Got to try the new Star Wars ride at Disney World yesterday. Really incredible what they pulled off on an absolutely absurd scale, highly recommend it. I believe it's opening at Disneyland soon as well.

Of your 58,013 posts this might be the worst. Just consider the simplicity attainable by jettisoning your contention that the SJW stuff is not in the movie. Suddenly everyone's behaviour makes sense without needing a conspiracy. I know we've had our disagreements in Politics and please no politarding ITT but you at least know I'm not thick and I'm telling you: that **** is 100% in the movie.

Like consider this if nothing else: if I think it's in the movie, whatever percentage of the population is to the right of me, SJW-wise, 100% thinks that's in the movie.

Before I hit up YouTube later in the week, has anyone found a good recap video yet that they like?

You didn't even include rose saving finn (i think those are their names) by suicide crashing into his salt glider!

Man what a terrible scene.

Imagine seeing female protagonists and calling it SJW material

Imagine

so premier was last night. starting to see some reactions on twitter etc.
sounds like this will be better than TLJ, but beyond that, who knows.
Also every positive tweet is "big" "JJ really went for it" kind of thing. Negative is "convoluted" and "bogged down".
Based on some of the tweets and leaked spoilers, it sounds liek there is just a ton jammed into this movie. Sounds like the conclusion is pretty good, its just a lot to actually get there.
i dunno, we'll see....

If the leaked plot is true, it sounds terrible. Like GOT season 8 terrible.

The leaked plot sounds meh, but then I doubt the script for ANH reads well either. It's therefore in the execution to some extent, but I agree there are some questionable decisions in this movie right off the bat, such as bringing Palpatine back that are going to affect how this movie is received.

I heard that in the last scene you find out that Chewbacca dreamt the whole thing.

Keep in mind that critics gave The Last Jedi a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The Audience gave it 43%


I wouldn't put much faith in these leaks.

This. Any "reviews" coming out right now are coming from paid shills, just like last time.

There's really only so much they can do at this point.

Bringing back Sheev should already make it better than TLJ, although even that might **** with Anakin's redemption story.

Looking far worse than TLJ right now!

I'm too lazy to do it, but in order to get a clearer picture you'd have to juxtapose the negative reviews with what the respective critic thought of TLJ. If most of them loved it, we might be in for an OK movie after all.

Or we just wait a few days and see what actual people think of the film.

Or how about if Chewbacca just turned out to be Yoda in a gorilla costume.

Saw it this morning and I would describe it as a long expensive but pretty Scooby-Doo episode.
I hated less than tlj but was wondering if it was better or worse than episode 1 2 3.

I think they should fill the next death star with light sabers. That way, when they exploit thew weakness in the core and blow it up, it explodes like a pinata full of glowing space swords.

So who is actually going to buy a ticket to this movie?
I have no issue with waiting until I can watch on my TV at home legal or otherwise.

I thought it'd have to be really ****ing bad for me not to at least see it on a lazy weekend in January, but I can feel myself getting less and less enthusiastic by the moment. May very well wind up seeing it on the big screen but it's probably a coinflip at this point.

Opened up at 57% from critics on rottentomatoes, oof. And a lot of the "fresh" reviews look like the 6/10 or 3/5 variety.

If you plan two see it a big screen is the way to go if not don't watch it at all cause at least it looks good.

Just saw it. Relatively spoilerfree thoughts below (I don't discuss anything specific, just my general thoughts).

It makes sense that it's a polarizing movie. People who nit about inconsistencies in the Star Wars universise will probably hate it, because there are quite a few of inconsistencies. The execution of everything is typically Disney, people who are tired of that will probably also not like it. People who don't like the new movies will find it more annoying than VII but less annoying than VIII. I'm also convinced that critics are giving it a hard time because of the public reaction to VIII, it's a movie that is so much better than VIII.

The story is very safe but I wasn't annoyed with the twists or reveals, and didn't feel at all like they rushed something. Could they have made pacing better if they didn't make such a mess of VIII and spread some of the story over 2 movies? Definetely . Also think the movie could've been better if they made it 30 minutes longer and added some extra stuff (wont go into detail now).

The action scenes are amazing and definetely make it worth watching in theaters.

I didn't think anything was weird, out of place, or useless, which is a huge step up from VIII.
There are multiple stupid lines of dialogue, but there were only 2 that I remember now that really annoyed me.

Some plot choices or events will annoy people, like things that happened in VIII. I think none of them are as bad as the stuff they did in VIII. And those things mostly built further on those things that happened in VIII, so it's at least consistent with VIII .

There's a lot of fan service but wasn't annoyed by that all. Way less extreme than the fan service in VII imo.

I recently posted my ranking:

V>VII>VI>IV>Rogue One>III>VIII>Solo>I>II

I still haven't rewatched VIII (was planning on watching VII or VIII before watching IX on Sunday, but was unexpectedly invited to watch it tonight). I think it's likely I will move down VIII after rewatching it. Right now, I want to rank IX somewhere below VI but above VIII. I really like all movies I ranked above VIII.

I am still going to watch it with another group on Sunday and am already certain now that I wont be bored or annoyed watching it a 2nd time.

I have emotional reactions to movies quite easily, but I got goosebumps and felt myself tearing up multipe times, which is way above average for my average movie experience.

tl;dr: Not the best Star Wars movie ever, SIGNIFICANTLY better than VIII. Worth to watch it in theatres for the action scenes alone.
I'm still disappointed in the new trilogy since I thought VII was an amazing movie, but right now I want to say that IX washed away the bad of VIII for me personally.

Thanks bbfg, that gives me at least a little hope. Although I rank TFA at least 3 spots lower than you do so I'm not sure we see the new trilogy the same way.

All these bad reviews should have accompanied The Force Awakens. There's nothing more safe or fan service-y than that thinly veiled remake of the original movie.
