This is not the Star Wars movie you are looking for...

Rating: 1/10 (8 April 2018)

It is such a shame that after a cool series of trailers prior to the films release, what we are treated to is little more than an unfortunate mess of a movie...
I'd been looking forward to this, but strangely I was not as excited as I was for any of the other Star Wars movies prior. I just wasn't feeling it. So off to the cinema I go, and yes I did enjoy the screening, but... I couldn't get to sleep that night, something was playing on my mind. The movie wasn't gelling, my mind racing with inconsistencies I was slowly unravelling.
Pros:
-So, I give The Last Jedi 1 Star for it's superb visual effects and that is about the only good point.
-Oh, John Williams soundtrack
Cons:
Oh dear, where do I start...
-Bad character realisation
-Very poor drawn out plot of a slo-mo chase in space
-Handling of Luke Skywalker
-Handling of Captain Phasma
-Handling of Finn & Rose
-Canto Bight and the awful side plot
-Monty Python style humour
-Kylo Ren is now full emo
-The New Wave Of Space Force Leia (TNWOSFL)
-Rey, how on Earth is she so powerful?!
-Poor Handling of Snoke
-Handling of Poe
-Treats Episode VIII with no regard
I can't get over the sheer level of comedy in this movie, there was quite simply too much. I always expect some humour in a Star Wars movie, but not at this level.
The main plot surrounds a series of spaceships chasing each other through space, with the resistance trying to escape the first order. So why the heck didn't the order hyperspace something in front of the Raddus? Or even launch more fighters to take them down? Oh the resistance just needed time to board their escape pods so we'll let them do that... are the order really that dumb...
How, without any training is Rey officially "Force God". Better than all before, raising rocks without an ounce of training, her parents cannot be 'nobody's' just don't go there.
The bombers in the opening battle, how come they 'drop' the bombs? what happened to the torpedos? oh and gravity?
Captain Phasma, hi....bye...wow seriously Rian, there was so much potential, JJ Abrams missed out with her.
Canto Bight, so this very brief place is shown, we don't stop there to enjoy the location or learn much. It's merely a stupid side plot we are supposed to believe Finn would be willing to do.
General Hux is now officially the new comedian in space, rocking the supremacy.
Where are the villains, oh you killed Snoke, shock and awe! So that just leaves us with Hux and Ren. What a comedic duo these two are....
Luke, why'd you toss my expectations off a cliff. I cannot reason with the direction Luke has been pushed into, I can agree with some of the points he is making. Although disregarding the force and just letting Kylo go on his distructive past I cannot understand how Luke would allow this. I just don't know....
I can go on, but it's not worth it. This is not a good film at all and I can not recommend it to anyone.
