I respect everyone’s opinion — my problem is that there were just too many dumb moments and side-quests that went nowhere. The humor was bountiful and it was bad (few laughed in my screening). The decisions on major characters was bizarre. It could have been such a better movie but just meandered all over the place.

I get this is Star Wars and you have to buy in to a lot of fantasy, but these movies (at least the original trilogy) never moved into stupid like this film does.

Poe is no Han Solo. He’s actually a pretty lame character.

The new trilogy seems to be the inverse of the PT to me. As shitty as the acting was in the prequels I thought the writing was decent. Most of it felt like Star Wars to me. I thought the scores were really great in the prequels, too.

These movies got some decent actors and totally shit writing. IX is going to have to totally blow me out of the water to redeem this and I don't see JJ pulling it off. Hopefully the spinoff/standalone movies can redeem the universe a little. Rogue One was a great start.

Agreed and bonus points to you for a Highlander-Ramirez reference and multiple bonus for using Highlander 2 in your reference. Well done.

So look at the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes:

60% and dropping fast.

By comparison The Force Awakens has an 89%.

The original trilogy has no film under 94% (RotJ).

The Last Jedi is now below prequel film Revenge of the Sith and has only 3-points to go before it falls below Attack of the Clones as the worst Audience Score of all the Star Wars movies.

UPDATE: That didn't take long...it is now down to 59% have just tied The Phantom Menace. Still dropping...

Strangely, all the Super Reviewers that end up on the aggregate page are all 5-star. Interesting the difference between the critics and these reviewers and the rest of the community...

JJ is doing the last one.

Those movies are gonna be shit.

It seems like Rian Johnson and the Star Wars braintrust went out of their way to do the opposite of what fans expected because -- why not? The misdirection worked in the film, but the place it got them to with respect to Rey's parents, Snoke, Luke, and Leia would actually have been better if they had gone in the opposite direction. I get that you don't want to be derivative, but they ended up in just about the worst place you could take a Star Wars film and they did it only to "be different."

Audience scores continue to fall in difference to the reviewers. Big disconnect on this one.

If they wanted to do something against the grain (which in many ways, they didn't), why not just go with George's initial ideas for the sequel trilogy?

If Solo flops (and at this point, it's certainly not a guaranteed success), Iger may need to step in and make changes at Lucasfilm.

Time picked up on the hate.

I hope Solo flops

Phil Lord and Chris Miller deserve better.

After falling from 65% to 58% this morning, the RT Audience Score has stopped updating...
