shapinglightWent to see The Last Jedi last night.
Really enjoyed it.
Slight spoilers behind cut.
Okay, it was maybe a little long and I have no idea what they're going to do about Princess Leia in the final movie, given that she's still alive at the end of this one, but other than that, I thought it was great and I don't really understand the backlash. I've heard one exists, but am not interested enough to do a lot of searching to discover the reasons for it.
However, I did read this article on Vox, which not only analyses the various complaints about the movie in what seems to me a pretty even-handed way, but also illustrates many of the reasons why I like it (and, incidentally, if not entirely relevantly to this post, explains why I prefer the LotR movies to the books).
Speaking of LotR, I was on my own on Tuesday evening for the last time before Christmas and took it into my head to watch the extended version of the final Hobbit movie. What a disappointment. Nothing else of any interest at all. Just lots and lots of extra fighting.
