Let's just say the problem with THE LAST JEDI, other than trying too hard for quick-wit humor (another film suffering from Tony Starkasm), is also what makes you exit the theater with a "grouchy Luke Skywalker finally snaps out of it and comes around" smile....
The third act is such a fulfilling visual treat, combining yesteryear's daring-do heroics with pre MATRIX era slow-mo combative fights, you'll soon forget (or not want to think about) the many scenes that wind up bland, pointless, unrealized: For example, so many times, so much happens at once, batted about from a handful of characters, that Johnson never stays in one place/perspective long enough for it to really matter on its own: What's made to work for the audience often robs from the characters. Like running towards an obstacle and then, the next moment, winding up on the other side — it's the middle-ground that keeps being denied: Though neatly replaced by enough cool twists and turns to make THE LAST JEDI walk... no, run... a fine line between pretty good and good enough.
