I liked this new Star Wars movie. Is pretty fun and has some epic star warsy moments.
Surprised by all the haters. This new one was dealt a bad hand and pulled off the impossible imo (just). Don't think the problem is this film - it's the fact that the one before completely fucked the whole trilogy over by having zero character development, no chemistry between characters, killing off the main villain, killing the main Skywalker, ending with zero cliffhangers and then sadly having Carrie Fisher pass away. Yikes. Weirdly there's a bunch of critics I read and listen to defend the shit out of that Last Jedi movie. Boggles my mind.
- Superman vs Batman writer on Rise of Skywalker. Need I say more? The first half of the movie is utter crap. Worse than Last Jedi imo.NBQ00
- almost nobody care what kind of hand they've been dealt. they just don't like the movie.pango
- Oh well. Got a bad wrap imo. Kinda loved a lot of it. But yeah, last Jedi hasn't aged well at all - is trash.inteliboy
- I really loved it. No joke. Had a great time watching it. Last film is better cos of this one.robthelad

That last episode of the Mandalorian tho! Love the retro-ness of the effects.

finally got to see it for myself and oh dear what a mess.
it's a shame as there were some excellent moments, but it collapsed under it's own lack of direction, and bizarre need to have some kind of valedictory lap of honour for the old guard.fuck you jj abrams for chucking it all away like that.

finally caught 9. Best of the new three. Felt like the first trilogy. And finally, somebody wrote the fuck out of the story to not only twist a lot of loose change together but to create an adequate ending to an impossible cultural icon.
plenty of "fuck yeah" moments. cried a couple of times. it and rogue one are the only worthy successors to the first three. don't believe all the "nay" it was a fun movie and they did a good job.
- Had the same feels dude. Glad you had a good time. Now there are two of us!robthelad
- agreed. seems we're in the minority though.inteliboy
- feel like I'm living in a bizarro world where super hero films are boring tripe and Star Wars still is nerdy fun - but the internet tells me the opposite.inteliboy
- I'm shocked anyone would rank this the highest of the three. The people who generally like it talk about how fun it was.CyBrainX
- ...as if the bar was set at Fast and FuriousCyBrainX
- The bar was set at New Hope which was corny as fuck and had awful fight scenes and dialog. But OKAYmonospaced

Why is there no IX thread? Odd.
- it seemed pointless after VIIIfadein11
- Yeah, the franchise jumped the shark after VIII. There wasn't much point.MondoMorphic

Saw this last night for the first time since it was in the theater and I like it even more now since Rise of Skywalker.
Rian Johnson's plan to subvert expectations ended up making this an offbeat chapter in the new trilogy. An offbeat chapter that entertains for the most part.
Thumbs up! One of the better Star Wars movies.
