Ijust watched Star Wars: The Last Jedi at Waterloo’s BFI IMAX; what a top movie. Job well done, Mr. Johnson! However, I did feel proper sorry for
poor old General Hux, surely one of the most openly abused employees in the galaxy. The poor fella was viciously slapped, put in a Force choke-hold and bodily thrown around his office, all in direct violation of his basic human rights within the workplace. If I was Mr. Hux, I would seek legal advice, put a bloody great claim in and then retire to some nice quiet planet on my gains from winning an open-and-shut constructive dismissal case. phIL SLOAN, bEXLEY
Why is it some movies require a second viewing before you can decide how much you enjoyed them, or where they rate among others in the franchise? Take The Last Jedi, for example. I know I enjoyed it. But I can’t decide whether I enjoyed it more than Episode IV or VII. The Empire Strikes Back is safe. Without wishing to give spoilers, I’ll simply say the ending has me undecided. Will it go down as classic, or as a missed opportunity? Only repeat viewings will tell. On another note, did anyone else think poor Finn’s story arc was pointless? Some prequel-CGI crept in too… too much, or just right? RuSS tRIbE, FAREhAM
I’m sure you have received many rants about The Last Jedi and, yes, this is another. But Star Wars fan (which I still am but starting to question it) or not… this film is just bad! Primarily, “WTF’s going on here?” As part of a continuing story, it shits over everything set up prior to it. Is it visually spectacular? Nothing we haven’t seen before! Is there ANYTHING good to say? Ade Edmonson is in it!! That’s it!! So to summarise… I currently still look forward to and enjoy my monthly copy of Total Film. Please, PLEASE make the right call on this to help me keep the faith. JIM INGRAM, ANtRIM
