Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi [Blu-ray]

This is an excellent addition to the Star Wars saga. This continues the stories of some of the most loved characters as well as those of newer characters and brand new ones as well. There will always be criticism no matter what but in a house of Star Wars fans (both young and old) it was anticipated and did not disappoint. Highly recommend watching the bonus features and deleted scenes. There was so much filmed for this movie that quite a bit was cut and never made the actual movie. There’s also a character with an alternative option for their death there as well. So the movie is great - it gets 5 stars from us - however Amazon on this occasion would get 0 if possible!!! As many Star Wars fans did, we preordered this pretty early on. Our children were literally counting down the days to its release and arrival, knowing they’d be one of the first to receive it as it was preordered. To add to their excitement it would be arriving over the Easter School holidays. So the arrival day was nominated as their Star Wars family movie day and we were all set, all we needed was the movie! The night before it was due to arrive we received a message saying it had been dispatched, excitement was building. First thing in the morning the kids were up and waiting for it’s arrival, knowing full well though as with every delivery, it could actually come any time that day. Early on the message came that it was with the courier and out for delivery. So they waited. Lunch time came, still waiting. Late afternoon, still waiting. It was due to be delivered by 6 so we knew it couldn’t be much longer, anticipation was very high by now. Then we received a message saying the item would no longer be delivered on this day and would be delivered tomorrow instead. I can not even tell you the sheer disappointment in our home. They went straight out to the shops and purchased it there. The courier was not overly bothered when contacted. It did arrive the next day by then it was obviously no longer needed. The whole point of preordering an item like this is to be among the first to receive it. We then cancelled our other dvd on preorder as it’s a safer bet to just go to the shops for it. We love Amazon. We love prime and how quickly Amazon delivers items and 99% of the time they do come as expected. But unfortunately on the time they didn’t keep to it, it did actually ruin a fun family day planned.

I like the film

Love star wars

The movie connects well with the last instalment - Force Awakens. We see completion of Kylo Ren’s journey and a clear indication of what role he would be playing in the forthcoming Star Wars XI. I am in tune with mixed review the movie got and my take on why many Amazon customers love and disliked Last Jedi. I also disliked it when I watched in the cinema hall. First what I liked about the plot and characters. The best part for me was the glimpses of inner world of some of the characters - Kylo's inner struggle, Rey's unconscious quest or her lost childhood and parents; we may see more of her story in the next instalment. The film continues the story of Luke Skywalker that started way back in seventies and looks into timeless human struggle “who I am vs. who I am expected to be.” Even in the first two Star Wars films, emotionally I connected with Han Solo more than Luke. In my early youth in seventies, I liked the "couldn't care less" Han, more than Luke. Giving some concession to my bias toward Han, Luke looked more like a person on whom greatness has been thrust. It became clearer in Empire Strikes Back when Master Yoda visibly expresses his frustration at Luke's inability let go of his fears while being trained as Jedi master by Yoda. One of the best parts of Star Wars saga is the way Luke's character has been developed. In the current film under review his frank admission "I was weak, unwise" rings true and I felt touched. His continued preoccupation with his guilt at some of his deeds and obsessively clinging to it has been powerfully portrayed by Mark Hamill. His dialogue with Master Yoda was, for me, the highest point of the film. Yoda's well-timed and delivered rebuke to Luke which points out to him that he needs to go beyond his intellectual understanding of Jedi wisdom, be in touch with what is unfolding in the "here and now".... takes the movie to a different level all together. All this of course, on my second viewing of Last Jedi on the DVD! What truly I found boring is the entire escapade in search of the master code breaker, according to me, is the weakest part of the film. It comes across as a patch work done with the intention to give footage to Finn (John Boyega) and Rose (Kelly Marie Tran) - it is also rather stretched. This is what has contributed to the length of the film. It could have done with some tighter editing. Barring, this part, Star Wars - The Last Jedi is keeping in tradition with the Star Wars franchise and enjoyable.

PLOT... With the destruction of the Republic, the evil First Order reigns. Now, Supreme Leader Snoke looks to crush what's left of the Resistance and cement his grip on the galaxy. But hope survives: Rey has found Luke Skywalker, a legendary Jedi Master who can change the tide of war. I personally love this new trilogy and the direction in which its going, the story for last Jedi was indeed very twisted and surprising in many ways with slight twists that were unexpected but not really questionable, you just go with the flow with star wars times have changed and anything can happen!! The cast is great again with familiar faces returning from the original trilogy, its great to see them get a good send off as they are leaving the beloved series, the new cast is great Daisy Ridley is a fantastic new lead as Rey, her character has developed much since the last movie, as has Kylo Ren whom I felt was a much better villain this time round! The rest of the cast is good too, The special effects are unquestionable as usual, lots of great practical and CGI effects, lots of things to look out for in the background as usual, the soundtrack of course is amazing, cant wait for part 9, for me Disney has produced some quality Star wars!!! keep them coming! The Blu-ray looks great in HD Features are plentiful with lots of featurettes and 14 deleted scenes, audio commentary. Region FREE ABC, Running time 2hrs 32mins, 2017. Audio: English, French, Hindi, English audio described. Subtitles: English for hearing impaired, Arabic, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, French. Comes in a nice slipcase with great looking art, and on the Blu-ray cover too (different art)

