Most of the people I talk to in real life loved the movie and I just pretend the people who hate it are a vocal minority. And most of that "disappointment" is again, babies not getting their way. There are some legitimate criticisms, but basically none of the complaints fall into that category. --- Let the past die.

AquaArcane 01/16/18 10:50:43 PM #104:	Well, most people did. Even here on this board we had more people that liked it than didn't. It's just the people that do like something don't have a lot to say, because it's just "I liked this part and this part and yadda yadda". There's only so much we can say about something we like. But when someone hates something, they can go on for hours about what they didn't like. That makes it seem there's more hate toward the movie than there really is. Most of us don't try to involve ourselves in the arguments because it's pointless. It's almost impossible to convince someone to change their opinion, especially if it's negative so we just don't bother... Which is why I'm gonna stop bothering with this lol --- Let the past die.

TheRock1525 01/16/18 10:52:13 PM #105:	That being said, I remember walking out of it going "...Huh." more than anything. I'm pretty set in my mind that I enjoyed TFA more than TLJ, basically going on the mindset that a fine re-telling/re-imagining of the original Star Wars was more enjoyable than a movie that was kinda all over the place. The fact that I keep seeing "AotC was better" on other websites leads me to believe that people have truly lost their minds. I'll take a well-acted if flawed movie over a poorly-acted and flawed one. --- TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues. <cite>TheRock1525 posted [p:894202297] in General St...

Part of it is middle movie syndrome. Its why I like IV more than V. IV tells a neat and tidy story on its own, but V needs context. Likewise for VII and VIII. I like VIII more than V though because we did get some self-contained plot. Rey and Finn are in the middle of their journies, so the movie was about Kylo and Luke instead.

AquaArcane 01/16/18 11:03:02 PM #107:	Honestly even after I saw it the first time, I thought some things were weird but I still loved it overall. And those things that bothered me actually became my favorite aspects of the movie after thinking about it and seeing it four more times. For instance, I thought it was weird Rey's parents were nobody because I expected her to be a Skywalker. I was a bit sad there was no big lightsaber duel. I was hoping Luke would show off his immense Force power against the First Order. Some other little things probably, so yeah even I had little expectations that weren't met, but I didn't let them bring the movie down. I accepted that those things didn't happen, and I'm actually really happy they didn't. Because then I would have predicted everything and that's boring. This movie caught me off guard at almost every turn and that's what I loved so much. Movies don't do that anymore. Especially not big blockbusters like this. I can't remember the last time a Marvel movie ever "shocked" me. I don't think that's ever happened actually, although it doesn't help that I have extensive knowledge of the comics but even so they could at least try to add some twists. --- Let the past die.

AquaArcane 01/16/18 11:15:46 PM #111:	History repeating itself is something Star Wars does. That's why it's happening again in the sequels. It's also because these are the first new Star Wars movies we're getting, so they have to retread stuff to get people back into the groove. Once this sequel trilogy is over I expect we'll start seeing crazier things. Can't wait to see what Rian Johnson's other trilogy will be. --- Let the past die.

It sought to tell a story of how a noble Jedi Knight becomes an evil tyrant, how a Republican that stood for thousands of years would fall so quickly, how the world fell into darkness.
