Because he thinks a bad movie is bad?

I actually really did enjoy the movie as a summer popcorn flick on the level of Michael Bay’s Transformers.

If that’s what they set out to do, they knocked it out of the park.

If they were trying to set up a coherent Star Wars story that fit the lore they crapped the bed.

I can agree with this. Though I would never submit popcorn to such a thing either. A solid Raisinettes flick maybe?

If Snoke’s giant whatever the frick that thing was couldn’t destroy them then how was the Dreadnought?

Also can I ask why they had to pull their TIE fighters back? “We can’t support you” who the frick cares? Kylo already destroyed all of their fighters and the ships’ canons appeared woefully ineffective.

Yeah "We can't cover you"?! Like the evil Empire gives a single shite about that. They'd say get your arse back out there, and if you don't, then Kylo Ren will chop you in half. Vader didn't give a frick when it came to entire Star Destroyers sending them into an asteroid field after the Millennium Falcon.

Hi everyone! I'm sure that this has been a fairly positive thread, and I hate to bring it down, but I sure had some problems with this movie.

1. The physics of no-gravity space. I'm not sure that Rian has ever taken a science class. The idea that bombs could fall in space and bombers could fall absolutely killed the movie for me. However, I was willing to suspend some disbelief, because surely, the movie would pivot.

2. The Resistance. I mean, what a bunch of freaking idiots. "Let's hide all of our true intentions from each other so that most of our fighters die. Then, after most of them die, we will have the smug look on our faces knowing that we knew better the whole time." Get your shite together. There's 12 of you left. You deserve to lose.

3. The First Order - I don't actually have a problem with the First Order's battle plans. Sure there were better plans, but the ego of Hux and Snoke stopped them from thinking of a better plan. They enjoyed their opponents' slow demise too much. It was hard to suspend disbelief that the First Order wouldn't just shoot all of the Resistance's ships as soon as possible and wipe them out. It was silly more than anything.

4. Rose - I've never seen a more blatant example of a SJW trope in the history of movies. She was a ridiculous addition to the movie who a. ruined any appeal Finn had as a character b. prohibited Finn from sacrificing for the cause and adding some real stakes to the film c. was just awful the whole time.

5. Gambling Town - I mean...come on. That was so freaking dumb.

6. Holdo - what an idiot. What an idiot.

7. Snoke - overall, what a waste of what could have been a cool character and cool reveal. He was SOOO blinded by ego that he couldn't see what Kylo was doing? Come on. That's ridiculous. Also, that was it? That was the "big bad?" Wow, Emperor>>>>Snoke

8. Luke dying - unnecessary and doesn't add much to the next movie. Why the obsession with force ghosts, which Luke will obviously show up as next movie? They are great and all, but why not have Luke actually die in a battle with Kylo in the next movie or this one? It was a cool "trick" but then him just passing on was ridiculously stupid.

9. Placeholder - movie started and ended in the same place. we're still looking for a base for the resistance, but now, it's just way, way worse off.

There's more, but I'm getting too pissed to think about them.

+1000 with your last two posts

Poe is an idiot. He's an absolute idiot, but he's enabled by his handlers and commanders. They reveal nothing to him forcing him to have to act. He may act rashly and stupidly, but there's no reason for Holdo to not tell him what her plan is.

Hux definitely doesn't care about the fighter pilots, why would he? Why would Kylo? I mean, send them like kamikazes? Who cares? You've got a bajillion fighters, just let them do their freaking job.

Also, did anyone else find the lasers from Snoke's ship curving really weird? At first I was like maybe I was just looking weird, but not, I was watching lasers, in space, be "lobbed" at a ship

Apparently there is gravity in space

You are a moron if you believe this. If the only problem was the direction of the story, one would be able to argue that it's a matter of opinion. My opinion is the story line sucked.

The writing for this movie is completely broken on every single level. They broke so many established rules of writing it's not even funny. So what you have left is a incompetent piece of writing that also completely veers away from where it should be, and is broken from the basic fundamentals of writing.
