The amount of nitpicking of this movie is out of control. All the supposed plotholes are completely wrong, the character motivations make perfect sense. My only problem with the movie was Rose and Finn being forced into the plot.
shareYou mean the worst? It was awful, stupid silly jokes, pointless plots , tedious space chase until one ran out of fuel, im not even going to bother explaining my detest for this movie as I've done so many times on this board , it's my least favourite star wars movie by a long way , Rian Johnson has put me off star wars movies going forward
shareIn this day and age, confidently mediocre passes for "brilliant"...
shareThe 'non-conforming' troll is forced to state that they like something that is universally hated in order to 'non-conform'.
It's quite simple really.
Indeed. Contrarianism for the sake of contrarianism has gotten so old and so obvious.
shareHow dare someone like something the mouth-breathing mobs of wannabe critics don't like. They must be a contrarian troll.
shareagree.
shareNormally I would say 'to each his own, everyone likes different stuff'. But for TLJ I have to make an exception. This movie is just straight up garbage and I would prefer to watch ANY other movie in its place. Destroying Star Wars is something I could only watch once and handle. NEVER AGAIN.
shareSo you must have been fine with The Phantom menace then?
don't deflect, mark. Stay on target.
share'being fine' with a movie or liking a movie are 2 different things though. I hated TPM (loved the dual with Maul though, actually my fav scene in all of Star Wars). But I would watch TPM 10000 times before I would watch TLJ again.
shareGlad you enjoyed it.
shareFinn wasn't forced into the plot. Rose was. If Rose hadn't been sheohorned in Finn would probably have had a story with Poe.
shareDoes it really make sense that a force trained jedi, who once believed he could turn darth vader to the light side of the force, who would not fight him in because he saw good in him. Does it make sense that he would stand above his nephew with a lightsabre(lasersword) with the intent to kill him because he "sensed" something bad in him?
shareit could make sense if written properly. Young idealists often become monster afraid to lose their power. There was an space opera scene and a SW trilogy dedicated to that theme.
But if you do such a drastic turn on Luke Skywalker's character you must write it in a way that such a turn becomes plausible. JJ the mystery hack did not even try, Ryan the mediocre writer he is failed at it.
Enter Jake Skywalker.
" because he "sensed" something bad in him?"
Yeah dont fall the same sh1t twice
You are right, the movie is ambitious and it paid off. At least that's what most of the learned people' opinions agree on.
