Ok... so you don't know why you didn't like it, and therefore arent interested in defending your opinion.

What? I've defended it from the start. She had been blasted out of a ship into the vacuum of space and exposed for more than a few seconds -- this isn't Dave Bowman quickly exiting the pod into the airlock. Then, to add injury to insult, they had her strike a ridiculous pose to fly through space back to the ship.

There are better ways to create drama with her, and better ways to demonstrate the power of the force.

From start to finish, it was absurd. And I'm absolutely gobsmacked that anyone who's not a troll is defending it.

You can survive in the vacuum of space for more than a few seconds.

Especially if you are a space wizard.

I dunno, man. I guess I can get why it might be bad to some people, but there was just something magical, majestic and graceful about that scene to me, that fit perfectly with the character.

If you are being sincere, agree to disagree.

To focus on the positive, I really liked the Kylo Ren stuff and thought Driver was very good. My 18-year-old and I had a heated discussion on the way home about Luke's character (which is a good, healthy thing in our family!) and I liked the movie a little more than he did. I mostly defended Luke. So I'm not a hater. I really liked the stuff I liked, it's just that I found a lot of the other stuff crap, with flying Leia being No. 1. We both hated that. Real face palm stuff when it happened.

Here is an interesting article from Deadline about fan ratings on RT and such and other services such as CinemaScore:

The biggest reality and telling truth of a film’s popularity is that moviegoers vote with their wallets, and business was continually up day after day for The Last Jedi: Thursday’s $45M previews, Friday’s $59.8M ($104.8M including Thursday previews) and then Saturday’s $64M. There’s a huge want-to-see for this movie, and any kind of sour dialogue on IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic stems from cynics or ardent fans battling new fans.
$450 million worldwide in less than four days.

I’m not a huge Star Wars nerd. I can’t sit here and debate back and forth with most of you about the back history of all of the characters.

But I thought it was a good movie. Great? No. But it was good and my 7 year old daughter liked it.

These are people who apparently are ok with people moving things with their mind all the time, but Leia using the exact same power to pull herself back to the ship? Crazy.

So I saw the film today. I need somebody to talk me into being happy with what I saw because I walked away sorely disappointed.

Sure.

Things that should make you happy:
-Kyo Ren becoming more and more developed as a character
-The Battle of Crait
-Chewbacca eating a Porg
-Battle scene with Rey, Kylo, and Snoke
-****ing Yoda
-End scene with kid using force to get broom
-All force scenes with Kylo Ren and Rey
-Kylo Ren and Luke explaining WTF happened the night Luke thought about killing Kylo Ren

not only did it look reeruned she did it with zero training.

If you read a'lot of the negatives about the movie are people bitching about the lack of any training scenes.

This movie would have been 100% better if the cut out the entire casino scene and had rey/kylo training montage
