Did Disney buy reviewers off? How does this stinkbomb have a 7.7 IMDB rating?

Rating: 2/10 (22 December 2017)

Something seems off. If most hardcore fans hated this movie and were passionate about giving it a low score where are these high ratings coming from? It's not from the overworked moms and dads that are casual fans that's for sure. There is no way that these high reviews weren't planted by the studio. The fact that all of the professional critic reviews were also glowing smacks of industry bootlicking where critics lavish praise on a films so their news organizations aren't shut out of future Disney screenings. The Last Jedi shows what happens when a company builds up clout. This movie is an utter betrayal of the Star Wars fandom. Brought to you by an auteur director who seems more interested in splattering his weird ideas on screen with no rhyme, reason or research.
I gave it two stars because I liked the special effects and the Chewbacca scenes. The actress who plays Rey also looked sweet, she really cleaned up in the gym. To the film's credit the technical aspects of the film are great and the action scenes were a flurry, but everything else was a muddled mess. Where the heck were the storylines of Rey and Kylo even going? The telepathic sessions seemed like a behind the scenes Vanity Fair magazine cover shoot with the two, no important info was conveyed. What is the purpose of the First Order? They're not an empire? What in the world do they want? How come the Resistance, which apparently controls the galactic Republic, is so understaffed? It's like having the United States outgunned against Guam! And Luke. Oh boy. Who thought it was a good idea to turn him into a raving lunatic? "The Jedi must end!" Yea but the Sith are still around so what good does it do to actively destroy Jedi artifacts? Was Luke a Sith? He certainly was acting like one, particularly how he was led by his passions. All the throwaway characters. The absurd slo-mo chase that a few First Order hyperspace jumps couldn't end. The dead end plots. The weird Jedi powers that just show up unexplained, but could have been useful earlier if Luke wasn't so grumpy. The mirror of madness? The junk skis on salt that moved 20 mph that the bad guys couldn't hit!? And lest not forget Super Leia.
Anyway someone should investigate the source of these positive "reviews." There's no way this film be so decisive and remain so high in scores across multiple movie review sites.
