Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Timothy P — 10 Dec 2018

What a way to drop the ball on a $4bn investment.. The SW brand was so strong that it was simply impossible to screw it up. Enter Rian "hold my beer" Johnson.

All previously set up plot points were tossed out and weren't replaced with anything new. This might be a blessing in disguise for JJ Abrams as he tries to wrap up a story with a clean slate but a lot of viewers aren't invested in where the trilogy is going. Is it even going? Seems quite directionless.

Multiple infringements on the SW universe and disregard of all previously established lore. I'm not interested in the political clutter that surrounds the critics vs supporters, man babies vs soy boys etc. It is just simply an utterly poor movie in terms of story telling and as a pivotal installment in a trilogy. It fails harder than anything has ever failed in human history.

The star rating only goes towards the cinematography. This movie is a visual feast. The picture and sound are stunning. One of the best I have ever seen!
