Sloppy storytelling

Rating: 2/10 (7 January 2018)

If you want space battles and special effects only I guess this movie would rate ok for you. If you want good storytelling as well this movie is a mess. It tried too hard to give new characters screen time without giving me any reason to care for them. The whole casino mission was a waste of time for what it didn't add to the movie and what could have been added to the Luke training Rey storyline. I understand the torch needs to be passed to create new stories but you don't need to basically give the finger to the original movies to do that. Even Luke's change of character could work if it was set up better. It's a cop out to say all the fan backlash is because The Last Jedi wasn't the movie the die hard fans had in their heads and you will never satisfy everyone. The Last Jedi just isn't a well told story.
