The movie sucks hard, but it makes for mildly amusing background noise if you’ve got a good meal and a couple beers to accompany it. Just sell them on dinner being the primary reason for going.

Figured I would start the thread for the next and final chapter of the Skywalker saga. Try to keep discussion of Episode 8 out of it (hint the debate) unless it is linked to Episode 9 discussion. Remember kiddies... rumors are fun... spoilers are bad. Sorry. When I clicked on the thread and read this, I had to laugh. Thank goodness The Last Jedi is in our rearview mirror, right?

Drummy Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Seems appropriate that we’re on page 86 of this thread! Oh, and I give ROS a C+. Strong visuals and set pieces at times, and the actors did well with the -script they were given...but I didn’t like how much of the film involved fetch quests, massive plot conveniences, a lack of stakes, and almost zero setup in previous films for major plot points, maguffins, and characters such as Palpatine.

If the average fan thinks this is an 8.5/10 movie, then I'm not going to disagree with them. It's somewhere above a 6 and below a 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much appreciate many Disney productions. But this is obvious market manipulation to counter the decreasing critic score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unconvinced - only because it aligns with TLJ's Critics vs Audience. Critics love TLJ and hate TROS. Audience hates TLJ and likes TROS. Just makes sense to me.

Audience hates TLJ and likes TROS. Just makes sense to me. Here's an example how even the smallest of deviations from a trend shifts the average. Now imagine that in the thousands occurring each day, and balancing it against the mixed responses occurring over the finale's story handling and changes to the previous films. The probability this would bounce around over each day is much more reasonable than a steady daily 86%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter to me as long as it's fairly representative of how good the movie actually is - which I think that 86% is fair. It's clear to me that the critics have no idea what Star Wars is.

fantastic_four Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Why are Star Wars fans more prone to hyperbole than Marvel and DC fans? When people were unhappy with something like Batman vs. Superman I don't recall reactions quite as extreme as "I'LL NEVER BE HAPPY AGAIN." I guess it's because of the infrequency with which they're released. But with the cartoons being so spectacular, and now the Mandalorian being great, I don't get that kind of reaction with Rise of Skywalker. Plenty of other Star Wars content to turn to now that wasn't an option 15+ years ago aside from the Dark Horse comics and various novels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperheart Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 this crowd-pleasing episode falling further and further behind TLJ after $9.2MM day 14; even if it manages to hit $40MM weekend estimate will be roughly $65MM behind TLJ after day 18 (when holiday season is over). TLJ & Rogue One did $98MM & 92MM additionally after end of holiday corridor, IF ROS can match that looking at $550MM+/- finish. IF 50/50 split holds, then $1.1BB WW. At this point, $1.2BB seems like a giant reach. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 RoS's domestic total is currently 10.3% lower compared to The Last Jedi by Day 14. Same-day results by Day 14, The Last Jedi was 52.8% higher. Time will tell if this trend continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
