Still have no idea what you nerds are bitching about, movie is fantastic.

Love your username

I agree.

After more than a year, with people complaining about various things, I'm still none the wiser as to why the film was dreadful / pointless / undermined SW really badly.

eh i feel like it was tonally all over the place, poorly paced, comical for the wrong reasons, and had confusing and contrived writing. that's ignoring the star wars stuff i didnt like about it

Question and Answer. Maybe having more effort put into the script would have saved the film, but it didn't, and we're left with a Star Wars movie with less effort put into it than Revenge of the Fallen.

Only the Alt-Right and Russian trolls hate this movie.

I enjoyed it, don't get all the bitching about it. It's certainly better than the shitty prequels.

tlj was a million times better than transformers 2

There's literally no comparison.

You cant tell me that the second act was anything other than bullshit filler.

I wipe my ass with Disney Star Wars.

It's the equivalent of a filler episode in a anime/tv show

TLJ At least had a thematic purpose, unlike TFA which was just A New Hope with a few new characters. It just so happens that letting the past die isnt a theme Star Wars fans could get behind.

That's what Attack of the Clones felt like to me.

Useless, dumbass comment of the day.

How do these topics still get bites

I was cool with most of the film the two times I watched it.

Notable exceptions being Admiral Tumblr and Rose saving Finn. Would've been a great ending for his character arc imo
---

I literally don't understand why some people insist the Disney Star Wars ones are worse than the prequel trilogy. At least the Disney ones are entertaining to watch, which is more than I can say for 2/3rds of the prequel trilogy. They had a badass soundtrack though.

And that's literally your opinion. Someone can literally think the prequels are more entertaining and their opinion holds literally as much weight as yours. Literally.

no it wouldn't have

his sacrifice would've changed nothing and wouldn't have benefited the hero team in any way

I get it. You didn't like that I used literally.

But okay, it's opinions. That's fair. It's just I usually can see where someone is coming from with their opinion.

Rose Tico and her stupid space horses are worse than Jar Jar Binks.

So lets go over some points.

-The Treatment of Finn. He went from being a lead to being a side kick to Rose.
-This arc in general. In the Last movie he made the choice to stand up to evil and now he Rose to teach him that lesson.
-How did he learn that less. There is nothing on CB that would have made him side with the Rebels more. He literally just found out that the Rebels are funding slavery.
-He had an good fight with Phasma were he won due to his grit, in what we go in the movie he won the way that Jar Jar would have won.
-Rose stopping him from taking out the gun. Her crashing into him like that should have killed them both.
-Next Rose says.. her dumb like about saving what you love. That is literally what he was trying to do because Rose assaulted him at the start of the movie.
-Let's look at how Finn's Injuries were treated. He got slashed in the back and when wakes up it is treated as joke. Now compare that to how Kylo was treated with his injuries.
-Finn not knowing anything around him and having to be told everything by Rose.
-Finn was even allowed to be the person to call Maz.
-Finn and Rose side plot just everything about it. If they could leave the ship to get the code breaker then they could have left the ship and called for help. Or ship after ship could have left dropping people odd cross the sector.

Remember:

33% of complaints are from people who have never seen a Star Wars before

33% of complaints are from people who don't like female/POC leads
and 1% of complaints are actually legitimate

The prequels at least had a story to tell. AOTC might be a mediocre middle act but it made me want to see ep 3 whereas TLJ screwed the pooch on that. Soundtrack and cinematography are top notch, but the script and characterization cant even touch Anakin bitching about sand.
