That doesn't make this movie any worse. Everyone loved this movie before The Last Jedi came out.
shareYeah it kind of gets unfairly tainted by the other 2, abit like the way the reverse happened Revenge of the Sith. or Highlander or The Matrix (although both 1st HL and Matrix were far superior to TFA)
share"Everyone loved this movie before The Last Jedi came out."
...the fuck did I just read.
“Everyone” is a major exaggeration, but TFA was pretty well received when came out, despite the recycled storyline and the Mary Sue criticisms. But it’s also true that after VIII and IX turned out to be even worse than the prequels, people started hating VII as well.
shareThe only people that received that film positively were those that wanted to receive it positively because it was, finally, a new Star Wars and everyone was hyped beyond measure about it.
When things calmed down, people took of their tinted glasses and saw the movie for what it really is.
Nothing to do with the later movies whatsoever. They are all trash regardless.
The Force Awakens itself was not a very good movie. It never deserved the love it got in the first place.
shareIt more than deserved the love it received because the STAR WARS fans finally got the Old Cast back that made STAR WARS to begin with.. Unfortunately, I wouldn't have killed off Han Solo the way they did and would've negotiated Ford being in The LAST JEDI and kill him off there.. If I were making The FORCE AWAKENS, all of the Heroes would've reunited on screen together instead of the way they did it..

You're just hearing a loud, terminally online minority of losers.
Mark Hamill was not happy with The LAST JEDI and so much, Disney had to put a gag in his mouth over it and after seeing it only once, I could understand why?? 🤔
shareI hated it from the start, but this is because I fell enough for JarJar Abrams One Trick Pony style. He lost all my respect when he slaughtered Star Trek - even when the movies itself are OK, just not Star Trek - and went over to his heart project Star Wars and just delivered a fan flick. Never understood, why they not at least tried to adopt some of the huge story points from the Expanded Universe. Not necessarily the Thrawn trilogy, but I had liked to see an actual Jedi Academy like depicted in Kevin J Andersons books. The Sith ghost plot was actually quite nice idea and we could have seen how the Academy would be slowly consumed by the Siths. And as big trilogy conclusion we could have got a Yuuzhan Vong like enemy, with the reveal that Palpatine actually build the empire as he felt the danger for the GFFA and thus him. So much potential, left on the table.
Instead we got a Swedish Star Wars and the attempt to FINALLY bring in new ideas in Last Jedi was absolutely hated.
I only watched it once in theaters and once it was over it just didn't sit right with me. From Rey being super feminist to making sure it was known up front every character that wasn't white. A woman should have never been left in charge of Star Wars.
