Very mediocre film. "The Force Awakens" is POETRY compared to this garbage

Rating: 2/10 (27 January 2018)

I am a fan of the original trilogy and did not like the cartoonish prequels.
I was so excited and amazed when "The Force Awakens" premiered, as it captured completely the spirit of the original trilogy. The writing was very good for the film, as well. It was about "less is more", which is what the original trilogy is all about: Star Wars is about the force and the connection between the characters, it doesn't need to have 10 battles fit into one movie just to show off special effects.
"The Last Jedi" is a long movie that feels like Star Wars for kids. It's a Disney version of a Star Wars movie. Not as bad as the prequels, thankfully, but not much better either. What a poor script for Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill to deal with, they deserved much better than this nonsense.
This is a very confusing, messy film, way too long, with way too many characters to focus on. I would have cut out half of the movie, because it has so much filler, and it still wouldn't be that good.
I have watched "The Force Awakens" about 3 or 4 times since I saw it in the movie theater. I would NEVER want to watch "The Last Jedi" ever again. Very disappointing. It's SHOCKING to me how the lousy script was actually approved to begin with. It has many bits that sound like a cheap soap-opera, not like what you would expect from a writer for an A-List science fiction movie with such a huge following.
