yeah, i came across a little bit hot and personal on that, which i (almost, but too slow for kinja edit) immediately realized and was not my intention. i would however stand by my point that clinton’s issues are hardly limited to her pervasive racist comments- her attacks on her husbands accusers (which are all the…

One of the things that occurred to me upon exiting the theater was that I couldn’t remember any names of any of the new characters and locations... there was purple hair girl, asian girl, casino looking planet, hacker guy, salt planet, etc, etc. I think this is down to nothing really ever having time to develop any…

i’m not sure that holding hillary clinton to the standard of ‘she was better than donald trump’ is exactly the best look for her either.

he should get a second one from her speech where she calls black children ‘super predators.’ really match the set

This movie...this is not a good movie. TLJ, you suck.

Not at all what I am saying. Only that now, the small details are just extra salt in the wound that the new, galactic-sized ones are making.

My audience felt completely let down by the “twist” with Luke. They absolutely cheered when it looked like Luke wasn’t going to die and would be back. Thrilled. If they had cut away with him looking at the sunsets, people would still be cheering. But instead, “LULZ, HE ACTUALLY DED.” People walked out of the theater…

I just did a bunch of complaining in another thread here about dumb parts of the movie, but I liked Super Leia.

Yeah, that’s ultimately why I don’t like the movie very much. There was a lot of stuff I liked and hated along the way, but I left basically wondering what the point was.

It was absolutely terrible. I heard people in my theater audibly laughing, which I’m sure wasn’t the intent.

The movie had a really cool take on a lot of things. So many things were surprising and seemed to be going down crazy new roads. Then the movie basically ended back at square one.

I realize that’s the nature of these kind of things. There has to be a constant struggle between good and evil or else there’s no…

Hmm, I don’t see any conversation about THAT Leia scene. Avoiding the tough questions, are we?

I’ve never missed George Lucas more.

I couldn’t disagree more with your analysis. I really, really want to love this film.... but the whole thing has just left me disappointed and heartbroken. What they have done to Luke and the others is just unforgivable. The Force can now do anything - it’s entirely magical and has no rules. Rey can jump from a…

Throne room scene from ROTJ redux.

All of these things were present: Weak characters that I didn’t give a crap about, a story that leaned way too heavy on the Nostalgia Button, a terrible soundtrack

Agree with everything you say, down to the little-kid “woohoo”!

All IMO obviously, but I left the theater thinking it was no better than Rogue One and by the time I got home I thought it was as bad as a the prequels. I found it messy and felt extremely long. The most interesting character, Snoke, they kill off without ever answering anything about him and he’s replaced with…

Stuff I liked:

I am pretty sure I hated this movie. There were so many things in there that wasn’t Star Wars and didn’t feel like Star Wars. The Matrix Style slow motion ducking under the lightsaber, Luke brushing his shoulders off, the reach out and Luke ticking Rey with a leaf. The your mom joke. Leia’s Mary Poppins/Superman float…
