Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Gavin%20 Y — 24 Jan 2018

Re-submitted with one star as apparently 1/2 star reviews don't count on the audience score:

This Last Jedi is awful in so many ways, as a Star Wars movie it is more of a parody, as a stand alone movie it's just eye candy.

The downfall of this movie is that it was NOT made for fans of Star Wars. It was made to please a mainstream audience, it's like a Marvel/DC action movie in a Star Wars skin. The story/plot is secondary, instead we have a stunning visual spectacle, that will dazzle the audience in the theatre, but ultimately this movie will have no longevity.

Lazy writing/screenplay, multiple scenes plagiarised from previous movies, the plot is riddled with holes and inconsistencies. Political propaganda, appalling poor/forced humour EVERY 5 MINUTES, references to christian religion & swearing.This is NOT Star Wars.

This new direction may work in a stand alone Star Wars movie, Rian Johnson said he wanted to "wipe the slate clean", very well, do it in a spin off. Unfortunately what we have now is part 8 of a saga that's completely incoherent with everything that came before.

How have Lucasfilm/Disney got it so wrong after Rogue One and TFA.
