[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I loved it.[/b] I loved how they developed the characters without being heavy handed about it, I loved how the plot harkened back to the original trilogy (especially Episode V) without simply rewriting it, I loved how they included so many significant female characters and yet didn't elevate them as goddesses the way movies so often do when they're making a conscious push for gender diversity; they were flawed human beings, just like the men. My daughter is intrigued by Star Wars but still a bit young for it, and in the middle of the movie I thought to myself that I can't wait to show her this movie in the saga.[/quote]

I can not imagine anyone coming to this conclusion.  Somewhere Joseph Campbell is weeping for starting this and then seeing it go so far off the rails.    [/quote]

Eh, I came out of the theater enthralled and you came out bitter, so who got the better end of it? [/quote]

You prove the adage that no one ever went broke underestimating the taste or brain power of the people.  Wow.  Good for you. [/quote]

Thanks!  :D [/quote]

You know the previous poster is being a real d******* . Lots of people enjoyed the movie, including like, most of the critics. A difference in opinion should not lead you to calling someone stupid or tasteless. Honestly, I don't know. It's just so myopic and mean. And frankly, wrong. But whatever.

I really enjoyed it. There were some seems slower than others, But overall, it was exactly what I wanted from this movie.[/quote]

Go look at the thousands of comments on the Yahoo Last Jedi pages and you will see all the reasons why you should rethink this one.   The critics are being savaged on many, many different levels.  You know why?  Because the movie is bad.  Plain bad.  Add to the fact that there are 40 years of history, story lines, (and back stories now supported on other formats) and fan support behind it and its becomes beyond bad.  Sorry you can't see that and sorry that you feel some people are mean around here but I bet the Disney suits were counting on a high percentage of movie goers with low standards when they green lighted this dreck.

And, as an aside, its those low standards that might keep the next J.K Rowling, or Prince, or some other epic creative talent from getting a chance in the first place.  Please ask for more.  This day and age needs more creativity and hard work, not thoughtless corner cutting and boring cynicism.   [/quote]
