I get this is Star Wars and you have to buy in to a lot of fantasy, but these movies (at least the original trilogy) never moved into stupid like this film does. |

Poe is no Han Solo. He’s actually a pretty lame character.

The new trilogy seems to be the inverse of the PT to me. As shitty as the acting was in the prequels I thought the writing was decent. Most of it felt like Star Wars to me. I thought the scores were really great in the prequels, too.
These movies got some decent actors and totally shit writing. IX is going to have to totally blow me out of the water to redeem this and I don't see JJ pulling it off. Hopefully the spinoff/standalone movies can redeem the universe a little. Rogue One was a great start. Last edited by ShiftyEyedWaterboy; 12-15-2017 at 11:26 AM.. |

So look at the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes:
60% and dropping fast. By comparison The Force Awakens has an 89%. The original trilogy has no film under 94% (RotJ). The Last Jedi is now below prequel film Revenge of the Sith and has only 3-points to go before it falls below Attack of the Clones as the worst Audience Score of all the Star Wars movies. UPDATE: That didn't take long...it is now down to 59% have just tied The Phantom Menace. Still dropping... Last edited by RINGLEADER; 12-15-2017 at 11:39 AM.. |

It seems like Rian Johnson and the Star Wars braintrust went out of their way to do the opposite of what fans expected because -- why not? The misdirection worked in the film, but the place it got them to with respect to Rey's parents, Snoke, Luke, and Leia would actually have been better if they had gone in the opposite direction. I get that you don't want to be derivative, but they ended up in just about the worst place you could take a Star Wars film and they did it only to "be different."
Audience scores continue to fall in difference to the reviewers. Big disconnect on this one. |

If Solo flops (and at this point, it's certainly not a guaranteed success), Iger may need to step in and make changes at Lucasfilm. |

After falling from 65% to 58% this morning, the RT Audience Score has stopped updating...
