THIS IS NOT THE MOVIE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR...

Rating: 4/10 (15 December 2017)

Walking into the crowded theater with others wearing festive costumes and t-shirts, I was rather excited. It had been two years since the last installment, and I was ready for a continuation of the Skywalker story line.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed as it seems that Star Wars: The Last Jedi fell into a childish trap that forced the movie to contain too many jokes. Yes, some of them were funny, but it was too much. The jokes than seeped all of the seriousness out of the situation and removed all of the suspense that this movie was supposed to contain. However, I would say the two and a half hour journey through the galaxy was entertaining, but it felt far far away from the expectations I had for the plot and for the writing. Usually, Star Wars is witty and exciting, but in The Last Jedi, the jokes are forced and the transitions are choppy. It seems that Rian Johnson just shoved the movie onto the shelves of Target and Walmart in order to sell a whole bunch of Porg plush toys. That said, the movie was aesthetically amazing, and the 3D experience was really cool.
In the end, am I glad that eye saw it? Yes, its a Star Wars film, and I will see and hopefully enjoy every Star Wars film in the future. Would I see it again or buy it on Apple TV? No, not at all.
