Do you know how rare it is to have a audience score of 57% on a well reviewed movie.

This movie caused a Deep rift with the fan base.

Even powerangers has a higher score.


Best way to describe the new Star Wars movie it's a great Sci fi movie for Kids.

Terrible Star Wars movie for Most fans.

They didn't....they had 30 years of peace...and the First Order isn't in control of the galaxy.

They are trying to assume control of the galaxy, and the Resistance is trying to stop them. With mixed results on both ends.

This trilogy is about our aged heroes, and new characters, trying to prevent the dark side from coming back.

So I wouldn't call their actions meaningless.

by the end of the movie there is no difference between the Empire and the 1st order.

It's hard to tell what the hell is going on in the Universe cause the Way JJ reset everything by rehashing ANH.

It's why we haven't seen any Core worlds and all this takes place in some back water part of the universe.

Amazing. Everything you just said is completely wrong!

My cousin and I are the two biggest die-hard Star Wars that ever lived. We were up until 2 AM last night talking about the movie.

There are plenty of people just like us who fudged their Boba Fett underoos over this movie.

Total BS.

The Executor, a chunk of the Imperial fleet, and the Emperor were not destroyed in the Empire Strikes Back.

The First Order isn't in control of Coruscant or a majority of the core worlds.

If they were, the Resistance would not have been able to call for help to ANYONE when they were on Crait.

The First Order has a few Star Destroyers and a bunch of stormtroopers, but that doesn't make them the Empire.

I mean, Snoke's seat of power was on The Supremacy. There was a reason for that, which is the plain fact that he isn't in control of the galaxy yet.

First Order =/ Empire

They are wannabes.

If you were one of the fan's watching Videos on Snoke/Rey's Backstory for 2 years excited as hell to see all changes this was gonna make to the mythos.

Then this movie was disappointing as hell I didn't cheer once My entire ****ing theater cheered like 5 ****ing times and I was ****ing pissed I couldn't muster even a little excitement for this movie.

Gonna keep my fingers Crossed I guess and Hope J.J walks backs everything on this movie.

The more I think about it, the more Snoke's death was absolutely necessary.

When you get down to it, he's not really that interesting of a character. He's a cardboard cutout bad guy. What was he going to do going forward that we hadn't already seen? Sit on this throne, cackle, torture someone with the force? Completely played out.

His backstory is interesting...but whatever else he was going to do in this story wasn't going to be interesting.

The best use of his character was absolutely setting up a far more interesting character (Kylo) to be the real bad guy.

No matter how you slice it Disney has got to be worried about Rian Johnson trilogy a good chunk of Hardcore Star wars fan's really hated this movie.

I have no desire to see the last movie in the trilogy or Rian Johnson's new Triolgoy.

This movie shit all over Star wars.

Fast and the Furious of star wars movies all fluff no substance.

CinemaScore is a better barometer than Rotten Tomatoes. They are the industry standard. An A grade from them carries weight, and for a blockbuster movie like Star Wars, and A grade means a much better multiplier for the run of the movie. An A grade carries a 3.75 to 4x multiper usually, so at 220 million for the weekend, that would put Last Jedi at 820-880 million for its theatrical run---in other words, Disney is not worried about anything.

Having Kylo be the real bad guy and not just lackey carrying out orders is a new dynamic, and should be interesting to watch.

It's really cool. We get to explore this whole fresh idea now of, like, what if Vader had overthrown the Emperor.

Far, far more interesting than setting up a rehash of Jedi.

Speaking of, what exactly are the militaristic capabilities of the First Order at this point? Starkiller base is destroyed, they lost a Dreadnaught class ship, and the Supremacy and her escort Star Destroyers have been either torn in half or vaporized. What's left? It would be cool to get a look at the First Order's staging grounds out in the Unknown Regions....

Sassy Squatch 12-16-2017 04:23 PM

Goddamn. Actually seeing the movie, this is just one big overreaction. Its really not that good, but holy shit it isn't that bad either.

Frazod 12-16-2017 04:48 PM

Waiting for the 5:00 showing to start. :rockon:

Why not?
