Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Ryan55 — 28 Jan 2018
This is a movie that will not be remembered well in years to come. Critics claim the movie is "subversive," but subversion without verisimilitude is meaningless. The correct term critics were looking for is "nihilistic.
" The only people who seem to like the movie are: A. People who have always found Star Wars annoying and enjoy seeing it be exposed to revisionism. B. People who are casual fans of science fiction/science fantasy.
C. People who enjoy seeing their political views mirrored on screen, regardless as to how well written the plot and characters are surrounding the politics. All they want to see is their politics validated, character development be dammed--and I should note I agree with the politics behind the movie; I'm not some anti-SJW person.
The who situation is just depressing, really. I won't be seeing any Disney Canon Star Wars® movies anymore. Extended Universe is the Real Canon, as far as I am concerned.
