depends on your definition of flop..?

Artistically: The Force Awakens²

Box Office/Financials: Ghostbusters

Expectations: Homecoming

Artistically ? What are you fucking Terrance Malik , you wouldn't know what's artistic if it hit you In the nuts , you fucking like the phantom menace for gods sake , don't think for a minute you have any kind of taste in movies 

droid, please! Don't you confuse arthritic with artistic. I was talking about artistic merits as in:

- TFA is a rehash by ripping of mostly ANH- and then some OT/old EU plot beats (story points),

- thereby lazily nuking the achievements of the OT (defeat of Empire) and the OT character arcs,

- the writing is on fanfic level with most characters being incongruent with their backstories (including MS writing)

- the main storyline is broken and inconlusive,

- there are no new ideas, designs or proper world building,

- the execution is rushed (pacing), overacted and mediocre

etc...

In short: TFA is an artistic shitstain on SW's best underwear. But can millions of arthritic flies be wrong in this regard...? Just IMO....
