue One" seems more vivid; there are also several duels, the bad boy Ben and Master Lu K’s duel has the feeling of a duel between Eastern martial arts and swordsmen; there is also a grotesque Lucasian cult-style casino in the middle, a variety of new "magic animals", and many old faces. It can be said that various Star Wars elements are also assembled, but why does it still feel a little awkward?
One problem may be that the set is long, with special effects bombardment, and watching the 3D version is even more fatigued, but compared to the awe and meaning that "Blade Runner 2049" brings, "Most" seems to be confusing.
Let’s review the restarted movie first: JJ, the guy who quit from "Star Trek" directed "The Force Awakens". Although it has awakened a lot of Star Wars fans’ sleeping Star Wars memories, it is undeniable that this is for "New Hope". A re-enactment of "Rogue One"; the legendary "Rogue One" speaks a sentence in the trapezoidal subtitles lively and magnificently, witnessing the conviction of the little ones in the glimpses of the big ones. The first two games have their own characteristics. Ryan, who was born in a small production, knew that JJ's restart version was too conservative and obviously couldn't make another opportunistic. After gaining the authority of director (he said that the story group let him play), he seemed to let himself go, and understood the truth of "big break and big stand". Even though he used all kinds of Star Wars elements skillfully, he didn't seem to understand what he was going to shoot, so many plots were not considered.
I think Brother Driver is very cute in other movies, but it is still difficult to accept Kailuo (for this reason, a sleek Kailuo coat is also shelved); he really wants to get closer to the extremely successful and popular villain Vader ( Actually Vinda may not be the villain), but it is more difficult to understand: his brain has not grown much, his temper has become more violent. After stabbing his dad, he betrayed his boss, and even wanted to cut off his uncle and teacher; why he fell into On the dark side, the words are vague, and not as convincing as Anakin's depravity; his inner struggle is also untenable, so it is better to be a purely evil rebellious youth. By the way, snooker, the faction is the same as the Sith Emperor, with such a powerful force, but it is cut in the middle of the literal meaning? The guards under his men are fancy-looking, and can't stand the protagonist.
Bo is very skillful in 7 and showed off his flying skills at the beginning, but he has very few scenes. At most, he has become more rational than before, but is he so impatient in 7? A group of Stormtroopers are generally stupid, but the Stormtrooper Finn, who was discovered by his conscience, was able to fight and was funny. He knew the secrets of the first order ship and could single-handedly challenge Captain Fasma. But his personal mission. Is it slipping out for vacation in battle? Or do you know people who are sinister and can't trust others (also blame them for not insisting on finding recommended characters)? Don't look at him playing lively, it will be lively. Rey was still searching for her own life experience, but Kailo said happily, "You are a commoner", overturning some long-awaited speculations. She should be born lower than "Son of the Force" Anakin, what if she is not from the Skywalker family?
The image of the old man is even harder to say. In 7, Han fell into the abyss really amazing, can't bear to look back. Ms. Fisher has returned to the original force, and perhaps it is more reasonable to say goodbye on the screen like Spock, and to pass on the fire to the next generation is a more reasonable tribute. But Ryan returned as planned. In the main story, she is a strong and charming woman, 7 is an elegant and wise elder, but now...
Master Luke has the most controversy. Hamill directly accused in the interview that this was not the Luke he had portrayed (but later expressed support for their arrangement on Twitter, probably because there was nothing wrong with him). At the end of 7, when the master living in a desert island took off his hood, the vicissitudes of life and determination should bring tears to the fans' eyes. However, in contrast, it is more reasonable, or artistic conception, that Lucas arranged for Obi-Wan and Yoda to retreat in the main story. The retreat of the two masters may be repentance or boredom; Obi-Wan’s comeback is for the sake of younger generations, for atonement, or because of fate; Yoda did not come back, but further guided Luke in the retreat to help him become real Jedi. The prequel somewhat weakened the legendary atmosphere of the mysterious master in the two of them (it is also possible that Ivan is not as good as Sir Guinness). And Master Luke, obviously wants to learn from his predecessors, but Gui, the strongest Jedi who defeated Vinda, behaved like step by step from a legend, and he did not act like his predecessors. The worst thing is that I want to kill Ben while he is sleeping, because I can't control the dark side of Ben! It seems that Master Luke is not confident in his teaching standards, but this seems to be the fuse that sparked the rebellion. Obi-Wan had a fair duel with Anakin who couldn't persuade him to come back, but Luke...obviously was not the work of the master. Yes, the force is a kind of balance. Luke will also have a dark side, which can also be filmed in movies, but at least it is reasonable! The "legendary" side of Obi-Wan and Yoda is at least supported, and Luke does not have the courage of his predecessors in this way.
Ryan also defended himself in the movie: Yoda appeared again, educate Luke as a teacher, let the younger generation surpass himself, the old classics can be put down, and so on. Yoda's point is quite reasonable, but the whole story is executed in a problematic way, like burning an old canon but failing to write a new chapter. Many ideas are stuffed in, but I can't figure out how to arrange it. I can only cover up the shortcomings with special effects and fights, and leave the problem to the next one to solve. The special effects of the main story are wonderful, but the special effects serve the bright and neat story. In this way, "Rogue One" is more authentic, absorbing many essences; while "The Last Jedi" is not a tiger.
(In addition, the star rating has been changed to three stars, I am sorry to hit it lower)
