I liked it too.

Some people are just looking for something to be offended by

nope, there are a bunch of miserable fricks on this board. Most of the time they actually DO like the movies but it's much cooler to say you didn't.

The cool kids run this place. if they say it was bad then it was bad an that's it.

Yes.

Apparently, whether you like a bad movie or not determines how miserable you are in real life.

It’s not hot in July because we say it is.

It’s hot in July because it is

This movie isn’t bad because we say it is.

It’s bad because it is.

I don't get any of the SJW angles anyone is coming up with at all.


Did you fall asleep for the 45 minutes+ of the film that was Rose/Finn? Casino planet political manifesto ringing any bells?

How did you not get the SJW angle?! It’s obvious in the casino the intergalactic space aliens had higher stacks of chips than the humans. Pandering on its simplest form to coddle the aliens.

It’s amusing to me. More often than not the ones on TD that are quick to call people snowflakes for complaining are the same ones that cry about how a movie had too many women or minorities in leading roles.

That does happen here. In this case, it's not what is going on. Way too many outside articles saying the same exact thing. The biggest problems can be stated in three names with zero discussion of any SJW crap: Snoke, Rey, Luke. Two of the best characters in the whole series and one with lots of potential ruined by a writer who either didn't pay attention to the previous movies, or is so mentally deranged that he took it upon himself to write a story that makes zero sense in the universe that was built before.

while i thought that story line ran a bit long - what was SJW about it?

ETA: like i said in my first post; movie was about 30 - 45 minutes long. a lot of Finn/Rose could have been cut to make the movie shorter. Finn is a terrible character with some of the worst lines ever and it didn't really make sense that he beat Phasma in a one on one battle.

Rose, directly, brings up class conflict and the rich profiting off slave labor and war

"They are the worst people in the galaxy".

Really? I've seen much worse on Jakku and Tatooine.

They are such terrible people that you don't save the slave children, you just save those animals that will just get re-captured the next day?

I basically enjoyed watching it because it was Star Wars but I can objectively see why many people wouldn’t enjoy it.

The SJW stuff wouldn’t have bothered nearly as many people if they had been subtle about it, but it was in your face all of the time. Subtlety is your friend Hollywood!

Edit: I guess they can’t really be subtle if they expect all of their audience to be mouth breathers though...

rich vs poor has been a plot point in story telling for most of human existence. i don't see that as SJW.

that said i didn't care much for that part of the movie. i would have preferred a 2 hour movie with less Finn/Rose.

That was the exact parallel

Instead of the grimy Outpost, it was a glitzy casino

Instead of the dirty "other" it was the fabulous looking rich people

This was the 2017 mos eisley for the new Star Wars universe

Anyone who disagrees is either really dumb, has an agenda, or is being paid to praise TLJ

I actually liked TLJ and didn't have a problem with it like most people here.

However, the Finn/Rose stuff was unbelievably bad and ham-fisted with the 1% nonsense.
