I guess I'm not a big enough geek

Because I just got back from seeing The Last Jedi with my eight year old and absolutely loved it. Thought is was great!


ETA: So of course some of my responses on this thread were sarcastic.
But I think a good bit of y'all missed my point.
I was entertained. I thought the visual effects and sound were spectacular. I thought there are some good laughs. I actually enjoyed the movie. I'm not a "Star Wars Geek" so I guess I didn't really care about the other stuff you all seem to be complaing about.
I went and had a good time seeing an entertaining movie with my son. Nothing more

Couldn’t put this in one of the other 10 threads?

To be fair, most people aren’t geeks. It’s just become a fad to call yourself one cause of garbage shows like Big Bang Theory.

I am actually really glad your 8 year old liked it. Despite what all these dudes say on here, Star Wars is meant to be magical for the children first

I’m not a geek and thought it was garbage

But can totally see it being fun for kids.

The fact that you had to create a new thread to proclaim your happiness of this film, suggests an insecurity about it not really being that good

So all of those folks that started threads to bash it are just insecure that it's not really that bad?

I actually thought it was one of the top 5 films I've ever seen. Up there with Goodfellas and Caddyshack for me

Does throwing your kid in makes your opinion more validated?

Well, when you look at the number of positive threads and comments, as opposed to those that disliked it. Its hard to imagine feeling insecure when surrounded by so many that share the same sensibilities

Probably more insecure to seek approval where you are almost guaranteed to get it.

Proud to say I haven't seen one Star Wars movie.
