JJ, you hack

Rating: 5/10 (15 March 2020)

Wow, what a mess... but a fitting ending to this botched trilogy. Well done, JJ and Rian Johnson, you made the prequel trilogy look masterpieces compared to this garbage. These guys... While Rian has vision, it's not true to Star Wars, and JJ is just a hack without any vision whatsoever so he just copies and pastes everything from earlier movies. I'm so tired of seeing the same ideas, visuals and scenes over and over again. Oh, and Disney, how on Earth is it possible that there wasn't a definitive arc for the trilogy? I'm just baffled by this level of incompetence.
Plenty of reviewers pointed out all the inconsistencies before me. It's perfectly clear that the filmmakers have no idea or don't care about Star Wars, it seems as if they haven't even watched the previous movies. But as filmmakers they could have at least made a movie that followed the rules of filmmaking. Let the scenes breathe a little bit for Christ's sake, add some conversations or something! It's like watching a music video that was cut together randomly. You blink for a millisecond and the cast is in a totally different location without any transition. I bet Disney was scrambling like crazy to finish this thing in time.
They are going to teach this trilogy in film school, and not for the reasons Disney would hope.
Kathleen Kennedy is out, but unfortunately it's too late to undo what happened to the most beloved movie franchise. It's ruined forever.
