Oh well the only language that Disney understands is money, it appears people are boycotting the film.

Kinda explains it all.....
Disney and Nike team up to tell you a tale about the evils of capitalism...

"The force is in our Indonesian sweatshops" would be more appropriate.

I fundamentally ALSO disagree with every choice for Luke, just like Mark Hamill.

Dumbest plot in a long, long time
nadblaster21 December 2017
I can't really get into what's bad with this movie without dropping a ton of spoilers, but let me put it this way: a friend of mine went to see this before I did, and when I asked him how it was he hesitated, then said "it's just a superhero series now". He was more right than I ever could have known.

The plot is stupid and is full of moments where my friends and I looked at each other and said "wait, what?". There are sequences in this movie that simply do not need to exist and provide literally nothing to the story. The technology, previously something I always thought was neat about Star Wars, is genuinely dumb and makes zero sense (why do big laser bolts in space arc like artillery?). I am ashamed to have paid money for this and as a long-time Star Wars fan it hurts to see just how dead the franchise I love really is.

All that said, the special effects look and sound great, and it was fun to see Mark Hamill acting again. Other than that this movie is a disgrace not just to the franchise but to anyone with a brain. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Yep Disney are sure going to be pissed that despite only having 16 days to do it in (including xmas) TLJ will be their highest domestic grossing movie of the calendar year.

TFA was an absolutely juggernaut. It’s the highest grossing picture of all time FFS. Bit of a dumb yardstick to hold it up against.

More fitting would be, say, marvel movies. And it is already grossing more than any marvel movie since the first avengers movie in its short run thus far.

TLJ has actually seen big jumps in the box office number in the first 2 days of this week also. Seems now that Xmas is done people are heading back to the movies again

Haha, the excuses are already starting to roll in... "The Force Awakens was an outlier, the likes of which we may never see again!." Uhh, no. You are describing Avatar.

Look at the daily takings and compare TFA to TLJ side by side. There's a sharp drop off starting right after opening weekend.
TFA was the 1st star wars movie in 11 years and the ones it followed up from where the god awful prequels. It was also the 1st big tent pole movie since Return of the King to be released in December. I think it's fair to say that it had a lot of factors going to it that we are unlikely to see again

Critics Laud ‘The Last Jedi’ But IMDB Says Something Quite Different

On IMDB’s user review section, Bushfahrer09 gave it 1/10 stars and wrote:

FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, AS A TRUE FAN OF THE FRANCHISE, AS A READER OF ALMOST EVERY NOVEL, PLAYER OF EVERY GAME, A MAN THAT ADORES THESE MOVIES FOR OVER 25 YEARS: DISNEY KILLED STAR WARS AND EVERYTHING THAT MODERN CINEMA IS ABOUT.

I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW IT’S POSSIBLE TO PUT SALES FIGURES OF MERCHANDISE OVER EVERYTHING ELSE IN A FORM THAT YOU DON’T KNOW ANYMORE IF YOU’RE WATCHING A 150 MINUTES LONG COMMERCIAL OR A MOVIE OF ONE OF THE MOST ENTERTAINING, HEART-TOUCHING AND EXCITING MOVIE FRANCHISES EVER CREATED…

Jeff1970 gave it 1/10 stars and wrote:

I SAW THE FIRST STAR WARS MOVIE IN THEATRES WHEN I WAS SEVEN AND HAVE BEEN A LIFELONG FAN EVER SINCE. MADE I THROUGH THE PREQUELS AND DIDN’T THINK THEY WERE AS BAD AS SOME HAVE SAID. ENJOYED TFA AND ROGUE ONE. BUT THE LAST JEDI IS COMPLETE GARBAGE…

Realmuthaf gave it 1/10 stars and entitled his review “The Death of Star Wars”:

WOW, THE LACKLUSTER TRAILERS FAILED TO GIVE ME ANY HYPE FOR THIS, SO I WASN’T EVEN EXPECTING MUCH, BUT THIS, THIS IS A NEW DEFINITION OF “LOW”.

VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING IN THIS MOVIE IS OUTRIGHT BAD. THE PLOT IS DISJOINTED AND STUPID. THE ACTION IS BLAND, THE SPACE BATTLES LACK IN SCALE AND LOGIC, WITH 1 FIGHTER BEING ABLE TO DESTROY ALL OF A HUGE DREADNOUGHT’S CANNONS.

AS FOR LIGHTSABER DUELS, WELL, THERE ARE NONE FOR F**K’S SAKE! AND THE ONE FIGHT USING SABERS HAS HORRIBLE CHOREOGRAPHY THAT IS NOWHERE NEAR THE SPECTACLE OF ACROBATIC BATTLES OF THE OVERLY-HATED PREQUELS…

Warhound called it a “Total Disappointment”:

I HAD HIGH HOPES FOR THE ONE. TFA WORKED WELL AS A SOFT REBOOT AND ROGUE ONE WASN’T BAD EITHER, SO THIS ONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC. INSTEAD, WE GOT A LAZY, INCOMPETENT MESS.

MoodyHank entitled his review “Is it a parody?”:

THERE ARE SOME WELL WRITTEN AND COMPREHENSIVE REVIEWS ON HERE ALREADY SO I WON’T WASTE YOUR TIME IN THE DETAILS.

ESSENTIALLY, THE ENTIRE FIRST HALF OF THE LAST JEDI FEELS LIKE A STAR WARS PARODY. INSTEAD OF THE ODD MOMENT OF HUMOUR EVERY NOW AND AGAIN, EVERY SCENE AND CHARACTER IS A COMEDIAN IN TLJ. IT’S A CRAP GAG A MINUTE.

AND SOME OF THE GREAT WORK DONE THE FORCE AWAKENS TO RE-ENERGISE THE FRANCHISE WAS JUST COMPLETELY UNDONE. YOU KNOW THAT INCREDIBLY SIGNIFICANT AND POIGNANT MOMENT AT THE END OF TFA AS REY HANDS THE LIGHTSABRE TO LUKE? JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

I’VE RATED IT 4 STARS BECAUSE THE SECOND HALF OF THE FILM DOES PICK UP BUT BY THEN THE DAMAGE IS DONE. TLJ IS A HUGE MISSTEP IN THE FRANCHISE.



There are over 1700 user reviews on IMDB already and if you browse through them, you’ll find that it’s filled with 1, 2, and 3 star reviews.

You may find a 6/10 star review, but they are scarce.

What’s even more shocking is that it holds a total 7.9 rating from approximately 105,000 votes.

But if you took a consensus – like Rotten Tomatoes does with its critics’ reviews – IMDB users would agree The Last Jedi is a complete disaster.

Don't try to reason with them, m8. As evidenced above, bileduct is clearly off his meds and Mr Spock is just your typical hardcore trekkie who is buried under delusions that star trek is better than star wars

So the film scored a 7.9 out of 10 from 105,000 votes (7.6 now from 221,000 votes)? And this makes it a disaster?
