In general I think there are 4 approximate groups of people when it comes to The Last Jedi. The group that really likes it (i’m in this bucket). The group that thinks its a fun action movie but doesn’t push any of its interesting choices enough(you seem to be in this bucket). A group of irate star wars fans who hate it and review bombed the shit out of it. and people that dislike it because its a somewhat basic blockbuster with bad pacing. I think the existence of that third group, and at least in online spaces it isn’t remotely small, shows the movie was pushed about as far as it could be for the 8th entry in a big bucket movie franchise.

I guess I’m the fourth. I can’t say that I liked the movie, but imo it got more hate than it deserved and it’s the best of the trilogy
