Welcome to the Internet, where it's either the GOAT or the worst thing ever.

I am thoroughly confused.

I'm an OT era, hard core SW fan and I loved it. Absolutely loved it. My buddy that I saw it with, same.

My brother who is also a lifelong hardcore fan loved it.

Everyone I know personally that has seen it loved it.

The only place I'm seeing hate is the internet.


This.

It was a good not great movie. The only real place I am seeing hate for it is the typical internet trolls like we are seeing here.

Did it have issues sure...but mostly people are butt hurt because the plot didn't go the direction they were hoping for.

The fun part is watching all the crying over a "fiction" movie.

It's like the director and writers read too much into fan theories about the last jedi, and then they tried too hard to throw curve balls based on that.

The most glaring one was Leia. I mean Carrie Fisher is dead in real life so the prevailing fan theory is she dies in this movie. NOPE. We can't let the fans be right on anything! She's still alive! We killed luke instead!

What a fricking joke.

I don't know about trolls, these people seem like they're in a pretty bad place mentally because the movie wasn't to their liking

A lot of it has to do with denial. I have a hardcore star wars fan cousin that to this day still refuses to admit that the prequels were not good star wars movies. He also defends lucas making changes to the original trilogy on bluray. He chalks it up to lucas creative license.

ANH was a solid star wars movie, rogue one was solid to very good. This movie was just straight up BAD and cheapens the original trilogy characters in the worst ways possible.

I agree. It was as if they tried for the opposite of fan service instead of just making a good movie.

The movie is a piece of trash with so many stupid moments that it’s almost impossible to list them. From the very first exchange of Poe to the Coca Cola commercial that was the ending.

IT WAS UTTER TRASH

That’s what I mean. It’s so freaking weird. I have talked personally to 5 or 6 friends/family that have seen it and every single one was over the moon about it like I was.

The movie wasn't completely terrible.

But the whole plot and the ships chasing each other is such shite it's hard to take the movie serious.

Plus the Finn/Rose detour was pointless.

That being said it was an ok movie, but the high ratings on this movie is just paid shills.

Yeah, I kept telling myself, well there is no way they bring back Leia, so Luke has to make it.


And then they decide to keep a terrible character who hasn't been interesting since she got out of that bikini. The actress cannot act for shite, and now they will have to use CGI just to kill her when they could have given her a perfectly good death in the beginning of the movie.

That's cool. Different strokes for different folks. My family and friends feel differently, and the packed theater I was in was noticeably unenthusiastic.

Did you like Leia flying though space? Did you think Luke's death was well-handled? Did you enjoy the casino Planet subplot, particularly given its ultimate uselessness and the fact that the Admiral should have simply told Poe the plan? Are you glad that people now wield the force more powerfully than ever before with less training? If you answered yes to all of these, good for you, we simply disagree.

Yep. Disney paying so their sjw fest looks good. Sad

I am a person who truly believes men are better than women.

But it didn't have a huge SJW feel outside of the casino. Wasn't too bad, just not needed.

SJW?

This word has been overused so much it's lost all meaning. It's like the right's version of NAZI




They dedicate like 50 fricking minutes of the movie talking about the patriarchy, animal cruelty, weapon sales, and rich people. If that's not SJW, I don't know what is.

There was nothing about patriarchy and the rest isn't SJW talking points

Really? It seems that everyone in administrative roles in the Resistance are women, and everyone (save for Phasma) is male in the First Order.

Did Disney pay all those Star Wars Fans too? I didn't get my paycheck

It has the lowest audience score OF ANY Star Wars installment

Doesn't speak too highly of there actually being "all those Star Wars fans", does it?
