Do you wish George Lucas was still in control of Star Wars?

"Great work MagneticMonopole, keep lapping up this bilge because you're told to like it. Good boy."

Nobody is telling anyone to like this movie, though I seem to see a lot of losers telling people they should hate it. The fact of the matter is that Rian Johnson is a smart artist with wisdom and integrity, he did a very good (but not great) job, and I, unlike you folks, have the good taste to appreciate it. Now go cry some more.

"I literally have a thread asking for someone to defend this film and nobody has yet. Nobody."

If you could put together an intelligent, articulate argument for why the movie sucks, maybe you would deserve a response. But you people don't--you're just a bunch of idiotic cry-babies with a disturbing number of sexist pigs and racists among you. That's why I'm happy you are pissed at the movie. You don't deserve the franchise.

As I've said before, there are a lot of things that annoy me about the movie that Rian Johnson could have done better, starting with about 20 -25 wasted minutes on the casino planet. But the good far outweighs the bad, as the positive critical reception the film has received shows.

"I notice all you manage to do is to insult people who disagree with you. "

In other words, you only notice what is convenient for you to notice and ignore everything else. Got it.

"RT clearly stated that this ratings are perfectly fine."

Wrong. The former editor in chief of the site has gone on record saying that, with first hand knowledge of how the site and its users work, he does not believe it should be taken seriously as an objective measure of audience reaction.

No Internet site of any kind that is based on anonymous user-generated content can, at any time, be taken seriously as such an objective measure, and only an idiot thinks otherwise. Let me hold you hand and explain why once again. (It will still probably go right over your head.)

1. Users can write reviews and make scores without having ever seen a film, and do so before the film has even been released. Scores for TLJ started appearing before the premier.

2. They can also make multiple accounts and vote more than once to up grade or down grade a score--people have admitted to doing this. It is cheating.

3. Groups with an agenda can organize via social media to do both 1 and 2, making their influence on ratings and reviews grotesquely and unrealistically exaggerated from the reality of what most ordinary ticket buyers think. This is has been bragged about by people who have done this very thing in the case of TLJ.

4. Internet users, who have no accountability, have a bad habit of idiotically exaggerating ratings rather than making a measured, intelligent response. When you look at ratings on the IMDB, for instance, there are a completely unreasonable number of 10's and 1's given to all kinds of movies. Those ratings should be incredibly rare. Critics, who have names and reputations to defend (as well as more academic training in film studies) and who see and think about more movies than anonymous users, are a much saner, rational pool from which to get reasonable data.

5. User ratings are self-generated by motivated users rather than random samples of the population. This fact alone disqualifies them as any reliable measure of what audiences really think.
