Forced humor, the Finn/Rose subplot, so many other criticisms of the film and how it handled the characters, IMDB is full of disappointed fans

I was listening to a local radio show during my morning drive. All four of the guys said that they liked it. Three of them said that they thought it was good, but they were blown away. One guy said that he really liked it.
I'm surprised to hear how funny it is. I don't know why, but I expect this one to be really dark.

Imdb so far:
I wish the advancement of technology would fix bad writing!! 6 Mixed feelings (contains spoilers) 5 Patchy at best 4 bummer 4 My worse experience for a Star Wars ever 3 THEY RUINED LUKE SKYWALKER IN THIS MEDIOCRE SEQUEL 3 Disney has killed Star Wars 1 Epic From The Very Beginning! 10 Waste of time 5 Worst movie ever !! Thank u disney for ruining star wars for me 1 Somewhat disappointed 6 A New-Age Sci-Fi Classic 8 Never had these mixed feelings after Star Wars 6 Best Star Wars movie since 1980 10 It was okay but like TFA feels a bit by the numbers 6 A near perfect star wars movie.....one of the best of this series...... 10 Johnson's fresh touch and Hamill's magnificent performance make for a film which is thrilling, clever, funny and heartbreaking at its best moments 8 This is not going to go the way you think. 10 Disappointing but at least it has good action. (Spoiler-free review) 7
averages to 5.6
That’s 19 reviews out of 52. I know, they only had 19 reviews up at the time so I totaled the scores and divided by 19. to get 5.6. Just ignore the score in imdb that says like 8.2 or whatever, that's not accurate.

That's a pretty low average, but usually the average for IMDb reviews can be extremely low. I averaged the 20 top reviews on IMDb for a few movies and look what I got: Schindler's List - 1.9 (this already shows me that these IMDb reviews have no value whatsoever) Interstellar - 5.2 The Force Awakens - 1.9 Django Unchained - 2.1 The Dark Knight Rises - 3.5 Blade Runner 2049 - 4.3 (just ridiculous) No Country for Old Men - 1.9 And this is the case with almost all popular movies. Schindler's List & No Country for Old Men both have a 1.9 average and they are amazing movies. Almost all of the IMDb reviews are either 10/10 or 1/10 and are mostly written by people who have very strong feelings concerning the movie and exaggerate in most cases (for example it's not as good as I thought it would be so I give it a 1/10). What I want to show is that the IMDb review average is usually very different from the IMDb rating and is a way worse representation of the general consensus.

Oh I just made a thread and complained about the humor also. This one didn't feel like a "Star Wars" film but felt like a Disney movie with some Star Wars characters. The one liner after one liner killed me and didn't work, the characters lacked chemistry and felt forced (including Leia and Luke together) and the script was awful.
The fast cuts to different characters didn't work and it felt messy and all over the place with no focus.
And don't get me started on Leia being Superman in disguise (I am speaking about that scene where she gets sucked out into space)

It’s definitrly a step towards prequel quality. I think I may have rated it too high... with each day that passes since seeing it the hate is growing stronger...

I never expected such a mixed audience response to this movie.

I never expected such a mixed audience response to this movie. I kind of did. It depends though. The diehard fans are no surprise as with any property.

All people I talked to in person loved TLJ or at least liked it. A significant number of them even called it one of their favorite Star Wars movies. None of them are die-hard SW fans though. I don't know if the hate is mostly present on the internet or if it's also the real general consensus of the movie. Someone who said TFA was a big disappointment called it a big improvement and what he wanted from episode 7.

Ok kids, so I’ve figured out the best way to describe the tone...
If you have ever seen the mtv movie awards where they do parodies of that years movies with the actual actors from said movies for cheap laughs. That’s the tone of the last Jedi

That’s the tone of the last Jedi I gotta say,this whole thing about it having a lot of humor is way off base. The Force Awakens had way more humor (and better humor).
