I was ANGRY 1/3 through the movie

Rating: 3/10 (16 December 2017)

Be prepared to let out angry gaffaws and make friends with any Star Wars fans sitting next to you, bonding over your mutual disgust. This movie is utter garbage. Rian Johnson should just retire in shame after this.
I can't tell if this is a botched mess from the directing or editing or all of the above. The graphics aren't even great. Saturation was weird. Characters were empty. Chemistry between actors was bad.It was way too choppy. The plot line was weak. It seemed like a collection of scenes with no real point, just a bunch of money shots.
The first third of the movie holds NO dramatic tension whatsoever. Leia got blown out of a ship, presumably dead, and I felt nothing. (Of course then somehow she is immortal and goes on some weirdly long, awkwardly shot float back into the ship. Why is Leia suddenly immortal?) That moment should have been heavy or held some weight, but nope.
There's a whole story line with Finn and a new character--Rose (UGH)-- that has little purpose, if any at all. The casino scene felt like something straight out of the prequels. Ah, look at all the weird quirky characters.
Poe/Finn call Maz to figure out the codebreaker. Why call Maz? Just so her character can make a cameo? It was a completely goofy conversation that felt like a video game cut scene.
Luke on the island is weird, never really gets explained properly, or maybe I just don't accept the reason, but whatever. There's a hokey scene where Rey is following Luke during his daily activity. He drinks the milk from some giraffe creature with a deranged look on his face, the giraffe creature looks at Rey as if it feels violated, and Rey looks away uncomfortable. The whole scene felt like something grotesque that I shouldn't be seeing.
Dialogue is awful. When Rose (UGH) "saves" Finn, she says something along the lines of "we'll win not by fighting those we have, but by saving those we love." Multiple people in the theater legitimately groaned and then we all started laughing.
Also, the droids barely are in it. Chewie is barely in it. The movie misses the mark with regards to Star Wars charm. It tries too hard in certain places, making it cringeworthy, and woefully neglects areas that could have given the film more character.
I could keep going on and on, but I'll refrain. One positive: The Porg is adorable.
