The Last Jedi is as bad as the fans say it is!!!

[harmonica]

Finn has no presence.....his acting and presence is weak

If you're a lifelong Star Wars fan, The Last Jedi's message to you is what I often tell a group of kids before they're about to get a treat; "you get what you get, and you don't throw a fit."

Yes, they forever ruined Luke Skywalker. Yes Finn, Poe, Rose, Phasma, and Guillermo Del Torro could have been entirely absent from the movie and affected nothing. Yes, Snoke ended up being nothing. Yes, Rey's parents ended up being nothing. Yes, they despicably pissed on the grave of Admiral Ackbar. Yes, the entire main plot of the movie was a low speed car chase that was running out of gas.

Was it as bad as the prequels? No, I won't go that far. But damn, was I disappointed.

If you don't know anything about Star Wars, you'll love it. And I'm happy that Star Wars is going to continue, whatever form it happens to continue in. So I won't throw a fit, but I'll probably wait until Episode 9 is out on Netflix to watch it.

I agree with your assessment, except they it was worse than the Phantom Menace and even the Clone War

I felt much more slapped in the face by Phantom Menace, but I won't argue. What they did with Luke could certainly be considered worse.

At least the Phantom Menace had Darth Maul. Best Star Wars villain since Vader.

it does suck...good listing by the OP
the casino scene???!! ridiculous
...the lady that took over for Leia--no acting ability at all !! terrible acting/etc ..she acts like she is in a Macy's dressing area with nothing to do...no forcefulness....
...Luke on the island scenes--boring--stupid--etc
most of the comedic lines just spoken--like robots reading from a script
sucks sucks

I knew the ''third'' part would not be good--usually they are not

The first scene with Poe basically doing a parody call with Hux was so cringe worthy I felt embarrassed for the actors.

Disney has damaged the Star Wars franchise beyond repair...

o yeah--it was so goofy I forgot about it
Leia flying back to the ship, as you stated, after everything around her was blasted to hell was sickening

True but then they frustratingly kill him off in the 1st movie.

Worst part of the movie. I heard the guy in front of me say, “you have to be kidding!”

Mark Hamill reacts to the latest Star Wars.
You have to see his face as he sits next to the director, while being interviewed immediately after seeing the film for the first time... The look of shock and betrayal is gut wrenching.

They were borrowing a lot from Empire, trying to cash in a bit on drawing similarities to Empire Strikes back. It would have been ok if not so obvious.

Characters were not that likeable, and I agree about lack of chemistry, but it was across the board. I saw ZERO chemistry anywhere.

Very action packed though. It kept my interest, but, in retrospect, pretty empty and superfluous

My husband actually laughed out loud when Kylo asked Ray to "join me" ... ala, Vader and Luke from ESB

Its clear that someone put out the hit on Luke Skywalker, after Hamills vocal protest of the way the character was being handled...

Star Wars in a boner, has been since the first movie and to the last..To me it's everything that's a billion dollar campaign on campy..