Now there are alot of anti last jedi fanatics out there and I think there is no doubt on second viewing after seeing at cinema that these so called star wars fans are utterly utterly incorrect. On the back of recent new outings, the excellent force awakens and the incredible rogue one, I'd say last jedi is a wonderful next step. The direction is fantastic, design of new creatures memorable and the surprises especially on first viewing totally spellbinding. Me and my 7 year old were transfixed at the big screen and we both did a couple of wows at each other during key scenes. For me last jedi is a triumph. As far as second more careful critical viewing experience goes....I forced myself to be a tad less excited....on small screen the drama doesn't shimmer to the same level when you watch the film in a critical way......my only other real criticism perhaps would be last jedi does jump around at the end.....leaving narrative spaces that are slightly too jumpy....wanting the audience to fill in the gaps....e.g ray suddenly back on board the falcon after the ren fight. Other than that this it is still fantastically well acted and produced film history that for me gels flawlessly with star wars history in surprising but great ways and cannot wait for the next films. And yes next time will watch this film the usual adoring escapist star wars fan way.....because I can see there is a lot to love here. Brilliant.

When I first saw The Last Jedi at the cinema, I was a little unsure what I thought about it. Having seen it a number of times now, I’m definitely a big fan of it! Yes, it may have fallen a little short of my own personal wishes for the direction of the sequel trilogy, and yes one of my most beloved characters in the saga was very different to what I had envisioned, but Rian Johnson was not making the movie for me. Instead he crafted a story from his own personal vision and experience with Star Wars. The Last Jedi is a beautiful movie, made even more stunning in all its 4K glory. Rian Johnson is a fantastic director. There are so many shots in the movie that are visually delighting. The story is unexpected, the script is really solid, and the action sequences are gripping. Yes, there are plot holes here and there, but with a Star Wars movies I’m not hoping for a water tight plot. I want to be taken away to a galaxy far, far away for a couple of hours and enjoy the ride. Rian Johnson absolutely nailed that. Looking forward to IX!

As someone who sat as a 10 year old and followed the saga since, you can only say this film is a disappointment. It could be one of the greats, but some strange decisions make it a "seat fidget-er", one of those films where in some sequences you really do wonder why they bothered filming them. There is often simply no excitement in certain parts, just stodgy slow time fillers. Slight spoilers ahead......... The biggest issue is the misuse of John Boyega as Finn, who basically becomes a side character running round with the instantly forgettable "Rose" - a new and utterly pointless introduction. Yes, I get it you need an Asian character in films today to sell to the massive Chinese market, but at least give them something to do or a reason to be in the film. They go off to find a "Code Breaker" to get a code to stop the First Order tracking the Rebels IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CHASE - and then fail, get mislead, have a pointless sojourn to a "casino" planet (the old failing of Lucas where one planet does one thing - the Forest Moon of Endor, the planet that is an entire city etc etc). When they are betrayed again, and therefore caught again, the Rebels basically escape WITHOUT NEEDING THE CODE they have just wasted ages trying to crack.......... You read that the director Johnson had no idea what JJ Abrams plans were for the 2nd and 3rd films and went his own way. Oh dear. Even Mark Hamill told him everything he planned for Luke went against what he knew of the character, and whereas with Force Awakens, Abrams flicked every chord that made you love Star Wars, Johnson seems to take the toy box, ignore the "path" and go his own way. The film in essence steals parts (almost scene for scene) from Empire and Jedi, but fails to improve or even pay homage in the right way. I won't give away any of the biggest spoilers as I waited for the Blu Ray release to see this film - I just dislike going to the cinema nowadays. However there are several big OMG moments that lift the film and give you some hope Abrams will pick it back up for the next one. Johnson meanwhile was given his own "trilogy" to develop away from the current stories and you can only wonder why, He "Injected" a comedy into this film that jars really badly. Had he gone the full way with it like Thor 3, fine, but it just pops up out of context and has you thinking "Is that a joke?" I think this may either grow on me in time, or may be like the Prequels - disappointments on first viewing and now gathering dust on the DVD shelf (never even bothered upgrading them to Blu Ray!)

El envío llegó rápidamente y bien embalado. Me cogí la edición inglesa porque era más barata que la edición castellana. Pude comprobar por la foto de la contraportada, que llevaba audio y subtítulos en castellano, pero no lo he podido confirmar hasta que no la he recibido. Lleva el audio en castellano de la versión para cines. Si te da igual que la carátula esté en inglés...es una buena opción.

Para los fanáticos de star wars, ésta es una excelente película con sonido e imagen espectaculares! Vale la pena tenerla en la colección!

La mejor película de la última trilogía de Star Wars. La edición es de primera, con una calidad de imagen a la altura (HDR), y una banda sonora original en Dolby Atmos que te sumerge en la película. Vuelve a ver a Luke Skywalker despedirse de la manera jedi, como se merece.

Pour les fans, c'est le meilleur mais il est parfois difficile à trouver

Tudo ok.
