Excellent Movie, with a whole lot of fake bad reviews her on IMDB

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2017)

OK, perhaps more of a 8/10, but the fake reviews/ratings are getting excessive. I keep my reviews on my own site, but I wanted to put in a word here with all these 1 & 2 star reviews running around. The Last Jedi is a lot of fun: Great adventure, solid acting, meaningful themes. It is one of the better Star Wars films--stepping up from The Force Awakens. It isn't particularly different in kind as it feels like a part of the franchise, so it isn't going to shock you. It's just a really fun Star Wars film.
The grumbling is coming from a combination of nostalgia-kids who wanted exactly the same thing with exactly the same characters acting in exactly the same way and are unhappy that some things (mainly Luke) have changed, and Doomsphere residents who are angry that there are as many lead female characters as male ones and both a Black man and an Asian woman have prominent roles. Here on IMDB they seem to be mainly the first, and they are posting reviews here in mass. On Reddit and Twitter, mainly the second. Ignore both and just enjoy the show.
