[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are surprising because the Internet culture exists in a completely different world than the real world. diggi and slate and other news outlets have done some interesting pieces about the internet Fanboy phenomenon and people stacking review sites.

And Yahoo is filled with the worst kind of people. If you want to read Intelligent, thought provoking, and yes even critical, comments that are worth reading, try the a v Club.com

Look, I wanted to avoid name-calling, but since that's the direction we're going: I think most of the people who hate this movie fall into two categories. Either dogmatic Fanboys who can't stand change and are absolutely propelled by nothing but Nostalgia OR  people who don't like the way the Star Wars universe is evolving beyond the Skywalker family and embracing diversity and change.

(Note that I said most. I know that people have a variety of other nuanced complaints and issues, but for the most part, this is the internet)

It is a great big universe and I can't remain stagnant and rehashing the same old themes that Lucas kept trying. I actually feel like this movie did such a wonderful Justice to the Jedi Order but that is a different conversation.

I'm sorry previous poster that you can't embrace Nuance, change, and expansion. I know it must suck to have your entire nostalgic worldview shaken buy a director who can make a way better movie than George Lucas ever could[/quote]

You feel the way you feel, and we who hate it feel our way. It is not nostalgia that makes me sick about this movie. This is not stand alone movie, it is a part of 9 films, how do you just ignore and change everything so much?  Guy who couldn't kill his own Dad, but fought to save him, is willing to kill his nephew as a child? Even Darth Vader, who killed younglings saved his own son. And it is a bad movie. Yes, science fiction, but come on, floating in space? My teen hated it, he is not a 50 year old fan boy, and he hated it. Even people who were kids when prequels came hated it and they liked the prequels. I respect your opinion of it as a stand alone movie, but it isn't a stand alone movie. Clone Wars were beautifully made, I wish they would remake them exactly as in the cartoon. Rian didn't have to rehash Lucas' universe, he could have made a whole new world without shi*ing on old themes. If we crucified Lucas for not giving enough justification for Anakin going dark, how can anybody accept Luke going even more dark with even less reason?[/quote]
