Highly Dissappointed

Rating: 2/10 (11 January 2018)

I walked into this film with almost sky high expectations, and who wouldn't? The trailers have been phenomenal, they got director Rian Johnson to make the movie, and Rey receives her training from Luke Skywalker in this movie. I walked out, feeling like I have been trolled. What I mean by this is that the movie would show glimpses of answering some of our greatest questions that we had after the force awakens, and then would simply shut it down with answer that makes me feel like I wasted my time. Not to mention that the movie in most of its runtime moves at a snail's pace, and when at this pace, it doesn't really pick itself back up. And plus, the movie just goes on for way too long. After everything went down by like the two hour mark I was kind of okay with, but the last half an hour throws this movie in the dirt. There are some ridiculous moments that take place during the second last act that they have and it actually made me angry, the illogic surrounding this film is astounding and it made me want to leave the theater. What really sucks about this movie is the wasted potential too, because there are some moments in this movie where I look at the movie and I just say too myself, "That could have been done better." The Last Jedi in my opinion is actually worse than the phantom menace and the only reason why I gave it two stars is that there are three moments in the movie where I actually enjoyed myself. The rest of the movie though is stupid and illogical and I hope JJ Abrams does good with Episode Nine, otherwise, I might be done with this new trilogy.
