Somebody earlier in the thread said that every time they think about VIII they hate it just a little bit more. I'm definitely in that camp. Hell, it may actually be worse than Phantom Menace. And if IX ends up being more of the same, that might actually become the first Star Wars movie that I don't see in the theaters, because I'll have to hear good things from people, and I mean actual real people, before I drop coin on it. There was a time when I would have never felt that way, and that's sad. It has become clear that critic consensus and even RT audience scores are no longer reliable.
I wonder what the going rate is for a critic to write a positive review of some dogshit Disney movie?  |
Yup. Finn's arc greatly disappointed. I was rooting heavily for a heroic sacrifice on the salt planet but Rose intervened with her stupid philosophy. Ugh.
I felt the same way. I exited the theater thinking, "yeah, this movie is good." I started reviewing the film and discussing with my brother and I realized how shoddy and agenda driven it was.
I will probably still see IX on opening day because nothing beats seeing an anticipated movie in a full theater but my expectations have dropped.
