To be honest, upon first viewing, 6.5/10
If not for the really really really good moments, some of the best in the saga, it would be an easy 3/10 - 5/10
It’s a very different movie, which itself is a strength, the way each OT film felt unique. But it makes it harder to compare them.
This is partly what I like about TLJ - there is a lot to take in from it - yet it is different to what has come before (in my humble opinion) - and will likely require a few more viewings for me 😃

9.5/10 on first view. needs more viewings
Needs more viewings? Not a lot of room for improvement is there? Sounds like you were pretty happy with it.
i need more viewings to be sure of that rating. worst case i could see it dropping to an 8, but i doubt it.
Ah, I see. For some reason I thought you were hoping to knock it up to a full 10/10.
I guess I’m the opposite. I usually start a little low with these films, then I hope to improve my rating after the second viewing.

At the moment, a hearty 10/10. The flaws people mention don’t bother me.
Not enough people read the EU.
I have to agree with the sentiment that The Last Jedi is on par with The Force Awakens with certain moments that are far superior.
I give TLJ an 87/100? Not like 85 is a B and 59 is an F, but more like if 5/10 is just okay. It’s not quite 9/10 as a Star Wars film but as a film it is amazing.
I really feel like it was on par with TFA for the first half (and I liked TFA), but then things happened that shot it ahead by leaps and bounds—and yet it’s not better than the OT.
chyron just put a big Ric pic in your sig and be done with it.
8.5/10. Hopefully when fanedited up to a 9/10.
In between 7 and 8 out of 10.
Perhaps a rank order will be the best preliminary judgement I can pronounce on it:
ESB
ANH
ROTJ
TFA
TLJ
ROTS
TPM
AOTC
I found it easier to list it after TFA than above it, though I’m not sure to what degree familiarity influences that.
I saw someone on twitter say that TFA is a dog and TLJ is a cat. TFA is just easier to love because it’s more interested in being loved. TLJ is going to require some time and work.
For the moment I’d put on a pretty equal level to TFA. It had many moments far superior to TFA, but I felt was inconsistent in tone. So for me it kind of evens out in terms of over-all quality.
A 6/10 movie with 7 & 8/10 moments. (Does that make any sense?)
This is exactly how I feel. It’s very much like ROTJ in that regard.

For any Oasis fans on here, TFA is As You Were, and TLJ is Who Built The Moon?..

Nice! Much appreciated.
If I had some gum, I’d chew a hole into the sun…
I hate it. It’s technically a better movie than The Force Awakens. But I think this new Disney Star Wars is ruining the Original Trilogy for me. I’m getting sick of Star Wars.

Oasis!
Though I do much prefer As You Were but not the Force Awakens. But spot on analogy nevertheless.

Cheers to you both!
Due to how Snoke, Luke, Leia and Rey were handled, I give the Last Jedi a 4/10.
Beautifully shot. You can make 100 wallpapers out of the cinematography.
I give it points for looking pretty and featuring exceptional performances from the main actors involved. I also didn’t find the score to be particularly exciting.
Due to how Snoke, Luke, Leia and Rey were handled, I give the Last Jedi a 4/10.
I agree with all of this except the 4 should be doubled.
One number doesn’t do any movie Justice imo, but:
ANH - 9/10
ESB - 9.5/10
ROTJ - 7/10
TPM - 5/10
AOTC - 4/10
ROTS - 6.5/10
RO - 6/10
TFA - 8/10
TLJ - 9/10
I really enjoyed Last Jedi.
Seeking only the most natural looking colors for Star Wars '77
TFA - 8/10

Tell nicky I was right…I was riiiiightttt…
Oh wait you said TFA. Close enough.
I give TLJ 9.5/10.
Revised rankings:
Tier 1:
ESB
SW
TLJ
Tier 2:
ROTJ
TFA
Tier 3:
ROTS
RO
Tier 4:
TPM
AOTC
Really the bottom two tiers are so bad their differences barely even matter. They ALL suck in their own special way. Also I go back and forth on whether I think ESB or SW is the best and whether AOTC or TPM is the worst.
I also didn’t find the score to be particularly exciting.
What??

I remember exactly when this happened in the film and it got me fired up.

I haven’t even seen the movie, yet when I heard this part of the soundtrack, I did feel the same as you.
One of the more entertaining things on this site when TFA came out was the people complaining how terrible the score was.

Kylo’s, Rey’s and the Resistance’s musical themes are classics already for me. I am forever thankful for what Williams crafted for the Force Awakens. These themes were used wonderfully for the Last Jedi.
Please tell me that Williams did do the Soundtrack for TLJ.
