First declare:
Movies are worth three stars at most, plus one star for fan filters, and four stars for the final chapter bonus. Most of the full text is a criticism of this movie. Those who were misled by my rating (if any) can withdraw.
I didn't like to write film reviews, but I can't get mad today. The article is very long, completely out of the complaints and disappointments of a slightly fundamentalist Star Wars fan.
Conclusion: Bad, not worthy of being the final chapter. After the excitement after reading it subsided, I roughly analyzed it and sorted out the five original sins for TRoS, in order of severity:
The first sin is to be conservative and reproduced. The colder the rice becomes more unpalatable as it is fried. In fact, it is not wrong to imitate Return of the Jedi. For such an important movie, it is expected that JJ would not dare to make substantial innovations. But not only did he fry the cold rice, he also fries the cold rice unpalatably. What is unpalatable in detail, let's demonstrate below.
The second crime, the plot is fragmentary, and the plot is rigid. The main line of the Star Wars series (at least the main story) has always been pure time linearity, and Star 9 is also similar. But the problem with Star 9 is that its scene switching is too lack of logic and excitement. All the plots are in the same mode, get a mission → go to a place → encounter a problem → appear a character to solve the problem → Cairo people somehow catch up with the heroine and fight with the heroine somehow, even though both sides can't kill and don't want to kill each other → The heroine always retreats inexplicably → go to the next place and repeat the same inexplicable plot... Exm, is this really boring, okay? ? ?
Sin three, the villain is low-minded, the old characters are purely emotional, and the characters are too facial. In fact, the facial makeup of the villains in the Star Wars series is a common problem, but! but! The whole ppt in Star 9 wanted to kill the heroine. What is your fleet doing? Is it true that feelings will not kill the heroine Star Destroyer? Cairo people are also, chasing the heroine from start to finish, and don't want to kill after chasing them. What kind of fun video chat does tm play? All day long, the heroine and the heroine, you are the villains, arrogant Sith, you want to conquer the dark lord of the galaxy, don't you always know to chase one person and kill it? Isn't Voldemort's lesson enough? (Speaking of Voldemort's ppt is really dead like Voldemort, even standing on the left side of Bodu) Look at our nostalgic protagonist group, except for showing a face, it has no special effect on the promotion of the plot. As for the newly-appeared characters at each check-in point, they appear on the scene like ddl to do tasks and cultivate feelings with the protagonist, and the character image is completely absent.
Sin four, too high demon, set a dog's blood. The Force Medical Force pulls the spacecraft The Force shields the spacecraft signals...it’s not impossible, but is it good to pursue the coordination of an official history movie? How simple is the original force of the prequel main story and the postcode 78, suddenly 9 is omnipotent and can even take five in a span of time? ? ? Is Rey suddenly able to Lightning Force? The Force Dual Body is a normal setting in comparison. The scene of the Sith Temple made me almost think I was in the Lord of the Rings universe. The essence of Star Wars is science fiction, not fantasy! The ppt resurrected its own fleet inexplicably and scared people to death, and it was so awesome to enlarge it easily. The external cheating finger is really cool! But the more powerful he is, the more absurd the protagonist will look when he finally defeats him. The overall setting, I personally think it is very EU, but it is very undocumented, especially undocumented movies.
The fifth crime is superficial intention and cliché themes. The theme of Star 9 is mainly the entanglement and reshaping of the heroine's self-cognition. To be honest, this entanglement is very naive and totally unreasonable. Star 8 is still red, and when it comes to Star 9, it suddenly becomes blackened, and is suddenly redeemed. And the most important thing is that in Return of the Jedi, it is the power of family and kindness that ultimately defeats the evil, not the protagonist looking up at the sky and suddenly having superpowers. Sorry JJ, this plot is really going to suck. The Star Wars series was originally not a serious movie, and everyone watching the Star Wars is just too happy. But at least, we will be touched by the family, friendship, mentorship, and sibling relationships. In 9, all I saw were groaning and open hanging, and the CP that didn't match the overall style of Star Wars at all.
Perhaps it is too demanding because of being a fan, or perhaps it is the aesthetic fatigue of the routines of the Star Wars series. When my emotional side was so excited at the end of the Star Wars series, the rational side always felt numb. After all, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. But in the end I have to say something fair, I really shouldn't scold TLJ.
The Nine Steps to Star Wars is now over. This is far from an excellent ending, but the only advantage may be that it is complete and complete. Anyway, after all, is the flesh and blood, no matter how harsh you scold, you will still use it twice, and push it whenever you want. Finally, at the end of the Skywalker saga, let us say the sacred word:
May the force be with you. Always.
