Some great visuals but this movie is a mess

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2019)

I'm in the camp that enjoyed The Last Jedi. Not everything worked in that movie but I appreciated Rian Johnson taking chances and doing some unexpected things, which was a breath of fresh air. This is my least favourite Star Wars movie since Attack Of The Clones. This movie spends too much time trying to undo what LJ established, frenetic action with characters delivering lines with no time to breath, contrived story to link this all to the original 6 movies when one can clearly see that they absolutely had no clue where they were taking this story when starting with Force Awakens, among other gripes. There were some good character moments, the actors did the best they could with what they had and it looked great but these moments were few and far between.
