Star Wars Episode 8 The last of us

[Bornist]

***SPOILER ALERT***

I'm just glad to see they brought the Ewoks back.

It was a movie with explosions and a lot of weird creatures. Wish it had some cooler vistas and environments; the casino was shot so closely and so far out you didn't get a good feel for it. There were also a lot of times where I had a hard time understanding the topography/architecture where it seemed they were teleporting around from scene to scene; it didn't feel connected at times.

Also, weird hair dye job and alient tit milk - those things happen






he was raised on the stuff

the casino was horrible.  that was too "prequel" to me.
and uh, are we really overlooking the most terrible, horrible, no good, very bad, Leia floating in space?  WTF???
and Luke called Jedi a religion.  which i found strange.
the campy jokes, poe acting "on hold" was so un-star wars.  i got angry 10 mins into the movie and it never recovered.

It just didn't feel like Star Wars. It felt like a parody in places.

I'm super forgiving of Star Wars, as evidenced by the fact that I even love the prequels. I've never been so disappointed in a Star Wars movie. I really hope my mind will change over time because I like this the least out of any, by a long way. It was dumb, badly written and disrespectful.

[HailingTheThings]

I thought it was just ok.  I think I liked Force Awakens better.  I don't like how they just killed people off.  I'm actually growing quite tired of people being killed off in movies, just so the threat can seem real or whatever.  Some don't barely even get a mention after they die, like Ackbar.  And maybe one of the only new characters I actually care about, Snoke, doesn't get any backstory.  At least, not yet.  I want to know more about him, what was he doing during the earlier episodes, is he a Sith, or a Dark Jedi or what?  Where does he fit in all this?  He is the one that seems like the real threat, not Kylo.

That really pissed me off.

I believe they answered some of this in one of these books:

I remember reading somewhere that Snoke was some kind of collector and a bit of a fanboy of the empire and whatnot.

Leia floating in space?  WTF???

I snorted so loud in the theatre when that scene happened that I got shushed. lol

I just took it as that was Didnee's way of "paying homage."

Shouldn't have been in the film, though.

I always had the utmost respect for you.

Until you defended the prequels.

[emoji4]

SRSLY, though...I am ignoring this thread and I’m watching the new film next week with my family.

I hope it doesn’t suck as bad as folks have indicated.

It's bad.

It's not prequel bad.

But by the end of the movie I didn't care about any of the  characters

Yeah, what a shame.

I wonder if tempering my expectations will make me less likely to be annoyed?

That is how I tend to operate...

Also, I find it hilarious that I have loved the recent  Voltron reboot (every season)...yet, Star Wars has struggled to be more than a passing interest to me.

I came in with low expectations and was still disappointed.

[lukester]

I personally liked it. Definitely better than the mess that was rogue one and of course the prequels

Still had plenty of issues though, such as both romances and the small amount of extras. But it is still more enjoyable than all the mediocre, formulaic marvel movies coming out recently.

[lukester]

On a side note, the trailer for the Jurassic world sequel looked awful, with zero plot. Holy shit!

Weird, I think Rogue One is the best of the Disney Star Wars movies.

I'm about 50/50 on this release.  I think there were elements I was disappointed in, but was pretty happy to see a few scenes.  It's somewhere between the prequels (horrid) and the originals.  If you're a fan, you should definitely see it.

[turboswimbz]

Yeah I'm with josh, rouge one felt the most star wars to me. the Prequels are all about preference in my mind . . . I actually quite like episode one. . .  but most people are either love em or hate em.

the Marvel movies are just "look what I animated"  no plot, no story, bad acting ect.

Jurassic World has no where to go, hey sucked all the nostalgia of the first one in that last one, and the plot was rather forced...I have low expectations for next fall.

That being said I'm going to wait and see this one for free somewhere down the line.  Like i did the last one in the series, and hope I enjoy it.   

I would love it if some original movies came out...I haven't seen a movie I was enthralled by in about 5-6 years. 

[_joshuaTurbo]

Go see Coco.  The new Disney/Pixar movie.  I honestly think it's one of the best movies of the year.
