@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

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.
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.

@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.
:::
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.

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 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.

Ok Finn less so but Rose? Waste of space....

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!!

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

I loved it thought it was fun start to finish and on the edge of my seat for most of it.
The only down side was Leia saving herself. Twice. First with her little space flight and then by letting purple hair crash the ship. Should have been Leia doing that.
As for Snoke. I loved the scene in his throne room, and couldn't really care about his back story. I never knew the back story of the emperor when I was a kid but I was stoked when that evil bastard bought it.

Good point re the emperor. Before Phantom menace I never really gave him much thought.
Now I think about it I'm gutted that old mate Admiral Akbar bagged it.
