A Complete Mess: Bad pacing, script, direction, and jokes.

Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2017)

I can only imagine that Disney assembled a team of bean counters who had to okay the dailies for this movie. Otherwise, I don't know how you realistically end up with such an uninspired disaster.
It feels like the only guiding principles were: 1) Don't repeat the mistakes of The Force Awakens and 2) Create merchandise tie ins for every possible demographic on Earth.
The pacing in the movie is horrible, the scenes move abruptly from location to location with no rhyme or reason other than it has to. There is way too much forced humour, to the point it is jarring and removes you from the very brief moments in which anything resembling tension (or a real movie) was starting to emerge.
The writing was something you'd expect out of a video game or something. Third rate game studio RPGs have better writing.
I'd agree with the other reviews in that Rian Johnson made JJ's TFA look like a masterpiece in comparison. JJ's TFA was completely devoid of originality and played it safe, but at least it was executed very well.
The Last Jedi just feels like it was put together in the editing room 15 minutes at time with no overall vision or goal other than to set up merchandising for the future.
