re: A Critique of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Video Review)

I personally don't think RLM will be as harsh with The Last Jedi as you guys think. Rian Johnson is a fan of their channel and I doubt they go as rough on Johnson's film as they did on the prequels.

They know Kevin Smith watches their channel, and they tear him apart. They show a bit of reservation for Max Landis, who has done their channel great favors, but that’s it.

That said with their HitB, they gave it their most damning statement they could: they don’t give a single shite about Episode IX thanks to this movie. I really think that’s the worst thing you can say about the movie is “it made me not give a single shite about the sequel”.

The fact of the matter is, while TLJ looks better than the prequels and features better acting, it is actually inferior to just about all three of them in terms of everything else.

I still think AotC is worse, and TPM is entirely pointless... which the later is better than what we got. It is worse than Episode I. Agreed.

The story, once you start thinking about it on a logical level, falls apart completely. It almost destroys whatever good will the franchise built back up with TFA and Rogue One and makes me feel indifferent for whatever comes in Episode IX.

As said, it’s the worst thing you can say about it.

If this Solo stand alone film is as bad as everyone thinks it will be, who knows what Disney will do with the franchise going forward?

Ummm, let JJ redo Episode VIII to not be an SJW, Maoist, mindless shitshow. They’re still young. Just bite the bullet and say we fricked up.
