There are many like it but this one is mine.
Star Wars fans sure are a contentious bunch. Yes, I was there when the Phantom Menace was unleashed on the world. Yes, it terrible but as Harrison Ford once said - "Fuck it, it's a just movie." Now, with The Last Jedi triggering some fans, the eye-rolls never cease. I gotta say Star Wars is in a better place then it was during the prequel years but I'm not gonna pledge loyalty and call the new movies great. Flawed yet but compelling and fun, nonetheless. Frankly, it seems there is no satisfying some fans; Will bitch it's too familiar or bitch it's too much change. There's the story about some fellow taking credit for bringing down the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes using bot accounts. Triggered, much?
I've also made peace with no Star Wars movie ever being able to match Empire Strikes Back for it's sheer majesty and magic. All I have to say about that, I do. |

Overrated franchise long on iconic characters and short on substance. I've never understood the passion some people have for it.

No, cuz at this point all they're doing is dragging a corpse around.

I'm no Star Wars purist, but I can at least see the strengths each film has even if there are weaknesses. I thought Last Jedi was pretty good. Perfect? No. The best Star Wars movie? Not even close. Entertaining? Yes.

Don't forget the George Lucas (hack) rule. The more involved Lucas is with the SW movie (writing/direction) the worse it is.

Congrats on making your own unoriginal thread! I do agree that too many people are overreacting to what is ultimately just another movie. That said, even I, who's a very lenient critic, found The Last Jedi to be quite soulless and also quite pandering. Honestly I think I'd rather a film go all out complicated nerd fandom than trying to appeal to the average modern movie goer. That all said, the hate is still quite ridiculous just the same.

Honestly I think I'd rather a film go all out complicated nerd fandom than trying to appeal to the average modern movie goer. That all said, the hate is still quite ridiculous just the same. Last Jedi was definitely not for the average movie goer or else there wouldn't be that much whining. I think the main issues wit the movie, which admittedly has a very basic plot premise to focus much more on character, is old school fans vs. new school. I'm always on the side of changing the script rather than sticking to tradition provided there is good reason for the change. It just wasn't the typical SW movie. Neither was TFA but it was wrapped in SW tropes that made it easier to swallow with the right kind of criticism that doesn't hit box office. Last Jedi didn't even do that. |
