Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Ted%20 W — 29 Jan 2018

"1/2 star" reviews, and "Not interested reviews" Do not get added to the totals.

I came back to adjust my review, and upgrade to 1 star.

I see the score now at 48%, so at least it is moving in a more accurate direction. When I first looked into this , shortly after I saw the movie opening night, I think it was 58%.

The worst part about this movie I think for now is how Disney, Kathleen Kennedy and Ryan J are commenting in such a way as to make it look like anyone not liking this movie is a racist, women hater or a complete retard.

If you go to youtube, or any social media platform you care to look into, you will see women, men, young, old, every ethnic background making comments on why they hated this movie.

Unlike the people here with the 5 star reviews, and with no indept reason why, the people hating the movie go into detail as to why they hate it.

I see comments suggesting that those of us not liking the movie need to go see it again so that we will " Understand the great message inside the movie ".

Never.

The only message I see in this movie, is that if you have failed as a writer, there is hope, Disney is hiring and looking for people with no talent.

Honestly, I think Disney and Kathleen K expected the fans to come in droves ( and they did) to see anything with the Star Wars name in it. It is obvious they did not expect this backlash. This seems to be the reason why this was able to pass from script to movie, without anyone thinking how the fans would react to a incredibly poor script, and to incredibly stupid changes.

Its almost as if they wanted to make a Harry Potter / Oliver twist / Guardians of the galaxy....star wars movie. The kid at the end of the movie, made me think that was the direction they wanted for the Oliver Twist sort of spin off.... I dont know, but it is just nuts. I do not have the words.....it is a confusing mess.

Anyway.....

Sure, the movie made money, but far short of The Force Awakens. Disney was expecting a 25%+ increase over TFA... and this movie will never get anywhere near that. Yes, it made huge money, but Star Wars with its fan base of hundreds of millions world wide, this was a given in. All, or most of the fans will see it, and likely will never see it again. I saw it once, and never again.

I did not like TFA, but I did not hate it. But I am not big on reboots, and TFA to me, seemed a reboot of " A New Hope" I did however see the movie 3 times in theatre. This travesty, I saw once, and that was it, I have no desire to ever see it again, and I know in that sentiment I am not alone.

Disney and Kathleen K, maybe thought they could troll all of us into buying into whatever story they wanted to pitch, and for some people.... like the ones giving 5 star reviews it seems to have worked. ( wow seriously 5 stars for this movie...maybe if you can shut off your brain and not look at the errors and inconsitencys to the time line).

But this movie is going to fall short of making 2.5 billion. And if this is now the norm for star wars movies, gone will be the big money days for a star wars movie.

If the Han Solo movie ( that no one was asking for) Is shit, with poor writing, or crazy changes to the Han Solo character, the bulk of the fan base...now 52% ( according to RT..... I think it is more like 75% ) will say " Fuck you".

I am giving 1 star for seeing Mark Hammil again, but not for seeing the character. I am not give any stars for the score, or the visuals, both were great. But for me for a star wars movie this should be expected and the norm not the exception. The rest of the movie, if I could give negative 5 stars I would.
