Couldn't bribe me to see the movie but am greatly enjoying the civil war it's caused in the Star Wars community. Hopefully they'll all kill each other.
It’s one of those movies that you kind of enjoy when watching it, but the more you think about it afterwards it starts to fall apart. Luke Skywalker is basically a failure according to this new trilogy.
you can pass the torch in several ways but if you hate the established fan base and want to cynically signal to shit skins and sjw lesbians for a cash grab you can't do that.
It doesn't sense cause the build up to this over 3 movies of Luke overcoming the odds and eventually defeating the empire is pointless.

Vader killing Palpatine and bringing balance is pointless. That's just bad storytelling.
Disney's Star Wars is only concerned with feminism and racial diversity. Nothing Disney ever touches is cool. It's probably way too late now but hopefully more people will wake up and adopt a policy of non-support on any Disney cinematic product so we can start getting some good blockbusters again.
RLM were right: Kylo killing Snoke and remaking the galaxy in his vision, would have been interesting. But then he just... didn't. What was the point of his speeches about killing the old and making way for the new, if the new is an exact replica of the old?
I enjoyed the movie overall, but I would probably hate it if I was a hardcore fan of the series instead of a casual fan at best.
The more I think about it, the movie was kind of a mess. I really liked it when I watched it but now I don't know. I feel like Patrice when Jimmy deconstructed Face Off.

This was pretty much the case with Phantom Menace. At first the response was very enthusiastic and then the overwhelming negatively began to creep in. This is a purely subjective thing but I always thought the Prequels still had the genuine Star Wars "feel," even with all their flaws. I watched about a half hour of Force Awakens and violently rejected what I saw on the grounds of it being a facile impostor, motivated entirely by greed and crafted by corporate committee. I decided then that for me the saga was limited to six entries. Everything from Force Awakens forward I consider fake Star Wars.
The set pieces and all that were cool but the amount of money they threw at this movie if the spectacle wasn't impressive then it'd really be terrible.
The internet hyped this up to be a massive piece of shit and the worst movie made this year. I went and it wasn't that bad. Better than the prequels. Better than The Force Awakens. It's flawed and not perfect, but I generally liked it. Add to that, I actually like Kylo Ren as a school shooter-type millennial that just wants to destroy the past and pretty much anyone involved with it.
People complained about too much comedy, which was pretty "meh" -- but the original dumb films had comedy parts, as well. It's probably on par with Return of the Jedi. However, keep in mind, that I also don't give a flying fuck about Star Wars, its mythology, the fucking Skywalkers, a green cartoon midget alien and so on.
I was actually letdown that this wasn't a huge piece of shit like the first prequel movie. :(
"I believe he's tooling with you Sir" is the exact quote. It happens when one of the X-wing pilots is making a prank call to the Star Destroyer. It's in the first 5 minutes.
The biggest problem with all of it, and RLM has touched on this, is the fact that the writers, directors and most of all producers are aware that Star Wars is considered a classic.
That means instead of writing a new movie with interesting angles, loosely based on an expanded universe, it becomes like a cooking recipe, where vital ingredients are to be baked, cooked and voilà, here's a pile of cash !
yea, it's pretty gross. star wars was the closest thing to a worthwhile film as far as lore, classic motifs etc...
now it's gay shit to crank up the cash machine and has been for a long time. here's hoping rian johnson gets caught up in the #metoo
There was some awesome shit in that movie. I'd just find a copy then cut and delete the commie feminist bullshit (so that's about 1 hour) and then you get a kickass 1 hour action space shootemup.
mr. plinkett's reviews are like 2 hours a piece and they're pretty fucking great. i was actually hoping this was a plinkett review when i clicked on this thread.
mr. plinkett's reviews are like 2 hours a piece and they're pretty fucking horrible. i was considering suicide if this was a plinkett review when i clicked on this thread.
The problem with these movies is the simple, unaddressed facts that:
A: the Star Wars culture is gay
B: the historic limitedness of the Star Wars story arc (ex: CONSTANT WAR)
C: the "Focus Group Culture" of Hollywood right now
The whole film was messy, uneven, limited....and the part with needless social politics: Luke realizes that people are both good and bad, so there's no need for the Jedi as it's defined (?), so he gets rid of the ancient Jedi manuscripts and Yoda burns down the Jedi tree. Yet Rey -a woman- is absolutely carrying on the Jedi art after all this nonsense is over, but she'll re-write it better because women are perfect and strong and aren't evil at all, and the men in this move are evil and inept and have to be vanquished.
It's just shit storytelling so they can get to their activism, while selling as much product as they can. They're just garbage films now.
The movie was shit. I'm not even a big Star Wars fan, I like the originals well enough, but not emotionally invested in it. When the black guy said "LET'S GO CHROMEDOME" I couldn't wait for it to be over. I'm pretty sure there was another full hour to go at that point, why was it so fucking long? But there was a laser whip, wow cool.
Why was Luke ok with the galaxy being taken over by a guy he was directly responsible for empowering until the last minute? It made no fucking sense!

Everyone is a failure, you kind of have to make that the case to reset everything for a new adventure

It isn’t pointless, this is 40 years later
1 revt1 2017-12-19
Especially compared to his EU iteration. EU Luke was the GOAT Jedi Grandmaster.
New trilogy Luke is a reclusive failure who shut himself off from the universe wallowing in self pity.
Snoke is a fag and Kylo Ren has zero presence as a villain.

1 DeafandMutePenguin 2017-12-19
I totally agree.
1 Ant_Sucks 2017-12-19
It was terrible from the opening scene. All that clunky dialogue and prank calling like it was Ferris Bueller in the X-Wing.
"I believe he's tooling you Sir" might be one of the worst bits of dialogue in all of Star Wars.
1 Awkawardsilence 2017-12-19
Tell me that's not an actual line in the movie.
