Why in the **** do you think you're the designated spokesperson for this film?

The is film is going to gross less than 75% of The Force Awakens, which essentially sets up Episode IX as grossing about 50% of The Force Awakens.

Rian Johnson is single-handedly killing the Star Wars franchise.

:facepalm:

Again, you know absolutely nothing about the movie business.

You're just a fanboi.

Not only will TLJ do 1.5 billion, but Rian will get his trilogy, and it will make gobs of money.

You're just a hater.

except this...

If there is one universal truth in the world, it's that people are far more likely to seek out a message board if they have negative comments. As I said in an earlier post, I'm yet to actually meet anyone in real life that didn't like movie (and most loved it). I find that odd, given the vitriol on-line, but then I remembered that typically people aren't nearly as motivated to speak out when they are happy so I'm sure that's where the imbalance lies.

The audience has spoken with its wallet, as well as with reviews. If you don't know anyone who didn't like the movie, you don't know anyone.

Or he is one of those people that is so annoying and they lead you in questions about the movie so the people he does talk to just see where it is headed and agree with him just to get him to shut up.

We all know people like that.

"Hey, you just saw The Last Jedi right? It was so awesome wasn't it?"

"Yeah Frank, it was awesome. Can I go?"

My biggest annoyance with people claiming others are just "haters" or "nitpicking" is that they fall back on "enjoyment" as a mark of how good a film is, and they haven't quite grasped that people can enjoy shit films (look at The Room or Titanic or Avatar).

TLJ is shit storytelling. With all the lore, nostalgia, personal history, and fandom removed, it is still structurally a shitty story with a shitty plot told in a shitty manner. I can't think of a single scene where RJ did anything creative with his lighting or camera work. I would be more than happy to rewatch a shitty story if the cinematography is legitimately great. Hell, Interstellar is a great example of that for me.

I disagree. But to each their own.

Actually know a ton of pretty die hard star wars fans... and a fair number of casual fans. None have said they hated the movie. None. That's just been my experience, but just seems odd given the level of hate in some of these posts.

ha ha ha... I'm in marketing, so a portion of my job involves survey development. Spend a fair amount of effort not asking leading questions that will skew the result.

Exactly. Some like it, some don't. No cause for all this butt hurt.
