It's very subtle. But once it flashes, you'll want one too. At a Walmart, Target or K-Mart near you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Cataldo Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I've already seen a number of people that hated it say it's not as bad on the second viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still better than anything in TFA or TLJ. And for all the hate on the prequels, especially episode 2, The last 20 minutes of Attack of the Clones (Battle of Geonosis) is much better than anything the mouse has out. Duel of Fates in Episode 1 better than anything mouse has out.. Prequels are amazing compared to new movies. George Lucas should have never sold out. worst decision ever.

This movie from an arc perspective for Rey is a melding of ESB and ROTJ, and is similar in tone. I felt Poe got a lot of good developement ( despite weaknesses in the sroryline), and Kylo's arc was the most solid and fleshed out. The movie has clear flaws, especially when you start picking at it. Just not truly understanding the visceral hate coming from a small but loud group. But a do see the points where it has arisen from. I have not seen the Last Jedi yet, I am going on Monday. I am going into it with low expectations, and I am hoping to see an entertaining film. The Force Awakens did not deliver for me because I had seen the movie before. Simply changing the names and locations of a film just isn't enough for me. I came out of that film wondering why Disney would pay billions of dollars to acquire a franchise and then the first movie they make is a rehash. szucchini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or forcing yourself to be numb to the first viewing because they would hate to turn their back on Star Wars. Where else would they go for the same stories at this point? Other than rewatching the old movies, which they most probably do already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comix4fun Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) I've always felt, all the way back to the prequels (prequels failed massively), as long they preserve the feel, spirit, tone and continuity of the characters and events as they've evolved through the films and story I won't have a problem with any particular plot or story ideas they choose to run with. That's a pretty big caveat to be sure, but not one that should be hard to abide by if you have filmmakers who respect the source material enough to keep their own egos and personalities secondary to the greater established Star Wars universe. Don't change a character's motivations simply to forward the chosen plot. Don't alter a character's evolution, intelligence, or decision making to do the same. Don't change the tone of storytelling to the point where it's not Star Wars anymore. If filmmakers want to make Spaceballs II, then they should go make Spaceballs II. If they want to make a Star Wars film there's room in the SW universe to tell rich, enveloping stories that also don't sell out the past, or alter the overall tenor to the point where it's Star Wars in name only.

fmaz Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Went with my wife and our college-age son. He called it his favorite Star Wars movie. Makes sense to me, because it's the best Star Wars saga movie of HIS lifetime. Wife and I enjoyed it just fine, but... you know. We were both teenagers in the 70's so nothing will ever replace the original trilogy. As for the hate? I'm sorry, but it's all based off the fact that NO Star Wars fan will ever admit that ANY movie is as good as the version they would have made if the world was smart enough to realize they should have been given complete control of the franchise. Objectively, this is a really well done, good movie. Now, do I wish they they made some different choices ... of course, because MY VERSION of this movie would have been AWESOME! But if you enjoy Star Wars, and you want to see Mark Hamil killing it as Luke Skywalker one more time... the movie delivers.

media_junkie Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Saw the 10:30am showing this morning. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 at best. bane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punksdropdirtysrh Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I know I’m not a true Star Wars fan because...I truly enjoyed the Phantom Menace. But that movie came out when I was 9. Had a blast at the theater, got a light saber and a Lego pod racer for Xmas. Years later I notice most Star Wars fans hate that movie. It feels like a shame to say I enjoyed it. Obviously it’s always a matter of opinion. But it goes to show that The Last Jedi can still become a fan favorite for younger viewers. Phantom Menace is on TNT right now. I still enjoy watching it. I enjoyed Jar Jar Binks. The Pod races were cool as hell. Loved little Darth Vader. Loved Darth Maul. Qui gon. Young Obi. I almost enjoy praising it just to spite those that spit all over it. However Attack of the Clones was very meh. Revenge was 8/10. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
