That's interesting.

You didn't like it?

WUT

100% disagree with this.

Solid 4/5. It simply feels and sounds like a Star Wars movie. A fun film experience. Where it excels: Tingly feeling in my pants every time they flip off TLJ. Unfiltered stupidity: Sith dagger. There is no excuse for this. Sith Wayfinder? Not a fan, but I don't hate it. While the editing may seem 'sloppy', on my 2nd viewing it seemed perfect. Very fast-paced but the scene-to-scene threads all made sense. My faith in Star Wars has been renewed. I will now watch The Amanda Lori And Who? and also continue playing Jedi: Fallen Order. I'm not a big fan of the fighting thru the Force kinda thing, or the teleportation of the lightsaber, but (again) I don't really hate it. I basically deducted 0.5 for the Sith Dagger and another 0.5 for every ship of the Imperial Fleet having a planet-killer cannon.

Solid 4/5.

Grader notes on 9.8s are a huge waste of time.

It looks kinda normal, but excessive compared to most cases I've seen.

Sounds like a monopoly to me...

Pressing wouldn't be a bad idea.

Technically, yes. The Anti-Monitor is kinda like Death, though. Physical embodiment of the Anti-Life Equation. Darkseid was defeated by Doomsday once. Not sure about "a few occasions". Darkseid beats his @$$ 9/10 times, though, probably.

New Gods is DC. Nothing to do with The Eternals.

S^&*. I'm an insufficiently_thoughtful_person. It was San Andreas where the black guy could swim. Not GTA 4.

GTA Vice City: White guy can't swim. GTA 4: ?????

Your avatar is disturbing and I blame you for any/all future nightmares.

It's short for "speculation".

Item is $205 no OBO...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you dingus. You're free to appreciate the "beauty" of women who look like men. No judgment...

Remember when Hulk snaps in Endgame, and you see Clint's wife calling, with that uplifting music? That scene had more depth than the entirety of TLJ. Barton's emotional reaction to his family being alive, the visually stunning brightness and optimism, and the score all combine to give you an absolute rise. It's then immediately torn down by Thanos' assault. Visual despair, emotional fear & curiosity, and the sound of war destroying everything.

Instead of, "oh that was a cool visual moment" during the light-speed sacrifice (which in and of itself makes no damn sense), it could have had emotional depth with Poe dying. A guy who was portrayed as willing to do anything necessary to give his team hope. They sacrificed storytelling for really dumb moments that lack multiple-dimensional impact. There's no thick substance behind anything of TLJ. Either it's PC trash, or visually cool, or a verbal message. Nothing overlaps. It's paper-thin carp and we deserved better.

Instead of setting up Purple Hair B to sacrifice her meaningless life for The Resistance, Poe could have had a meaningful moment (or Ackbar). Instead of setting up some out-of-Knowhere relationship between n00b Rose and Fin, Fin could have sacrificed his life to help save his friends. The characters setup in TFA, which was 50/50 old-and-new, didn't get their due. Instead, we get even more useless characters. Do something with the already-established characters that we're led to believe f^&*ing matter in this new trilogy.

The problem with TLJ is not that it is "original". The problem is that it flat-out does nothing for any characters - old or new. Luke gets peed on. Leia turns into Mary Poppins. Rey is still Mary Sue. Ben is still angry about everything. The entire plot of the movie is 'float in space, create an unnecessary mutiny and meaningless side quest' and then...? It answers nothing and sets-up even less. How or why did anyone think this would make for interesting cinema, let alone a good Star Wars title...?

I turned it off after 10 mins, though, because it's trash.
