a modern blockbuster ..with all that entails :barf:

Rating: 1/10 (18 December 2017)

Last Jedi suffers from franchise disease. There is a great deal of action and melodrama-many close ups of faces that are either concerned or sad- but there isn't that much actually happening and no one is in any real danger.
How could they be? All of the characters have to be in the next movie, as they all have various merchandise and it's expensive(focus groups cost money) to try to introduce new characters. So, our characters rush about excitedly but still have time to deliver speeches, marvel movie style one liners :barf:, and they emote to one another in the empty headed postmodernist way that Oprah talks to her audience.
It just fails as a movie.
