Oh Rian..... Rian Rian Rian...

Rating: 3/10 (15 December 2017)

Usually I am rather passive when it comes to browsing through the pages of IMDB, but this film made me feel obliged to create an account and leave a review on this film.
As a casual Star Wars fan, not one of those crazy superfans that his franchise has, some of which I had the pleasure of sharing the theatre with i assumed as their howls rang out over the opening credits, but nonetheless, i went in with mild excitement but also i was aware that director Rian Johnson was once one of those crazy superfans that felt it necessary to howl over the titles so all in all i was hoping for success but expecting disappointment. and as i walked out, disappointment was an understatement.
I believe that because of Rians love for the franchise, he felt so much pressure to get it right and do the trilogy the service it deserves, that that ultimately he crumbled under the pressure, but he was not the sole reason for the disappointment.
The ensemble put together was a mixed bag of over rated and under appreciated actors which performed accordingly.
John Boyega has evidently lost his appeal ever since being exposed to the world of police brutality from his role in Detroit and is clearly prioritizing being Idris Elba's son in Pacific Rim 2. Daisy Ridley's acting skill and ability to show true emotion was the actual thing to be murdered on the Orient Express. Adam Drivers time as a Portuguese priest in Silence didn't give him enough of a chance to control his inconsistency in living up to his potential and Domhnall Gleeson was as usual under apprecitaed in his role as General Hux, I now hope he doesn't have those god awful side burns in either Goodbye Christopher Robin or Peter Rabbit.
All in all, Star Wars - The Last Jedi was a film that was a mixture of embarrassing script writing and unnecessary nonsense put in there exclusively for the Rian Johnson's of the world, combined with little moments of happiness and enjoyment.
And a note if you're reading this before you watch Star Wars The Last Jedi, don't be the one to ruin the silence, but if you're reading this after watching Star Wars The Last Jedi, then do you regret not breaking the silence with a stupid noise also? I know i do.
