I enjoyed it but I can see how there are items in the story that; A) made no sense other than to create a plot line, and / or B) were either ballsy or a cheap cop out depending on your point of view, both of which would be correct.

There was just polite applause at the end. The club members were hanging out in the lobby after the movie and they were not happy. |

I don’t even understand why there even needs to be an Episode IX. This film wrapped everything up, well, if you wanted to see the heroes of the original trilogy

Rian Johnson is writing and directing a new trilogy, set in a different part of the galaxy, with all new characters. That ought to turn out well. |

I thought it was long and there was some kinda weird stuff in it, and some lazy stuff. But on the whole, I enjoyed the hell out of it. I like the de-Luke-ification of it, and the fact that we are going to move forward with Rey and Kylo.
I know people hate me for this, but Rouge One, while awesome to look at and enjoyable to me was largely fan service and was a story that didn't need to be told. This film at least is breaking away from the "look at all the Star Wars stuff you know and love" of the last...well, all of them. I found myself smiling a lot in this, and I really like the momentary team up of Kylo and Rey, but I knew that wasn't going to last and it will lead us into the next movie quite nicely. Flame away, but I thought this was the best of the "modern iterations" of Star Wars. I'm actually looking forward to the next installment. |

As hyped as I was about this movie. After sleeping on it and reading your guys points as well....... I don't like it.
It was an OK movie. And I'm sure giving Rian his own trilogy where he can do what he wants I'm sure will work. But he ****ed up this story. Point blank. If he wanted to add all these different force powers and other shit he should have saved it for his trilogy. The story was slow and clunky, people appear and disappear with no explanation. Just hey throw this here and do that there then leave.

But I did like it enough to feel positive about it being more original than TFA and way better than the prequels, which are largely ignored and forgotten...that's a good thing by the way. I'll have to see it again of course, but I think largely this one gets a thumbs up from me. |
