From unique magic, to empty fastfood.

Rating: 2/10 (20 December 2017)

I will say one thing... No movie has ever made me so sad before. Unfortunately it wasn't the movie itself that contains sadness or any other emotions, but the utter destruction of the magic that Star Wars had.
The original trilogy did something very rare, it somehow captured magic, truly! You can still feel it today. In truth, new movies shouldn't really have the ability to destroy the magic of older ones... But if you continue to pile trash over diamonds, eventually their shine will be lost to the world.
I still had some hope after Force Awakens, I'm not ever sure why (as it was really bad in itself) but I guess that JJ at least had some respect for the original trilogy. He tried his best to make a movie that feeds the shrinking attention span minds of the new generations, and with that he succeeded... While putting in motion a wrecking ball that is The Last Jedi.
Where Force Awakens succeeded, The Last Jedi excelled and took it to a whole other level. It was a total home run, a once in a lifetime masterpiece for new generation kids who live on junk food and cheap thrills. Last Jedi was Fast and Furious in space, only so much better. And at the same time it was also the biggest insult that any sequel movie has ever given it's prequels before.
Do you know those moments in Fast and Furious after some character does something cool and they dramatically zoom-in to show insanely cool facial expressions? Kids will be happy to know that The Last Jedi has endless ammounts of such awesome zoom-ins!
From rarely capturable magic to a complete empty non-stop immediate gratification cheap thrill.
I am heartbroken for all true fans of Star Wars, this is a sad moment. Disney has taken a legend and turned it into a drug for teenagers, the next trilogy will be the drug for the next generation of teenagers, and so on, for as long as they can milk it, until any shred of dignity is lost even from the memory of the original trilogy. Making more money for people who are already beyond wealthy, while trampling all over something that actually has some real goodness in it.
It is also shocking to see the ranking the movie gets in all major websites. I don't know what else to say...
