Intergalactic Dumpster Fire (NO SPOILERS)

Rating: 1/10 (6 July 2018)

I thought I loved the work put out by Rian Johnson, but damn was I mistaken. I used to think of him as competent, artistic and someone who knew what they were doing. This movie is such an utter mess from the opening scene. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the utter definition of contrived. "Go on a journey with forced plot point after forced plot point."
I would not consider myself a Star Wars fan boy, but I do enjoy the Star Wars universe and many of the films. I had mixed feelings for the new trilogy and was adequately surprised by the Force Awakens. There were some aspects I didn't care for, to say the least, but thought of it as enjoyable and that it actually fit well within the Star Wars universe.
This movie tries to do the unexplained, but just because something is unpredictable doesn't mean that it is good. Just because something is confusing doesn't mean that it's mysterious. I won't give anything away here but I would say Michael Bay would have done a better job with this film (and I hate myself for even thinking that). Rian Johnson threw out JJ Abrams' drafts and anything really related to Star Wars so that he (and the powers that be) could shoe horn in expensive scenes that are purely aesthetic and only skin deep. There is no "subversive genius" here and if you think that then, I hate to say it but, you are an incompetent moron and may god have mercy on your soul. I can go on for days about specific scenes and how awful it all is, but there are plenty of other reviews with spoilers.
I honestly felt this was a complete waste of my time to watch it-just imagine the time and effort everyone put into making this intergalactic dumpster fire....
