Finally caved and pulled this off the shelves at the library. I expected awfulness, and was not disappointed. Watch: Loose message about the evils of eating meat (from a character who likely could not support himself without it) Physics become further irrelevant in space (nice job stealing from Battlestar Galactica with the ship flip) Physics become suddenly important in space (fuel... almost as bad a McGuffin as a trade federation) More newly discovered force powers - ghosts aren't blue and fuzzy any more! Domestic violence - or, why it's ok for Leia to slap Poe, but not for Poe to slap Holdo Further gender disparity - why it's ok for Rose to sacrifice herself but not for Finn to sacrifice himselfBut that's not all! Ships with no shields! Shields with no ships! Nazi impersonators! Backstabbing and betrayal! Red guard assault cloned from Tarantino! Ridiculousness in a casino! A horseback chase that would make PETA proud! The immortal Captain Phasma being irrelevant (again)! Slow bombers that have no need to go slow! Fishing!What more could you ask for... other than logic, continuity, and real heroism???

Honestly, The Last Jedi was not the worst Star Wars movie I've seen. It had a lot of refreshing and different little turns that made it feel more original (some different turns in storyline and different things in characters you wouldn't expect). At the same time, however, it felt pretty shoehorned in and did not feel completely coherent. On top of that, the film was muddled with a few plot holes and a few cringe worthy sequences (green milk fresh from the teet and the notorious "Carrie Poppins" scene.) The film did leave me interested to what could happen in the next film, had decent acting, amazing visual effects and action, an always beautiful score, a thought provoking and meditative ending and it was fairly watchable the first time around. However, at the end of the day it was really a one trick pony, good for one time to watch and then the thrill wears off. Last Jedi is not as bad as the butthurt fans say it is, but it's certainly not great. A mixed bag.

Star Wars (so-called this crap isn't Star Wars), Star Trek, Annihilation, Mad Max, X-Men, Ghostbusters, Atomic Blonde and Oceans *. Even the last so-called Thor movie had a woman bossing Thor around and kicking his read end (but don't worry Thor found his inner stand up comic side).Disney = Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I dont know what to say that hasn't already been said. Seriously I thought I was watching a movie that was a parody of Star Wars, Gravity and other space movies. The Last Jedi? By the looks of it, Rey looks like she has a good grasp of Jedi duties by the end with her boulder juggling act. The Force Awakens gave me a new hope (pun intended) when it came to a new wave of Star Wars movies. The Last Jedi pretty much put me in a headlock and kicked me in the nuts. Disney is mad with power. I'm watching this movie as I'm writing this and I just keep scoffing at it. The dialogue is so dumb, the jokes are cringe worthy, I seriously dont recognize this Luke Skywalker. I never knew him to be a pessimist. He went through the original trilogy as determined, optimistic and selfless. In this movie he is passive aggressive and self doubted. Codebreaker????? Wow what a stupid subplot. That casino city section of this movie and that little alien putting coins in BB-8 seriously made me gag a little. I thought Leia being blown into space would've been emotional and a dignified end for her. But low and behold she somehow awakens IN SPACE and floats!?! back to another ship. Rian what the are you smoking? Seriously have you seen a Star Wars movie before or are you going the way of Paul Feig and rewriting how a classic should be remade? Fin was wasted, Rey was neglected, I liked Rose but her character was a bit too preachy. Poe was the only one with passion. Luke wasn't Luke, Leia was a bit wooden and Chewie is now a double act with the porgs. I'm not looking forward to episode IX. I definately wont be watching it at the cinemas. Because by the end of this movie I dont even know what I'm anticipating. There is no cliffhanger, no real development, no questions that I'm looking for an answer to. Thanks Disney for ruining this franchise for me
