Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Johnny W — 01 Jan 2018

This is a terrible, awfully-paced, tone-deaf, hot mess of a movie. It's as if it were written by someone with asperger's, for an audience of autistic teenagers (i,e millennials). It breaks continuity, and it ruins the hype built-up by the force awakens.

There are absolutely no pay-offs from abrams' reboot. There aren't pay-offs from supporting characters's side quest in the film itself (finn/rose). Heck it feels so disjointed and atonal, it might as well be its own reboot.

The lack of direction on the franchise is clearly showing. The fact that they insert tons of tension-diffusing, "marvel-style", awkward jokes, tells you that disney just doesn't know what to do with it.

This is a company who keeps gobbling up other film companies. Imagine what other franchises they will ruin in the future. Yikes! This is why monopolies suck!
