I recently saw a couple of movies that I enjoyed to varying degrees. The movies were Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
I thoroughly loved Guardians 2. From start to finish I thought that it was great. I liked it even better than the first movie. It has it all: action, love, laughter, friendship, family and family issues, heartache, self-doubt, betrayal, devotion, and Stan Lee (maybe I should have written Howard the Duck???). The film takes you on a wild roller coaster ride of emotions. Someone that you hated a few scenes ago is now a character that you find endearing. Great film! I can't say enough good things about it!
The Last Jedi might be the last Star Wars movie that I ever go to see. YAWN!!!!!! The film seemed to drag on forever. It took like 10 seconds to kill Snoke. Phasma's gone is a duel with Finn (WHAT?!). And we can't forget a nearly dead flying Princess Leia. COME ON!!!
There's a terrible scene in a casino. There's a terrible scene with a terrible Yoda (the CGI throughout was bad). There are too many scenes with Kylo Ren (the poor man's Vader). There are some great scenes with the characters: Rey, Rose, and DJ, unfortunatetly very few of them.
I've been there since the beginning. We all know some movies have been better than others and some characters as well. As much as I loved Rogue One is as much as I disliked The Last Jedi. I hope that the Force is strong with the creators of the next movie. Remember, folks at Disney, Yoda's words: Do or do not. There is no try!
