8 Stars? Absolutely Not

Rating: 4/10 (16 December 2017)

Sadly this film was completely underwhelming. The Last Jedi didn't stand much of a chance considering JJ ruined any chance for the trilogy to be good but TLJ didn't do much to try and change the course of the new trilogy. There were defiantly many routes Rian Johnson could have taken but decided to copy and paste from the Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi. Same plot, same scenes, and the same characters.
Finn and Rose managed to distract and bore me to the point where I almost fell asleep and then after they fail their mission you come to realize that their mission was 100% useless. It was a terrible plot to begin with and then you realize it brought zero value to the movie. Snoke has maybe 5 minutes of screen time and is killed by Kylo in a blink of an eye. Is Kylo supposed to be the villain? You take one look at this guy and you just can't help but crack a smile. Adam Driver as the main villain is laughable. I guess Disney didn't want to make an intimidating bad guy for the kids. Rey, OP as ever, finishes her "training" if we can even call it that in a few seconds. The biggest thriller Disney was able to put together was a 10mph space ship chase, give me a break. Luke's character is just horrible to be blunt. When Mark Hamill said he disagreed with everything they did with Luke, he wasn't wrong. There is one scene that I almost walked out on and it was the scene where Leia gets blown up into space unscathed with no gear on and wakes up to force push her way back onto the ship. I couldn't believe that happened, I almost left the movie. That scene alone was a -4 stars.
Don't go see the movie in theaters and wait for it to come out on DVD. No need to rush to see it. The best word to describe the movie: underwhelming. JJ ruined the trilogy to begin with so I didn't have high hopes for The Last Jedi. It didn't disappoint with the terrible cast, characters you can't relate to/care about, copy and paste plot from the original trilogy, and an overall eh performance as a whole. I did feel it was better than The Force Awakens but so is every movie so that isn't an accomplishment. I defiantly won't be seeing the final movie, which we already know JJ is incapable of making the trilogy wrap up successfully, so I am extremely disappointed to say that this underwhelming movie is as good as it will get in the new trilogy. I gave it a 4 overall mostly because I was feeling generous but couldn't make it any better. Sorry Star Wars fans Disney failed us.
