Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Appius C — 17 Dec 2017

Like many others I set up this account just to warn you about this Movie!

I honestly don't get how on earth this could get an 93% rating...it's beyond me. First off, I loved Star Wars since I first watched it when I was 11 years old. The Prequels started bad but got better with every episode ( at least imho).

TFA was not perfect, but I eventually enjoyed it. Despite it beeing a knock off from Ep. 4, it had many new aspects and interesting character set ups. Well guess what, all that didn't mean shit and went out the window. In Last Jedi you have weird comedy moments that made me facepalm repeatedly because they were so awkwardly out of place. A completely uninteresting and unnecessary subplot, no character development at all. For some reason Luke is now a whiney, frightened old man who spends his days...well...not sure what he does on this island and why he even bothered to hide a map so people could find him.

Despite that, the scenes with him and Rey are the most interesting by far, and these scenes are the only reason I give this otherwise painfully bad Movie 1 Star.

All in all this felt more like a random super hero film, but it most certainly has nothing to do with Star Wars except the name and some leftovers from the previous Movies.

This was worse than Phantom Menace. Can't think of anything worse to say about a star wars movie.

This hurts even to write, because I really wanted to like this one and not be one of those people who rant about a movie. But this turned out to be a disappointment on so many levels ...i could go on but lets just say this:

If you were hoping for a Star Wars Movie that told you an interesting Story about the Nature of the Force, why the Jedi were not the ones to achieve balance of it, where Rey comes from, how Kylo Ren was corrupted, where Snoke comes from and why he is so strong with the Dark side, thrilling Light saber duels and maybe epic space battles...well then this movie will tell you little to nothing about that and if it does, ruin it with bad out of place comedy or stupid writing.

If you were hoping for a "CGI-super-hero-Pirates of the Carribean 3 Movie"in Space then you will probably enjoy this, give it 5 stars and tell the world that everybody who does not enjoy this is a hater and just doesn't understand the movie.
