    Just got back from a 2nd viewing.
    Loved it, fucken enjoyable movie. Dont get all the negative shit been thrown at it.
    Check out the reviews over at imdb, hundreds upon hundreds of low ratings. Almost like its some sort of orchestrated mass trolling effort.

    90% of the official reviews are positive, those are generally the guys who tear into a film while the general fan loves it (see anything DC)

    Will be seeing it a couple more times.

    @virgil i think there are enough holes for people to have a go at without necessarily not enjoying the experience overall.

    :::

    Space flying Leia is pretty fucking stupid. Hux is honestly terrible. The entire Casino story line is needless, and actually brings the whole movie down.

    I don't understand the need to introduce ANOTHER kick ass female general just to kill her off at the end.

    Yeah its not perfect, most films aren’t
    But it’s Star Wars, it doesn’t need to be.
    Just as long as it’s..

    Not 90% filmed in front of a green screen

    Replace physical characters with shitty CGI

    Not discussing Midi-chlorians

    Jar Jar Binks less

    @virgil there are a couple of scenes that if they were in the much derided prequels, would have been slagged mercilessly

    True. Also if New Hope was released today it would be pulled apart the same way

    People just have to enjoy the films for the entertainment that they are and realise it isn't real life

    Wait, what? Who loves Hack's DC movies? 😉

    But agree, seems to be getting a lot of negativity that doesn't seem deserved - even with my reservations about certain scenes and storylines it will still an enjoyable watch. Will need a second watch in the cinema soon too. It's already earned $450m so the negative nellies aren't having too much an influence box office wise.

    I'm not sure which new female character I hated more. Purple hair or Asian. They both suuuuuccckkkked in my opinion. Finn and Rose are definitely THE worst duo in SW history and as others have said the Casino scene definitely the most pointless ( perhaps tied with Saw Guerara in Rogue One ).

    All that being said there were obviously awesome scenes too. Best probably the fight with the Red Guards.

    @mn5 Worse than Ani and whoever Natalie Portman is - nothing is worse than that duo.

    praetorian guards, how hard is it to call them by their real names...

    yeah nothing tops Ani and Natalie Portman in terms of 100% lacking chemistry as a pair.

    Wrong. At least Annie and Padme were kinda central to the plot. Finn and Rose are pointless tokens at best. Black Guy and Asian chick. Way to be politically correct Star Wars writers.

    I've heard the Leia force space pull being described as the Mary Poppins moment. An apt description.

    Cue someone posting the Yondu gif. 🙂

    I think there's another section of this forum for that kind of response?

    Bit silly to consider one of the main characters of the new trilogy a token at best.

    I would have preferred that Snoke's backstory was answered in TLJ but I will give Rian Johnson credit for how he wrote his death scene. Snoke's monologue seems to be predicting his own death at the hand of Kylo Ren.

    But then there was the "snuff them out" line - twice!!

    The whole casino lock pick tangent was a bit of a commentary on the arms business in general. Not essential to the story but I didn't mind them trying to say something there

    I'm on record as saying I would rather they kept her sister around - for Jegga type reasons - and I don't think much of that part of the storyline, but it was just storyline, bad storyline, but storyline nonetheless.

    The idea that there were people profiting from selling arms to both sides was a bit of a reality check from the usual good v evil SW story line
