RT Critics Consensus slams the movie for lack of imagination and shameless fan service!

It reads: "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker suffers from a frustrating lack of imagination, but concludes this beloved saga with fan-focused devotion."

This makes me really angry at the fanboi TLJ detractors! There, J.J. basically just did a "Super 8" on this movie like he did on the previous one and a couple of others across different franchises. You happy now?

So, what they're saying, is that the movie subverted the critics expectations?

The critics must be man-babies with daddy issues and hate strong independent Mary Sue cutout characters.

Yes you see the posts? They're ecstatic af actually. I can see why, they get to have their cake and eat it too. Disney blinked, tried to cater to them, apparently it didn't pan out so they still get to pile on the hate-train. This is what happens when you let the internet make creative decisions for a film franchise.
