A Space Comedy, just like The Fifth Element

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2017)

I'm not a Star Wars-obsessed fanboy. And I'm not some middle-aged guy who watched Star Wars as a little kid and fell in love with it. I also do NOT hate Disney or their films (I actually like a lot of them). I'm simply a reviewer who appreciates good movies and good storytelling.
This movie was AWFUL. This story was just stupid.
I didn't think The Last Jedi would actually be worse than The Force Awakens, but I was wrong. It's much worse. The Last Jedi is essentially a lighthearted family Disney comedy (i.e. children's movie) done with live action and CGI instead of animation.
The story is awful; very poorly written. Probably the worst aspect is the overabundance of corny one-liners and slapstick humor. The comedy diffuses all the tension in every scene so that you never really invest emotionally in the movie.
I wasn't even going to see this in the theater, but my family asked me to come along. I wasn't expecting much, but I did see the trailer. I thought for sure the producers would try just a little harder to make a good movie after noticing how many people disliked The Force Awakens. They didn't notice, or just don't care about anything except $$$.
It's like they weren't even trying to make a good movie. There were a lot of great actors in this movie, but their talent was wasted because the story/script/screenplay was so bad.
Adults: don't waste your money on this garbage.
