Finn actually isn’t interested in any of his “girlfriends”. They should’ve just had Poe and Finn kiss at the end so we can all agree that Abrams is the greatest fanfic writer. I mean, they are the only two characters with any chemistry whatsoever in these three movies!

I'm surprised JJ had the restraint to not film a scene where Rey and the force ghosts of Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Yoda, Anakin, Luke, Leia, and whoever else they wanted charge the emperor or the sith trooper armies like the scene from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King when Aragorn charges the Pelennor fields with his mercenary ghost army. But seriously, how the gently caress you gonna call this movie The Rise of Skywalker and not have Hayden Christensen cameo as ghost Anakin. That's like, my only legit gripe lmao.

Lure the last remaining jedi into a trap in your throne room with your overwhelming naval superiority hanging out in the wings, ready to murder the alliance fleet the moment it shows up on a last ditch attempt to shoot his macguffin. But seriously palps, why did you give them sixteen hours warning? Why not at least park them outside the no-shield zone so they couldn't get their dong cannons shot off. Is he like Thanos in the comics? Just desperately self sacrificing because he doesn't think he should win? Honestly, it is a fairly bad movie for the first 2/3rds, but just as I had foreseen, everything picked up when Ian McDiarmid was on screen.

I’m watching it now. This movie feels like listening to a crackhead click around between Wookiepedia pages and piecing together a narrative in their head. Jesus gently caress the editing is spastic.

I wish this film was bad in the way that the prequels were bad, with those you at least got an auteur sense of shittiness because no major studio would ever make the mistakes that George Lucas made over the course of three movies. With this film and The Force Awakens I felt like I was watching a giant list of Star Wars poo poo be checked off over the course of two hours. I didn't realize this until later but no one really cheered, clapped, or laughed during the film. My screening was in a special section of the theater that they sold a limited number of tickets for beforehand that had prize giveaways for answering trivia questions and other fun audience stuff. More people were in costume than in the rest of the theater and it had a high concentration of fans and no one cared about the movie. zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 09:14 on Dec 20, 2019 |

I would have loved that as they’re very clearly into each other much more than anyone else. I couldn’t help but notice they’re incredibly tactile around each other.  The big shared hug at the end was good. The biggest unintentional laugh from me was 5 seconds into the start of the film. THE DEAD SPEAK!

There's a lot wrong with the movie, from just basic stuff like the plot being entirely bereft of character motivation to undoing stuff and repeating scenes that were in the last movie, but the biggest thing that stuck out to me was just how ugly it was. Horrible camerawork, weird clashing art styles and lots and lots of unfinished looking CGI. Luke's scene with Rey looked like absolute dogshit. The entire last battle was just disorienting and the throne room being a giant empty computer cavern was weird. There were basically no memorable scenes from a visual standpoint, which is odd because THe Last Jedi was packed with them.

So Lando just shows up. Everything so far has just happened and happened fast. It’s good they finally have the gang together. The FN and Poe stuff is good. Rey is slightly more written as having a personality now. Somehow this is more overstuffed and insanely paced than even Solo. Speeder chase was a little cool.

I wonder if Rey is going to get Leia'd in the Sequel Sequel Trilogy because Palpatine is her grandfather. If people lost their poo poo about Leia being the daughter of the Emperor's lapdog, then I'd expect them to poo poo a porg when they find out Rey's heritage. What am I saying, of course they won't. Nothing in this drat set of movies makes sense.

Bad movie that runs at 900 miles per hour to hit all the thin story beats and to get in as many Last Jedi jabs and retcons as possible. Involving Leia in the plot was just awkward and even though the real life circumstances demanded changes it probably would have been better to just leave her out. But theres also a lot of other problems with this film narratively. Jokingly agree with all the 'its very anime' takes. Rey at the end was Sailor Moon against Queen Beryl as all the Jedi Senshi ghosts touch her wand. Positives about the movie? I guess the interplay between the characters was a nice touch even if the dial was set to 200% humor all the time. C3P0 had the most jokes that landed and hes just being the meta commentator. Forget 'Kill the Past', bury these films and never speak of them again. They had little to offer or say in the end aside from, "you'll watch it- its Star Wars."

Going from reactions at my theater, overall it was positive. Kids were absolutely loving it and everyone else was saying it was fun. We didn't have anyone show up in costume. Closest was a guy wearing an Imperial officer's cap, and we had two little kids have a lightsaber fight in the lobby.

The real crime is Star Wars is choking the theaters by hogging up all the screens this week and Terrence Mallick’s new movie was released on 5 screens TOTAL throughout the country (and its also being distributed by Disney lol). Did I write lol? I meant to write gently caress this loving bullshit.

The Endor girl was supposed to be hinted to be Lando's kid hence the ending scene of them that makes no sense now. .

No one thought it was horrible or bad. All the humor bits pretty much landed in my theater; lots of laughs. General reaction seemed to be mostly positive from chatter I heard walking out. One of the people in my group brought their 7 year old and when it was revealed Rey was a Palpatine he was all like "WHAAAT?!"

ImpAtom posted:Yeah, I have to admit that soured me on the film super early on. "No Rose, sorry, you go away and... uh, Finn just treats you like poo poo for the rest of the film. Don't worry though he has a NEW girlfriend! Don't worry though she's black so you won't have to worry about any of that icky miscegenation! Also maybe she's going off with Lando because he's the only other black person in the universe besides Mace "I'm dead" Windu who is probably her great grandfather or something." If the treatment of the film I saw like a month or so ago is correct, that's because she's his daughter.   Another thing that this one had that wasn't in the movie was that... everyone was with Rey on the Tattooine scene, not just her and BB-8, and also, no Kylo/Rey kiss. He gets Yeet into a pit and he's out of the film. Ray just doesn't die from "Running out of Force" in the battle and thus is able to leave. I'm guessing Test Audiences didn't understand he died, so they wanted to make it clear.

PJOmega posted:"ackshually the reason RoS is bad is because TLJ was so awful and they HAD to course correct and they couldn't because TLJ was SO BAD." gently caress this noise. This just showed how great TLJ was. It's too bad Rian Johnson couldn't close out the trilogy because he gave the only truly compelling story so far. Also whoever edited this film needs to get loving banished from the industry for good. It was so SO SO horribly edited. The pacing was godawful. Also everything after the Han Solo scene was trash. Even the scene with Luke was weak and void of any charisma. And that had to be the weakest final battle I've seen maybe ever. Blow up their compass transmitter tower? gently caress all y'all who hated on TLJ. This is what you get when you want pure distilled nostalgia injected straight into your vein. A bunch of uninspired trash.
