Meanwhile, I hated RO, and the more I think about it, the more I hate this. I thought TFA was a mixed bag, half a really good movie, half a really obnoxious one.
This mixed reaction is crazy. You guys are making me really impatient to get to the theater.
Yeah, it's even crazier than I thought.
My audience was cheering and eating this shit right up. I felt ridiculously out of place. I felt like we were watching different movies. I almost flung my 3D glasses in disgust a few times.

We had a friend with us who was like you. He's a hard core fan of the Old Republic games and lore, and doesn't even care for the original trilogy.
This movie is utter garbage. On par with the prequels. Such an utter disappointment. Disjointed, illogical, bloated, etc., etc., etc. Just awful.
EDIT: And for the record, I enjoyed The Force Awakens and really liked Rogue One. I was very excited for this.

See, I get the hate, I have quite a few problems with this film. But "on par with the prequels"? In what universe does this even remotely make sense?

I think, even as a kid, I was more of a Vader fan than a Star Wars fan. One of my favorite movie memories (from the theater) was seeing Vader walking down the shuttle ramp in the beginning of ROTJ. I think I was five.

Poor dialogue, bloated length, bad CG, sense of humor that falls flat 90% of the time, drama that elicits no emotion. It might not be quite as bad as the prequels, but it's damn close.Quoting [ETM] (view post)
It's worse than the prequels.

I'm genuinely shocked at how divisive the reactions are for this. o__o

Yeah, I'm kind of shocked by the negative reactions.
The Porgs were bad, by the way. They weren't cute and they didn't have any funny scenes. I get it's just marketing but it doesn't even work like that.
Ummm...*looks around this thread* hi Mike! How are you?
I'm doing well, bud. Thanks for asking. A very big congrats to you, by the way. Saw the engagement stuff on FB or Insta or something. Very happy for you.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Thanks duder! Hope to you stay a while. We were feeling nostalgic a few weeks ago and your name came up quite a bit.
You still have two other Star Wars threads to lay down your thoughts.
Missed you too KF!
This is going to sound condescending as hell, but if you hate this movie, you do not deserve to call yourself a Star Wars fan.
This movie is literally everything a Star Wars movie should be and more.
Sure why not?

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm 98% sure I'll agree with Wats.
Guess that means I'm not a Star Wars fan then. Oh well.
Frankly I’m REALLY shocked that Rian made AND WROTE a movie this bad.Quoting Grouchy (view post)
Yeah, the fact he also wrote this is what's most shocking of his involvement. Like, holy shit, how??Quoting Zac Efron (view post)
Also, you guys should REALLY watch the prequels again.
