Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Firstly I realize that some of you genuinely liked the movie and that's perfectly fine. But berating others for hating it and accusing them of being sexist, angry man-children who are mad because the movie didn't go their way is just silly and incredibly immature. I went into this movie not knowing what to expect but excited non the less and I came away from it hating everything with the words "Star Wars" and "Disney" on it. While I didn't love The Force Awakens, I did like all the new characters introduced. In The Last Jedi however I couldn't stand any of them. The conflicted but cool Kylo Ren was now a confusing and annoying brat and the competent General Hux was now a disrespected cartoon villain. The very likable Po was now a hot headed idiot and the incredibly interesting ex-stormtrooper Finn was just...just there. Then there's Rey, a character who I actually found endearing in TFA but was completely insufferable in TLJ. She goes to Luke Skywalker for training despite already knowing just about every force technique there is with absolutely no effort on her part. Instead she spends most of the film scolding Luke son-of-Darth-Vader Skywalker who is now a weak, grumpy, selfish, disappointing shell of what he use to be. One of the most iconic and loved characters of all time known for their bravery, optimism, kindness and determination is relegated to being a useless coward sucking down green alien jizz on an island in the middle of nowhere. And for what? So that expectations can be subverted? So Rey can look better than him while replacing him? Which leads me to something else I hated about these new Star Wars movies. Wasted Potential. Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and the rest, all together for the first and last time in a Star Wars movie...and they wasted it. Not a single scene is shared with these iconic characters all together and thanks to Carrie's death, that will never happen. Han dies in TFA without ever meeting Luke or even Lando. Lando Calrissian is a no show and a no mention whatsoever and Admiral Ackbar is killed off dismissively in the background. Seriously I've seen red shirts die with more fanfare. What was even the point of bringing back these old characters? This movie left me utterly drained of all enthusiasm for everything Star Wars. I don't care about episode 9, the Solo movie, or even the games (which is another mess). I've never actually hated a movie before. I've been bored by them, I've been annoyed by them, but never felt full on hate. I hate The Last Jedi.
