This is like Marvel garbage. Don't believe the critics

Rating: 1/10 (19 December 2017)

Movie Critics are complete hypocrites. This movie has everything that they hate in a blockbuster picture:
Convoluted and simultaneously boring plot
Undeveloped characters
cringey and juvenile jokes that undercut any drama or emotion
it tells you what happens instead of showing it
and yet they love it.
The director, writers and producers elected to model this film after the Marvel formula of endless action without consequence. Of joke after joke, so hamfisted and formulaic you can predict when it will comes. LAUGH YOU PUPPETS
The plot itself is actual garbage. It completely contradicts the first movie of the trilogy let alone the entire saga.
Here's a detailed reasoning of why the plot is so bad:
The film had a few major problems. It didn't advance the story from the force awakens. It scrapped the tone, mood and plot of the force awakens. It completely changed the personalities of Hux, Kylo and Snoke.
The plot was a boring chase sequence. Star wars is known for developing characters or showing a vast and expansive universe, and most of the time it does both effortlessly.
This movie did neither.
The subplot at the casino ended up being inconsequential. If Finn just stayed asleep they'd actually be better off. Complete waste of time and was actually boring.
Starting almost immediately, the movie kept faking us out with dumb "twists"
Leia is dead, wait nevermind she flies like mary poppins.
Snoke is powerful. he is a dark and mysterious antagonist
Wait nevermind, he does not matter at all, he was just a plot device for Kylo Ren, even though this completely contradicts what was set up and implied in the previous film.
Kylo is developing as a potential protagonist or Anti-Hero. A first for Star Wars!
Actually no. He is no longer conflicted or interesting. He turns full evil and no one knows why. His implied motivations are weak and unconvincing.
Finn is a sacrificial hero! (I actually felt emotion as he was about to die)
Nope. They rob you of this moment at the last second. He remains an aimless character.
Kylo and Luke have a badass duel!!!
Nope. Once again cut to luke on the other side of the galaxy.
The minor characters were just complete disappointments.
BB-8 was ridiculous and utilyzed far too much than what was believable. A real deus ex-machina.
Poe did nothing. Just a lot of talking about something that could ahve been solved by him simply getting the information he asked for.
Captain phasma was the same disappointment as the last film.
Finn barely developed and had no real place in this plot. Hence why his subplot was only written for him to have something to do. IT ENDS UP BEING COMPLETELY INCONSEQUENTIAL.
Rose was only there to push an obvious nod to politics, DJ did nothing. Even Yoda looked and acted wacky.
Luke from return of the Jedi is unrecognizable and it doesn't make sense.
In the end both sides are crippled, the Galaxy is completely oblivious and none of it seems to matter.
On top of it now Leia will have to die offscreen because they made her Mary Poppins herself back into a ship. Kylo will either be redeemed or killed, that's the only two possibilities.
They didn't kill star wars they killed their own trilogy.
The ending? Please...
Completely missing from this movie is the magical moments of Star Wars.
Remember when luke finds his family murdered in the original. Thus setting off his hero's journey?
remember Han and Leia's romance and Luke's trial of dealing his father's evil in Empire Strikes Back?
Remember Vader's redemption? Obi wan telling anakin he was his brother?
The dual of the fates? Hell, even anakin and Padme's romance had beautiful music in attack of the clones.
Even JJ Abrams had this magic in Episode 7, when Rey takes the skywalker lightsaber instead of Kylo ren. The music soars and we get wide eyed.
None of that in The Last Jedi.
There was seemingly no room, which is ironic considering so little actually happens in the plot.
We do not hate this film because of the diverse cast, or because we hate strong female characters.
We hate it because it insults the vision that made star wars what it is.
The writing is amateur, the direction is clunky and even some of the visual choices are bad.
The movie is an absolute travesty, and they should all be ashamed of themselves.
