GeneticNinja Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I don't know if it's funny or sad that Abrams is responsible for the bad state of both Star Trek and Star Wars. Profitable movies but both series are basically going to be over for a bunch of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalPSI Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I dunno how anyone can even take internet rating seriously. It's like a gallop poll, useless.

But RT has always been a poor benchmark. Based on what? Studios have been caught counter-rating critic results through the audience score boosts. Just like fanatic trolls have used this area to attack films (The Last Jedi, Captain Marvel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drotto Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) The movie was OK. It was much better than I expected, but my expectations were low. It was my favorite of the Disney Trilogy movies. Rogue One is still my favorite Disney Star Wars movie. I give it a 6.5 out of 10. There are a few plot points that do not sit well with me and how they effect the OT, as well as much of the plot and moments from the film were clearly recycled from the OT.

Rogue One was a nice surprise. I have the Mondo poster from that one and the Hot Toys Jyn figure. I remember people saying how if the Emperor was a clone or had clones, that would be bad for Vader's redemption. But now, the Emperor is back. Seems like those old books and comics weren't that bad after all. I keep thinking that they decided that those old comics and books are now unofficial for this.

However, since I am not a fanboy, this is all I expect, a popcorn movie. However, I do feel bad for the hardcore fans, they deserve better. Hell, they've paid a lot more in merchandise and box office than I ever have. Here's hoping that one day, art will return to the big screen and money is the after thought ADAMANTIUM and tv horror 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozmo-One Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Saw it tonight and loved it. Will be seeing it again at the theater. Visuals were fantastic and I actually enjoyed the story and how it wrapped up the saga. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like pie Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I liked it as well. That's saying a lot, considering how much I disliked TLJ. It wasn't perfect but I knew it was going to be hard to clean up after Johnson in under 3 hours. You could almost watch 7, skip 8 and watch 9 and not miss much and have a better experience.

Bosco685 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 For a Star Wars film, a B+ says much about audience reaction. And for a Disney big budget film of a long-running franchise. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
