I dislike JJ as a filmmaker but I’m sure it will be entertaining. It will probably also fall apart upon closer inspection.

Early reactions say it's a lot of movie, including one where they say "there's a lot happening, but the best parts are when nothing's happening." So...uh-oh. I'm having flashbacks to the assault on Starkiller base, which was so busy my eyes glazed over and I couldn't tell you a thing that happened during it the moment I walked out the theater.

I don't think I could describe for you more than 20 minutes of Star Trek: Into Darkness, except a general sense of loathing.

That's not comforting! I will have an edible before ROS! I will have fun in the moment! I doubt I'll think about it as much after the fact as I did TLJ!
alrighty, time to stay out of this thread, i've already read too much for not wanting to go in with any sort of preconceived notions of what e9 will be. see you on the other side.

Critics screening just got out a little while ago and folks like Erlich, David Sims, Emma Stefansky, et al have weighed in, and....uh.

Keep in mind these are the same people who saw CATS last night; their grip on reality is compromised.

For better or worse, it seems like the movie The Fandom deserves.

RT has pretty much zero credibility. In evidence I cite this review score.

They're giving you a Star Wars movie that goes aggressively in the opposite direction from the one you've taken every opportunity to grouse about for the last two years and yet you can't even accept it gracefully.

Huh? My post was in response to someone using RT to say that the new one sucks without having seen it. RT critic scores are garbage. I put more faith in audience scores, and my own experience watching it.
A direct quote of me will earn a reply. If you think that’s showing a lack of grace, that’s not my issue.
I don’t have an opinion of the movie yet because I haven’t seen it. But if it retcons the hot trash that was TLJ, yes, I will be pleased. I don’t begrudge folks for liking TLJ, I simply don’t. Just like I don’t begrudge folks for not liking The Mandalorian even though I love it.
I think Star Wars is at its best when it remembers what it really is. It’s a spaghetti western in space. TLJ was not that and it did it’s best to shit on nearly 40 years of what came before for the goal of “subverting expectations“. The Mandalorian doesn’t do that.
to be honest, I don’t have that high of hopes for ROS, but considering what TLJ gave us, it doesn’t have a high bar to cross to be better than that.
