It was a steaming pile. Terribly structured, no discernible plot, and horrendous character development.

What is the Movie board consensus on this one?

Not to mentio absolutely dreadful acting and even worse script. Some of those lines would have made even the biggest Disney movie fan shake his head.

Yeah, I just watched it over the weekend of the 4th. I have to agree, it was pretty damn bad. Fortunately for me I wasn't expecting much, and was mainly interested in the CGI battle sequences.

Lucas is really, really, shitty...

It looked like it was, why did you want to see it?

One of the things that screamed huge pile of steaming shite of a movie, was the fact that they were playing techno music during the dogfights in the trailer.

I called that as soon as I saw the first preview. I refuse to watch it. Tuskeegee Airmen is already a fantastic movie. This movie looked shameful.

I saw it in the theaters and thought it was okay. Wasn't as white guilt-y as I thought it would be which was good. All of the old blue hairs Canadians wouldn't stop talking to the damn screen during the movie, but whatever.

Also, Lucas just produced the movie, he didn't write (don't believe he did this) or direct (know he didn't do this) it. His studio/production crew at LucasFilm was involved in the production, but outside of that Lucas had no involvement in this movie.

I was hoping it would be a good movie. But it was awful. I was streaming it on my computer and I exited out of the widow with about a half an hour left, didnt even bother finishing it
