Good idea but poorly executed film

Rating: 4/10 (19 March 2018)

The only thing I really liked about this movie are the special effects, some of the fight scenes, and I actually did like some of the themes but felt they were poorly, poorly executed. It's funny that one of Rian Johnson themes is failure because he completely and utterly failed to convince me of them. This is how I felt about movie, it was a good idea but execution was extremely lacking and downright atrocious at times. Unnecessary humor, every joke felt forced, it's like Disney thought we could not handle the serious moments. I felt confused and empty when I left the theater, I was literally speechless but in a very negative way. Felt the explanations for why these things were happening was extremely elementary and not well thought out at all, I can live with small plot holes but major ones just can't be overlooked. Rian Johnson was clearly not the right guy for the job, script and pacing were issues though out the film. Rey is still a Mary Sue to me and this is not a criticism of a lead female character but a reflection of poorly written ones. So I really should say that Rian Johnson is the real Gary Sue in all this because he is the one to blame for allowing this vitriol to be put on screen. ***Spolier***I didn't mind that Luke died and that was a pretty good parlor trick he did but it's just another example of a good idea but flawed execution. I knew it wasn't really Luke on the salt planet, he looked completely different from the rest of the film, I call it Luke's Just for Men moment. Hint Rian Johnson you change one or two small things and not three or four major things if you want to convince me of your deception. I could go on and on but I have already wasted enough time on this. That's a BAD Disney, a VERY BAD Disney. In closing I will not watch the final installment in the theater but wait until it comes out on Netflix.
