Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2017)

Spoiler Free Quick Summary: There are many Flaws in Star Wars Last Jedi. Some of it was really fun. Some of it flat out disappointed. Some of it felt like exploitation of the franchise, while other parts felt like they had a heart and paid good homage.
The fact is, "It just didn't feel like Star Wars" felt more like a Marvel movie. Which I don't see as a good thing. They need to cut about 45 minutes from the film and stop "Plot twisting" to shock the audience. Sticking to the rules of the Star War lore would also help the situation. And The CG over practical effects kinda smashes the whole idealism as to why the Force Awakens was deemed acceptable and the last Jedi as another tool to make quick cash. Too long too much and too Disney not enough Star Wars.
6 out of 10 stars.

Glad I went. A little disappointed.... But glad I live in a world where there is a Star Wars
There were some really great moments in the film. But there were some really disappointing aspects too. It had nothing to do with the breaking of fan theories or any of the trivial chatter that makes up a review by fanboys. The film fell flat due to the STORY (or lack thereof). What was presented here did not seem on par with the lore of the other 7 films in the saga. It's downfall had a little more to do with the way The last Jedi was STRIPPED of the royal treatment the force awakens was given. Honestly, The perfect ending for the Star Wars story should have been The Force Awakens. Perhaps it should have just ended there. But that's not what happened. The Last Jedi seemed, empty of all that care. A lot of CG rather than practical effects. It reminded me more of one of the prequels in its style. It just didn't hold up. No one wanted to like this movie as much as I did. At times I felt there were so many Disney injustices that I half expected the characters to break out into song like in a bad Disney musical. It is almost like the filmmakers themselves were having the same inner demon battles as Kylo Ren. As if there were two films on display. One that paid respects to a really cool franchise (light side) and one that Exploited it for cash (dark side)
As if Director Rian Johnson was struggling with the film he wanted to make vs the film that the giant conglomerate Disney was forcing him to make. In this instance. JJ Abrams would have had the clout to say "Screw you guys I'm going home" and walk away from the project if the Disney dictation got too influential in the filmmaking project. Whereas Rain is obviously more easily persuaded by the dark side. Much like the Snoke / kylo relationship. Snoke manipulating Kylo to do the deeds of the Dark side. Rain seems manipulated by the corporate workings of the Disney Money Machine.
A possible case of Career over quality?
And to me, this marks not just a striking blow to the heart of Star Wars. But also to the heart of Hollywood and the people who love quality films, over junk food Cable tv productions, that seem more the speed of Rain.
