I’ve always wanted to be spoiled but in many ways, the spoilers

Just saw it in Australia. Had lots to like mixed in with some bad. A good movie trying to be a bad movie. Mark Hamil put in a great performance, as did Adam Driver. But then i was someone who loved him in the the force awakens. Wish they werent so campy with the humour.

Is this a legit post?

How does Kylo come across in this? I'm a big fan of Driver but I thought Kylo was on the verge of being a bit too angsty in TFA. Does the character mature at all?

DO NOT GO TO R/STARWARSLEAKS

It's full of leaked spy videos.

This, however, is not a leak.

I am out of this thread until I see it. Everyone enjoy the movie!

Bro why do you keep doin this to yourself lol

I'm good, I didn't click on any of them.

Got tickets to the first showing of the movie in the Tampa area tomorrow night. They sent me an email about the dress code for the movie. Light sabers oksy, except during the movie. Etc.

Haven't seen a single spoiler for the movie. I'll check back in tomorrow night.

Going tonight at 7:15...can't wait!!!

I wish I could do what you guys do, but I hate sitting in a crowded theater. ill probably go early sunday morning

To each their own. But that's not the kind of stuff i was talking about.

The wife and I are going to the 10:15 PM show tonight. Way past this old fart's bedtime but worth it.

I have tickets for Saturday night (Friday my HS alma mater is playing for the state championship - so we are having a serious tailgating party that night before the game), but after reading this thread the past few days and watching some other interview vids, etc., I couldn't stand it and picked up a ticket for the 12:01am show tonight. I'll put the kids to bed, give the wife a kiss goodnight, and head for the theatre.

14.5 hours to go and counting...

CAN'T FREAKIN' WAIT!

the III act was the best "Star Wars" ever put on film.

I'm not spoilering shit in a spoiler thread. WTF? So I'll chime in later.

Seeing it in less than an hour

Just got done.... Not quite sure how i feel about it.... Definitely need to go see it again. But as of right now i just don't know if i liked it

its got a lot of WTF moments and not in a good way.

Just got back from seeing it and yes, some WTF moments. I still liked it but I must say that Mark Hamill is probably one of the worst actors in my life time but I still loved most of his scenes. They actually interjected a lot of humor into this one. And the humor definitely wasn't the type of humor you would expect from Star Wars.

Holding for General Hux...

People need to slow their roll.

I HATE JJ ABRAMS, HE DID NOTHING TO CHANGE THE FRANCHISE.

Wait, what? Rian Johnson slightly adjusted the rules to a divine like energy field that’s connected to all living things in the galaxy? How dare he!

I can only imagine the reaction when suddenly old cloaked scary man started sending sparkles from his hands in Return of the Jedi.

The scenes with Mark Hamill and Snoke were interesting.

Everything else really sucked bad.

This movie Sucked 2 ****ing years for them to Move Rey's parentage to the 3rd movie

Go **** your Self Rian.

It was shockingly bad...

I thought the direction and pace sucked in the first act. The action scenes were great, but the conversations were directed so poorly. And Mark Hamill still sucks as an actor especially playing a tortured soul.

Rain needs to not be allowed near a Star Wars movie again. WAIT! He got 3 more movies?

Glad I'm not the only one.

Read a review that pretty much sums up the movie perfectly for me it's a good sci fi movie that star wars fans will hate.

90+ on rotten tomatoes and I don't care to ever see it again.

Man, it must suck to never enjoy anything. I thought the movie was good. Some moments that were a little off, but overall I enjoyed this movie and believe it was a fine installment in the series. Ready to go see it again.

I loved TFA and Rogue one.

I thought this movie was a Giant POS with zero payoff.

#Metoo I've already said the 3rd act of Rogue One was the best of all time.

and it had a real ****ing plot.

What the shit was the plot in this movie.

Find Luke/Get training ?

He barely trains her and Luke never leaves the planet.

Get a hacker from the casino wtf was the point of that why not just tell the Rebels your plan about the Shuttles ?

The more I think about it the More I hate this movie.

I will also never forget Force Leia Flying in space Mary poppins style Holy shit I hate this movie.

