... or perhaps more likely did not finish watching the film.

People complain about a jumble. Think about the first time you watched Memento. It was tough to watch and work out. This film is the same. There was a reason Memento was shot like that. This film also has a reason.

Without giving too much away, don't expect another simple war film. This is a very well executed expose of war and what it does to us as individuals.

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.
