Star Wars Episode 8 The last of us

[lukester]

The recent blade runner was outstanding. Had the atmosphere of the original but also a much better plot

I personally liked it. Definitely better than the mess that was rogue one

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.

Yeah, I liked Rogue One more than ______, too.

I wasn’t particularly interested in seeing the new Star Wars film that is out now, but this thread has made me very curious about it (to compare notes).

But, I must confess that I am going to probably see “The Room” first. Then Star Wars.

Rogue One has so far still be my favorite of these new movies, aside from the crazy CGI stuff.

CGI casino scene in Last Jedi was totally lame. They get thrown in jail all because of a parking violation. 


New Blade Runner was f*cking great, maybe my favorite movie this year.

hated the casino

It was a beautiful mess. Laura Dern with purple hair. Kylo pecs. Alien tit-milk. Beautiful mess.

Haha, I agree! I liked it well enough, but think I enjoyed Rogue One a bit more.

I couldn't suppress my inner nerd today, so I wore my Darth "Give me some space!" Vader shirt to the theater.

I don't think I could pick between Last Jedi and Rogue One as which I like better. They're both weird and entertaining, yet make me angry in different ways. lol

That shirt is fun. <3

Last Jedi just made so many questionable plot choices which can't be taken back, and didn't pay off on any of  the intriguing questions Force Awakens set up. I don't care at all about seeing ep. 9 now since almost all the characters I care about are dead (and even most of their nameless comrades for that matter), and the rules and themes of the world now hardly make any sense.

Then again, I was pretty bothered when the Republic was destroyed in Force Awakens, and then they immediately cut to scenes of Rey and BB-8 lost in the woods. I was thinking, "Doesn't anyone else care that probably trillions of people and the seat of power they fought to take back in the original trilogy was just obliterated?" What are they even fighting for anymore?

Of course Last Jedi was a beautifully shot movie with amazing action and effects, and Mark Hammill's performance was excellent. Guess that's all that matters, right?

I just wanted to know the identity of Rey's parents. But if they can't make the payoff of that reveal good anyway, then smarter to keep it a mystery, heh.

EDIT: Mark Hamill "hurts" for everything that has happened to Luke. This is spoily:

**SPOILER ALERT**

It kinda feels like either Kylo was lying to her or it was perhaps another immaculate conception like with Anakin. That scene when Rey falls into the island anus and ends up looking at herself when asking questions makes it feel this way. She came from nothing. Hmm.

[NightWolve]

I can't help but feel something was missing from it... Can't quite put my finger on it... Lemme think... Ahh yes!! Darth Vader!!! When you absolutely positively must go Samuel Jackson on the enemy... Star Wars just isn't the same without him... Someone to deliver memorable lines like, "Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Director." A villain with some wit! Kylo just looks like a weebo or hipster to me, heh heh.

[GaijinD]

Saw it last night. I honestly didn't see anything worth the level of anger this seems to be getting from some corners. It made some surprising choices, sure, but I think it generally betrayed my expectations in an interesting way. This may count as a mild spoiler, but I felt like it had the theme of a new generation taking the reigns, which is appropriate seeing as that's what's happening with the current Star Wars movies.

Wow, that hits

[NightWolve]

The Captain didn't like this movie either... Made his views known on 4chan of all places... :/

Yeah, I feel like there may be more to it as well.

This movie was a beautiful trainwreck in a lot of places.  It was a solid ride but I probably could have waited for the home video release. 

The third movie could change the overall feel of this one, though.  Not everyone loved Empire when it came out originally: https://io9.gizmodo.com/heres-how-fans-reacted-to-the-empire-strikes-back-in-19-1821551259
