Rating: 3/10 (5 January 2018)

I watched The Last Jedi on the first weekend it came out. I went in fresh not hearing any reviews and having little expectation on what it would be besides some continuation of story and character arcs and from The Force Awakens, which I thought was a decent movie. I loved Rouge One because the of depth of the well written and executed story. I have enjoyed all the Star Wars movies and shows I have watched, even the one other people criticized like the prequels, until now.
When I left the theater I wasn't sure how I felt about the movie. The visuals and sound were stunning. Some of the acting was good, some even great in my opinion. The problems that left me conflicted were the massive and multitude of plot holes, incoherent story, and unnecessary and poorly thought out plot devices. It took some time for me to process the movie and as I did I started to slowly hate what I had saw. It's not that I mind change, gotcha style(of which this had plenty of) movies, or a new direction for the franchise. It is the direction this takes the franchise that is the problem. I now understand why Mark Hamill was some what cryptically critical of this movie in interviews I have watch since.
From the way some characters were killed off to basically breaking established(even accepted by Disney) or taking liberty with cannon, The Last Jedi trashes all the movies that came before and burns them down. Rian Johnson even seems to intentionally destroy story work established by Abrams in the last movie. Open story arcs and character building are smashed and unanswered questions are made irrelevant or treated with contempt.
There are a lot of SJW messages in this movie. I remember hearing years ago that Kathleen Kennedy(Lucas Films president) is a rabid feminists and misandrist which could explain some of the choices made. In general male characters in the movie are painted in a bad light. Women are painted more as heroes, which is fine but not at the expense men which is just sexist. The movie goes out of its way injecting an entirely(and unnecessary) sub plot just to make sociopolitical commentary. Most people enjoy scifi and fantasy as an escape from every day life and be inspired, not to get overt political commentary and sexism.
If you like flashy effects, ok acting, and good sound you may like the movie. If you like good story structure, coherency, and/or congruence my advice is to wait till it's free on TV because in my opinion it's not worth paying to see.
