Unique film

Rating: 1/10 (9 April 2018)

I have seen many films in my life. Some are boring (so I start to doze off in the cinema). Some are predictable but still perfectly good fun to watch. Some movies turned out to beyond my highest expectations.
The first time I went to a cinema was when my dad took me and my nine year old brother to see a re-run of star wars and empire strikes back (double bill). I had never been so excited after seeing these films. Everything about theses films just blew my ten year old mind. The story, the music, the special effects, I was totally wrapped up on the whole Star Wars universe it was one of the truly magical magical memories I have from my childhood. I remember that day well because it had such a big impact on me.
Fast forward 35 years the the latest Star Wars installmet 'Last Jedi' is the closest I've come to walking out of a cinema in my life. There have seen many bad films including just about all of the Lucas prequel trilogy, the phantom menace and what not. Those films were not good but they were watchable. The force awakens was not bad at all and it purported to set up this trilogy nicely. The problem is the last Jedi was not only boring, full of plot holes with a rubbish script, and (lets be honest) mostly rubbish acting. All theses things are manageable and even forgivable. What made this movie so bad was that I found it offensive. I am not asking for the film maker to make me feel ten years old again, I only want an honest attempt at the next episode.
It felt like Disney, Rian Johnson, Abrams, and everyone else involved was having a joke at my expense. I felt humiliated. I'm can accept being bored or watching a flawed movie if its an honest attempt. The Lucas prequels were poor but they were his attempt to tell a story. The last Jedi felt like it was dishonest from the start: I felt like I had paid money to see not just a bad attempt but the deliberate destruction of a beloved franchise I have followed most of my life.
I won't watch start wars again. The original Star Wars trilogy is good enough for me, I'll settle for that.