Really liked Rogue One (a movie that gets better on subsequent viewings). TFA was mediocre but a nice trip down memory lane with all the perfunctory introductions. But this movie is just bad. There is about 45 minutes that literally doesn't need to be in the movie, slows everything down, and requires one of the stupidest bits of reasoning to even occur that I couldn't believe they were actually doing it.

Everyone has been hailing Rian as the second coming of Irving Kurshner and what he's turned out is alternatively boring and stupid. What they did with most of the characters is dumb. The secrets we've all been wanting answers to either now don't matter, were never answered, and/or showcase that the creatives decided they'd pick about the lamest direction to go.

I don't want to spoil anything for fans (even though this is a spoiler thread), but what Leia does in this movie, what Luke does in this movie, what Ren/Rey do in this movie with the help of the Force is just stupid, stupid, stupid.

Since you brought it up -- it was just so bad it is almost indescribable. Since she doesn't do anything consequential for the rest of the film they should have just off'd her there and been done with it. At least it would have had a bit of emotional weight at that point...

At the screening I went to they showed a short documentary on John Williams (they may have done this everywhere, I don't know) but another problem with this movie is like TFA the music is nothing memorable at all.

I liked it! **** all that noise!

This dude know's what's up.

I literally do not know what I saw tonight. The Clone Wars and Rebels episodes are more "Star Wars" than the nonsense I sat through for 2 hours and 33 minutes tonight.

And unfortunately, I'm seeing it again on Saturday.

:facepalm:

Besides the fact that it also heavily drew upon the OT, they way it was edited was baffling.



Even my 9 year old said "I thought the movie was over but nope. Then I thought the movie was over but nope. And then I thought the movie was over and it was finally over! It felt like 4 hours!".

I'm absolutely baffled as to why they gave him keys to a full trilogy.

And at the end of the day, where does Episode IX take us? This felt like the end of Star Wars to me.

Episode IX is going to feel like some unnecessary epilogue.

Very similar experience at my theater. There was a lot of clapping and reaction at the start of the film. Almost no reaction throughout and a smattering of polite applause at the end.

Disney clearly doesn't understand Star Wars.

Princess Leia flying in space without a suit like Superman. Embarrassing. I don't know how Rian filmed that and thought -- yeah, that's a good idea.

Yeah, it was bad. I thought TFA was bad but this was worse. And re-purposing music from Empire was just ****ing absurd.

I didn't like the Rogue One score at first, probably because I was so engrossed in "learning" the film that it rubbed me the wrong way but now, I LOVE it.

John Williams should never score another Star Wars film. Blech.

I don't want to play Grand conspiracy and that disney pays for reviews....

But how the **** is this sitting at 92% the more I think about it the more pissed I am.

The Finn/rose story line is worse than anything in the Prequels I'll stand by the statement.

Yep, same here. Packed room at Arclight Hollywood, people dressed up, hooping and hollerin' when the Lucasfilm logo splashed the screen.

Little to no reaction during the film and at the end?

Silence.

My son made the same observation about the whole film feeling more like Episode 9 than Episode 8. Snoke was the best thing about the movie and he's only in a couple of scenes.

I don't know how Disney manufactured all the great love for Rian or the 93% on RottenTomatoes but wholly crap that was prequel-level bad...

Finn and Rose are both cookie-cutter two-dimensional characters. Having them play off of each other is worse than painful - it's boring.

What the **** was the point of even introducing that character?

All I can think is that KK and Lucasfilm decided to burn the whole thing down to ground. Burn and start over.

If so, great plan. :rolleyes:

What's worse than that is

What was really bad is that there was dialogue that you could tell was specifically inserted to address just how stupid the situations were. They can't catch up to the Resistance? Seriously? Oh, we'll add a line where they make light of it. They sit around in the Dreadnought while the Resistance attacks? Fine, we'll add a throw-away line about how stupid it is that they haven't launched thousands of TIE fighters. All through the movie there are absolutely insane events that are occurring because the script is so lazy and they skirt the issues with some slapstick humor or a dumb line.

Had such high expectations for this movie -- but starting to see that Star Wars has gone off the rails...

Oh and the other thing no one has mentioned yet (that I've seen)

JJ better make 9 a ****ing apology tour for this shit.

Start of with a 10-20 back story on snoke and how he turned Ben solo

Mid way find out Kylo was lying about Rey's parents.

After that 9 will be a x10 better movie than this POS was.

