Such sweet irony. Exactly. If it’s such a waste of time, why is he wasting his time telling everyone? And if it’s such a waste of time, why should he have to tell everyone? Truth is, he’s one of these pompous forum blowhards that think they lord over everyone and have the final say. If anyone has their knickers in a bunch it’s him. HE’S the one jumping into a conversation to tell us we shouldn’t be having it. Like who TF is this guy? mattn792 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) The Last Jedi was the worst movie that I've ever payed money to see. It's up there with Punisher: War Zone, which I didn't get past the first 10 minutes, because of how bad it is. Edit: As far as Episode IX is concerned, JJ Abrams is directing, and Mark Hamill is considering appearing (despite previously saying that he's done with Star Wars). There is faith...

I like pie Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 You guys ares till talking about this turd of a movie? Just let it go. It was enough for me that the people involved lost a potential $1B. It's nonsense to believe Disney has the mindset that VII made $2B when only expected to make $1B, so it's ok VIII only made $1B. They don't save it in a "disappointments bank" for withdrawals. mattn792 and Harley Troy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that time that I bought a book for $0.50 and I hoped to sell it for $2, but I only sold it for $1 and I cried and cried and my shareholders just gave up.

You can shrug off losing a potential dollar. A bit harder to swallow 1 billion. I don't think anyone is losing their job but they certainly weren't popping the champagne corks off.

Unless they had already spent that additional billion dollars like Enron or something, there never was another billion and there's no damage from not getting the extra billion. If they spent $500M and made $1B then this "loser" of a movie still did a lot better than Disney's standard 15% ROI. https://csimarket.com/stocks/DIS-Return-on-Investment-ROI.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantastic_four Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) The definition of bias is comparing Episode VII's box office to Episode VIII's box office knowing that Episode V was a dropoff from IV and II was a dropoff from I. Everyone knew it would be a dropoff, the question was how much. Turns out the international dropoff from VII to VIII adjusted for inflation was about the same as the other two trilogies.

RedRaven Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I would just like to see a well done sci-fi movie. Don't care about much else. Rogue One fit the bill. The first decent Star Wars movie since Empire. Still waiting for the next. I like pie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantastic_four Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) I like all three prequels, particularly Revenge of the Sith. Most people seemed bored by the focus on Palpatine's political maneuvering, but I enjoyed it. And I REALLY love Ian McDiarmid's acting as Palpatine. It was slightly melodramatic, but it mostly worked well for that character. My favorite two moments in ALL the films are still Darth Maul vs. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gonn and Yoda vs. Dooku. Third is Vader clearing out that hallway at the end of Rogue One. Edited September 5, 2018 by fantastic_four SkOw and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get how some people in here can't understand this. It's clear as day, and was even clearer to Disney before E8 was even released. There's zero disappointment.

I expect that both Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson aren't looking at it quite that way. Both are definitely pleased with the critical response but would prefer to silence as many of the hardcore fans as possible. Having said that, they're acutely aware they will never fully achieve that having watched fans pummel Lucas relentlessly for a full decade of the prequels.
