A review of the negative reviews

Rating: 9/10 (13 December 2017)

The Last Jedi buids on all that made TFA great and does away with the bits of it that weren't so great. It manages to upset many expectations in a good way, and pays homage to Empire and ROTJ.
Negative reviews: "As if a barely trained girl could use the force against Kylo Ren" etc, etc, etc, other plot holes, implausibilities.
Yet the same people have no problem with:

A New Hope: "Of course Luke, the farm boy, could expertly fly an X-wing with no training and the rebels who he's just met would let him lead the mission against the Death Star".

Return of the Jedi: "Sure, four foot furball creatures throw rocks and shoot small stick arrows at armoured professional soldiers and kill them."

The Phantom Menace: "Sure, the Jedi tacitly condone slavery and cut a deal where a 6 year old has to win a high speed equivalent to F1 race to earn his freedom".

And so on for every aspect of every Star Wars movie.

It's all made up fantasy BS with glaring inconsistencies, since 1977. This movie is no different. Let it go and just enjoy it for what it is, a swashbuckling sci fi/ fantasy space adventure. Go an watch The Martian if you want some hard sci-fi. (Also, love the number of negative reviews about strong female leads - says more about the reviewer's insecurities than the movie.)
