The story being pretty weak? Roland00 Send a noteboard - 15/12/2017 10:03:51 PM

I mean, there's some good scenes, and I liked the new actress. Not unimportantly, it provides at least the potential for a somewhat more original/interesting conclusion to the trilogy. But overall I found the story really weak.

Isn't that star wars in general? The OT, the prequels, episode 7, the original expanded universe (now known as legends), the cartoons, I assume the most recent EU books? When does this not apply?

That's about the only thing that is NOT spoiled by viewing the original trilogy Cannoli - 18/12/2017 11:51:30 PM 609 Views
It opened tonight. Just got back from seing it random thoughts - 15/12/2017 04:57:22 AM 880 Views
I found it very underwhelming to be honest. Legolas - 15/12/2017 06:57:39 PM 880 Views
But you don't like anything..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 15/12/2017 08:14:39 PM 258 Views
I like plenty of stuff. The latest Thor movie, for instance. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:33:39 AM 540 Views
But this story was not only halfway decent, it was the best Star Wars story ever! Cannoli - 18/12/2017 11:52:35 PM 543 Views
very minor spoilers random thoughts - 15/12/2017 08:43:44 PM 541 Views
Big spoilers. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:55:05 AM 674 Views
I think the two go hand it hand (still spoliers) random thoughts - 16/12/2017 01:43:00 AM 587 Views
Fair point. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:42:54 PM 636 Views
Thank you. I was looking for a breakdown but that tells me enough. Tom - 18/12/2017 01:45:41 AM 589 Views
Agreed with everything you wrote here. The Shrike - 18/12/2017 12:22:56 PM 565 Views
Well, I hope they are. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:32:29 PM 563 Views

Well, in the computer games, for one. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:29:31 AM 545 Views
I have mixed feelings about it. The Shrike - 18/12/2017 12:18:05 PM 569 Views
"The middle of a trilogy is usually the weakest" ... except The Empire Strikes Back Tom - 18/12/2017 02:45:26 PM 508 Views
Yes. Both the good and evil camps are shallow imitations of the original series. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:59:14 PM 499 Views
I found it confusing, terrible and kind of boring *spoilers* AgentApple - 16/12/2017 10:41:34 PM 575 Views
I very much agree with this review AgentApple - 16/12/2017 11:06:55 PM 638 Views

The Jedi were slave owners random thoughts - 18/12/2017 01:42:19 PM 534 Views
Yet they still managed to create a pretty great political system Tom - 18/12/2017 02:46:54 PM 543 Views
They weren't the owners, that was the Republic/Senate Cannoli - 19/12/2017 01:38:05 PM 542 Views
stop making excuses for the slave masters random thoughts - 19/12/2017 03:22:54 PM 463 Views
They are no different than Eisenhower, MacArthur or Pershing, all of whom led slave soldiers Cannoli - 20/12/2017 12:09:33 AM 547 Views
draftees are not biologically modified slaves random thoughts - 20/12/2017 02:49:33 PM 534 Views
No, they're just ill-prepared slaves Cannoli - 21/12/2017 11:34:02 AM 548 Views
No the Jedi sucked random thoughts - 21/12/2017 04:18:48 PM 569 Views

I got up and walked out. *spoilers* aerocontrols - 18/12/2017 07:48:42 PM 598 Views
I'm confused. Legolas - 18/12/2017 08:19:48 PM 554 Views
You may have walked out a bit early... *NM* Ghavrel - 21/12/2017 09:41:00 PM 266 Views
It's kind of hilarious how divided opinion is on this movie... Legolas - 18/12/2017 07:53:12 PM 696 Views
That would explain much *NM* AgentApple - 19/12/2017 07:15:36 AM 319 Views
I really liked it as a deconstruction of Star Wars. Ghavrel - 19/12/2017 10:34:59 PM 641 Views
You're going to have to elaborate on that one... Legolas - 19/12/2017 11:22:01 PM 688 Views

It is JJ Abrams and the idiot critics love him random thoughts - 20/12/2017 02:51:06 PM 558 Views
Abrams didn't do this film. Rian did. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/12/2017 09:46:21 PM 285 Views
It's not real opinion that's divided. Tom - 20/12/2017 02:59:59 PM 745 Views
Did anyone else think... *spoilers* Duke - 20/12/2017 05:04:44 AM 1009 Views
Well it was original fan-fic...first half tedious, second half quite enjoyable Sports_Gambler - 21/12/2017 06:14:35 AM 689 Views
