Ohh boo hoo hoo. The poor oppressed white male can’t catch a break. I wanted to hear a movie review, not this “white genocide” whiney crap.
Let’s just gloss over the poor white males doing the same thing to non-white males for---- you know what, forget it.
A more important question I have is what was up with those bombers?? What the hell happened to the Y-wing and B-wing bombers that were superior (and faster) in every way (they even had hyperdrives)? But no, they resorted using these space tractors that had World War 2 technology.
MAYbe I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume the Y and B wings were either decommissioned and/or destroyed? Bleh…
Youre giving too much credit to bad script writing. Im sure the same reason these were used instead of the better ones was because ultimately incompetence (as it permeates in this film) won out and so we get these shitty vehicles instead of the good stuff. Hell, another question would be why the shit salt skimmers instead of rejiggered Snowspeeders? Oh right, because shitty writing!
Eh. We’ll see how well this holds up. I’ll give it until about 6 months after the bluray releases.
The things that were intolerable in this movie are still going to be there, but sure. I mean it’s not like we still dont fucking hate Jar Jar Binks after a decade and a half. But sure.
Interesting effect of this movie… at first it’s like “ehhhh it’s a mixed bag…it has some issues”…
Later on, those issues grow more annoying the more you think about them. For me, another nitpick is that issue many have mentioned with bombs falling… in space. The girl releasing that payload didn’t have any protective head/face covering if I recall…while being there in a hangar that is exposed to the harsh environment of space. (sheeeeit, she could help me release this load anytime though heyoooooooo)
*sidenote–I’d have no problem grilling one of those porgs…seasoned up they probably taste like a nice baked or grilled chicken breast.
The hate train continues! This is the latest video to catch my attention.
And they’re right. The Last Jedi basically trolled us. It was 2.4 Hrs of the movie dangling carrots in front of our faces, only to yank them away at the last second and flipping us off after. Then trying to act like doing the unexpected was somehow “deep” and profound.
I especially love the whole bait & switch with Leia.
That’s the fault of the MouseHouse for screwing the pooch on this franchise so badly.
The Last Jedi even retroactively drags The Force Awakens down with it. Because even though TFA was a fine entry in the series, so much of what it built upon and the mysteries it teased got flushed in TLJ. Rendering TFA mostly pointless.
Not a Star Wars fan so after hearing all the hype I went out and saw it, I was completely bored. I just didn’t care for anyone or anything thing they were trying to do. JJ’s movie was way better IMO.
You all have to blame in part yourselfs for everyone here expecting so much and got nothing you wanted. The movie wasn’t episode 1 bad so just move on…expect nothing from episode 9 and you’ll will watch it still.
Were there any kids in the theater, and did they get notably antsy around the 1 Hr 45 minute mark? Having to sit still so damn long?
Thats another problem with this movie: It was TOO damned long and dragged at TOO many points. Around the 2 hour mark there were a lot of the kids in my theater that basically lost interest and started playing on their phones and shit.
Kids losing interest in a Star Wars movie? Enough said.
I sat in front of an entire row of kids opening night and they were having the times of their lives watching the film. They had the biggest reactions to everything. (Also as a bonus they got to see the infinity war trailer before the movie and also lost their shit watching that as well)
Normally sitting on front of talkative kids would ruin being at the theater, but since it reminded me of myself as a kid enjoying star wars it actually put a smile on my face.
Yeah, the theater I was in gave a standing ovation for the movie, and there were definitely more than a few kids there. They loved it, and so did the adults. You must have gone to the ADHD showing.