Yeah, that Dreadnought was supposed to be the equivalent of 5 miles wide yet they didn't have enough TIE's on board to wipe out 20 escape pods?

At least he could deliver his lines in a believable manner. I actually liked his last line a lot, but again it's sort of a summary for the whole film not really being all that relevant in the first place.

The whole mission to Casino planet was a complete waste of time and actually, as a Reddit contributor pointed out, it actually led to all the third-act problems the Resistance encountered. None of the side-quests were completed or helped advance the story in any way.

The whole "we're going to take the entire movie to chase the Resistance" was stupid beyond words.

At this point, I don't care. This movie did nothing to move the Star Wars galaxy forward. If anything, it took it backwards, like further back than TFA, which was a Beat-By-Beat clone of A New Hope.

We all knew what was going to happen in Rogue One and it was still ****ing bad ass to the bone.

This was an epic disaster. I might be lucky to match R1's box office.

yet flying back and forth to this location was easy Rey just shows right up like its no big deal.

GOD I hate this movie.

Well, at least they saved some Space Horses

I hope it makes less than Rouge one.

R1 was a much better movie even jokes felt less forced in R1 then this trash movie.

How many times did they have to try and use General Hux for comedic effect ?

What's even dumber is that they were conveniently close to a former Rebel base.

What are the odds?

Rian's Q&A screening at USC tonight:

“what Rey now knows about her parents—well, what Kylo told her about her parents”


JJ can basically bring back whatever his answer is and just say Kylo was lying about it.


Please JJ un**** the Star wars movies again.

One good thing I will take away from this movie is I have no desire to see rian johnson's Star wars trilogy what so ever.

This film makes Attack of the Clones look like Citizen Kane in comparison.

Whoda thunk?

I look over at my room mate and told him I would rather Watch anakin bitch about sand for 10 mins than see this movie again.

LMAO

The jokes in this movie reminded me a lot of George Lucas' humor from the prequels. If something isn't quite working let's have some slapstick or a fart or something...

Any one have any idea on wtf Patton is going on about ?

Wish I had known about this -- would have loved to have asked him why the f*** the First Order, having FINALLY tracked down the Resistance, couldn't send even a few TIE fighters or another Star Destroyer or something instead of spending the whole movie shooting at a ship that was supposedly "out of range" until they ran out of fuel. And why didn't the Resistance just use their ships to Hyperspace people all over the galaxy (like Finn and Rose were doing) and make multiple runs since the FO couldn't figure out the problem. And, now that I think about it, why was Laura Dern trying to stop them? Or not sharing what the plan was? Or taking Leia's role in the self-sacrificing?

This movie was so stupid.

I'm sure I would have gotten boo'd and then been told that I wasn't paying attention when Hux commented on the situation.

According to The Atlantic this is the best Star Wars movie since Empire...WTF are these people smoking?

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertai...s-back/548363/

The First Order can track spaceships through hyperspace but can’t land their battle cruisers (AT-A6) closer to the Resistance base than like 10 miles?

If they knew where the base was located, why try to blow out a blast door? Just nuke it from above.

The entire film is terrifyingly incompetent.

It’s an exercise in excess and buffoonery.

It came off like the bad Star Trek films where each of the marginal characters each had to have their "moment." Combined with a director who didn't want to lose a bunch of bits because he personally liked them.

It’s the exact opposite of Rogue One. Those people willingly sacrificed their lives to make the galaxy better and the Empire couldn’t have cared less.

The Empire didn’t care about the Rebels nor did they care about their own. Director Krennic spent his adult life serving the Empire and creating the ultimate weapon and yet Tarkin had zero issues killing him and everyone else on Scarif.

Kylo Ren didn’t even kill Hux.

I ****ing loved it.

Holy shit. There's a solid 50 post stretch of nothing but bitching. Was it really that bad?

I thought it was pretty well done overall. I liked how they tried to move BEYOND the Skywalkers. Yeah, the things mentioned here (Leiaflying, the casino scene) were pretty bad, but I was happy. Hopefully the second time through I can pick up on some of the tidbits....

The audience reviews on RT are inching towards 65%. Alot of the actual fans that saw the early screenings seem to be PISSED.

I originally thought I liked it and said so in my early review. Upon reflection I am jumping on the "this was a shit show" bandwagon. Ughhh
