Twenty-second of December

I wrote this on Facebook:

"So, I went and saw The Last Jedi with missus. Here are some thoughts.

It's entertaining. It's too long. It's funny. It has plot holes the size of some very large objects in space. It has glorious scenes. It has acting, both good and less good.

I liked them puffins, a lot. I was underwhelmed by Po. Servalan was magnificent. I didn't get the Casino-world. I was really positively surprised by the Reyna/Emo Ren chemistry. Why was Snore animated? Like, really, why?

And since this was more or less a copy of ESB, will episode IX be like TRotJ? I hope they keep them puffins as ewoks. And give Joonas more to do.

But in the end, I liked it. It was far superior to the remake of Star Wars, and I think I liked it more than RougeOne, which was as silly as SW-films are, but not very funny. On my list, it goes to 3rd. It's a good Star Wars movie, not a great scifi-film, but I'm happy that I've seen it.

Still, with this much money and resources available..."

Maybe more tomorrow (aka Today).

I too liked IIX. Was engulfed enough by it not to notice any plotholes. Liked old Luke a lot. Puffins left me more or less cold, but did like the crystal foxes. En extra thumbs up to the people behind the film for continuing to have a lot of women caracters and extras in every scene.

I loved the Servalan-vibe from vice-admiral Holdo, I loved Rose, and I loved the puffins. The jokey exchange in the beginning between Poe and General "Hug". But the thing I just can't get past Kylo Ren. I find him annoying, whiny and utterly without charisma. When the light side still has kick-ass heroes and heroines it is just distracting that their counterpart is this piece of nothing.
