The Worst Star Wars Movie Ever Made

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 2017)

This review contains spoilers:
Where to begin? This movie is not even as good as most amateur fan fiction. From the writing, to the plot, to the fact that the writer of this movie does not even seem to understand the characters he is writing about, this is the worst excuse for a Star Wars movie ever created. The Last Jedi makes the Ewok movies feel like great cinematic achievements.
Starting with Luke Skywalker, the hero of the original series is reduced to an incoherent hermit that won't help a galaxy in need. He is in no way the same character that redeemed Vader. It's not consistent with his character and then his death is so needless that it seems like Rian Johnson just hated the character of Luke and wanted to take a leak on his legacy.
Regarding Leia, I have no objections with her showing Force abilities, but the way they utilize those in the movie are beyond ridiculous. Her flying through space like Superman looks insanely stupid and silly.
Also, as much as George Lucas was maligned for silly humor in the prequels, TLJ makes those seem serious by comparison. The stupid slapstick and potty humor is more appropriate for an "American Pie" film or "Dude Where's My Car?"
The characters in the movie seem to have next to no motivation in general and are just there. Characters like Snoke seemed to have lots of potential, but this movie cut off all the interesting plot lines from The Force Awakens, and we are left with Force sensitive children with no names sweeping stable floors instead.
On a positive note, the action sequences are adequate, but not as impressive as the battle in the original trilogy. The light saber fights are okay, but nothing special.
Overall, I recommend this as a Netflix watch only. Rian Johnson has messed things up so badly that he has left JJ Abrams a Herculean task of trying to salvage this steaming turd and make something that approaches a decent conclusion to this trilogy. Perhaps a better name for The Last Jedi would be, "Dude Where's My Star Wars?"
