Ultimately, though, its ballast lies in the relationship between Rey and Kylo Ren, whose mysterious mind-meld is fleshed out and deepened, its mysterious origins cleared up only slightly.

Ratings: 3.75/5 Review By: Ann Hornaday Site:NDTV If you’ve watched all the previous parts of the series, you don’t need a reason but if you’re new to this binge watch all the seven parts and watch this one the first thing you’re done with the rest.

It’s hardly surprising that he’s been entrusted with creating a new trilogy in the Star Wars universe. Johnson, whose previous writing/directing credits include smart indies like Brick and Looper, makes the transition to Blockbusterland with the ease of a pro.
The film is ultimately a triumph of inventiveness and unpredictability, and delivers jaw-dropping visual imagery of the kind that this franchise hasn’t seen.I’m going with a big four out of five for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Yet it’s seldom boring because the pace is brisk and Johnson brings a lightness of touch that feels entirely new. Star Wars: The Last Jedi does feel overlong, and there are flabby parts here and there. Ratings: 4/5 Review By: Rajeev Masand Site:CNNNews18
