Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!

Rating: 1/10 (16 April 2018)

I've seen every Star Wars film as a theatrical release since 1977 and whilst they have varied in quality (and reception), none bar "The Last Jedi" have failed to deliver to some degree. I can honestly say this film isn't worthy of belonging in the Star Wars canon. It has taken 40 years of fully immersive story-telling and in one bitingly ironic swoop flattened it into a 2-D hologram. Help us Obi-Wan!
I don't wish to elaborate unnecessarily as other reviewers have caught the essence of it. But I will suggest a few apposite keywords for those that appreciate brevity including "derivative", "lazy", "inaccurate" and yes - even "boring". I contemplated giving this film 2 stars in recognition of the CGI but then it's 2018 and good CGI should be de facto in a big budget film such as this.
I will give full marks to Disney for one aspect however: they managed a novel take on the old addage of being unable to polish a dog turd by instead rolling it in glitter.
