The Last Jedi - Not rated very good by the fans and people .

Exactly this. Nailed it.

Yep. Even more compelling point. And they just bought FORTY PERCENT of the market. Forty percent win Fox's holdings, but you know the Disney machine will be able to streamline that into 50% in no time. They've already tried blacklisting critics and imposing onerous restrictions on theaters and consumers. What's next?

I've heard that this is one massive mindf*ck of a 'Star Wars' film. Is this actually true?

It introduces and then subverts just about every trope the series has become known for. It also touches on a lot of issues such as the Jedi Order's screw-ups during the prequel trilogy. And while The Force Awakens had the New Republic and First Order reenacting the Rebels vs. Empire struggle, this film has them breaking away from how things were done in the original trilogy and finding their own answers to solving their problems. At this point, its broken away from the nostalgia recreation from the previous and its off to do its own thing now.

Indeed, but don't go in expecting perfection. This is NOWHERE CLOSE to being a perfect film. There are flaws, but I didn't personally feel any of them were deal-breakers. I felt like there was enough good here to keep it enjoyable.

I have to disagree with him on that front. The weakest point for me was Purple-Haired Laura Dern vs. Poe Dameron. You'll understand when you see it.

Yeah, this is love it or hate it. No in between this time around.

Last Jedi is a different story. And if you're familiar Rian Johnson, you'll recognize his language. It is very much intact.

Christ, I was trying to block out the purpled haired hag.

As much as I hate to say it, this felt like the most soulless thing I've ever seen from Star Wars. While I still enjoyed it, mostly Poe and Kylo, it felt really off to me. This is coming from someone who has never rated any Star Wars media negatively. (Just to confirm, I've never actually watched the holiday special, which I'm sure I'd trash)

Maybe not paid. But I truly believe some of them are intellectually dishonest with themselves. I just don’t believe these Disney movies consistently get these extremely high scores while audiences clearly felt different in this case. This movie is divisive yet the critics act like it was incredible. Most all criticism is swept under the rug quickly and they dont linger on it. I’m not sure if it’s nostalgia, scared of their fan base, scared of Disney not letting them come to the next premiere. But something is definitely off man.

Go look at the screen junkies “review”. It’s a 20 minute video of them dancing around the fact they might be disappointed. I never see critics do this with other films. 

I respect people liking it, but ALL the critics? Something doesn’t sit right. This movie had the lowest audience score of any SW to date.
